Market Knowledge
Kinsmen has a deep understanding of the markets in which it operates as a result of formal research and many "on the ground" experiences and relationships. This allows us to access high quality projects, often through off market transactions, and to implement marketing strategies that are realistic, achievable and ultimately successful.
Accountability
Kinsmen undertakes the accounting and reporting for its projects; operating an open book approach for all its ventures. The high quality of its reporting systems are acknowledged by regulators, financiers and joint venture partners alike.
Partnership
The property industry often uses joint ventures to undertake large or complex projects. These types of partnerships require experience and specialist management skills to ensure the joint venture operates effectively, and they must rest on a corporate culture that accepts genuine partnership input from each participant. Kinsmen fosters the skills and culture needed to be a successful joint venture partner for property projects. This spirit of partnership extends to our investors. Kinsmen structures its fund management fees so that the interests of investor and manager are aligned.
Humility
While Kinsmen has an enviable track record and much to be proud of, we are aware that the downfall of many previously successful property and financial services companies followed their belief in their own infallibility. Kinsmen will always strive to learn from sources inside and outside our company and to assess decisions objectively. We believe scepticism and strong internal debate is the best defence against complacency and hubris.
Professionalism
Kinsmen is dedicated to maintaining its position as a market leader in applying best practice management to our business. We actively seek out the leading research and study overseas developments. We also have instigated a number of market leading tools and methodologies for risk identification, measurement and management that have subsequently been adopted by our competitors.
