AEW UK REIT PLC - London-based real estate investment trust - Net asset value at September 30 was 106.00 pence per share, down 1.0% from 107.03p at June 30. Delivers positive 0.91% total return for the quarter ended September 30, down from positive 3.36% for the previous quarter. Declares interim dividend of 2.00p per share for the quarter, in line with its target of 8.00p per share total for the current year.

Elkin continues: ‘Despite the short-term negative impact on NAV of acquisition costs, these purchases are expected to deliver NAV growth over the medium term.’
