HISTORY OF OUR COMPANY
HISTORY OF
OUR COMPANY
Cubisol is a well-established unlisted property fund which is focused on producing reliable and superior long-term growth for shareholders by investing in quality retail centres.

Cubisol has established a highly successful ten-year track record enabling the team to expertly manage existing assets as well as selecting rewarding new investment opportunities. We have also developed  expertise in managing township centres near major metropolitan areas which allows the fund to take advantage of the enormous potential in these underserviced areas.

The fund’s mandate is to invest in strategically located community and convenience shopping centres as their associated income streams offer stability and are resilient in times of economic downturns. Each asset is critically evaluated to ensure that it enjoys a superior location and appeals to its catchment area. The critical factors are evaluated in ensuring that the asset delivers high quality and stable growth.

The properties have been held by the fund for a considerable time and as such the team has an intimate knowledge and understanding of the properties. This enables the fund to extract optimal performance from the assets while limiting downside risk.

The Cubisol team is highly experienced, individually as well as a collective organisation and this has allowed for a seamless and strategically focused asset management approach to retail optimisation. This is demonstrated by Cubisol's consistent outperformance in relation to the MSCI benchmark. Over a longer three- and seven-year period, Cubisol has ranked as the number one property fund in the MSCI sample.
