== Summary ==


* Sirius Real Estate, the FTSE 250 real estate investment company, has made eight material announcements since our last report on the company (on 12th April 2022).
* Sirius Real Estate has made eight key announcements since our last report (on ccc).
*For us, the key highlight of the announcements is that the company has performed exceptionally well in the six months ended 30th September 2022, growing funds from operations (FFO) by 47% over the period.  
*  
*Accordingly, we have updated our forecasts, and estimate that the expected return of an investment in Sirius Real Estate over the next 12-months is 57%. In other words, an £100,000 investment in the company is expected to return £157,000 in 12-months time.
*We note that the degree of risk associated with an investment in Sirius is relatively 'low', with the company's shares having an adjusted beta<ref name=":0">Research shows that an investment has two main types of risks: 1) non-systematic and 2) systematic. Systematic risk is the risk related to the overall market, and non-systematic risk is the risk that's specific to an individual investment. Evidence shows that taking on non-systematic risk is inefficient, and it's, therefore, best to eliminate it; and in most cases, elimination is fairy easy to do [by holding a diversified portfolio of investments (i.e. around 15 investments)]. Accordingly, when assessing the riskiness of an investment, it’s best to look at the systematic risk only (i.e. ignore the non-systematic risk). A key measure of systematic risk is beta, and a main way to determine the riskiness of an investment is to compare the beta of the investment with the beta of the market, which is 1. For example, Sirius's adjusted beta (5 years, monthly data) is 1.06, and is, accordingly, 6% above the market beta (of 1); assuming that a 'low' level of riskiness is 10% or less above the market beta, then the riskiness of investing in the company is considered to be relatively 'low' (1.6%<10%). For estimating an asset's beta, in terms of time period, and frequency of observations, the most common choice is five years of monthly data, yielding 60 observations. In terms of the benchmark, we suggest using the iShares MSCI World ETF. One study of U.S. stocks found support for five years of monthly data over alternatives. The beta value in a future period has been found to be on average closer to the mean value of 1.0, the beta of an average-systematic-risk security, than to the value of the raw beta. Because valuation is forward looking, it is logical to adjust the raw beta so it more accurately predicts a future beta.</ref> that is 1.6% above the market (1.016 vs. 1).
*All-in-all, assuming that a suitable return level in the next 12 months is 10% or more, then an investment in the company is considered to be a 'suitable' one.

== Risks ==
As with any investment, investing in Sirius carries a level of risk. Overall, based on the company's market beta (i.e. 1.016), the degree of risk associated with an investment in Sirius is relatively 'low'. Here, to estimate the adjusted beta<ref name=":0" />, we used the iShares MSCI World ETF to represent the market portfolio; and in terms of the time period and frequency of observations, we used five years of monthly data (i.e. 60 observations in total), which is supported by a study and is the most common choice.
For us, currently, the biggest risk to the valuation of the company relates to macro-economic factors, in particular unexpected and sudden changes in inflation and interest rates movements, ultimately resulting in a reduction in the affordability and, therefore, demand of the company's assets/properties. With that said, the company has a diverse tenant base, with its top 50 tenants generating 45% of annual income in Germany, and 26% of annual income generated by the top 100 tenants in the UK. Sirius also has no material dependencies on specific industries, and a track record of buying and building high-returning investment opportunities. 
== Valuation ==
Research suggests that in terms of estimating the expected return of an investment over a period of 12-months or less, the approach that is more accurate is the relative valuation approach, so that's the approach that we suggest using to determine the estimated value of the company.
==== What's the expected return of an investment in Sirius using the relative valuation approach? ====
Accordingly, we estimate that the expected return of an investment in Sirius Real Estate Limited over the next 12-months is 57%. In other words, an £100,000 investment in the company is expected to return £157,000 within 12-months from now. The assumptions used to estimate the return figure can be found in the table below.
Assuming that a suitable return level in the 12 months is 10% and Sirius Real Estate Limited achieves its expected return level (of 197%), then an investment in the company is considered to be a 'suitable' one.

|-
|Which type of multiple do you want to use?
|P/FFO
|The FFO does not account for depreciation in properties but rather adds back the depreciation value back to the net income. Furthmore, FFO deducts any gains or losses from the sale of assets, since including the transaction would result in discrepancies in the revenues reported in each period. Accordingly, we suggest valuing the company using the Price to Funds From Operations (P/FFO) ratio.
|-
|In regards to the P/FFO multiple, for the FFO figure, which year to you want to use?
