The Zagga CRED Fund

Another CREDible alternative for advisors

The Zagga CRED Fund is our flagship unitised fund that aims to deliver investors with risk-adjusted returns and regular defensive interest income through investment exposure to a diversified portfolio of creditworthy commercial loan transactions secured by quality Australian real estate.

Fund Overview

For investors looking for an alternative to shares and traditional fixed income and property investments, the Zagga CRED Fund (ZCF) provides a CREDible avenue for portfolio diversification and regular, risk-adjusted income by investing in a specifically curated portfolio of credit-vetted, mortgage-secured loans.

The Fund invests predominantly in senior debt, diversified across a mix of geographic locations, sectors, and borrower profiles. By investing in the Fund, investors can access opportunities not readily available to private investors on a direct basis, while accessing the specialist knowledge and skills of the Investment Manager.
