Great Southern looks to the land
Great Southern Limited has launched a new managed fund targeted at investment opportunities in Australian agriculture, including water rights and highly-productive land.
The Great Southern Rural Opportunities Fund offers investors a diversified portfolio of agricultural assets, with a bias towards rural property and infrastructure holdings.
It aims to “satisfy an unprecedented demand for agriculture investments, given climate issues are now creating market dynamics for some commodities”, according to managing director John Young.
“Traditionally, the only way you could invest in agriculture was to own a property outright, but this fund gives everyone the opportunity to have agriculture as an alternative investment in their portfolio.”
The new fund builds on the funds management business of Rural Funds Management, which was acquired by Great Southern in July this year, he said.
