About BWP Trust.


Established and listed on the ASX in 1998, BWP Trust is a real estate investment trust investing in and managing commercial properties throughout Australia. The majority of the Trust's properties are large format retailing properties, in particular, Bunnings Warehouses, leased to Bunnings Group Limited. Bunnings is the leading retailer of home improvement and outdoor living products in Australia and New Zealand, and a major supplier to project builders, commercial trades people, and the housing industry. Full details on the Trust's property portfolio can be found in the Our Properties section of this website. The Trust is managed by an external responsible entity, BWP Management Limited which is appointed under the Trust's constitution and operates under an Australian Financial Services Licence. The responsible entity is committed to managing the Trust solely and is paid an annual fee based on the gross assets of the Trust.

Price Performance

Growth Potential

  • Trades at a slight premium to NTA.
  • Stable and sustainable distribution yield.
  • Strong and experienced management team.
  • WES stake in BWP (22.29%) provides security against risk of non-renewal of leases by Bunnings.
  • High quality property portfolio with long weighted average lease expiry, strong lease covenants, and high occupancy.
  • Potential low interest rate cycle is encouraging for the housing industry and hardware sales however any sudden increase in interest rates provides risk to both revenue and debt financing costs.
  • Solid balance sheet with low gearing levels.
  • Risk of poor execution in redevelopment of assets vacated by Bunnings to other uses.

Key Risks


  • Any slowdown in demand and net absorption for hardware space.
  • Persistent lower inflation (and deflation) affecting retailers.
  • Economic conditions affect property fundamentals such as values (cap rates and rental growth), vacancies, retail activity (and hence demand for space at big-box retail sites).
  • Risk of non-renewal of leases by Bunnings Group.
