About

The Balmain Opportunity Trust (BOT) is designed to allow investors the opportunity to participate in asset classes that are usually the preserve of institutional investors.  These asset classes range from simple commercial mortgages through to structured corporate debt.  The common theme is that these exposures are secured by real assets.

Balmain Opportunity Trust is managed by the Balmain Group (Balmain), Australia’s largest and longest established commercial private credit manager.  Launched in 1979, Balmain has focussed on commercial real estate lending and has arranged over $40bn in commercial loans for both our borrowers and our investors.

BOT was specifically established by the Trustee to meet the needs of high net worth and self-managed super fund investors who seek investment exposures and sources of income from asset classes outside of those traditionally available to private investors.  BOT is especially well suited to investor’s seeking inflation hedged investments where capital maintenance and monthly income are both available.  Investments can be made at any time and funds invested can be withdrawn in full twice a year. Investors may also withdraw up to 10% of their investment at any time during any financial year.

BOT invests in a range of debt-related investments as described in its Information Memorandum.
