Despite only being June, it’s been a big year so far for GPS Investment Fund (GPS), to say the least!
We spoke last month about a notable trend in our loan pipeline, where many projects that have passed our desks are deemed ‘unviable’ and do not meet GPS’s lending standards.
This, as we’ve talked about before, is due to a few reasons:
But if you know us, you know that we view challenges, and changes like these, as opportunities to adapt. Unlike the GFC or COVID-19, this is adaptation for growth.
A key change we’re adapting to is the increasing loan size needed by developers. Buildings are becoming more expensive to build, and population growth means the $2.5M-$5M loans GPS exclusively offered in years past, no longer meet market demands.
GPS Investors may have noticed we’re already funding some large-scale loans, such as Kurilpa Street in West End at $27M, or Integer Securities at Wynnum for $21.6M. We can tell you now that our upcoming loan pipeline is only looking more and more similar to this, as larger projects benefit from better economies of scale.
As a result, starting this month (June 1st), we’re thrilled to announce the opening of our new GPS Pooled Wholesale opportunity ‘GPS Pooled Platinum’(Pooled Platinum). A ‘next logical step’ of the same diversified GPS Invest Pooled Fund (Pooled Fund) you know, at a higher targeted distribution rate, for sophisticated investors.
Pooled Platinum has a minimum investment of $2.5M with a target return of 8.0%.
On top of this, we’re also opening the opportunity for all eligible investors to join our ‘GPS Invest Private Fund’ (Private Fund).
The Private Fund also operates as a ‘Pooled Fund’, with a minimum investment of $500,000 with a target return of 7.5%.
Both Funds offer the same benefits you’ve come to love from our retail-level GPS Pooled Fund; investment in a diverse portfolio of GPS loans, managed and maintained by our experienced Funding Team, so you don’t need to make any of the reinvestment decisions.
Our Pooled Fund, Private Fund, and Pooled Platinum opportunities are all available now for investment!
We’ll be sending more information to your inboxes soon, and we are available to chat any time about these new opportunities if you’d like to give us a call, or send us an email.
In the meantime, GPS always says our business is built on referrals. Every referral we receive is a vote of confidence in our products, and in our team. If you, a friend, a family member, or colleague, are interested in investing in our Pooled Platinum tier opportunities, now is your chance to do so.
