Unlisted property assets are a source of stability and long-term returns for REI Super’s portfolio. 

Approximately 25% of REI Super’s property portfolio is invested in unlisted property assets, through one of our long-standing investment managers, Industry Super Property Trust (ISPT). 

Unlisted property assets are assets that are not included in portfolios listed on the stock exchange. They are generally not readily available to individual investors.   

Unlisted property investments are excellent long-term investments, providing a combination of growth and income to REI Super’s portfolio. They also have fewer short-term ups and downs in their returns than many investments. 

REI Super’s investments in ISPT are through its Core Fund, which is a diverse portfolio of around 75 Australian commercial, industrial and retail properties of unmatched quality across capital cities and regional centres. 

A great performance record

Since it started in 1994 to 31 December 2016 the ISPT Core Fund has delivered an average net of fees return of 9.44% per annum. 

In the 12 months to 31 December 2016 it returned 10.99% (net of fees).

A growing portfolio of high quality property assets

At 31 December 2016 the ISPT Core Fund was valued at a huge $11 billion.
The portfolio includes many iconic Australian properties.

For example:

  • Melbourne’s GPO
  • Westfield’s Doncaster Shopping Centre
  • Brisbane’s Wintergarden complex
  • Casselden Place in Melbourne
  • Liberty Place in Castlereagh Street
  • Sydney, 2 National Circuit in Canberra
  • 100 St Georges Terrace in Perth
