Investment Strategy

The Fund has been constructed to provide a tax advantaged monthly distribution plus potential for capital growth2, by investing in a portfolio of listed and unlisted property investments. The Fund will initially hold units in the Cromwell Phoenix Property Securities Fund (“PSF”) and the Cromwell Direct Property Fund (“DPF”)3.

  • PSF provides the Fund with exposure to listed property securities that are predominantly Australian Real Estate Investment Trusts (“A-REITs”) listed on the ASX. Over time, the Fund may also invest in other property securities funds or hold listed property securities directly.

  • PSF is an award-winning Fund and is one of the top performing property securities funds in Australia.

  • DPF provides the Fund with exposure to property throughout Australia either directly or through investments in unlisted property trusts. The Fund invests in non-residential Australian property with a primary focus on high quality commercial, industrial and retail property leased to government and blue chip tenants on long leases.

  • The Fund may also hold up to 30% of assets in cash.
