Key Features

About the Fund

The Fund, established in 1985, aims to provide investors with income and long term capital growth, through investment in an established and diversified portfolio of Australian office, retail and industrial properties.

The fund was acquired by Dexus in 2023.

Investment approach

The Fund primarily invests in direct property and may also invest in Australian listed property securities and cash to assist in managing the Fund's return profile and liquidity. The Fund targets assets which have high occupancy rates and stable income streams underpinned by leases to long term, secure commercial and government tenants.

Why direct commercial property?

Commercial property includes office towers, shopping centres and industrial facilities. It provides:

 

 

  • Regular income: The rental income generated by a good quality, commercial property portfolio is derived from corporate and government tenants that generally occupy the property on leases running from 3-10 years. The leases create a legal obligation for the tenant to pay the rent which underpins the security of the income.
  • Long-term capital growth: Historically, commercial property values have tended to rise at similar rates to inflation. Assets with these characteristics preserve the real' value of an investor's portfolio allowing the income returns they generate to grow at a similar rate to the cost of living.

How we invest your money

The Fund's investments

The Fund invests primarily in direct property within Australia, with the ability to also invest in cash and listed property securities. The portfolio is designed taking into account the real estate cycle, regional characteristics, investment opportunities and the liquidity profile of the Fund and its investments. The Fund may also invest in other managed investment schemes or investment companies where it is consistent with the Fund's investment objectives.

The Fund's investments may change from time to time, and are updated regularly online at www.ampcapital.com.au (go to the Fund page). These updates can also be obtained by contacting us.

The target asset allocation for the Fund is to hold 75% of its assets as direct property, with the balance of 25% allocated across cash and Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) listed property securities, such as Australian Real Estate Investment Trusts (AREITs) and funds which invest predominantly in AREITs. An AREIT is a corporation, or trust, which provides investors with exposure to properties such as shopping centres and other commercial or industrial properties.

Asset allocation

(Asset Class: Target Asset Allocation / Asset Allocation Range)

  • Direct property: 75% / 50-100%
  • AREITs: 25% / 0-50%
  • Cash: 25% / 0-50%

Asset allocation ranges for the Fund are shown in the table above, and are expressed as a percentage of assets.

The Fund's actual asset allocation may be affected by the number of applications and withdrawals, and the availability and volume of direct property allocations. Consequently, the Fund's actual asset allocation may vary significantly from the target asset allocation range set out in the table above.

If we change the target asset allocation or asset allocation ranges set out in the table above, we will lodge a PDS update notice online on behalf of the Responsible Entity at www.ampcapital.com.au (go to the Fund page). This updated information can also be obtained by contacting us.
