Balmain has a range of products to which both retail and sophisticated investors can subscribe.
Balmain Opportunity Trust
(BOT)
(wholesale scheme for sophisticated investors)
You are eligible to invest in BOT if you are a ‘sophisticated investor’. According to Section 708(8)(c) of the Corps Act, in order to be considered a ‘sophisticated investor’ your accountant needs to certify every two-(2) years that you have either earned a gross income of more than $250,000 per annum for the last two years or hold net assets of at least $2.5 million.
BOT invests in a range of debt-related investments as described in its Information Memorandum including mortgages, special opportunities, lending programmes and other debt products. BOT makes monthly distributions to its investors.
BOT has been operating since 2015 and currently has funds under management of ~$1.5bn. Investments can be made at any time and can be withdrawn in full twice a year. Investors may also withdraw up to 10% of their investment at any time.
BOT is intended to go 'online' by the end of 2024. This will allow you to transact when convenient and, once invested, it will be paperless. It will be easy to use, provide historical data and provide live reporting.
Investors (and/or their authorised representative) will be able to manage all of their Balmain investment portfolio via an Investor/Adviser Control Console (ICC) which details your current investments and allows you to invest and withdraw per the terms of your investment.
Balmain Opportunity Trust (BOT)
BOT is open to Wholesale / Sophisticated Investors only.
The investments offered by BOT have been selected, credit accepted, funded and are managed by the Balmain Group.

Balmain Discrete Mortgage Income Trusts
(Balmain Private)
(registered retail managed investment scheme ARSN 155 909 176)
Build a portfolio of investments in individual first mortgages - online.
Balmain Private provides exclusive opportunities for investors to subscribe to individual first mortgage secured loans that have been credit approved and settled by Balmain. We use the word ‘discrete’ to highlight that you only are investing in a single mortgage, not a portfolio of mortgages. This way you choose to invest only in the ones that you like. Each investment offering comes with its own SPDS (Supplementary Product Disclosure Statement) which will provide you with ample information to make informed decisions.
Balmain Private was established to meet the needs of individuals and their companies, their family trusts and their superannuation funds. Cash distributions are paid monthly and the term of your investment is the term of the underlying loan. This is generally between 6-18 months.
The Balmain Private offer is online, allowing you to transact when convenient, and once invested it is paperless. It is easy to use and provides live reporting. Investors (and/or their authorised representative) can manage all of their Balmain investment portfolio (BOT, Balmain Private and B60) via an Investor/Adviser Control Console (ICC) which details your current investments and allows you to invest and withdraw per the terms of your investment.
Balmain 60-Day Notice Income Trust (B60)
(registered retail managed investment scheme ARSN 155 909 176)
Invest in a portfolio of income producing investments with the ability to withdraw all of your investment with 60-days’ notice.
Most commonly described as a ‘pooled’ fund, B60 invests in a similar range of debt-related assets as BOT (mortgages, special opportunities, lending programmes, etc) as well as a higher level of liquidity to enable more regular investor withdrawals.
B60 is governed by its own Product Disclosure Statement (or PDS) which is available online.
B60 was also established to meet the needs of individuals and their companies, their family trusts and their superannuation funds. Cash distributions are paid monthly. The term of your investment is determined by when you provide note of your wish to withdraw.
The B60 offer is online, allowing you to transact when convenient, and once invested it is paperless. It is easy to use and provides live reporting. Investors (and/or their authorised representative) can manage all of their Balmain investment portfolio (BOT, Balmain Private and B60) via an Investor/Adviser Control Console (ICC) which details your current investments and allows you to invest and withdraw per the terms of your investment.
Balmain Investment Partners Trusts (BIP)
You are eligible to invest in a BIP if you are a ‘sophisticated investor’. According to Section 708(8)(c) of the Corps Act, in order to be considered a ‘sophisticated investor’ your accountant needs to certify every two-(2) years that you have either earned a gross income of more than $250,000 per annum for the last two years or hold net assets of at least $2.5 million.
From time-to-time Balmain identifies opportunities for investment which do not readily fit the investment parameters of BOT, Balmain Private or B60.
In these circumstances we may offer investors the opportunity to invest in these transactions which come under the broad heading of a ‘BIP’. We have decided to extend this offering to existing Balmain investors. You need only to advise us of your desire to see these opportunities to be included in the offer. It’s up to you whether you invest once you have read the Information Memorandum.
To date the 14 previous BIPs were for such diverse transactions as acquiring non-performing loans, providing venture capital, corporate expansion loans, marina acquisitions, etc. The BIPs are private/ wholesale schemes.
