Overview & Performance
The Private Land and Property Fund has delivered a solid return
for investors in the latest quarter, building further on results from
recent years. Returns for the quarter benefitted from 4.8% in
market revaluation gains, following receipt of updated external
valuations on the portfolio’s vineyard and winery properties in
Hawkes Bay and Hope (Nelson), as well as its kiwifruit orchard in
Northland.

Inflation has been a key topic in the financial world this year –
with inflation rates around the world rising to levels not seen in
30 years. Amidst this environment, the portfolio’s investments in
productive land provide an income that is linked to real
horticultural produce. This provides a point of diversification and
a useful complement to other types of investment.

Underlying sources of income and return
The portfolio earns cash income from a mix of rental received on
around 60% of its land holdings, and sale proceeds from selling
crops produced on the remainder. The lease income provides a
solid base to the portfolio’s cash inflows, while the crop supply
arrangements provide the opportunity to enhance the return
over and above this level - albeit with some more variability
expected from year to year. Regular returns also include a
gradual recognition of capital gains from parcels of the land
increasing in value as newer plantings mature towards full
productive capacity.
While the additional 4.8% of market revaluation gains over the
last quarter is pleasing to report, the Fund’s return objective is
more focused on these underlying sources of return, with the aim
of generating a 6.5% annualised return from these sources on
average over rolling 7-year periods. Recent returns have
continued to track in line with this objective.

Growing portfolio diversification
The Fund’s investments currently include investment in Hops,
Kiwifruit and over 250 canopy hectares of vineyard land across
the country. As we have broadened its investments in recent
years, the initial allocation to vineyard properties has been
spread across wine producing areas nationwide including
Marlborough, Hawkes Bay, and Nelson. The result has been that
the portfolio holds a mix of properties with a greater spread and
less reliance on a single region than applies for New Zealand’s
grape production in general – of which a full 80% comes from
Marlborough.
We are actively pursuing opportunities to add further productive
land investments to the portfolio, to further broaden its income
sources and types of property exposure. Two such opportunities
are close to potential fruition, and we hope to be able to update
you on them shortly. If successfully concluded, these potential
investments would add further diversity in the land use and
geography that underpin the income for the portfolio.
To help facilitate this growth we have recently finalised new
borrowing arrangements for the portfolio, to a flexible loan
facility provided by BNZ. Together with the Fund remaining a
popular option for investors, this puts it in a strong position to
grow and diversify over the years ahead.
In pursuing new investment, applying discipline in our
management approach remains our first priority. Any
investments added to the portfolio need to meet our
requirements of offering a secure long-term income yield, an
appropriate return relative to the nature of the investment, and
a strong operating partner, in order to help provide income for
clients.

Private Land and Property Fund (PLPF)
The Private Land and Property Fund obtains its property exposure by investing into the
wholesale Private Land and Property Portfolio (PLPP) alongside some cash held within
the Fund.
PLPF has a minimum suggested investment timeframe of four years, and
its performance aims are measured over a seven-year horizon. The
return information below includes returns due to property market
movements which vary over time, so the range of returns may be
different over a longer period. However the fund aims to achieve a long-
run return of 6.5% pa (before tax, after fees) from a combination of
rental and crop income, and capital gain from improvements in property
productive capacity. Past performance is not an indicator of future
performance.
*All figures are after fees. Please see the Product Disclosure Statement for further details
on fees. Returns prior to the inception of PLPF in January 2019 are based on the
underlying wholesale PLPP return. Past performance is not an indicator of future
performance.
