Folkestone (ASX: FLK) had a very active 2014 and this was reflected in the share price increasing 16.1%. Funds under management grew to $850 million with the launch of a number of new unlisted real estate income and development funds and the continued growth it the ASX listed Folkestone Education Trust (ASX:FET), Australia’s largest owner of early learning centres.

Folkestone also undertook a $42 million placement and retail entitlement offer in November which was very well supported by a number of new institutional investors and Folkestone’s existing investors. As a result, Folkestone’s market capitalisation is now more than $150 million.

Looking forward, Folkestone with its strong balance sheet and access to third party capital, will continue to grow its suite of listed and unlisted real estate funds and seek value-add and opportunistic investments for its balance sheet activities.
