Assetz® Fund Management Ltd is the property adviser for a series of property funds launched in 2005 and suitable for investing in by SIPP or SSAS pension funds. The funds are Unauthorised Property Unit Trusts as opposed to OEICs (Open Ended Investment Companies) and many of these funds may also be invested in by private equity certified sophisticated investors via a limited partnership structure.

Of great interest to many investors are the residential property pension funds that are available and advised on by Assetz. These funds are tax exempt for investment income and capital gains purposes for SIPP and SSAS investors.

These funds must be advised as being suitable for your investment purposes by an FSA regulated adviser as Assetz Fund Management Limited cannot advise on this suitability on your behalf. Please speak with your financial adviser or complete an expression of interest via our survey form where you can also request an introduction to our appointed regulated adviser.
