Nordic Credit Rating (NCR) covers a wide range of Swedish real estate companies that focus on a variety of property types. Today, the agency outlined its view of the relative strengths and weaknesses of the business and financial risk profiles of the community service property managers that it rates.
"We see the Swedish community service property sub-sector as having real estate exposures that are among the strongest in the wider Nordic real estate industry, which is reflected in the companies’ strong business risk scores," said NCR credit analyst Gustav Nilsson. "The main differences between the issuers we rate relate to their financial risk tolerance and available financing options."
NCR believes that community service property managers with a focus on public-sector tenants are unlikely to face significant operational headwinds due to long contracts with highly creditworthy key tenants and favourable trends that support demand. These defensive characteristics solidly position issuers in the sub-sector to deal with weaker economic conditions better than issuers in other property-related sub-sectors and so contain risk to financial risk management.
