Dear Stakeholders,
PIC to date has primarily invested in and managed office buildings and residential properties located in the Tokyo Economic Bloc. This focus on the Tokyo Economic Bloc is result of our conviction that Tokyo is the center for Japanese economic, political and cultural arenas. This means that the region of Tokyo has greater potential than other areas of Japan and the fact that both the real estate sales and leasing markets in Tokyo overwhelm other markets are factors backing this decision.
Our investment strategy also focuses on delivering stability by investing in office buildings, which have strong potential for growth, as well as residential properties, a property class that is very stable both in good and bad times. Our intent is to secure stable revenues by compensating for fluctuations in rental income between periods of economic recovery and downturns.
The target portfolio balance is 60% for office buildings and 40% for residential properties (based on acquisition price). Immediately after PIC's IPO, the figures were 80% office buildings and 20% residential properties. However, presently the proportion of office buildings has dropped to approximately half of the portfolio.
The inclusion of NTT Urban Development Corporation, one of the largest building owners in Japan, as the main sponsor provides PIC with a dependable pipeline for acquiring office buildings. It has also been arranged that NTT Urban Development will provide information on property deals it is involved in before others. These “advantages” should provide PIC with greater opportunities for investing in office buildings, and we intend to realize the targeted investment balance by asset class as early as possible and expand PIC's portfolio.
