PLP - Quarterly Client Update
Private Land & Property Fund
Quarterly Client Update
Update as at and for the quarter ending 30 September 2024
Booster Investment Scheme 2
Investment outlook
Returns to the Private Land and Property
Fund (Fund) were 0.4% (after fees, pre-tax) for
the quarter. This was driven by income and
development gains (+0.97%) partially offset by
valuation movements (-0.57%). The valuation
movement was informed by two independent
valuations we received over the quarter for
the Fund’s Southland dairy farms (+$2.3m)
and its investment in Waimea West Hops
(-$3.7m). Investors can refer to the Fund’s
NZX disclosures for more details
www.nzx.com/companies/PLP/
announcements.
Returns to the fund have been 6.7% on an
annualised basis over the three year period
to 30 September 2024, and 9.0%p.a. since
inception.
The Fund aims to generate an average long-
term return of 6.5%p.a. after fees but before
tax over a rolling 7yr period. The Fund’s
key focus is on returns from income and
development gains as properties reach full
productive capability. Other returns to the
Fund can arise from property revaluations.
Overall, we remain pleased with the long term
performance of the fund, in particular with
how the portfolio has performed through the
top of the interest rate cycle.
Spotlight on Industrial Property:
Iport Drive, Rolleston
During the quarter we confirmed the Fund’s latest
acquisition, the purchase of a large prime industrial
building integrated with the Midland Inland Port in
Rolleston, Christchurch.
Our tenant is Lyttelton Port Company (LPC) which
is fully owned by Christchurch City Council. In
turn, LPC have sub-leased the warehouse to NZX-
listed freight company Move Logistics.
This purchase represents an exciting addition for
the Fund and supplements our core horticultural/
agricultural focus with further diversification
benefits. As we have previously noted, investments
in property outside of our core horticultural and
agricultural focus are actively considered where the
risk/return proposition is attractive.
At 31% of the value of the overall fund at 30
September, this is a significant acquisition that
will add value immediately in two ways; we think
that the additional diversification will reduce the
volatility of fund returns. Secondly, the cash return
from the fixed lease is accretive to the cash yield
component of the fund.
It’s important to note that property values do vary
over time, though a longer-term perspective is
important. The Fund’s investment objective remains
focused on producing returns over a 7-year rolling
period which allows for ‘peaks’ and ‘troughs’ in the
business and investment cycle.
As well as this opportunity, we continue to actively
explore opportunities to broaden and diversify the
portfolio and support its objectives.

Gearing Ratio1.5
The investment objective and strategy of the Wholesale Portfolio allows it to borrow
to invest in more land and properties or to develop land and properties it already
holds. Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) has provided a loan facility of up to 50% of
the value of the secured properties for use by the Wholesale Portfolio to effect its
gearing strategy which results in BNZ holding a security interest over most of the
assets held by the Wholesale Portfolio. For further information on the Wholesale
Portfolio, please refer to the Fund’s PDS and Other Material Information document.
The gearing ratio shows the level of borrowing the Wholesale Portfolio has
undertaken as a percentage of total assets.
