- FNArena reported that Bell Potter sees the end of Reserve Bank of Australia tightening approaching and favors Australian listed property.
- The strategy case rests on narrower valuation discounts, distributions and rental growth as financing and construction costs constrain new supply.
Bell Potter has joined investors looking for the end of the Reserve Bank of Australia's tightening cycle, with HomeCo Daily Needs REIT among the listed property names highlighted in a November 12 FNArena analysis. The report said recent moves in HomeCo and Abacus Group showed that some market participants were already positioning for a change in the interest-rate outlook.
Property stocks await policy shift
FNArena said Bell Potter's strategy does not depend on immediate rate cuts. A pause, steadier bond yields and slower economic growth could still support returns from Australian listed property, according to the analysis.
The strategy identifies three potential return drivers: narrower valuation discounts, distributions and rental growth. Stabilizing yields could ease pressure on property valuations, while high construction and financing costs may restrict new supply and support rents for well-located existing assets.
Income remains central
Bell Potter's positioning favors listed property and fixed-rate bonds. FNArena reported that larger real estate investment trusts, excluding Goodman Group, offer average yields of about 5 percent, giving investors income while they wait for a possible recovery. The analysis said income combined with a modest valuation recovery could support double-digit returns over the next twelve months, but that outcome remains dependent on market conditions.
HomeCo's convenience property focus
HomeCo Daily Needs REIT is an Australian real estate investment trust managed by HMC Capital. It invests in convenience-based assets across neighbourhood retail, large-format retail, and health and services, with a portfolio designed around everyday needs.
Its focus differs from Goodman Group's logistics and industrial property exposure and from Abacus Group's broader property and funds-management activities. HomeCo is positioned as a specialist owner of convenience-oriented retail and service assets rather than as a diversified property platform.
