HGBS11: Hedge Malls FII Overview

Launched in 2006, HGBS11 was one of Brazil’s first multi-asset shopping mall FIIs and helped establish the segment as a cornerstone of the country’s real estate market. It also holds international significance as Brazil’s first member of the US-based National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (Nareit), and is currently the only Brazilian REIT rated by S&P.

HGBS11 is one of the largest and most liquid retail-focused REITs in Brazil, with a market capitalization of R$2.5 billion and a 1.82% weighting in the IFIX index. With a 4.16% weighting, it is also a major component of the HERT11 ETF, an ETF managed by Hedge Investments, which also sponsors HGBS11.

Its scale, liquidity, and international outreach make it a key reference point for foreign investors exploring Brazilian REITs.

Sector Comparison & KPIs

HGBS11 is the third largest of 10 shopping mall FIIs listed on the IFIX.

The fund’s 12-month dividend yield of 9.97% is 92 bps below the shopping FII median (10.89%). But given its size and history, it’s better benchmarked against peers like XPML11 and VISC11.

Its price-to-book value of 0.90x is above the median of its IFIX peers (0.80x), but aligned with XPML11 (0.89x) and more than VISC11 (0.83x).

Aside from the COVID period, the fund has delivered consistent dividends since 2019, despite several follow-on offerings. However, dividends grew at a CAGR of 2.8% between 2019 and 2024, below inflation. The yield is currently boosted by non-recurring gains from asset sales.

Same-store sales growth in 2024 was 4.9%, roughly in line with its 4 largest peers at 5.6%. Year-end vacancy of 4.7% was aligned with industry norms, but higher than large shopping FIIs, which averaged 3.6%.

Since early 2024, vacancy rates, total sales, and NOI per square meter have all shown consistent improvement.
