About GLPR
GLPR holds listed property trusts and real estate companies from developed markets outside Australia, with the currency exposure hedged back to Australian dollars. It tracks a FTSE EPRA Nareit developed markets ex Australia index, is passively managed and holds around 300 companies. Its low fee is a key feature.
The US makes up most of the fund, with Japan, the UK, Europe and Asia making up the rest. Holdings span health care facilities, logistics warehouses, data centres, shopping centres, self-storage and apartments, so the fund offers types of property that are hard to access on the ASX. Names such as Welltower, Prologis and Equinix sit near the top. Property prices are sensitive to interest rates and can fall sharply when rates rise. Distributions form a meaningful part of the return and are unfranked. Hedging means the Australian dollar has little effect on returns.
GLPR is often used as a satellite to add global property to a portfolio. The closest alternative is REIT, and VAP and MVA cover Australian property; see REIT vs GLPR and VAP vs GLPR.
