Our Views


We provide the following information as general advice and not specific advice for any particular investor.

Positives:

  • The Manager(s) are well established with a strong track record
  • The Fund has identified a seed assets which can be reviewed in further detail.
  • The asset is leased to a wholly owned subsidiary of an ASX listed tenant providing support to the lease income

Negatives:

  • The Trustee is not yet identified
  • The commercial office market in Pymble is weak. There is a reasonably high level of vacancy as the precinct is not as accessible or has the same level of amenity as other markets (ie Macquarie Park).
  • Trilogy have not stated in the Fund Flyer, their total return expectations.

Our view is that Triology will raise sufficient capital for the fund, however capital growth will be limited.
