A Strong Australian Understanding and Philosophy
With an established and historically stable economic environment, Australia provides investors a strong platform for returns.
Key macro economic considerations
- Sustained low interest rates and increasing investor appetite have resulted in stable asset values with strong competition for institutional real estate from both local and off-shore investors
- Competition for yield can often be over bid and therefore discipline on capital value is a key consideration of asset acquisition
- Strong competition for A-grade assets has created an opportunity to secure secondary assets in prime locations that require active and experienced management to improve income and add value
- Well located assets provide downside protection and still have the capacity to deliver optimised returns through focused management
- The population is expected to shift to follow jobs while maintaining affordability and lifestyle choices
- Population growth is expected to be concentrated in metropolitan centres expanding close to capital cities
- Australia has historically provided an established fiscal environment with consistent economic stability
