Description of Target Market

This part is required under section 994B(5)(b) of the Act.

TMD indicator key

The Consumer Attributes for which the product is likely to be appropriate have been assessed using a red/amber/green rating methodology with appropriate colour coding:

In target marketPotentially in target marketNot considered in target market

Instructions

In the tables below, Column 1, Consumer Attributes, indicates a description of the likely objectives, financial situation and needs of the class of consumers that are considering this product. Column 2, TMD indicator, indicates whether a consumer meeting the attribute in column 1 is likely to be in the target market for this product.

Generally, a consumer is unlikely to be in the target market for the product if:

  • one or more of their Consumer Attributes correspond to a red rating, or
  • three or more of their Consumer Attributes correspond to an amber rating.

Investment products and diversification

A consumer (or class of consumer) may intend to hold a product as part of a diversified portfolio (typically with an intended product use of satellite/small allocation or core component). In such circumstances, the product should be assessed against the consumer’s attributes for the relevant portion of the portfolio, rather than the consumer’s portfolio as a whole. For example, a consumer may seek to construct a conservative portfolio with a satellite/small allocation to growth assets. In this case, it may be likely that a product with a High or Very High risk/return profile is consistent with the consumer’s objectives for that allocation notwithstanding that the risk/return profile of the consumer as a whole is Low or Medium. In making this assessment, distributors should consider all features of a product (including its key attributes).

Consumer’s investment objective
Capital GrowthGreen
  • Investors seeking to achieve one or more of the following investment objectives:
    • Regular Income;
    • Some Tax Deferred Income; and
    • Some Capital Growth.
  • The Fund aims to provide Investors with stable income returns and the potential for capital growth, by investing in a diversified property portfolio. It is intended that a proportion of income distributions will be tax-deferred for Australian tax residents.
  • While an investment in the Fund could experience capital loss and is higher risk and more volatile than cash or fixed income securities, the Fund is expected to exhibit lower volatility than listed equities or listed REITs in a market downturn.
Capital PreservationAmber
Capital GuaranteedRed
Income DistributionGreen
Consumer’s intended product use (% of Investable Assets)
Solution/Standalone (75-100%)Red
  • Investors seeking to invest in the Fund as part of a portfolio of investments on the understanding that the Fund provides access to a diversified range of commercial property. Investors seeking to hold units in the Fund as part of a broader portfolio.
  • The Fund is permitted to gain exposure to the commercial property asset class in Australia and seeks to maintain a diversified portfolio in this asset class by direct investment in real property and indirectly via investment in property funds. Therefore, the Fund’s portfolio diversification is Low to Medium (see diversification definitions).
  • Whilst the investment objective of the Fund may align with an investor’s overall portfolio objectives, it does not come without capital and income risks. In extreme circumstances this may result in significant capital loss, and suspension of income. Investors also have restricted access to their invested capital.
  • Investors should seek to further spread this risk across an appropriate portfolio of investments.

*Where the Fund is to form a core component of a portfolio it should generally not exceed 50% of the investor’s Investable Assets.

Core Component (25-75%*)Amber
Satellite/small allocation (<25%)Green
Consumer’s investment timeframe
Short (≤ 2 years)Red
  • Investors seeking to invest in the Fund for the Long term.
  • The Fund has rolling five-year investment terms, with a full liquidity event at the end of each term
Medium (> 2 years)Red
Long (> 5 years)Green
Consumer’s Risk (ability to bear loss) and Return profile
LowRed
  • Investors who are comfortable tolerating Medium Risk*.
  • Whilst the Fund’s objective is to provide regular income distributions (with a proportion being tax deferred) and some capital growth, this does come with some risk.
  • Specific risks relevant to an investor’s risk and return:
    • The value of an investment may fall if the value of Fund’s assets falls.
    • The Fund may borrow up to 50% of the gross value of the Fund (on a look-through basis).
    • The Fund may not make regular distributions, or at all, as the income available for distribution is dependent on a variety of risks associated with an investment in property (such as risks that the tenants may default on the terms of their leases).
  • It is expected the Fund may experience an estimated 2 to less than 3 negative returns over a 20 year period (SRM 3).

*See Risk Appetite Definitions.

Consumer’s need to withdraw money
DailyRed
  • Investors being comfortable with investments of the Fund having low liquidity.
  • The Fund offers a limited quarterly withdrawal facility which is expected to be satisfied from the Fund’s cash or cash-like products.
  • Off-Market Transfer is allowed.
  • The Fund is invested primarily in direct real property. While there are well established markets it can take time to realise an investment which can impact on the liquidity of an investment in the Fund. The amount available for withdrawal on a quarterly basis will be subject to available liquidity and capped at 10% p.a. of the Fund’s NAV (2.5% of the Fund’s NAV per quarter). However, the Issuer may in its discretion increase the amount available in a given quarter.
