What Portfolio does

Portfolio operates the Portfolio REIT Plc, a UK Real Estate Investment Trust that owns and rents out residential properties concentrated in the North West of England, Yorkshire, and the Midlands. The REIT was incorporated on 15 December 2020 (originally as The Property Hub REIT Plc, renamed 30 September 2022) and is listed on The International Stock Exchange (TISE). Investors access the vehicle exclusively through Portfolio's proprietary self-serve app and website (portfolio.co.uk), meeting one of four FCA investor categorisations (Restricted Retail, High Net Worth, Sophisticated, or Professional) and undergoing KYC/AML before purchasing shares on monthly trading dates around the 22nd–26th. The platform is FCA-authorised via Gallium Fund Solutions Ltd (AIFM, FRN 487176), with Winterflood Securities acting as nominee and Barclays Bank holding client funds under CASS rules.

Revenue is generated entirely through rental income from the underlying property portfolio plus capital appreciation as property values move. The REIT distributes at least 90% of tax-exempt rental profits as Property Income Distributions (PIDs), with a target dividend of 3p per £1 invested annually (not guaranteed), a £30,000 minimum investment, a two-year minimum term, and a recommended five-year hold. The investor base spans four primary segments — High Net Worth, Sophisticated, Professional, and Restricted Retail — plus UK limited companies, with no institutional fund-platform distribution.

The company is currently progressing through a Managed Realisation Plan, an orderly wind-down in which redemptions (buy-backs) are paused through end-2025. Portfolio is part of Portfolio Group Holdings Limited alongside affiliated brand Property Hub and operating subsidiaries Portfolio Advisors Ltd (investment advice) and Portfolio Communications Ltd. The registered office is in Manchester, headcount is 11–50, and no revenue or NAV figures have been disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Rental Income from Property Portfolio: The Portfolio REIT generates revenue by owning and renting out residential properties across the UK (primarily North West England, Yorkshire, and the Midlands). Investors receive regular dividend payments derived from rental profits. The REIT distributes at least 90% of its tax-exempt property rental profits to shareholders as Property Income Distributions (PIDs). Non-PID distributions come from other activities such as development profits or capital gains.
2. Capital Appreciation of Property Holdings: The value of investor shares can increase as the underlying property portfolio appreciates in value. Share price is determined by the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the REIT, which is recalculated monthly. Properties are externally valued quarterly per RICS guidelines.
