Business Description: Ingenia Communities Group (INA, formerly ING Real Estate Community Living Group) is an ASX listed real estate investment trust which owns, manages and develops a portfolio of senior housing communities in Australia.
Strategy Analysis: ILF strategy is to further diversify its asset base through international and domestic acquisitions. The US seniors housing industry remain a significant part of the fund´s offshore strategy due to the size of its population and quality assets. The key objectives for 2009 are to increase occupancy of the Australian rental portfolio, improve operating margins of the US Students portfolio and maintain the performance of both the US Seniors portfolio and the Australian retirement village development activities. While market conditions make the disposal of properties difficult, ILF will look to achieve selective sales in order to reduce the gearing.
