Where the Trustee makes available more than one Investment term, the Trustee will create a different class of Units for each Investment Term.

Different classes of Units, corresponding to the different Investment Terms, may have different target returns and different fees and costs.
 
The rate of return is not guaranteed and is determined by the payment of the Loans by Borrowers. Revenue from the payment of the Loans interest and principal that make up the returns of the Trust may be lower than expected.

Any investment rate of return and terms displayed are specific to the pool of mortgages and therefore subject to the performance of those mortgage investments.

A new kind of lender
Bridging loans are not a widely understood part of the mortgage market. That’s where Funding comes in. Our mission is to help people build the bridge they need from one financial situation to the next through short term bridging loans. We want to change the way everyday Australians can access funding and invest in property.
 
But we don’t stop there. We’ve revolutionised the way bridging loans are offered through ground-breaking technology that makes the whole loan process faster, simpler and more efficient.
 
We’ve already come so far, but there’s even more excitement in store.
 
How it all began
Funding started operations in 2015 when founder and CEO Jack O’Reilly identified a gap in the market. The big banks were not effectively serving short-term mortgage customers. People who deserved better were not being offered the right products for their needs.
 
Since inception, Funding has rapidly grown to become a reputable non-bank fintech and the leading choice for bridging loans in Australia. Every bit of success we’ve achieved can be put down to focusing on the customer. We create products that benefit you and add value to your life.

 

Jack’s an entrepreneur at heart with an innovative approach to solving problems.   With over a decade of experience in lending and fixed income investments, Jack was awarded Young Leaders in Finance, CEO of the Year 2018.   Jack not only leads his team to success at Funding but was also admitted as a Lawyer to the Supreme Court of Queensland and High Court of Australia, just one among many notable achievements.

 

Over 17 years experience in the financial services space with a focus on fund management and building transparent and lasting relationships with investors and stakeholders. At Funding, his leadership and strategic acumen are instrumental in nurturing investor relationships and driving our continued success.

If you invest at least AU$500,000 in the Funding Income Trust you are automatically classed as a wholesale investor.

 

You also qualify as a wholesale investor if you provide a certificate by a qualified accountant stating that you have net assets of at least AU$2.5 million or gross income for each of the last two financial years of at least AU$250,000. A certificate issued by an accountant is valid for up to 2 years.

 

(Note – if you are contemplating an investment in the Funding Income Trust, you will find the accountants certificate in the Application Form.

You will need to give 90 days notice from the end of the current investment period to make any redemptions. You can not redeem an amount that will leave less than $50,000 remaining in your account unless you would like to redeem your full balance.

Our investments are backed by a registered first mortgage loan against Australian real estate. A first mortgage is a first charge over real estate owned by the borrower. If there is a Default in repayment of the Loan, the property can be sold in order to recover the Loan and repay Members.

The security property varies from loan to loan however each loan is secured over either Residential or Commercial real estate in locations across Australia.

Borrowers must have Australian real estate security, the ability to meet their repayments and a repayment strategy to exit the Loan at the end of the term. Our mortgages are catered to borrowers that need a fast and flexible solution. Short-term mortgages are more expensive than traditional finance, which is why we are able to provide higher returns to our investors.

The Funding Income Trust is the legal structure for our Pooled Fund. The Funding Income Trust is an unregistered managed investment scheme where members of the Trust are provided with access to first mortgage investments. Manager: Funding.com.au Pty Ltd ACN 603 756 547, Trustee: Funding Capital Pty Ltd ACN 639 230 345, AFSL 523247 and Custodian: Sandhurst Trustees Limited ACN 004 030 737.

The loan to value ratio or LVR is the maximum lend secured over the property. The LVR of mortgages within the pool may vary, however, all LVR’s must be less than 70% of the value of the security property. (e.g. Loan of $480,000 divide by Property Value of $800,000 = 60% LVR).

The interest from your investments is intended to be paid monthly, into your investment account, subject to the performance of the investments. You can elect to have these funds automatically reinvested, or withdraw to your nominated bank account. Please allow for 2-3 business days for withdrawals to be processed.

The applicable rate of return for your investment is based on the performance of the Fund and on the underlying loans.
