Some funds specialize in one sector whilst others diversify between multiple sectors.

The targeted annualized return paid out by the fund to each investor expressed as a percentage of their initial investment.

Those funds considered to be more passive and low-risk typically set a lower Overall Return Target p.a compared to the more active, dynamic funds.

Performance Fee

The percentage of the final profits distributed to the Fund Advisors at the end of the Fund Lifetime, after the Liquidation Period. It is expressed as a percentage of profits above the Annual Distribution Target. The Performance Fee varies significantly from fund to fund and is typically a commercial decision acting as a reflection of a) how active the Fund Advisors have been during the Fund’s Lifetime, and b) the greater overall profits which are typically associated with such activities. For example, a fund that has focused on actively sourcing, renovating, and selling residential development projects might set a higher Performance Fee than a fund that has focused on passive, yielding real estate assets.
