Key Features
About the FundThe Fund is a 'hybrid' property fund that invests across a range of commercial property assets, including direct property, unlisted property trusts, and listed Australian Real Estate Investment Trusts (A-REITs). The Fund is focused on delivering sustainable, consistent income to investors and potential capital growth over the medium to long term. By investing in a range of different property assets and cash, the Fund aims to maintain a level of liquidity that generally allows investors to withdraw when they choose. Investment strategyThe direct property portfolio is diversified by sector, tenant profile and geographic location. The Fund aims to purchase assets that, while having an increased risk profile, are typically able to generate a higher level of rental income than large commercial property assets. Investment in unlisted property funds operated by specialist property fund managers provides exposure to a broad range of larger and higher valued real estate assets, and enhances the portfolio diversification. The Fund's A-REIT exposure is managed by Renaissance Property Securities Pty Ltd ABN 19 104 218 484. Exposure to A-REITs provides a different return profile to direct assets and unlisted property funds, enables greater diversification and enhances the Fund's liquidity. Investment processThe Fund uses a top-down investment approach, which incorporates an analysis of the broad economic trends impacting the various property markets in which the Fund operates. A bottom-up view is used to identify undervalued investment opportunities across various property sectors, investment structures and geographic locations. Using this approach, and separate yield analysis, a preferred allocation between direct property, unlisted property funds and the listed Australian REIT sector is achieved. The Fund uses the above information in assessing and investing in direct property assets and unlisted property funds.

Mandate
How we invest your moneyInvestment philosophyIt's AUPL's philosophy that the market price for properties doesn't always reflect the underlying value. This may present an opportunity to generate value by buying and selling properties at the most optimal time. Value can also be achieved and investment risk mitigated by skilful property and tenant management carried out by Australian Unity. Properties purchased are carefully selected after assessing the value, considering inherent risks, and the ability to mitigate those risks. The selection process also takes into account:
