Defender Australian Opportunity Fund

The Defender Australian Opportunity Fund was established in January 2017. An opportunity has presented itself in the tourism sector, specifically in regional NSW, with the sector experiencing strong and consistent growth over the last 10 years. The Fund is targeting tourism assets in and around Australia, with the initial focus on assets within 5 hours of the Sydney CBD. Vertua has identified that:

• Tourism related growth is 4.6% to 2020.
• The tourism asset market is broken down into large institutional grade assets and smaller ‘owner operated’ tourism assets.
• An opportunity exists to acquire smaller and medium size assets which are typically too small for institutional investors.
• There are opportunities to leverage an overall group management structure to oversee and operate assets typically too small to appeal to large investment groups.
