OVERVIEW
Established in 1989, Alony Hetz Properties & Investments Ltd. (TASE: ALHE) is one of Israel’s largest holding real-estate investment companies. The Company focuses on income-generating commercial real estate in Israel and overseas, primarily long-term leasing to quality tenants. The Company has a reputation for its highly efficient management practices, and for its outstanding record of investments. Alony Hetz has strong and stable financial resources, and is rated AA- by Ma’alot (the principle Israeli rating agency of S&P) and Aa3 by Midroog (the principle Israeli rating agency of Moody’s).
Alony-Hetz enjoys exceptionally strong relations with Israel’s financial community. This is an outgrowth of the Company’s strong growth year after year, and its high degree of transparency towards investors and capital markets. One of Alony-Hetz’s strengths lies in creating sophisticated financing structures, which may incorporate straight and convertible bonds, options and other instruments. Alony Hetz has a track record of creating shareholder value far above the expectations of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Alony Hetz has a long-standing policy of distributing dividends on a quarterly basis.
In 2005, Alony-Hetz concluded 11 years of investment activities in the UK, primarily relating to income-generating real-estate. The net cash surplus from this transaction over the years was ₤94 million. Poised to leverage the expertise gained from its UK activities, the company has made a strategic decision to invest in Israeli & Swiss income-generating real estate companies.
Investment Strategy
Alony Hetz’s strategy is to manage large and diversified revenue-generating property portfolio, maintaining a balance between high-return investments in developing areas and conservative investments in mature markets. Leveraging expertise, financial resources and access to deal flow, the company identifies highly profitable properties, leasing them in long term contracts to quality tenants.
Alony Hetz was one of the first Israeli companies to make major real estate investments outside of Israel. Alony Hetz has a policy of investing approximately 30% of its shareholders equity in Israeli properties, while the remaining shareholders equity of 70% is planned to be invested in income-generating real estate companies mainly in Western countries. The company actively seeks to continue expanding the Amot Investments Ltd. (TASE: AMOT) portfolio in Israel, examining the possibility of setting up a REIT Fund in Israel.
Value of Portfolio Investments in NIS Billion as of November 2007
