PSF still highly recommended

 

The Cromwell Phoenix Property Securities Fund (PSF) has retained its ‘Highly Recommended’ rating from leading Australian investment research house, Zenith Investment Partners.

This achievement recognises the extensive experience and investment skills of the combined Cromwell Funds Management team alongside Stuart Cartledge of Phoenix Portfolios, the Fund’s investment manager.

The Cromwell Phoenix Property Securities Fund, with the expertise of Phoenix Portfolios, has earned multiple awards for its performance as one of the top property securities funds in Australia, including the Zenith Investment Partners’ Australian Real Estate Investment Trust Award 2022 for excellence in funds management.

The Fund offers investors exposure to a diverse portfolio of property securities that possess an understandable business model, good governance and are trading below Phoenix’s assessment of intrinsic value.

Cromwell celebrates NAIDOC Week

 

Again, this year, Cromwell joined with people across the country to celebrate National NAIDOC Week, from 7-14 July.

NAIDOC Week is a time to recognise and celebrate the history, culture, and achievements of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This year’s theme – Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud – called for a reclamation of narratives, an amplification of voices, and an unwavering commitment to justice and equality.

All Australians were invited to listen, learn, and engage in meaningful dialogue; to foster a society where the wisdom and contributions of Indigenous peoples are fully valued and respected.

To mark the occasion, Cromwell engaged Melbourne-based, Indigenous-owned business Kinya Lerrk to design a vibrant lift installation for some of our buildings nation-wide. Visual artists Emma Bamblett and Megan Van Den Berg created a piece called NAIDOC: A celebration of Aboriginal Culture, which represents the journey of firesticks and how they represent the shared learning and strengths of Indigenous Australian communities.

As part of our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion – including subjects that uniquely affect Indigenous Australians – Cromwell will continue to collaborate with key voices on these topics, both within and outside our organisation.

Cromwell remains committed in our continued support of Indigenous-owned businesses, as well as the creation of a sustainable Indigenous business sector, as we continue our journey towards the development of our first Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan.

Cromwell employees named in ‘500 Women in Property’ initiative

 

Cromwell is pleased to announce that our Client Services Officer, Audrey Lovi, and Senior Property Manager, Karla Bowdler, have both been named in the Property Council of Australia’s ‘500 Women in Property’ initiative for 2025.

Now in its ninth year, this PCA programme aims to accelerate more women into leadership positions in the property industry, through sponsorship of high-potential talent.

The programme involves a personal commitment from sponsors to identify and champion women in their organisation or network who would benefit from the exposure and professional development opportunities.

This year, Ms Bowdler will be sponsored by our Head of Treasury, Stephanie Finemore, and Ms Lovi will be sponsored by our Operations Manager – Retail Funds Management, Marita Sweeney.

Both Cromwell representatives will be joining the more than 3,600 women that have participated since the programme’s inception in 2016.
