The ARK Fund Limited (ARK) is an ASX listed agricultural property investment company.
ARK buys agricultural property upon which resides established, income producing, horticultural, viticultural, forestry and other agricultural businesses. They are rented to leading managed investment scheme company Rewards Group Limited, who has a strategic alliance with ARK.
ARK's future therefore is as an ASX listed agricultural property investment company that buys agricultural property upon which resides established, income producing, horticultural, viticultural, forestry and/or other agricultural businesses and once purchased to rent these agricultural assets/businesses to Rewards in return for a fair market cash rental. These agricultural assets may then form part of a Rewards managed investment scheme. The cash rent will be paid therefore by the investors in those Rewards managed investment schemes.
ARK is a pure property investor and in its capacity as a landlord earns a cash rental yield. The business or operational risk is ultimately borne by the growers/investors in Rewards’ managed investment schemes. The sole risk borne by ARK is the landlord’s risk.
Rewards is a successful managed agribusiness investment schemes operator. For further information about Rewards please visit its comprehensive website: www.rewardsgroup.com.au
ARK has a very expansive view of this strategic alliance with Rewards. Up to 40% of all capital intensive agricultural operations in North America operate under similar arrangements where the land and the productive business situated upon the land are separated. As Rewards grows its business and expands into new agricultural sectors, ARK will expand side-by-side with Rewards with the objective of taking the land ownership piece that forms part of each and every such agricultural opportunity.
