Overview & Performance

The Private Land and Property Fund

1

has a portfolio of

investments covering horticulture and viticulture located around

New Zealand. Income is earned from either leasing the land or

selling crops.

This year the Fund has produced positive returns for investors

with a combination of income and capital growth.

Income distributions are made quarterly, and the annualised cash

yield before tax is 2.5%. Including both income and capital growth

the total return for the year to September 2021 before tax and

after fees was 15.9% and since inception 10.6%.

The Gross Equivalent Return of 22.5% assumes a before tax and

fees return for an investor on a tax rate of 33%.

The Fund aims to generate an annual long-term return of 6.5%

p.a. (before tax and after fees) over rolling seven-year periods.

Demand for reliable and regular income from an investment

portfolio is strong. In today’s market, punctuated by volatility

and ultra-low interest rates, satisfying income and lifestyle needs

is challenging.

While investing in property is not without risk, an exposure to this

investment category is worthy of further consideration.

As at the end of September, the Private Land and Property

Portfolio (PLPP) has property related assets of over $98.4m,

which after debt has a net asset value of over $86.4m

Portfolio activity

Over the quarter, it was pleasing to see that three properties

received a revaluation uplift.

Property Increase in valuation

Barewood $1,593,000

Flemings $165,000

Upton Downs $1,308,000

Total $3,066,000


During the quarter the commercial loan facility of $6,540,000

was repaid to the ANZ. There are now no undrawn facilities.

Portfolio risk assessment

Labour shortages and supply disruptions have been a challenge

for primary producers and exporters over the last year. So far, our

lessees have navigated these challenges well, but another

widespread COVID-19 outbreak, and extended border closures

are ever present risks.

Labour constraints are unlikely to ease in the short term as

borders are restricted. Fortunately, the grape and hop varieties

we produce are less labour intensive than some other varieties.

We regularly monitor the tenant’s financial situation across our

property holdings. The key tenants are:

Booster Wine Group (BWG).

BWG continues to produce

income sufficient to cover their obligations. Also, BWG has

shareholders who have demonstrated ongoing support of the

business.

Seeka – Kerikeri kiwifruit orchard – recent results show the

business’ resilience considering the Covid-19 challenges for

primary producers and exporters. We currently don’t see any

impact on Seeka’s ability to meet lease obligations.

Waimea West Hops (WWH) - Since acquisition during the

FY21 harvest in March, WWH continues to roll out its expansion

plans as expected. The Teapot Valley site was settled and the

development of what will eventually be 34 planted hectares has

begun with development of the first 7 hectares. Roughly half that

will be planted immediately and development of the balance

continues with the 34 planned hectares on the site more than

doubling current plantings. The new site will be focussed on three

higher value varietals including the new Nectaron hop. In parallel,

an equipment supplier has been chosen for the new processing

facility build which is planned to be operational for the 2023

harvest. The enlarged 2022 harvest will still be processed through

the existing plant.

Investment pipeline

Current investment opportunities are being assessed over

horticultural and agricultural land. Any further updates will be

provided separately to this report.

from a similar non-PIE investment in order to obtain the same after tax return as PLPF, based on a PIR of 28% and an income tax rate of either 30%, 33% or 39%, and

assuming the return received was fully taxable.
