Summary only. The Information Memorandum dated 14 May 2026 and the Fund's Constitution prevail over this page in all respects.
The strategy
Diversified first-mortgage exposure, professionally curated
The Fund invests in externally managed wholesale Portfolio Funds whose underlying loans are secured by first-ranking registered mortgages over real property in Australia and New Zealand.
First-ranking security
Portfolio Funds may only make underlying loans secured by first-ranking registered mortgages over real property; loans are made to corporate borrowers only.
Binding investment guidelines
A maximum portfolio LVR of 70%, sector exposure managed within a 15–30% range, and single borrower limits (5% target, 10% hard) are binding on the Manager and Investment Committee.
Multi-manager diversification
Exposure is spread across external managers, sectors and geographies, with each Portfolio Fund approved by the Investment Committee after due diligence.
Floating-rate objective
The target return is set as a margin over the RBA Cash Rate, so the income objective adjusts with the rate cycle rather than being fixed.
Fees
A simple, aligned fee structure
Management fee
0.75% per annum of the NAV of the Fund, calculated and paid monthly in arrears.
Performance fee
20% of the total return above the target return, calculated monthly and subject to a high-water mark — underperformance must be made up before any further performance fee is payable.
No entry or exit fees
There are no entry or exit fees, and no buy/sell spread applies as at the date of the IM.
Trustee & administration costs
The Manager has agreed to pay the Trustee's, Administrator and Registrar's and Custodian's fees from its own resources.
Portfolio Funds charge their own fees, which affect overall net returns. See section 7 of the Information Memorandum for the complete fees and costs disclosure, including worked performance-fee examples.

Understand the risks
This is a wholesale investment — read the IM in full
An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit. The Trustee is not authorised under the Banking Act 1959 (Cth) and is not supervised by APRA, and investments in the Fund are not covered by depositor protection provisions. Returns and the return of capital are not guaranteed. The Fund is an illiquid, medium-to-long-term investment: a 12-month minimum term applies, withdrawals are quarterly thereafter subject to a 5% of NAV cap and available liquidity, and the Trustee may suspend withdrawals. Section 8 of the Information Memorandum sets out the risks in full, including fund-of-funds structure, credit, security, valuation and liquidity risks. You should consult your professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for Units.
