Centuria Property Funds
“Centuria has established itself as a leading direct property fund manager in the Australian market.”
Asset Management A critical part of the success of property investment is the quality of the management of tenants and ongoing management of the physical aspects of the property. Capital gain potential is maximised by ensuring the most efficient use of space, conducting services upgrades, building refurbishment and assessing potential re-development. 85% of the Centuria portfolio is managed by our in-house property division. Our team is comprised of experienced property professionals with backgrounds in leasing, agency and valuation. Any property managed externally is managed by hand picked experts in their locations and asset types. They report directly to Centuria’s Head of Assets and National Leasing Manager. Fund Management Centuria has developed a totally unique, web-based, in-house Investor management system which manages all aspects of investment including registry, accounting, distribution, and correspondence. Investors can keep up to date with information related to their investment, including all Fund correspondence, distribution and tax statements and property performance through regular updates on Centuria Property Funds’ website (www.centuria.com.au/property) and by logging into the Investor Database. Centuria believes that its fundamental property asset experience, coupled with its funds management pedigree, place it in a unique position to maximise benefits for Investors.
