Whoarewe?
Smart. Start with the key question first.
Arkus Fund, but you can just call us Arkus, is a retail investment fund by GPS Investment Fund Limited (‘GPS’). Arkus is one of only 6 funds within GPS and does things a little differently.
Investment Funds will normally bring to mind the big multi-million-dollar corporations and banks. You will think Wall Street vibes with men in stiff suits and the risky game of predicting volatile markets in the hope of getting rich. Hopefully that description makes you recoil slightly because good news – GPS, and Arkus, isn’t any of that. GPS is a boutique investment fund with a 30-year history, and we don’t claim to be a big fund with LOTS of different options, spread over LOTS of different classes. We have specialised in investing in only First Registered mortgages in South East QLD from day 1. We can’t help you with shares or crypto or ETFs, but if you want to invest in the growth of South East QLD through First Registered Mortgages over residential construction – we are your team. I feel its key to point out here that while a Funds past performance is not a guaranteed indicator of its future performance, a retail investor of GPS has NEVER incurred a capital loss . Yes, that’s right. Never. We have stayed specialists in our field for a reason. We know what we need to do, and we don’t chase silly deals just to grow. We are risk adverse, experienced and care that our investors trust us with their hard-earned money. 30 years of history doesn’t lie.
What in the world are Registered First Mortgages?
Ah. Another fantastic question. I can feel we are going to get along well.
Investing is a VAST industry with lots of options to choose from, from almost every field. Our speciality is Registered First Mortgages over development projects in South East QLD.
It starts from when a developer wants to build the next set of units in Taringa or townhouses in Albany Creek, they first have to seek the funding to get the job done. They can go the bank, or they can go to a private lender – such as GPS Development Finance (GPS DF). When they borrow money from GPS DF, GPS Investment Fund obtains a mortgage over the land while the project is built and then the developer pays good old interest and fees on that loan while they build, and then repay the loan at the end. OMakes sense right? So when you invest with Arkus, you are investing in those mortgages over the properties while the projects are being built, and being paid your monthly distribution thanks to the Developers paying their fees.
