Trust details

Aberdeen Standard European Logistics Income PLC

Registered Office:
1 George Street
Edinburgh
EH2 2LL

The Company was incorporated in England and Wales on 25 October 2017 with registered number 11032222

Launch Date: 15 December 2017

The company seeks to tap into the rapid growth of e-commerce across Europe by investing in European logistic properties such as large ‘big box’ ultra-modern warehouses and local ‘last mile’ distribution centres. Occupier demand is strengthening and, typically, these properties benefit from long-term continuous leases which are annually inflation linked, thereby providing solid rental income alongside the potential for capital growth.
