The Responsible Entity is granted all powers in respect of the Trust that could be exercised by a natural person or a body corporate as if it were the absolute and beneficial owner of the properties of the Trust (and any other assets of the Trust). The Responsible Entity may appoint an agent to hold the title to the Properties (and any other assets of the Trust) or otherwise carry out any functions of the Trust.

The Constitution is the document that governs the relationship between the Investors and the Responsible Entity. It regulates the rights and obligations of the Investors and the Responsible Entity and sets out the powers of the Responsible Entity in operating the Trust.

As required by law, the Trust has a Compliance Plan that has been lodged with ASIC and sets out measures that the Responsible Entity shall apply in operating the Trust to ensure compliance with the Corporations Act and the Constitution.

The Compliance Committee is established to monitor compliance by the Responsible Entity with the Compliance Plan and report to the Responsible Entity on a regular basis regarding its compliance with the Compliance Plan, the Corporations Act and the Constitution.

The Compliance Committee is to report to the ASIC if the Responsible Entity does not address any issues raised in an adverse report issued to the Responsible Entity. The Compliance Committee is comprised of 3 members, with two thirds of the committee being “external” under section 601JB(2) of the Corporations Act.

Yes, complying and self managed superannuation funds may invest in our property trusts.

The Responsible Entity arranges for income from the Properties (rent) to be collected and pays it into the proceeds fund. Out of the proceeds fund, the Responsible Entity pays all costs, charges, expenses and outgoings it properly incurs. These include the Responsible Entity’s and Manager’s fees, property outgoings, establishment costs, administration and audit costs, Custodian and Compliance Committee fees, bank fees, government charges and taxes.

The Constitution provides that the Responsible Entity will (if appropriate) make distributions out of the net balance in the proceeds every month or quarter (subject to trust distribution periods). The Responsible Entity determines the amount to be distributed. Any net income (after expenses) received into the proceeds fund that are not distributed to investors, remain the property of the Trust (and therefore unit holders/investors).
Generally, a portion of the distributed income you receive will be tax advantaged, resulting in less income tax being payable on that distribution in the year it is received.

Tax advantaged or tax deferred income is derived from property trust distributions, generally as a result of building allowances and depreciation allowances and the amortisation of the costs of borrowing. The amount of tax deferred distributions received by investors varies depending on the circumstances of the trust. No income tax is payable by investors on that proportion of the distribution received that is attributed to tax deferred income.

However the tax deferred income received reduces the cost base of an investor’s original investment (purely from a tax accounting perspective, it does not reduce the actual dollar amount invested) in the trust. This results in an increase in the amount of the capital gain on disposal of that investment. But if the relevant asset is held for more than 12 months an investor is generally entitled to a discount on the capital gains tax and for an individual investor only 50% of the capital gain is taxed at the investor’s marginal tax rate.

Tax deferral has two clear benefits. Firstly it provides greater cash flow during the investment term as a portion of the income received is not taxable in that year. Secondly at the end of the investment term, provided the investment is held for longer than 12 months, discounted capital gains applies, reducing the tax payable by up to 50%.

Essentially our property trusts are illiquid and invested funds are not returned until the property is/are sold. Investors may exit earlier by the independent sale of their Units to a third party and you can contact the Manager to assist with the relevant documentation and information in this regard.

The levels of approved borrowing may vary in each trust however our policy is to only borrow up to around 50% of the property value.

All borrowings on behalf of a Trust are secured solely against Trust property (non-recourse to investors). This means that you have no financial or other commitment beyond your investment into that trust.

A gearing ratio indicates the extent to which the Trusts assets are funded by external liabilities (debt).

An Interest Cover Ratio (ICR) is a measure that shows how many times the Trusts earnings can meet the Trusts interest expense each year. For example if a trust has an income of $300,000 and an annual interest payment of $100,000 then its ICR is 3:1.

All investors in each Trust receive an annual tax statement within three months of the end of each financial year.

All investors in each Trust will receive an Annual Report, providing information on the Trusts’ activities for that year.

We also produce periodic newsletters providing a variety of information including trust updates, property market information and new investment offerings. Information held on our website is also frequently updated and we recommend investors and potential investors review the website content on a regular basis.
