Schroder Reit secures its future

After years of deleveraging, the property investment trust has refinanced its remaining debt with Canada Life
March 20, 2013

Schroder Real Estate Investment Trust (SREI) has agreed a £130m debt package with insurer Canada Life that should improve its profitability and its dividend cover. It will repay its old securitised loan - which was due to mature in July 2014 - and use a new facility from mid-April. The interest rate will be set then, but, assuming no change in yields on UK government bonds, it should be about 5 per cent.
