Fund overview
The aim of the Property Income Fund is to provide investors with returns derived principally from rental income with the potential for enhanced capital return.
The Fund has invested in smaller, higher yielding properties with the objective of delivering above average rental income. Portfolio risk is reduced through investing across three property sectors (commercial, retail and industrial), a large number of properties geographically spread, and a wide range of tenants and lease terms.
During the investment period, the strategic investment bias was to invest in assets between $10 million to $50 million per asset and would be bought and sold during the life of the Fund to take advantage of market opportunities and maximise investment performance.
The Fund is an unlisted wholesale trust which is closed to investors. The Fund has now reached maturity and is in the process of being wound up.
