Mansford's value investment philosophy is based on the following, notably:

• Where extra value can be added by active and innovative management.
• Investments capable of producing high yield returns relative to the quality of the asset within a reasonable timeframe.
• Where the majority of the income is secure and long term or where there are a sufficient number of tenants to minimise risk based on a downside cash flow that enables interest payments to be met on debt obligations.
• Assets purchased at low capital value to market comparables whilst having significant land value, vacant possession value or alternative use value to purchase price.
• If the security of income test is not met, then where the asset is in a strong location and capable of re-letting from a competitive base cost.
• Portfolios or publicly listed companies with these characteristics and/or where a significant break-up premium exists.
• Joint ventures with Corporate operators in which both Mansford's and the Corporate's economic interests are aligned.
