Braemar launched its first unregulated collective investment scheme in April 2003. Coronation Limited Partnership was set up to invest in residential property carrying capital allowances affording its investors a blend of exposure to the residential sector and tax relief. A second fund, The Coronation II Limited Partnership closed for new investment in December 2004 and a third fund, The Coronation III Limited Partnership, was launched in September 2005. Braemar's income streams can be broadly divided into four categories: 1. Fund Management. Braemar receives an annual management fee plus a carried interest or performance fee, which may be linked to an index. 2. Property Management. Once a fund is put in place, Braemar either manages it in-house or sources all property management functions, including overseeing development and project management, arranging finance and insurances, tenancy management and rent collection. Whilst project driven fees typically generate a high margin up front, the longer term management activity provides Braemar with a trail of recurring fee income. 3. Property Trading and Development. Braemar also trades reversionary residential property, acting as agent or principal and from time to time is involved in property development on its own account. 4. Corporate Finance. This division primarily acts as sponsor to our own in-house funds, and will in later months offer corporate services, fund design and fund promotion to external ventures. Following pension deregulation in April 2006 (A-Day), Braemar has created a range of collective property funds that are suitable for investment by individuals via their personal pension funds.
