Alignvest Student Housing – June 30, 2020 – Management Report

by on August 18, 2020 with No Comments

We are pleased to send you the June 30, 2020 Management Report of Alignvest Student Housing Real Estate Investment Trust (“ASH REIT”).

Throughout Q2 2020, the uncertainty with respect to COVID-19 has subsided with universities announcing their plans for the Fall 2020 term and our properties continuing to perform strongly. Our revenue collection stands at approximately 95% and our pre-leasing is approaching 90%. With this stability in place, we have shifted our focus on acquisition opportunities.

We recently announced the acquisition of our first property in Western Canada, 1Ten on Whyte in Edmonton, which transforms us into a truly national player in the institutional-grade, purpose-built student accommodation space. We have also re-engaged on several additional attractive acquisition opportunities worth upwards of $500 million.

Passive Income Rules

by on June 10, 2020 with No Comments

Introduction

In July 2017, Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced potential options for changing the taxation of investment income earned by private corporations. The proposed changes were strongly opposed by many stakeholders and, in October 2017, Minister Morneau announced that changes would be made to the proposed new rules and that draft legislation would be released as part of Budget 2018. The resulting highly anticipated Budget was tabled by Minister Morneau on February 27, 2018. While Budget 2018 has scaled back many of the proposed measures from the July 2017 Consultation Paper, it has moved forward with various amendments to the Income Tax Act1 that will affect small business corporations in Canada. The amendments with respect to passive income earned by a private corporation will still have an adverse effect on small business owners and may affect the way small business owners choose to invest their retained earnings. In particular, the effect of the changes on the small business deduction (“SBD”) will likely leave small business owners seeking tax-efficient options for the investment of corporate retained earnings that will reduce the impact of these changes.

Bill C-74, which contains the legislative provisions to implement the new passive income rules, received Royal Assent
on June 21, 2018

Alignvest Student Housing – Q1 2020 Management Report

by on May 20, 2020 with No Comments

We are pleased to highlight the March 31, 2020 Management Report from Alignvest Student Housing Real Estate Investment Trust (“ASH REIT”).

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. In response, we immediately paused on the multiple acquisitions we were working on and shifted our focus to mitigate the impact of the pandemic to our employees and tenants, and to ASH REIT’s broader business. We are pleased to report that we are on track to collect approximately 95% of April rents, and expect similar outcomes over the summer months.

Recently, the Canadian universities began announcing their plans for September 2020; we have provided an update on what we know and are shifting our operating focus to respond to an expected primarily online environment for the Fall term.

Amidst this uncertainty, we are starting to see some attractive opportunities emerge. With operations largely stabilized, we expect to resume our focus on completing accretive transactions over the coming months and we believe that there will be an opportunity to transact at attractive valuations.

Below is the link to our Management Report. In addition, we will be hosting a conference call to discuss our performance and outlook on Thursday, May 28, 2020 at 2:00 PM EDT – please register for the call using the link below.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Stay safe and take care
