Chairman’s Message
Dear Investor,
We are pleased to present the Peak Diversified Property Trust No. 1 (the Trust) for your consideration.
In a challenging and competitive marketplace, Peak Equities is proud to have secured 3 independent properties as a single investment, offering investors a high degree of income security.
Each of the assets in the portfolio is fully leased, with an average remaining lease term of 12 years. 65% of the total income is payable by the NT Government, whose lease over the Darwin investment extends for a further 12.5 years (plus options).
In our opinion, these income covenants will enable the Trust to benefit from a continuing strengthening of the commercial property market, or to hold the asset through a negative cycle, should such occur.
In addition to their intrinsic quality and attractive lease terms, each of the properties is located in an area of forecast strong population and economic growth.
Diversity in asset classes supported by well-reputed private and Government tenants, increases the security of investors’ income and capital.
The respective leases have staggered expiry dates (between 6 and 15 years) which substantially mitigates any future risk of multiple vacancies in the Trust.
The location of assets (Darwin, Perth and Adelaide), limits downside exposure to any single market and further confers the benefits of single-holding land tax assessments in each case.
The Peak Diversified Property Trust No. 1 will deliver cash distributions to Unitholders at the rate of 8% per annum, payable monthly. At the same time, the Trust will be holding significant cash reserves (greater than $1.8 million) as a buffer against any unforeseen circumstances or capital expenditure requirements.
The total capital raising of approximately $42.5 million, with pre-commitments of $24 million, should enable us to satisfy the expectations of all investors.
We welcome your interest in this Trust and invite you to contact any member of our team if you would like to discuss any aspect of this Information Memorandum.
