The Australian Property Opportunities Fund I (the Fund or APOF I) is an unlisted property fund that provides exposure to small-to-mid-value ($15-$50M) commercial property in east coast Australia. Since raising $160.7M in July 2013, the Fund has acquired six properties, five being neighbourhood shopping centres, the other an office building, for a current value of $286M.

The Fund is managed by Fort Street Real Estate Capital (the Manager), a JV between Dixon Advisory (of which Walsh & Company is a wholly owned subsidiary) and Fort Street Advisers.

The URF Notes III (the Notes) are unsecured debt obligations of the US Masters Residential Property Fund (the Fund or URF), which is managed by URF Investment Management Pty Ltd (the Manager). They are the third such series to be issued by Walsh & Company Investments Limited (the RE) and are expected to commence trading on the ASX on 23 February 2017.

The Fund is Australia’s first solar-focused fund and offers investors the opportunity to earn a relatively high and stable level of income underpinned by long-dated assets with long-dated electricity contracts.

The purpose of this portfolio is to 1) to deliver long-term capital appreciation and a relatively stable income, 2) when combined with the futures trading strategy, deliver consistent positive returns year in year out, and 3) provide the collateral for the index futures, providing the Manager ‘free’ leverage.
