Global Funds for Australian Investors
Across asset classes, market inefficiencies create opportunities which expert managers can exploit to generate alpha. Higher potential alpha occurs in asset classes where there is a wide dispersion between the best and worst performing managers. The key therefore to adding alpha to an investment portfolio, is to identify – in wide dispersion asset classes – those managers which consistently generate top quartile or decile performance. This is the basis of the Spire Global Investment Series.

US Workforce Affordable Housing (Wholesale Investors only)
NOW OPEN FOR INVESTMENT FOR WHOLESALE INVESTORS
NEXT CLOSE DECEMBER 2017
Opportunity to invest in, preserve, and rehabilitate workforce and affordable multifamily housing communities in high-growth U.S. markets
- America is faced with an affordable housing crisis, with an estimated 12 million renter and homeowner households paying more than 50% of their annual incomes for housing1
- Existing affordable housing often does not include community and life-enhancing services in which Bridge specialises
- There has been a 9% decline in Class B/C multifamily units as a percentage of total stock since 20003
- The need to preserve affordable housing is driven by healthy demand from middle and lower income tenants combined with an overall decrease in the homeownership rate
- Current chill in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) investments due to expected tax reform further exacerbates the dire shortage of affordable housing
Differentiated, focused, and socially responsible investment and asset management strategy
- Acquire and create communities that offer quality workforce and affordable housing
- Create socially responsible communities that are more than “four walls and a roof” by:
- Renovating older “B” and “C” class assets, adding amenities comparable to new communities
- Improving unit interiors and common areas
- Implementing extensive community and social programs through alliances with strategic service providers
- Concentrate on Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and sub-markets with strong population and job growth where affordable, high-quality housing is in high demand but in short and diminishing supply
Senior team members average 25 years of experience in the multifamily sector
- Since 1991, senior members of the team have developed, acquired, and managed 184 multifamily properties and completed approximately $4.4 billion of multifamily transactions across the U.S.
- Special focus on value-added acquisitions, in-depth capital improvements, and operational efficiencies
- The senior executives have acquired, leased, developed, and/or operated over 60,000 units of multifamily properties throughout multiple cycles in most major markets and prime submarkets
Targeting $500 million of equity capital in a closed-ended fund structure with 13-15% gross internal rate of return (“IRR”), 10-12% net IRR (assuming 5 year hold) with quarterly distributions
- Target investments are intended to satisfy Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) requirements; with a minimum of 51%+ of the units occupied by families that earn a maximum of 80% of the Area’s Median Income (AMI)
- Bridge will rebate some fees to fund social programs and facilitate impact investments
- LPs are expected to receive stable quarterly cash flows as well as CRA benefits (for CRA-benefit-eligible investors)4

Spire Copper Rock Capital Global Smaller Companies Fund
The Fund aims to outperform the MSCI World Small Cap Index $A by 2% to 3% p.a. gross over a full market cycle (e.g. 5 to 7 years).
The actual outperformance of the Copper Rock Global Small Companies Fund since its inception date December 1, 2010 has been 2.3% p.a. above the MSCI World Small Cap Index*.
The Fund is rated “Recommended” by both Lonsec and Zenith Investment Partners.
Copper Rock has been nominated as a finalist in the 2015 Money Management / Lonsec Fund Manager of the Year 2015 – in the Emerging Manager category.

The Global Small Cap strategy typically looks for resilient and defensible business models that are characterized by underlying unit growth, longer term market share gains (an evidence of competitive strength), high profitability, and significant internal cash generation. Distinguishing elements of the process are also the application of a routinely practiced and proven Sell Discipline and Alert List that provide risk control and are crucial in preserving alpha earned in the portfolio.

