Fund overview
The Fund offers investors exposure to a diversified portfolio of high-quality marinas in tightly held locations across Australia’s east coast. It includes Australia’s largest premium marina group – d’Albora.
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 return above 13% IRR with potential for further upside by investing in value-add projects and strategic acquisitions.1
