Longview Fund Outperforms Market Four Fold as Investors Flock to Residential Property Ahead of Looming Rate Cuts

Scott Keck, Executive Chairman of Charter Keck Cramer and Independent Advisor to LongView, is highlighting the safety and stability of residential property after seeing renewed strength in the housing market.

Keck’s outlook is reinforced by the strong performance of LongView’s Home Equity Fund, which offers wholesale investors an avenue to share in house price growth without having to purchase their own house or investment properties. The Fund co-invests in established selected residential properties (no properties under development) across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.

The Fund reported a quarterly return of 4.51%¹, significantly outperforming the residential property index return of 1.05% by more than four times.

Keck believes this is a sign that, in seeking diversity, investors are also recognising quality and consistency amid ongoing economic uncertainty, saying, “In times like these, investors are looking for safe, durable opportunities.”

He added, “Investors are seeking out stability and they’re increasingly finding it in well-structured property funds, showing how residential property continues to demonstrate its resilience even when other sectors are under pressure.”

The Fund has also delivered a 12-month return of 9.10%, outpacing its long-term target of approximately twice the property index, reflecting LongView’s disciplined, data-driven approach that prioritises long-term gain over short-term value.

“The Fund is designed to deliver capital growth with low risk and minimal hassle,” Keck said. “By diversifying the portfolio across dozens of homes and removing the complexities of direct property management, LongView is making residential investment more accessible and aligned to modern investor needs.”

LongView CEO and Co-Founder, Evan Thornley, noted that the success of the Fund is also underpinned by macroeconomic factors that have facilitated favourable conditions for investment.

“With expectations of interest rate cuts and growing volatility in other asset classes, property is increasingly seen as a shelter from market headwinds,” Thornley said. “The current climate has created emerging market opportunities that our model is well-positioned to capture in ways traditional approaches cannot.”

LongView’s Home Equity Fund has co-invested in more than $130 million worth of residential properties across Australia’s east-coast. It offers investors a share in the capital growth of a curated property portfolio of 82 homes without the burdens of ownership or management. The Fund remains open to wholesale investors with a starting investment of $100K.
