Here are some key ratios to observe before investing in a real estate funds :

1.NAV(Net Asset Value) per unit is a measure of the market value of an investment fund’s assets, minus its liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding units. It represents the value of each unit in the fund and is used to determine the fund’s price per share. It is an important metric for real estate funds as it provides a snapshot of the fund’s overall value and helps investors to assess the fund’s performance.

2.Rental yield is a measure of the income generated by a property or real estate investment compared to its cost or market value. Gross rental yield is the annual rental income of a property expressed as a percentage of its purchase price or market value. Net rental yield takes into account the property’s operating expenses, such as property management fees, insurance, and property taxes, and calculates the net income generated as a percentage of the property’s value. For real estate funds, the gross and net rental yields provide important information about the fund’s potential income generation and investment performance.

3.Occupancy rate is the percentage of a real estate property or portfolio’s units or square footage that are currently leased or occupied by tenants. It’s a key metric for real estate investors and fund managers as it indicates the demand for the property and the ability to generate rental income. A high occupancy rate generally indicates a healthy and profitable property, while a low occupancy rate can indicate weak demand or poor property management. The occupancy rate is an important factor to consider when evaluating the performance of a real estate fund.

4.Capitalization rate (Cap rate) is a real estate valuation metric that measures the expected rate of return on a property or real estate investment based on the income it generates. It’s calculated as the net operating income (NOI) divided by the property’s market value or purchase price. The cap rate is often used by real estate investors and fund managers to compare the expected returns of different properties and to make investment decisions. In a real estate fund, the cap rate can provide valuable information about the fund’s potential returns and risk, and help investors to assess its overall performance.

5.Diversification in real estate investment involves spreading money across different types of properties, markets, and investment strategies to reduce risk and increase return potential. It can include investments in residential, commercial, industrial, and/or mixed-use properties, as well as investments in different geographic regions, property types, and stages of the investment cycle

6.Distributions yield refers to the rate of return generated by an investment or portfolio of investments, typically expressed as an annual percentage rate. It measures the income generated from dividends, interest, or other sources, and is used to evaluate the performance of an investment over time.
