The Macquarie SIV Government Bond Fund invests into bonds issued by Australian  Commonwealth, State or Territorial Governments and importantly, satisfies the $1.5 million  Waratah Bond requirement for investors looking for New South Wales state sponsorship.

Head of MSI, Jason King said: “The new Macquarie SIV Government Bond Fund is an innovative offering to the market as it has made it possible for investors looking to migrate  to Australia to manage all their SIV investments in one place.

“Previously, investors looking to live in NSW were required to apply separately to the  Government for their $1.5 million Waratah Bond. Now investors can deal solely with MSI to satisfy both their government bond requirement, and at the same time allocate the remaining $3.5 million of the minimum SIV requirement of $5 million across MSI’s suite of compliant SIV funds.

MSI’s six SIV Funds offer investors access to a diverse range of Australian-based asset classes including cash, fixed interest, listed property, equities and now Government Bonds. The funds cater for diverse investor risk/return profiles with a number of the funds maintaining different investment allocations to the various asset classes. Additionally, MSI offers SIV candidates the potential to protect and borrow against their investment, including against the new Macquarie SIV Government Bond Fund, two features that are unique to the market.

Mr King said: “Investors have shown strong interest in our SIV Funds to date, with over $200 million either committed or in the pipeline. The new fund demonstrates MSI’s commitment to the SIV program by making it simpler for applicants to manage all of their investments while offering significant choice and flexibility”.

The new funds – Conservative, Balanced and Growth – offer investors access to a diverse range of Australian-based asset classes including cash, fixed interest, listed property and equities. They complement two cash-only funds launched by Macquarie in 2013.

The complete suite of funds caters for diverse investor risk/return profiles by maintaining different investment allocations to the various asset classes. Additionally, Macquarie offers SIV candidates the potential to protect and borrow against their investment, a feature that is unique to the market.

The launch of the Conservative, Balanced and Growth funds follows recent changes to regulations that widen the scope of ‘complying investments’ that can be offered. As a result of these changes, SIV candidates now have access to a greater range of Australian equity and fixed income investments.

Head of MSI, Jason King said: “Investors showed strong interest in our two original SIV cash offerings, with close to $150 million either committed or in the pipeline. The recent changes to regulations now allow us to cater to a much broader range of investor risk/return profiles.

“An expanded range of complying investments is good news for migrant investors and better enables them to take full advantage of Australia’s world-class expertise in funds management. It also enhances an already significant opportunity to grow Australia’s investment capital.

“And, by offering the opportunity to protect up to 100 per cent of the value of their investment through an optional risk management facility, Macquarie offers migrant investors even greater choice and flexibility.”
