*The Responsible Entity intends to satisfy withdrawal requests within the advertised timeframe, however, under the Fund’s Constitution, the Responsible Entity has up to 12 months to satisfy withdrawal requests.

The minimum investment amount for all funds is $10,000.

CIF was established in 2023, and has a dedicated management team with over 100 years experience in managed funds and lending experience.

CW RM Ltd is also the Responsible Entity for the Certain Property Australia Fund (ARSN: 640 809 365) which was established in 2021.

If you wish to withdraw from a Fund in whole or in part before, or at the end of the Investment Term, then you must lodge a Withdrawal Request within the notice periods set out below:

7 Day Units – seven days’ notice

90 Day Units – 90 days’ notice

12 Month Units – 30 days prior to the term end

In relation to the 12 Month Unit only, you do not have the right to withdraw your investment in this unit class until the Investment Term has expired.

You invest in the Fund for the amount and duration you are comfortable with (7 days, 90 days or 12 months). Depending on the term you invest for, you will receive a targeted distribution rate of the Cash Rate + 0.5-1.5% per annum payable monthly. 

Your distribution will start accruing once we have accepted your completed application form and your funds have been received in our custodian’s bank account.

Distributions are paid within 7 days of the end of each month directly into your nominated bank account.

There is no set time period for depositing your funds once the application is completed but the distribution will not start accruing until such time as the funds are deposited.

Your funds are held in trust by our custodian Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited who is authorised by ASIC to act in such capacity.

The Funds use the capital contributed by investors to provide loans to borrowers and we take a registered mortgage over real property to secure those loans.

The Funds lend to borrowers at various interest rates, between the Cash Rate + 0.5-1.5% per annum for 1st mortgage loans, which enables us to pay monthly distributions to investors and fund the operational costs of the Fund.

Your investment in the Fund is effectively spread across that Fund’s portfolio of loans – it is not linked to a specific borrower, loan or security.

An investment in the Fund is subject to general investment risks, specific risks of investing in a managed fund, as well as all the risks of investing in a portfolio of 1st ranking mortgages over real property.

What are the returns?
7 day term = Cash Rate + 0.5%
90 day term = Cash Rate + 1.0%
12 month term = Cash Rate + 1.5%

Some key risks of an investment in the Fund include, but are not limited to:

  • Borrower default
  • Reduction in mortgaged property values
  • Low liquidity of the Fund
  • Project construction delivery, increasing costs, supply chain issues, and completion risk for the underlying Loans and repayment to the Fund’s Investors
