ACHIEVING CONSISTENTLY HIGH RETURNS
Our realised returns over the past five years have delivered an average equity IRR above 18% p.a.
We’ve recorded positive returns on every single asset acquisition we’ve made thus far. We are unaware of any other Australian fund manager that can make the same claim in the wake of the global financial crisis.

THE EG DIFFERENCE
PRISMS® FILTER THE DEALS
Risk management is a priority at EG. We’ve developed our own proprietary risk assessment model to clearly measure and price real estate risks, providing specific guidance to the team.
PROPRIETARY INVESTMENT MODEL
Our success is due to a focused, strategic approach to investment in real estate. We view real estate as a ‘network asset’, so we map and analyse infrastructure to assess its impact on values, and highest and best use.
TEAM CULTURE
EG Grow is a unique, personal and professional development program created by EG, to cultivate high levels of engagement and trust among team members. This allows vital decisions to be debated without personal agendas.

WE BELIEVE THAT ALIGNMENT IS VITAL TO LONG-TERM INVESTMENT OUT-PERFORMANCE. WE’VE DEVELOPED A PROPRIETARY ALIGNMENT MODEL CALLED ABSOLUTE ALIGNMENT® TO SUPPORT THIS BELIEF WITH A SET OF CORE PROMISES:
01We will always quote our base fees in dollar terms, not as a percentage of Funds Under Management (FUM). This is because we believe that base fees should be tightly linked to resourcing and cost recovery. It should not deliver a substantial profit to the fund manager.
02We will always co-invest alongside our investment partners and we will do so in a “first loss” position. This is to ensure that we will remain supremely focused on downside risk potential.
03We will always receive our success fees only after all the assets have been sold (i.e. realised, rather than on valuation).

A LARGE PART OF EG’S SUCCESS CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO SUPERIOR RISK MANAGEMENT. EG HAS DEVELOPED A PROPRIETARY RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, PRISMS®, TO IDENTIFY RELEVANT RISKS AND QUANTIFY APPROPRIATE PRICING PRIOR TO ACQUISITION.
PRISMS® is a proprietary,web-enabled software that calculates scores for systematic risk (property cycle risk), asset betas (susceptibility to property cycle risk) and asset-specific risks based on the risk profile of the particular asset.
These risk scores are combined by a weighting system to calculate an overall risk score for each investment prior to acquisition. This allows us to compare all investment opportunities on a risk-return basis.

The Flour Mill at Summer Hill is located in a unique, village-like suburb in Sydney’s inner west. The community is tight knit with a strong sense of local history, and it was essential to EG to engage in a consultative approach with local residents from the project’s inception.
The location capitalises on the new light rail that runs adjacent to the Flour Mill, representative of the urban renewal within the surrounding area. EG recognised the potential to revitalise the site through retaining the existing heritage of the iconic Allied Mills silos, while complementing them with contemporary design.
Hassell, a leading international design firm, created an integration between the old and the new by weaving the industrial history of the site into modern apartments. The architecture has seamlessly retained the well-known silhouette of the Flour Mill through incorporating 45 of the new homes within the silo structure.
The development has been undertaken as a joint venture with Japan’s largest home builder, Daiwa House.

EG Urban Planning always works to add value through its proven property experience, financial management skills and technical expertise in obtaining land use changes and upzonings through consent authorities.
Each property’s land use potential is assessed on a case-by-case basis having regard to its existing zoning, location, size, shape and relationship to nearby properties and infrastructure, rental potential and state of repair.
We work with clients from a project’s inception to completion, commission specialist consultants and project manage the rezoning and/or development approval process.
We’re proud to have worked with clients including The University of NSW, Goodman, McDonalds, ING, Australand, GPT and Multiplex.

EG offers investors a tailored approach to investing in real estate in the United States.
The United States office opened in 2012, created through the opportunity to diversify our high-net worth investors’ portfolios offshore. The higher prospective yields, coupled with the long term prospects of job-hungry millennials, have made Austin a prime investment location for high net worth Australian investors.
We offer a range of opportunities from property funds to purpose-built real estate portfolios.
EG’s portfolio comprises single and multi-family homes, which are renovated and sold, or held for rental yield. EG has developed a strong track record with returns in excess of 20% p.a.

EG incorporates Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards throughout the investment management process.
EG ensures our urban renewal and redevelopment projects remain sympathetic to the environment in which we invest and develop, including heritage responsibility, environmental management and engagement with the community through consultative processes.
EG is also a signatory to the UN Principles of Responsible Investment (UNPRI) and records and reports annually on its adherence to the six principles of responsible investment across the business.
Giving is a large part of EG’s culture. Through various programs, the team has many opportunities to support those in need. EG currently sponsors two charities: Half the Sky Foundation, which cares for orphaned children in China, and a local child care facility in Manila, which supports underprivileged families. EG assists these charities through financial support and the team members participate by donating time, clothing, toys and through personal giving.
IT’S PART OF OUR FIDUCIARY DUTY TO CONSIDER ALL FACTORS WHICH MAY IMPACT STAKEHOLDERS, THE COMMUNITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
