Investment objective

The Fund aims to generate a total portfolio level internal rate of return (IRR) after fees, expenses and Fund level tax of 7% to 11% per annum via a stable income stream from leasing the Fund’s assets to high quality agricultural businesses (tenant partners) and from long-term capital growth.

Investment strategy

The Fund targets higher value agricultural assets in different regions and sectors, ranging from fruit and nuts to intensive livestock and viticulture, with quality tenants and attractive lease terms.