Spire USA ROC III Fund (AUD)
THIS FUND IS NOW CLOSED TO NEW INVESTMENT.
Spire USA ROC III Fund (AUD) (the Fund) is the fourth US property-related fund created for Australian investors via the strategic partnership between Spire and US based Bridge Investment Group Partners, LLC (Bridge).
The Fund will invest as a single Limited Partner in a Partnership known as ROC Multifamily & Commercial Office Fund III LP (ROC III), for which Bridge is the Investment Manager. The Partnership is anticipated to comprise US and global institutional investors, endowment funds and family offices.
The ROC III Partnership has a total target equity amount of US$750 million. The Fund is expected to invest between US$50 million and US$100 million, subject to demand via this offer.
ROC III follows predecessor funds ROC I (2009 vintage / US $124 million equity with US$16 million in co-investment) and ROC II (2012 vintage / US$595.5 million equity). As at 30 September 2015, ROC I and ROC II had generated (USD denominated) net Internal Rates of Return (IRRs) of 16.3% p.a. and 28.3% p.a. respectively – and net multiples on invested equity of 1.76x and 1.49x respectively. However, it is important to bear in mind that the past performance of ROC I and ROC II is not a reliable indicator of future performance for ROC III.
Like ROC I and ROC II, ROC III will acquire a portfolio of value-add multifamily and commercial office properties on a ‘buy, fix, sell’ basis. ROC III will have a 3-year Investment Period (expiring January 2018) following which the 5-year Harvest Period will commence.
As at April 2016, an initial 25 properties have been acquired or placed under contract for approximately US$1.1 billion.
These investments are forecast by the Investment Manager, Bridge IGP, to generate an average deal level 3 year cash- on-cash return of 8.7% p.a., a 19.1% gross IRR and a 1.92x net equity multiple.
The Fund aims to provide investors with an annual income stream and future capital growth from a diversified portfolio of quality properties, each of which Bridge has identified as having realisable value-add potential. The execution of value- added business plan for each asset is designed to enhance Net Operating Incomes and values.
The Fund operates on a total return basis and as such will not measure its returns against a benchmark.
Units in the Fund will not be listed or actively traded and should be considered as a long-term investment. Invested capital is expected to be progressively returned as each asset is stabilised and sold primarily during the Harvest Period, which will begin in January 2018. Alternatively, a portfolio sale or IPO exit could result in a complete return of capital at a single date within the Harvest Period.
The Fund is designed for Australian investors to increase their allocations to both global investments and alternative investments.

Spire USA ROC Seniors Housing and Medical Properties Fund (AUD)
1.THIS FUND IS NOW CLOSED TO NEW INVESTMENT.
Spire’s second Fund has again partnered with US based Bridge Investment Group Partners, LLC, to provide Australian investors with the ability to access income and growth via an investment in the US Senior Housing and Medical Properties market.
Like Spire’s inaugural “ROC II” Fund, Spire USA ROC Senior Housing and Medical Properties Fund (AUD), will operate as a feeder fund to the underlying US investments sourced and managed by Spire’s US real estate partner, Bridge Investment Group Partners, LLC.
The Fund acts as an Australian feeder fund into the assets of ROC Seniors Housing and Medical Properties Fund, LP (“ROC Seniors”). ROC Seniors is a “buy, fix, sell” private equity real estate fund, investing in income producing and value-add US seniors housing and medical office properties.
The Fund owns a proportionate share of a current diversified portfolio of 50 separate real estate assets across the US, which have been acquired for approximately US$1.5 billion.
During ROC Senior’s 4 year Investment Period, the portfolio is expected to grow to US$2 billion in income generating assets.
Following the Investment Period, an exit strategy will be executed, which may include an IPO or trade sale of the portfolio.
The Fund will acquire assets that will benefit from what is being called the “Silver Tsunami’ – the US ageing population demographic, in which over 10,000 people per day are turning 65.
Each asset acquired will have a value-add strategy which will be implemented to increase the property’s cash flow and total return. In many cases this will involve increasing the number of Memory Care beds in a facility. Memory Care is a relatively new specialist sector and asset class within the US senior housing market, which provides specialist accommodation and care programs for residents afflicted with dementia; the leading cause of which is Alzheimer’s disease.
Currently in the US, there are over 5 million people living with Alzheimer’s and someone develops Alzheimer’s every 68 seconds. Yet there are only 35,000 Memory Care beds available. Accordingly, most Memory Care facilities are 100% occupied – with waiting lists.
Following the amalgamation of the portfolio during the Fund’s Investment Period, Bridge will asses the method and timing of the most profitable exit strategy for the portfolio. It is expected that this exit strategy will seek to exploit the pricing differences between the private markets and the public markets, via a portfolio or portfolio sales to publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), or via an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of the portfolio as a new REIT. Alternatively individual assets may be sold when value has been maximised.
The Bridge Investment and Asset Management team behind the underlying ROC Seniors program, concluded a similar strategy in 2006 via the sale of a US$5 Billion portfolio of US Senior Housing properties to a publicly traded REIT, generating a portfolio Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 33% (p.a.).

Bridge Seniors II is a “buy, fix, sell” private equity real estate fund, investing in income producing and value-add US seniors housing and medical office properties.
The Fund intends to provide investors with meaningful and consistent Current Income paid on an annual basis and the potential for strong capital appreciation and attractive risk-adjusted returns by investing in select Seniors Housing properties located throughout the US. The Fund will focus on independent living (“IL”), assisted living (“AL”) and memory care (“MC”) facilities, although the portfolio may also include skilled nursing facilities (“SNF”) and continuing care retirement communities (“CCRC”). The Fund also intends to opportunistically invest in select medical office and other healthcare-related properties which represent exceptional value.
Following the Investment Period, an exit strategy will be executed, which may include an IPO or trade sale of the portfolio.
