FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Selecting the right fund management company can be overwhelming, and you may have questions. Answers to the most frequently asked questions are below. If you can't find the information you need here, please feel free to reach out to Amplify Funds Management to discuss your specific requirements.
What type of returns can I expect from an Amplify property trust?

Amplify generally aims to generate an annual return of 8.0% plus per annum (distributed quarterly) for investors, and an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 12.5% plus. The returns will vary depending on the objectives and assets of a particular Trust.

How does an investment in an unlisted property trust work?

Each investor purchases units in the trust and becomes a unitholder. $1.00 equals 1 unit. For example, if you invested $100,000 in an Amplify Trust, you would receive 100,000 Units.

Can my SMSF purchase units in an unlisted commercial property trust?
Yes, complying and self-managed superannuation funds may invest in Amplify property trusts.
What if I need to get my money back early?

Amplify property trusts are illiquid, meaning invested funds generally cannot be returned until the underlying properties are sold. However, investors may choose to exit earlier by independently selling their Units to a third party, dependent on certain conditions being met. These conditions vary depending on the type of Trust and assets involved.

How much do Amplify Trusts typically borrow?

The levels of borrowing vary from trust to trust, but Amplify’s policy is to borrow around 50% to 60% of the value of the underlying assets in the Trust.

What are “non-recourse borrowings”?

All borrowings made by any Amplify Trust are secured solely against the properties in the Trust. This means that investors in the Trust have no further financial exposure beyond their investment in the Trust.

How can I track the progress of my investment?

All investors in Amplify Trusts receive distributions on a quarterly basis, at the distribution rate designated for that particular Trust. In addition to a quarterly distributions statement, investors receive a quarterly update that provides information on the performance of their investment, as well as an Annual Tax Statement after the end of the financial year.

How can I receive notifications about new opportunities available through Amplify?

You can stay up to date with Amplify investment opportunities by providing your details here, and we will keep you informed of upcoming offers.

How do I notify Amplify of any changes to my details?

If you are an investor or on our mailing list, you can update your details by contacting the team at admin@amplifyfm.com.

How do I invest in an Amplify Trust?

In order to invest in an unlisted property trust, you must be a “wholesale investor”, which is a person, trust or self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) member who has enough investing experience to not need the same level of disclosure as “retail investors”. The Corporations Act 2001 defines wholesale investors as "sophisticated investors" or "professional investors”.


If you meet this definition, then you can invest in an Amplify Trust. You should first read the relevant Information Memorandum, understand the risks involved in the investment, and should you wish to invest, complete an Application Form and pay Amplify the chosen investment amount. You will then receive a Unitholder’s Certificate which contains the details of your investment.

You will be kept up to date with the performance of your investment on a quarterly basis, along with the quarterly distributions you will receive.
