We have therefore established an Independent Investment Committee (IIC), made up of experts with a long history of governance in managed investments.

The Board has in place an Independent Investment Committee (IIC) for the Fund. The IIC is responsible for reviewing property acquisitions against the approved Investment Objective and Strategy. It also seeks to add further value to the management of the Fund through the substantial experience IIC members have in residential property.
Our IIC comprises three members of which two are independent and a third being Matthew Lewison (ResiFund Director). As at the date of this PDS, there are two independent members.
