Ark Capital provides access to private commercial real estate debt and equity investment opportunities across Australia. These include structured credit strategies, mortgage funds, and select equity partnerships designed to deliver risk-adjusted returns for wholesale investors.

Private Commercial Real Estate (CRE) debt refers to privately originated loans secured against commercial property assets, including residential land subdivision and residential townhouse developments, industrial land subdivisions and warehouse developments, mixed commercial use projects, and income-producing real estate. Traditionally accessed by institutional investors, private CRE debt is now an established asset class available to wholesale investors seeking attractive risk-adjusted returns backed by tangible assets.

Ark Capital’s investment opportunities are generally available to wholesale and sophisticated investors, as defined under Australian regulations. Advisers play a key role in assessing suitability and ensuring alignment with their clients’ risk profile and objectives. Ark Capital’s Bedrock Mortgage Fund is available to advisers through the major investment platforms Netwealth, BT Panorama, HUB24 and Mason Stevens.

Risk management is central to Ark Capital’s investment approach. Each opportunity undergoes detailed due diligence, conservative structuring, and ongoing monitoring. Ark works closely with advisers to ensure transparency around loan security, borrower quality, and downside protection.
Advisers can partner with Ark Capital by gaining access to deal insights, fund information, performance updates, and dedicated support from the distribution team. Ark works collaboratively with advisers to understand their investment philosophy and provide solutions aligned to client needs.
