1 Investor Requirement
At Riverside Capital, we strive to identify our investors exact requirements from
their property investments and then meet them. We carefully determine investor
wants and needs in line with the following criteria;

Deal size
Capital/income preference
Investment type
Sector
Investment horizon
Target return
Debt requirement
Tax advice and proposed structure

2 Investment Strategy
Once investor requirements have been established, our knowledgeable team
advises as to exactly which types of property investments will suit, and devises an
investment strategy to enable the investor to achieve their goals.

Sector allocation
Geographical application
Determine risk and return objectives

3 Due Diligence
With the strategy set, we identify specific investments to meet investor goals, and
begin an initial due diligence process on each target asset to ensure that the
investment is 100% suitable. Opportunities are sourced via our extensive network
of market contacts, and due diligence performed by our in house team.

5 Proactive Asset Management


Subsequent to purchase, we drive performance of the asset via the
implementation of the pre agreed business plan. Depending upon the strategy and
objectives, this can be over the short, medium, or long term. This is determined by
investor preference to either hold long term, or sell on completion of the business
plan.

Monitor tenants

Letting
Lease re-structuring

6 Strategic Exit
We recognise the various needs and requirements of investors, and our
positioning within the market place enables us to provide consistent advice as to
optimum timing for exit, and the likely values that can be achieved. When the time
is right, we will oversee the disposal process.
