Macquarie Specialist Investments has sought to take advantage of strong interest in the Special Investor Visa (SIV) funds launched last year, with the launch of three new products. 

The new funds - Conservative, Balanced and Growth - are being marketed as offering investors access to a diverse range of Australian-based asset classes including cash, fixed interest, listed property and equities. 

According to Macquarie Specialist Investments, the complete suite of funds caters for diverse investor risk/return profiles by maintaining different investment allocations to the various asset classes.

Further, the company said it was offering SIV candidates the potential to protect and borrow against their investment, a feature that was unique to the market. 

Macquarie Specialist Investments head Jason King said investors had shown strong interest in the two original SIV cash offerings, with close to $150 million either committed or in the pipeline. 

"The recent changes to regulations now allow us to cater to a much broader range of investor risk/return profiles," he said.
