Ingenia winds up managed funds
Highlights
-
Contracts exchanged for the sale of five assets within the Group’s managed funds
-
Paves the way for the Group’s exit from managed funds business and the return of capital for investors
-
Consistent with the Group’s intention to simplify business operations
Ingenia Communities Group (ASX:INA) today announced the exchange of contracts for the sale of five of the six assets within the Group’s managed funds. The final asset is anticipated to be sold in the coming months. The asset sales pave the way for the Group’s exit from its managed funds business and the return of capital for fund investors.
The exit from the funds business is consistent with the Group’s intention to simplify its business operations. Combined, the five funds own six individual assets, with a total value of approximately $80 million.
The five asset sales will be settled progressively over February 2025, with the final asset anticipated to transact soon after, allowing a wind up of each of the funds in the second half of FY25.
Ingenia will release approximately $5.5 million in capital from its co-investment in the five assets and expects to receive performance fees aligned to individual fund performance (offset by the write down of goodwill).
Ingenia acquired the funds business in 2019 which in aggregate held 10 assets, across six funds. Fund 6 was exited in March 2022 when the Fund’s Federation village assets in Werribee, Sunshine and Glenroy were acquired by Ingenia, extending the Group’s land lease portfolio in Victoria.
CEO of Ingenia Communities, John Carfi, said that the wind up of the funds was consistent with the Group’s intention to refine its portfolio and simplify operations.
“The capital released will contribute toward further investment in our development activity.”
