GOZ is included in the S&P/ASX 200 Index (among other indices).

Owners of GOZ’s securities own both the real properties and the manager of those properties. All properties are 100% owned by GOZ on its balance sheet so GOZ’s owners have an interest in all of the properties GOZ owns.

GOZ intends only to manage a portfolio of properties that it owns, and accordingly 4 GOZ’s income is, and will continue Internalised to be, derived solely from rental income. management

GOZ has internalised management via a stapled entity structure. Securityholders own both the property trust and the manager/responsible entity. There are no fees payable to external managers for operating the business and no conflicts of interest between Securityholders and the manager/responsible entity.
