AUSTRALIA PACIFIC INCOME FUND
Australia Pacific Income Fund’s advantage is derived from robust loan selection criteria, conservative lending limits, disciplined underwriting processes and rigorous recoveries on non-performing loans.
The Fund packages mortgage securities into sub-schemes to suit each investor and allows investors to choose their particular security, portion of the mortgage and investment term.
The Fund's strategy:
Derives stable fixed interest returns with predictable rates of return from Australia’s real estate mortgage market;
Integrates strict risk management to maintain high quality credit processes and lending criteria, creating an opportunity for the Fund to benefit from the premiums associated with borrowers who are underserviced by mainstream financiers; and
Creates an effective guarantee on investors’ return through interest being capitalised
