Work still to be done on senior living facility supply - JLL NZ report
Despite a decade of significant growth, New Zealand’s thriving senior living sector is still struggling to keep pace with demand from an ageing population. This is among the key take-outs from JLL NZ’s 10th annual Senior Living and Aged Care Report, released today.
Summer Update
Senior Trust has consistently returned 6% pa or better over the past 6 years. The income is underpinned by contracted loans that are secured by mortgages over a wide spread of senior living facilities stretching
from Keri Keri in the north to Wanaka in the south.
The Directors have confirmed the December Income distribution at 6%pa pre tax and are monitoring deposit rates closely. If appropriate we will increase future distribution rates to ensure Senior Trust maintains the long history of attractive returns.
