What attracted me was the hands-off approach. The fund handles the properties, tenants and day-to-day management, while I receive periodic reports on the performance of my investment.

I wanted to diversify my portfolio beyond shares and cash. Investing through the property fund allowed me to participate in a portfolio of real estate while taking a longer-term approach to capital growth.

The regular statements and property updates have helped me understand where the fund's assets are located and how the portfolio is performing. I particularly value having information about rental income and operating expenses.

Property has always been part of my long-term investment strategy, but directly owning several properties wasn't practical for me. The fund provided another way to gain exposure to income-producing real estate as part of my broader portfolio.

I wanted exposure to property without the responsibility of finding tenants, arranging repairs or dealing with property managers. Having the fund take care of those responsibilities has made the investment much more convenient for me.
