Business Description: Abacus Property Group (ABP) is a stapled security, which combines three companies, Abacus Group Holdings Limited, Abacus Group Projects Limited and Abacus Storage Operations Limited, and three trusts, Abacus Trust, Abacus Income Trust and Abacus Storage Property Trust. The business is principally a property investment and funds management group with interests in property finance, joint ventures and development.
Strategy Analysis: ABP is a fundamental property investor, acquiring properties on balance sheet for active asset management and later recycling into funds management vehicles providing both high margin transaction fees and replacement annuity style fee revenue. ABP has a strategy to target balance sheet exposure of 70% direct property assets and 30% from funds management and property ventures. The Groups strategy implementation is flexible to the point of being opportunistically responsive but remains limited by capital availability given lower quality property assets.

Most of those who take a political approach to the budget assume that if it's in deficit, the way you get it back to surplus is to cut government spending or, if you're a really bad person, increase taxes. They forget it's the budget itself that's supposed to do the heavy lifting.
