The Group considers key criteria such as: ability to conduct business in hard currency, repatriation of funds, political risk, land tenure and debt raising ability in the first instance before proceeding further with any investment opportunity.

Investment opportunities are then assessed against Investment Guidelines as indicated below:

Notes:
* applicable also where the ability exists to hedge local currency at a commercially acceptable cost
** the company further mitigates exposure to local trading currencies in retail assets through investing in urban centres and high growth nodes with high trading densities and where USD income is prevalent e.g. expat communities
*** the targeted total return for the group is achieved through the combination of dividend yield of min 8.0% and the balance of NAV growth to the 12.0% target
