Japan Retail Fund (8953 JP) plans to raise US$215m through a global follow on offering, in order to fund the purchase of additional properties.The deal scores a negative score on our framework largely owing to the lackluster&nbsp;momentum for the sector and market as a whole.However, we remain inclined to take the deal given: 1) the stock has corrected by 10% since the deal was announced (more than Topix or the reit index), &nbsp;and is likely pricing in the most of the negatives; 2)&nbsp;&nbsp;The stock has provided a positive return in the short-term in all its past nine deals; 3) Valuation appears inline with peers; and 4) Proceeds from the deal will be used to acquire seven more properties, however, accretion remains minimal according to the company's revised earnings.&nbsp;&nbsp;
