Brightlands Property Fund
The Fund seeks to acquire and maximise the value of real estate assets that provide the potential for exceptionally strong income and/or capital growth. (For Wholesale Investors Only)
This is a “Master Fund – Sub Fund” arrangement where investment in this Master Fund is your gateway to participation in a series of exclusive Brightlands property opportunities carried in project-specific Sub Funds. The reason for the separation is investor protection.
Each Sub Fund quarantines investor money subscribed to a project and ensures that financial exposure is limited to that specific project as well as facilitates transparent accounting for profits earned.
In addition to this IM, you will be presented with a project-specific Supplementary Statement and the two are to be read as one document constituting an investment offer.
Following entry to the Master Fund you will authorise that your investment money be applied to a Sub Fund carrying the project of your choice and this will determine the size and timing of your returns.
The Trust will provide funds as equity or loans funds to selected property projects. It will look for strong returns and where loaned, financing rates charged will vary depending on the profile of the project and security offered.
