It also generates cost efficiencies and gives us the ability to find the ideal workspace solution for customers. Our objectives of leadership in office and being the funds management partner of choice are complementary. Our success in the office sector has enabled Dexus to attract investment partners not just in office, but in the industrial, retail and healthcare sectors, in turn providing the opportunity to deliver investment outperformance for those clients.

Quality real estate portfolio across key Australian cities Funds management business with access to diverse sources of capital Pipeline of development opportunities to create value over the long term High-performing, engaged and diverse workforce Customer-centric focus How our business creates value Our strategy is underpinned by our business activities of developing, managing and transacting properties. To generate superior risk-adjusted returns for investors it is necessary that for each asset we own or manage, we maximise cash flow and unlock value over the investment lifecycle. We do this through applying our transactional, asset and property management expertise to drive earnings and create value across three areas of focus: Property portfolio the largest driver of value underpinned by rental returns and capital values from the Dexus office and industrial portfolios Funds Management provides access to wholesale pools of capital and a steady income derived from management fees Trading profit generated from development activities on properties not held for the long-term Developing Unlocking value from existing and acquired assets These overarching activities drive earnings and create value across our key earnings drivers Property portfolio Funds management Trading Managing Utilising asset and property management expertise to maximise the AFFO yield of stabilised assets Transacting Acquiring and selling properties Long-term value creation To support long-term value creation, we consider corporate responsibility and sustainability an integral part of our business activities. Our approach supports our strategy through the overarching goal of delivering sustained value for all stakeholders. The outcomes we seek to achieve are as follows: Leading Cities Future Enabled Customers Strong Communities Thriving People Enriched Environment Playing a leading role in shaping Australia s cities for the future as desirable places to work, live and play Preparing our customers for the future through enabling enhanced productivity and supporting future growth Nurturing well-connected, prosperous and supported communities in and around our buildings Enhancing the wellbeing of our people and those in our properties Optimising the environmental performance and resilience of our buildings
Our journey of value creation It has been 10 years since we fully internalised our management structure and started on the journey towards becoming one of Australia s leading property groups, today known as Dexus. Since acquiring the remaining 50% interest in DB RREEF Holdings from Deutsche Bank in 2008, we have built on our strong foundations to grow our group portfolio from $15.3 billion to $28.9 billion. We continue to deliver superior riskadjusted returns to our investors through investment in a high-quality portfolio, predominantly comprising office buildings, and the management of a strong performing funds management business. Our focus on active portfolio management, underpinned by a prudent and disciplined financial management approach, remains unchanged. Our strategy was reviewed in 2012 to build on our strengths of office ownership and funds management, while enhancing our position in the Australian property market. We divested our exposure to offshore properties and reinvested our capital into high-quality assets located in Australia s major cities. At the same time, we focused on growing and diversifying our funds management business to include new partnerships with global investors in the office, industrial and healthcare sectors. Our approach to sustainability was enhanced to further align with our overarching goal of delivering sustained value and is fully integrated into our daily business operations. Our customer-centric approach uses the insights and understanding of our customers to provide market-leading solutions and services while further establishing our customer connection. Today we have a diverse and inclusive corporate culture that reflects our customer base and delivers high performance outcomes.
