1 5 June 2014 Dear Investor, AIMS Commercial Mortgage Fund ( the Fund ) Wholesale Units We are pleased to enclose your May 2014 Periodic statement & Distribution advice. Investment Performance The Fund has maintained its strong performance in May 2014 delivering a return equivalent to 3.60% p.a. assuming the reinvestment of distributions. This return is expected to remain at 3.60% p.a. for the month of June 2014 and is still above the cash rate. Market Commentary At their June 2014 board meeting, the Reserve Bank of Australia ( RBA ) announced no change to the cash rate and remains at 2.50%. The RBA indicated that monetary policy is accommodative with inflation within target range and some improvement in the labour market although there has been a decline in wages growth. In addition interest rates remain at historical lows leading to some credit growth and an increase to house prices. The RBA has continued its neutral stance on rates which have remained unchanged since August 2013 and in their opinion this period of stability is likely to continue in the short term.
