Investing in aged care for a 7.75% yield

Heathley has recently launched its Aged Care Property Fund, designed to provide investors access to the anticipated growth in the Aged Care sector. Managing Director Andrew Hemming says “the ageing population is a significant demographic force in our economy and it’s estimated we will need a further 75,000 beds by 2022 to meet demand. This will require a co-ordinated effort on the part of government, operators and investors to meet the needs of the elderly”. The Fund will initially invest in a portfolio of aged care assets on a 20 year sale and leaseback arrangement to an institutionally backed operator, and will deliver a 7.75% starting distribution yield. Hemming also noted “in a low growth, low interest rate environment, we have seen yield compression across traditional property classes. Investment in alternatives allows us to deliver quality product while maintaining attractive yields and the potential for capital growth”.
