Overview • Answer the question, “Why real estate?” • How real estate fits into CIGNA’s investment strategies and portfolio • Where do we go from here?
Why Real Estate? PPR’s August ’08 Publication: Why Real Estate Now? Long-term considerations • Market neutral • Return enhancement • Risk reduction • Cash flow • Hedging
Investment Strategy (Fixed Income) • Maximize after tax returns • Produce high/stable investment income • Minimize impact of credit losses • Maintain appropriate asset liability mgmt. • Pursue primarily through “buy and hold” • Bottom-up, relative value driven investment selection • Portfolio diversification • Emphasize private asset classes
Risky Asset Investment Strategy • Maximize economic returns • Optimize risk-adjusted net investment income • Leverage CIM’s underwriting and sourcing capabilities in core asset classes
Real Estate in CIGNA’s Portfolio? • Employee Benefits Portfolio • $15.6 billion • Predominantly a fixed income investor • plus real estate mezzanine and equity and private mezzanine and private equity • Commercial mortgages • $3.5 billion or 22% of assets - at target • Equity real estate • $.4 billion or 2.5% of assets - at only 1/3 of target
Where Do We Go From Here? • Commercial real estate is a lagging indicator • Prices going lower through ’09, volume off 75-80% YTD! • Searching for a bottom. Hit it in 2010? • Down 20-30% from peak • What’s attractive now?
