Rushinek explains: "We are finishing the third quarter with a significant increase in revenues and in net income. The main increase in the revenues is attributed to the success fees (promote) component, which expresses the Company's share as the General Partner (GP) in the funds' operations. We have updated a number of realizations of properties recently, with a high annual yield rate (IRR) of more than 25% at the level of the properties. At the beginning of the week, we provided an update regarding the establishment of new activity in the offices field in Great Britain, where we will be launching a 200 million Pound Sterling fund together with a local partner, with rich experience in the field. In the meanwhile, we are continuing with development of houses with attached land for rental (single family homes) as well as development in the hostelry field in which we identify considerable potential for creating value at present. We are managing the Company's activity and that of the funds whilst mapping and embedding environmental, social and corporate governance principles (ESG)."
"Electra Real Estate is one of the largest and the leading companies operating in the field of residential property for rental in the United States. The Company's properties portfolio, which is managed, is continuing to grow and numbers approximately 32 thousand rental apartments, with an estimated value of more than NIS 19.5 billion. According to the Company’s work plan, we intend to continue to establish continuation funds for all of the Company's present activity and also to identify real estate assets with significant potential for enhancement, which are managed by a local partner with rich experience. All of this is with the objective of continuing to increase the value for the shareholders."
