Stirling Property Funds is a funds management company focused on achieving outstanding total returns for investors.  Our key point of difference (and our advantage) is the strategic thinking that enables us to identify mispriced and undervalued assets. Strengthened by our deep expertise, we apply our active asset management approach to improve tenant mix, extend leases, execute CAPEX, and maximise floor space to increase income and drive asset value.

We are investor-centric and conservative by nature, and we always aim to outperform forecasts.
We’re incredibly proud to share that our first three funds were oversubscribed and are all outperforming original forecasts!”

Matthew Hyder, CEO, Stirling Property Funds

Investment Methodology

Stirling Property Funds has a solid investment structure that effectively aligns the interest of senior management members investing their capital alongside investors. Key executives integral to the deal flow handle the privately-owned Fund, alongside proper due diligence and exits.

Stirling Property Funds maximises investment returns by acquiring underutilised commercial assets in urban precincts undergoing renewal and focusing on Australian capital cities. This solid strategy enables investors to profit from Stirling’s deep understanding of local markets. Furthermore, the company promotes active asset management as the principal driver of capital appreciation.
