Middlefield Wins Refinitiv Lipper Fund Award for a Second Year in a Row

TORONTO, Nov. 28, 2022 – Middlefield was recently recognized at the 2022 Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards Canada for its exceptional Fund performance. Middlefield Real Estate Dividend Fund Series F was awarded the Best fund over 5 years – Real Estate Equity, for the second year in a row.

Refinitiv is one the largest providers of financial data and infrastructure worldwide. Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards Canada are based entirely on an objective, quantitative criteria and have been a global industry benchmark for over 30 years in over 17 countries. The awards have recognized funds and fund management firms for their consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers.

“I would like to thank Refinitiv Lipper Awards Canada for recognizing the hard work and dedication our team has shown over the past several years,” says Dean Orrico, President and CEO of Middlefield. “Our active approach focuses on identifying the most attractive real estate subsectors and the highest quality real estate companies with significant and stable levels of cash flow. Despite high inflation and rising interest rates, our investment philosophy and discipline has resulted in superior risk-adjusted performance relative to our peers.”

Orrico manages the award-winning mutual fund alongside Portfolio Manager, Robert Moffat. Middlefield Real Estate Dividend Fund Series F currently generates a yield of 4.9% and has delivered a total return of 8.6% p.a. since inception in 20111. With the rise in interest rates nearing an end, Orrico and Moffat believe now is an opportune time for investors to consider adding publicly listed real estate exposure to their portfolio.

“Current REIT valuations are extremely attractive, providing a compelling entry point for the sector,” says Moffat. “Industrial and multi-family REITs have particularly strong fundamentals and should continue to deliver attractive rent growth next year.”

Middlefield’s real estate solutions offer investors an attractive mix of income and growth and provide access to well-diversified portfolios of high quality global real estate companies. The company’s real estate funds have consistently been recognized for generating strong risk-adjusted returns for Canadian investors.
