A national independent property based financial services business has been launched by Knight Frank Australia, branded Rutley Capital Partners.
The business will provide additional services to Knight Frank’s institutional, fund management and private investor clients.
Clinton Ramm, General Manager of Rutley Capital Partners said "while our clients are generally looking to invest in direct property, we recognise that they also want access to quality assets at a lower entry point.
"We are currently teaming up with experienced fund managers raising capital for selected assets across the country.
“We have a significant competitive advantage due to our unique access to Knight Frank's global network, real estate expertise, research and international market presence. Our network assists us in providing investors with a diversified range of real estate based investment products and opportunities” he said.
"We were recently able to assist a number of our clients make investments in the GDI No. 35 Perth Prime CBD Office Trust which was over subscribed and has just recently closed."
"We are currently reviewing various other opportunities Australia wide" Mr Ramm said.
Stephen Ellis, Executive Chairman of Knight Frank Australia said “Rutley Capital Partners will provide an additional channel for High Net Worth clients to invest in a range of property based opportunities.
“Property is a stable long term investment and investors are keen to diversify their holdings over a number of selected classes of individual assets, rather than the portfolio offerings available through the listed REITS sector.
