Fund overview

The Fund offers investors exposure to d’Albora marinas – the largest marina group in the southern hemisphere situated in tightly held locations along Australia’s east coast.

Marinas generate regular, predictable income from a wide range of services including boat storage, property rental, boatyard, fuel and boat brokerage. As an operating business, prices and margins can be managed which means income can be adjusted for inflation. It also means the expertise of the operator can maintain and grow earnings across a range of economic cycles.

The Fund is targeting a total return above 13% IRR with potential for further upside and an annualised distribution of seven cents per unit.1
