CITM is not majority controlled by any property company that develops or owns real estate for commercial sale
or investment purposes. CITM believes this independence provides the following benefits:
•
As an independent manager, CITM has good access to property owners as there are no potential conflict of
interest issues. Property owners may be more receptive when dealing with a manager who is not a competing
developer or owning other businesses that share the same industry space
•
As there is no controlling parent entity dictating decision making, CITM is able to make timely decisions and
hence respond to opportunities
•
The Manager’s interests are wholly aligned with CIT’s Unitholders, via a management fee structure which rewards
Unitholder returns rather than aggregate growth
