The Umega Staff Property Fund is an investment fund created for the Umega team. 20% of all Umega profits are ring-fenced and invested in rental property by our team which they own and manage. It’s a gift to our team for being the very best there is. Over the next decade we will build a property portfolio with our outstanding team, giving them huge amounts of experience of being landlords themselves and giving them a substantial financial gain. The staff property fund gives every member of our team a financial stake in the success of our business. This improves engagement in delivering outstanding customer service to our landlords and tenants and to continually look at how we can improve our business and our service. On top of that, our staff property fund is an effective development exercise, ensuring our team ‘think’ like landlords, with the whole team being involved in sourcing, buying, letting and managing the properties owned by the fund, they better understand the decisions our landlords face. The Umega staff property fund helps us attract, retain and develop the very best people.
