Funding Australian Property
Dorado First Mortgage Fund deploys investment funds to a diverse set of carefully evaluated first mortgage loans within Australia’s property development industry. Loans are for either land settlement, subdivisions, construction, or residual stock, and are secured by a first-ranking mortgage over the underlying property.
 
Robust Security Criteria
Backed by first mortgage security over Australian property, each Fund loan has a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 65% in areas with a population over 50,000 or within close proximity to a capital city, and a typical duration of 12-18 months.
 
Rigorous Due Diligence
To ensure that all loans funded are of high-quality, transactions are subjected to a rigorous review and due diligence process that has been refined over 127 successful first mortgages.
 
Key Fund Features
 

 

Origination

The underlying loans are originated through numerous channels, including a strong network of existing relationships with developers and industry brokers.


Preliminary Risk Assessment

Each underlying loan undergoes a preliminary risk assessment by the Manager to determine the suitability of such opportunities. Potential transactions are also reviewed to ensure that they fit the Fund’s investment parameters.


Detailed Due Diligence

The Manager’s highly qualified team of analysts undertakes a thorough due diligence process using a rigorous investment framework on all investment opportunities that clear the preliminary risk assessment. The analyst team looks deeply into the suitability of the borrower, the strength of the borrower’s investment strategy, the nature of the security, and the viability of the exit. The analyst team observes quantifiable measures, such as any valuations, the size of the opportunity, the proposed rate, as well as the timing and magnitude of the cash flows. The analysts also make use of their wealth of experience to judge the viability of the project using qualitative measures, such as the quality of planning, design, marketing, assumptions, as well as builders, developers and project managers.

 

Investment Committee Review

The Investment Committee critically reviews the outcome of the analyst team’s detailed due diligence. The Investment Committee also considers the broader implications on the Fund’s portfolio, including comparing the opportunity to other potential investments, the impact on the risk of the Fund’s portfolio, the timing of returns, and other capital requirements. A loan will not proceed without the unanimous approval of the Investment Committee.

 

Settlement Process

Once the loan has received the unanimous approval of the Investment Committee - the loan transaction is completed with the assistance of the Manager’s support team that ensures that all appropriate documentation is in place, and that investor funds are appropriately managed.

 

Loan Management

The underlying borrower’s projects are monitored by the Manager. The Manager monitors the progress of each project, including cash flows, project progress, and other deliverables on which the project’s completion is dependent. The Manager aims to reduce the risk of the underlying borrower’s non-performance by seeking to identify and resolve any issues early. The Manager also encourages a culture of collaboration, and seeks to provide any assistance it can to transaction counterparties.
