The ICAM Diversified Seniors Living Fund (“IDSLF”) is an open-ended diversified Fund created with the aim of providing investors with reliable yields, strong capital growth and reduced risk via geographic diversification through a pipeline of seniors living assets located across Australia and sourced off-market via ICAM’s industry networks.
Founded in April 2022, the Fund will target assets in differing stages of their lifecycle, including mature operating assets, newly developed operating assets and may undertake full or partial development of assets where risk adjusted returns are complementary to the Fund.
The Fund has been created to capitalise on Australia’s demographic trends. As the population ages, a generational opportunity is emerging to capture the resulting demand for seniors living accommodation. Combined with a chronic undersupply of seniors living accommodation across Australia the Fund aims to acquire assets via off market transactions at high discount rates and with significant aggregate valuation upside.
The Fund currently has two wholly owned retirement village assets with a total of 276 independent living units and apartments. The seed asset for the Fund was Langton Park, a well-established retirement village located in Adelaide’s eastern suburbs. The fund’s second asset is The Elms Retirement Village located in the semi-regional town of Kilmore in the northern growth corridor of the Melbourne metropolitan area.
The Fund has a strong pipeline of diverse off market acquisitions and intends to build a fund size of $150M-$300M with 10-15 assets nationally
As Australia’s population ages, a generational opportunity is emerging to capture the resulting demand for seniors living accommodation.
Advancements in healthcare are enabling Australian seniors to live independently for longer, creating a robust long term demand outlook for retirement living accommodation.
With seniors living accommodation supply struggling to meet this heightened demand, and the development pipeline slowing due to high construction costs, existing seniors living assets are experiencing high levels of demand for their stock, driving elevated prices.
Despite these strong demographic tailwinds, discount rates for seniors living assets are yet to compress to the degree seen in other property asset classes such as commercial office, industrial, segments of retail, and even residential property, presenting a highly attractive relative value opportunity.
The discount rates for these assets also tend to be less affected by rising cash rates as gearing is typically lower.
The key focus for ICAM as the Asset Manager for the Fund will be to utilise it extensive networks to acquire targeted off-market senior living assets across Australia and to actively manage these assets to derive the maximum value from the investments. Where possible ICAM will employ initiatives such as upgrades, repositioning, expansion or development of assets. The Fund does not intend to invest in Aged Care which is a different area and governed by different regulations and legislation.
The Fund will also look to take advantage of obtainable synergies across its asset base to manage costs and provide stable distribution yields to investors.
The Investment is intended to be open-ended with an opportunity for investors to seek redemption of their investment after 7 years from the Fund’s inception (liquidity event in April 2029) and every 3 years thereafter.
