The fund targets properties from which it expects to earn a minimum rate of return on equity of 15% per annum. It is structured to distribute all surplus earnings to investors as they are earned. The fund is periodically open to new subscriptions.

Ben Habib, CEO of the Group and CIO of FPAM, said:
