Stirling Property Funds has closed the Stirling Enhanced Yield Fund oversubscribed amidst nationwide lockdowns. The Fund acquired three assets at a 30% discount to values in Sydney and Melbourne: two industrial assets at a 19% discount to replacement cost in Newcastle’s premier industrial estate and a Large Format Retail centre, MacGregor Home, in South Brisbane’s most dominant large format retail precinct.
The three institutional quality assets, with a combined asset value of $52.1million, are in high growth locations (population growth in Brisbane is 72% higher and Newcastle 63% higher than Sydney) with strong national tenants and are land rich.
Stirling’s Enhanced Yield Fund offers investors a premium return relative to peers:
- Cash distribution of 7.9% p.a. paid quarterly, and
- Total return of 13.3% p.a., gross tax effective for high tax bracket investors as a result of depreciation and tax deferral benefits
Stirling is focused on identifying mispriced institutional quality assets in great locations with strong tenants offering above-average risk-adjusted returns.
This successful capital raising follows their first three funds which were all oversubscribed and are all outperforming original forecasts including the third fund which is currently forecasting 30%+ p.a. against original 15% p.a. forecast.
Independent Fund Research and Ratings Recommendation
Core Property has provided a “Recommendation” rating on the Fund which “indicates that the product has an above average grade profile across a number of Core Property’s parameters and has the potential to deliver above average risk adjusted total returns.”

The asset class where the market has no vote
Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
Reinventing the Condom: How an Australian Deep-Tech Startup Plans to Disrupt a $12 Billion Market
For more than half a century, the global condom industry has remained fundamentally unchanged, constrained by standard materials like latex and solid synthetic polymers. Despite widespread consumer demand for better alternatives, product design has treated the device strictly as a mechanical barrier, sacrificing feel for function. Sydney-based Eudaemon Technologies is setting out to upend that […]
