The underlying business remained solid and a number of strategic initiatives were successfully implemented. These initiatives were aimed at increasing the Group’s return on equity, long-term earnings growth and improving the quality of the portfolio. We are now well placed to make the most of new opportunities. In the years since the global financial crisis there has been a stabilisation of international markets and in many regions a return to growth. In its 51 year-history Westfield has seen many economic cycles and constantly draws on this experience to help the Group make the necessary adjustments to adapt to changes in the retail landscape. In recent years the Group has placed a greater emphasis on investment in higher quality assets as it refines its portfolio to meet the needs of the contemporary shopper. There are now flagship centres in some of the world’s leading cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, Melbourne and Sydney. Westfield is responding to the continuous change in its marketplace in a number of ways – by creating these new and exciting shopping centres that attract the world’s leading brands and feature the best in design and customer services, through to the use of the internet and digital technology to promote and offer retailers and consumers new opportunities to visit and shop at Westfield. Keeping pace with these developments in the real and virtual worlds will remain a priority.

Our experience through years of stability and volatility alike has demonstrated the importance of a high quality portfolio and the Group has continually managed its investments to maintain that quality, while maximising its capital position through the most efficient ownership structures. In recent times we have increased the number of joint venture partnerships across the portfolio with view to improving return on equity. The 2011 results saw the Group achieve a net profit of $1.53 billion, up 37.6% on the 2010 result. Funds from Operations (FFO) was $1.49 billion representing 64.8 cents per security. This result, which was at the upper end of the forecast range, was pleasing as we absorbed the Australian dollar’s significant appreciation of 12% against the US dollar and 8% against the UK pound over the year. Distribution for the 12 months was $1.11 billion or 48.4 cents per security in line with forecast. The result was driven by net property income increasing 7% for the year, a 100% increase in the Group’s management income and a 92% increase in project income. Return on contributed equity increased to 11.4% for the year. 2011 was a significant year for the Group as we continued to implement the strategy of increasing return on equity through a more capital efficient business. Following the establishment of Westfield Retail Trust (WRT) in December 2010, which created a joint venture partnership over the Australian/New Zealand portfolio, the Group completed further major joint venture partnerships including the £1.75 billion Westfield Stratford City in London with APG (Netherlands-based manager of multiple pension funds including the world’s third largest pension fund) and the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB – Canada’s largest single-purpose investment fund.) More recently, we announced US$4.8 billion joint venture over 12 assets in the United States with CPPIB. The joint ventures result in increasing returns for the Group.

  • Travel Tips United Kingdom
    Travel Tips United Kingdom City Guide London London is the largest city in the United Kingdom and a leader in global finance, fashion, commerce and education. It has a population of 8.17 million people and is located in south-eastern part of Great Britain and lies along the banks of the River Thames. London dates back 2 millennia to Roman times when it was a northern outpost of the Roman Empire. Airports London has two major international airports, and the city is easily reached from both of them. Heathrow (LHR) Heathrow located 15 miles west of London and there are a wide variety of transportation options to bring you to the city center. The Underground is the cheapest option with a one way ticket costing at most £6 (US$9.5). It takes close to an hour to reach most destinations within central London. The Heathrow Express train is the fastest option and will bring you to Paddington station in between 15 and 20 min. It costs £34 (US$53) for a return ticket. If your destination is not in the Paddington area, the Underground may end up taking less time overall. Various bus companies operate to and from London, and prices usually average about £12 (US$19) for a return ticket. There are several coaches that operate to outlying areas such as Oxford if London is not your final destination. There is a taxi queue in front of the arrivals gate, and private “Mini-Cabs” can be ordered ahead of time. It usually costs between £50-100 (US$75-$155).

  • 2019 Insurance Fact Book
    2019 Insurance Fact Book TO THE READER Imagine a world without insurance. Some might say, “So what?” or “Yes to that!” when reading the sentence above. And that’s understandable, given that often the best experience one can have with insurance is not to receive the benefits of the product at all, after a disaster or other loss. And others—who already have some understanding or even appreciation for insurance—might say it provides protection against financial aspects of a premature death, injury, loss of property, loss of earning power, legal liability or other unexpected expenses. All that is true. We are the financial first responders. But there is so much more. Insurance drives economic growth. It provides stability against risks. It encourages resilience. Recent disasters have demonstrated the vital role the industry plays in recovery—and that without insurance, the impact on individuals, businesses and communities can be devastating. As insurers, we know that even with all that we protect now, the coverage gap is still too big. We want to close that gap. That desire is reflected in changes to this year’s Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.)Insurance Fact Book. We have added new information on coastal storm surge risk and hail as well as reinsurance and the growing problem of marijuana and impaired driving. We have updated the section on litigiousness to include tort costs and compensation by state, and assignment of benefits litigation, a growing problem in Florida.
