    Where possible, the Fund Manager sources sustainable buildings for the Property Fund, allowing members to invest in properties with lower carbon footprints. Existing, Sub-scheme properties may also be refurbished to meet best practice with solar panels or other energy-saving options to reduce carbon emissions. These improvements benefit both tenants by reducing overheads and Members who, receive tax incentives, potential increase in leasing income and higher capital returns.
    At Australian Securities, we believe that being open and transparent about our fees, cost structures, loans and investments is imperative to building long term rewarding relationships, while helping existing and potential clients make informed choices.

    Our approach

    Unlike many other investment firms, our Mortgage and Property Investment Schemes are non-pooled. Members are offered individual investment opportunities in a choice of Sub-schemes. Each Sub-scheme is backed by an individual property security that has passed the Fund Managers’ rigorous due diligence process. Members approve an investment and retain proprietorship of Title as security for a loan or retain Titles as owners in common, depending on the Scheme type and chosen investment terms.

    Borrowers benefit from a transparent lending process with no hidden fees or commissions. All funding is provided by private investors, and only Australian property is considered for investment and or finance purposes. Ethical lending and smart investment standards achieve the correct balance in mitigating risk for both investor and borrower.
