WELCOME FROM PAUL DENNIS-JONES CHAIRMAN, ASSOCIATION OF REAL ESTATE FUNDS

The Association of Real Estate Funds (AREF) is delighted to welcome you to The Dorchester for our 2012 Annual Dinner, my first since becoming Chairman.

Lobbying

With the increas ing flow of regulation

from Europe, we have been very busy in

our lobbying activities. This has included:

• Alternative Investment Fund

Managers (AIFMD) Directive – we

have remained active on this, with

one of our working groups looking

into Level 2 measures.

• European Market Infrastructure

Regulation (EMIR) & OTC Derivatives

– we have lobbied extensively on

both of these, which significantly

impact geared real estate funds.

• Solvency II & IORP (Pension Review)

– we continue to lobby on both

these issues, with regards to their

implications for real estate funds.

• PAIF Conversions – following our

extensive lobbying work, tax changes

to facilitate PAIF conversions were

completed with the publication of

new capital taxation regulations

which came into effect on 1st August.

This will allow transfers of investors

between the OEIC and Unit Trust

feeder, without tax consequences at

the time of the exchange.

Working with other industry bodies

• Property Industry Alliance (PIA) –

we continue to be involved in this

group, which provides a co-ordinated

and cross-industry approach to

analysing and discussing the impact

of the current debt crisis. The group

recently released a report (which

is available to our members as

a secure download from our

website), which focusses on many

issues including the level of debt

outstanding against UK commercial

real estate and how this has changed

since 2011.

• European property collaboration

– we are also joining forces with

seven other European & national

real estate organisations to form

an, as yet un-named, European

real estate group intended to

improve industry co-ordination and

education on a European level.

4 | AREF ANNUAL DINNER 2012

Communicating with our members

Steps to improve our communication

included:

• New website launched – this has a

new facility enabling both public

and member-only documents to be

posted onto the site.

• New logo, brand and stationery

launched – all of which give us a

fresh new look.

• New Communications Executive hired

– to improve the quality, quantity

and breadth of our communication.

• Events – we have held a number of

‘member only’ events this year, all of

which help our members to enhance

their understanding of issues relating

to the real estate industry.

Research

Our ongoing research projects include:

• Real Estate Allocations in Retirement

Saving Schemes – we will be looking

at the impact of these, prompted by

the decline of DB Schemes.

• Secondary Trading – to improve

the transparency of the unlisted

funds industry, we want to present

a clearer picture of the secondary

trading market.

Performance Measurement

• AREF/IPD UK Pooled Property

Fund Index – we have been

consulting on a number of

potential changes to the indices;

to be finalised soon.

• IPD Pan European Property Fund

Funds Index – we have agreed to

sponsor this Index, another key

step in the growing transparency

of our market.

The economy, our clients and our

industry are all undergoing significant

changes which will affect us all –

increased regulation, globalisation

and consolidation to name a few.

AREF will continue to work pro-actively,

with you and other organisations, to

protect and enhance both yours and

our clients interests. There is still

much for us to do.

ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION OF REAL ESTATE FUNDS (AREF)

We are the industry association which represents the unlisted real estate funds industry.

AREF seeks to promote the interests of member funds by:

Ensuring that members offer consistently high quality products and support services to investors and their advisers, and by enhancing the understanding of real estate funds by those users;

Informing, influencing and lobbying policy makers, tax and regulatory authorities and other official bodies to achieve the optimum environment for real estate funds;

Influencing the factors that will progress our industry by seeking ways to enhance the products and services offered by members; addressing the concerns of third party stakeholders; and developing members’ understanding of new asset types.

As part of these objectives, AREF promotes and polices a Code of Practice and

provides a large part of the finance for the AREF / IPD UK Pooled Property Fund

AREF Investment Quarterly (AREF IQ), which provides data and commentary on

fund returns, liquidity, yields and capital flows into and out of funds, and gives

a valuable overview of the UK unlisted real estate funds market.
