Benlee Property Trusts is a wholly owned Australian entity focused single mindedly on the income and growth potential of modern, industrial and commercial properties in Australia. Our fundamental strategy is to identify well-let, existing properties in prime locations and to invite suitable parties to participate in their acquisition via unit holdings in a managed trust. This structure has the following benefits for unit holders: Participation in the Australian property market without the need to actively be involved in the day-to-day management of such properties. Collectively gain access to large scale properties with stable, long term tenants that would otherwise be out of reach of the single, small investor. Derive regular income (paid monthly) and potentially obtain capital growth. Benefit from the 40 years experience and competence of the property manager. Obtain regular and comprehensive reporting from the Trustee and Manager about their investment Offer an ideal vehicle for pension or superannuation funds. Easy investment process with low entry level Access to the Property Manager and Trustee whenever needed Reassurance that all trust affairs are overseen by a Licensed Trustee Units can be sold or purchased at any time (subject to supply and demand.) There is no stamp duty payable on transfers of ownership. We are currently pursuing several opportunities in our sphere of operation and would be happy to discuss these or any other matters of interest with potential investors.

Benlee Property Trusts focuses on acquiring modern, well-let industrial and commercial properties in Australia and seeking to obtain, from such properties, a reliable rental income and potential capital growth. Acquisition is financed by the establishment of a trust and issuing units in that trust to suitable investors, together with debt finance. Highlights Benlee undertakes extensive research into prospective properties, the existing lease agreements, market conditions and other factors as well as conducting thorough feasibility studies into the anticipated returns and capital growth a property may yield. Findings are contained in an Information Memorandum which is made available to prospective investors. Participating in a property trust allows smaller investors collective access to large scale Australian property opportunities. Such large scale opportunities generally have stable, long term tenants under lease agreements that provide for automatic rent increases. Trust returns are thus more predictable and reliable. Unit holders are relieved of all mundane trust management which is handled by the Property Manager. Regular and detailed financial reporting is provided by the Trustee who is, by law, required to follow specific and thorough procedures. Management remuneration is based substantially on the performance of the trust and not based on asset values. Such remuneration has been shown to be on the lower end of industry averages. Units can be traded at any time (subject to the usual laws of supply and demand) and attract no stamp duty on transfer. Benlee management has over 40 years direct experience in the Australian property industry and makes a personal investment in all trusts. Distributions from trusts are made monthly direct into unit holders bank accounts, thus yielding higher annual returns from a compounding effectxxxxxxccccccxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Benlee Company Pty Ltd ACN 135 555 654 21 Olphert Avenue, Vaucluse NSW 2030 T: +61 2 9337 4411 Mob: +61 0 403 100 100 F: +61 2 9337 1112 E: john@benlee.co www.benlee.co Unit holders have secure, online access to trust information at all times - as well as direct contact with the Property Manager whenever required.
