It also executes solid financial operations aware of the need for liquidity on hand by establishing a commitment line, for example.

Flexible cash management

In principle, JLF does not pay out distributions in excess of earnings (distributions equivalent to depreciation paid out as a reversal of capital), a practice employed by many logistics REITs. That puts JLF in a position to make flexible use of much of the funds equivalent to depreciation.
JLF studies making flexible use of cash on hand, for example, through the stabilization and growth of DPU and cash flows, as well as unitholder returns.
