Creating long term sustainable value
We invest in flexible, modern properties for local primary healthcare. The overall objective of the Group is to create progressive returns to shareholders through a combination of earnings growth and capital appreciation. To achieve this, PHP has invested in healthcare real estate let on long-term leases, backed by a secure underlying covenant where the majority of rental income is funded directly or indirectly by a government body.
Our key strengths
PHP aims to operate in a relatively low risk environment to generate progressive returns to shareholders through investment in the primary healthcare sector, which is less cyclical than other real estate sectors.
By providing additional space facilitating the provision of additional services or extending the term of underlying leases, PHP can increase and lengthen its income streams and create the opportunity to add capital value.
PHP's portfolio is managed by an experienced team within an efficient management structure, where operating costs are tightly controlled.
PHP funds its portfolio with a diversified mix of equity and debt, in order to optimise risk-adjusted returns to shareholders.

Wider outcomes
Social impact
