In South Africa, the Fund owns a direct portfolio of properties diversified across the retail, industrial, office and residential sectors, which it segregates between the Commercial Portfolio (the retail, industrial and office properties) and the Residential Portfolio (the residential properties). The Residential Portfolio includes the properties of Transcend Property Fund (Transcend), a specialist residential property company owned by Emira which is focused on value-oriented, good-quality suburban units.
