Benefits Of Investing
The benefits of investing in the Fund include the following:
Regular Monthly Income Distributions
The Fund aims to provide Investors with a diversified income-producing portfolio of Loans that delivers regular consistent income and a high degree of capital stability.
Distribution Reinvestment Option
The Fund offers Investors the option to either have their monthly income distributions paid to their nominated bank account or to have their monthly income distributions reinvested in the Fund. The distribution reinvestment option is designed to assist Investors in building the size of their investment portfolio over time.
Investment Alternative
Direct mortgages as an investment class have been around since the start of time. However, for most people gaining access to this type of investment class is problematic. An investment in the Fund provides Investors with access to this asset class and provides an alternative to listed equities, direct property and government and corporate bonds.

Keystone’s board of directors, senior management and credit committee bring together in excess of 170 years of relevant experience in property investment, property development, funds management, banking and commercial mortgage lending.
