EPISODE 297 - SDA Unlisted Property Trusts, Syndicates, & Managed Funds.

This episode is about the new frontier of SDA - managed funds, and “fund of funds” (FoF) and property syndicates and unlisted property trusts. Why? Because we recently saw on Facebook, a well known SDA property spruiker’s new online marketing to lure investors into their new SDA unlisted property trust. We then thought about it and realised, that every "man and his dog" are now trying to play in the world of “SDA Funds Management” in some form or another.

The definition of a "spruiker" refers to someone who vigorously promotes or advertises something, often with enthusiasm and a bit of flair. This particular person / company (who we wont name) is now raising capital via their own AFSL and investment PDS (prospectus) online. Having read this detailed document off their website, and realising how 'crap' it is (the offer, structure, and returns) we wondered to ourselves, ‘why on earth would anyone fall for this rubbish?'. Offering 0.0%pa returns for first 2 years, and then sub 8%pa for the few years thereafter, and no redemption of capital for 5 years. And finally, the PDS states that the fund will be entering into 2 oversupplied SDA markets ... WTF? 

When you use debt leverage (for a fund) and go into saturated markets, thats a disaster waiting to happen. LOL

Anyway,  lets talk more in this episode about why SDA funds are all the rave in SDA at the moment. We just trying to raise some red flags to unsuspecting mum and dad retail investors falling for questionable ‘unlisted property trusts’ within the SDA world in 2025.

Remember ... "BUYER BEWARE"
