Frequently asked questions

We ensure you are well informed when entering into the world of First Mortgage Investments.

What is a first mortgage investment?

First mortgage investments are a type of investment where an investor's capital is used to provide a loan to a borrower. The loan is secured by a registered first mortgage over Australian real estate so if the borrower defaults, the investor has access to the Australian real estate security to fund their investment. First mortgage investments typically offer a regular, monthly income stream via the interest payments with competitive returns to investors who seek capital preservation and capital stability.

What is a mortgage fund, and how does it work?

A mortgage fund is a managed investment fund in which investors' money is on-lent (as a mortgage loan) to borrowers, where those loans are typically secured by mortgages over Australian real estate. A ‘first’ mortgage fund will only invest capital into investment opportunities secured by first ranking, registered mortgages over Australian real estate and are recognised as the most conservative mortgage funds..

What do we offer?

We offer investment into the Credit Connect Select Fund ("the Fund"), an unregistered mortgage investment fund. The Fund is designed to provide investors with the opportunity to select and invest in specific loans of their choice, which fit their risk appetite and investment criteria. The Credit Connect Select Fund is a very conservative mortgage fund, investing only in loans secured by first ranking registered mortgages over Australian real estate.

Are first mortgage investments safe?

First mortgage investments are traditionally recognised as relatively safe and secure investment opportunities. For example, where a loan of $650,000.00 is secured by real estate independently valued at $1,000,000.00 (a “loan to value”  ratio (LVR) of 65%), in the event of a default by a borrower, the lender is entitled to take necessary steps to recover all monies owed including by way of taking possession and selling the real estate security.

By way of example, as at the 31st of January 2023,the average LVR of all first mortgage investments currently managed by CCG is 62%.
