The below points will further clarify the means for achieving the above returns.

PPIF investments are done in the form Sub Fund structure with SPV created for each project, this will eliminate pooled Investment structure.

PPIF projects are Government Approved and zoned for Residential Developments.

PPIF investments are structured as a loan to the developer on the current value, keeping the margin to GRV as the equity, backed by JLL or CBRE independent valuation of the Value at Completion.

Having the above option eliminates Capital Gains taxes and only 10% non-resident taxes are withheld.

As the investments are structured as Mortgage to the Developer the RR is paid quarterly in arrears to the investors, without waiting for the completion of the project and performance.

Why Melbourne?

As Paragon conservatively is investing into the median residential property growth, which is a much needed requirements for the influx of the population growth and lack of funding from banks for such scale development projects.

— Australia has a population of 23 million, currently the population in Melbourne is 4.2 million with a 4-6% per annum growth yearly. The population in Melbourne is expected to double in 19 years. Hence all of Melbourne infrastructure and housing must double to accommodate for this growth.

— Based on the data, 20.7% of Australian residents live in Sydney with a further 19.0% residing in Melbourne. Our two largest cities account for almost 40% of the population.

— Melbourne has dominated Australia’s population growth for the 11th year in a row, it has recorded the fastest rate of population growth at 2.1%.

— In more recent years Melton, Whyndam and Casey as a part of the Melbourne statistical division, has recorded the highest growth rate of all local government areas in Australia. These parts of Melbourne are where the development projects are taking place.

— Melbourne has been named the most liveable city in the world by Economist Intelligence Unit for six years in a row. Backed by a strong economy and cost of living.

— The Australian government cannot print more money as the value will decrease, lowering commodities, affecting import and export and loss of job. Hence Australia needs foreign investment to build its housing/infrastructure.

— There is 7-19% growth on residential zoning.

— Australian banks have stringent lending policies making it almost impossible for developers to lend funds from the banks.
