Beware the ‘Age Quake’

Beware the ‘Age Quake’ The fundamental shift of income and wealth by age group has considerable implications for retailing and retail real estate
The young, relatively, have less to spend

Older demographics have become wealthier since the GFC

Age Quake – some questions
• What age group is most tech literate / adopts most e-commerce
• What is the impact of
• lower home ownership rates? Or indeed high ownership rates amongst mature adults?
• pensions auto-enrolment? Or indeed DB pension schemes?
• flexible labour market?
• university fees / student loans? Or indeed healthcare provisions?
• Is your retail designed to be inclusive to everyone? And if it is will even that be sufficient?
Retailers and landlords will need to
embrace all potential consumers

Mind the (yield) gap!

Wider yield gap compelling on the face of it for the relative investor; BUT weaker rental growth means more yield required

Shorter leases, more breaks, poorer outcomes at lease events …income streams are more at risk and at risk more often. Retail fares better than offices and industrial but has still weakened

Mind the (yield) gap – some thoughts
• With
• Shorter leases
• Greater likelihood of tenants leaving at lease expiry
• Lower long term rental growth
• Higher likelihood of (and higher absolute) capital expenditure
• In investment language we require additional compensation for the risk, a higher ‘risk premium’
• The importance of strong and dedicated asset management rises, own quality!
Retail isn’t necessarily less appealing, but much of
it really is and ‘yield gaps’ can be misleading

The growth of non-store trade is not a question of ‘life
or death’, rather an erosion of store profitability

• Online retailers opening physical stores - a White Knight or Trojan Horse?
Amazon Books, Seattle (March 2016) Amazon Go, Seattle (December 2016) Wholefoods Market (June 2017)
• Retail is naturally innovative – but at what cost to the landlord?
– Eg Street Food: Can retail owners embrace and capitalise on the innovations?
No longer ‘the Mall the merrier’ Innovations come at a cost
Q: Do such innovations provide improvement?
A: Yes (retailers and consumers?) and No (landlords?)

Conclusions
• Aberdeen Standard Investments
• Despite considerable changing dynamics retail will remain a key component across our portfolios
• Beware the ‘Age Quake’
• We simply must not avoid the discussion around wealth, demographics and spending patterns
• What we have grown up believing is subject to significant change – Be inclusive
• Mind the (Yield) Gap
• Investment risks are higher, the work required to maintain assets higher and it will cost more
• Focus on assets with long term quality and have strong asset management capability
• No longer the Mall* the merrier?
• Retailers will be forced to consolidate / rationalise
• Innovations are a clear benefit to retailers and consumers, and landlords have to embrace change
