How it works
The HOPE Fund gives investors a new way to access the stable and solid returns of the Australian residential property market, while enabling home ownership.
We achieve this through our unique shared equity model, which puts home ownership within reach of our dedicated essential workforce community and simplifies and de-risks property investment for investors.
Benefits of investing
No upfront and ongoing property investment expenses
This investment does not incur stamp duty, rates, strata and maintenance costs for the investor.
Vetted properties and homeowners
The Fund sets tight parameters on assets and homeowner selection to meet return targets.
Hassle free
No tenancy management responsibilities – our homes are owner occupied.
Scaled access to residential property
Unitised exposure allows investment in the Fund’s diverse property portfolio, rather than being tied to a single property, as may be the case through a direct investment.
Benefits for homeowners
Low deposit
Homeowners can enter the scheme with a minimum of 2.5% deposit.
Manageable mortgage
HOPE and Police Bank ensure mortgage servicing is within 30% of household income when essential workers enter the scheme.
Close to work
Homes are located within 30 minutes commute of an essential worker’s workplace, reducing commute times and stabilising workforces in critical urban regions.

Investors apply online for units in the fund.
Funds are only deployed into assets that are:
- Vetted by HOPE’s investment committee, with purchase caps set.
- Owned and occupied by essential workers who have been vetted by Police Bank, for the purposes of acquiring and servicing a mortgage on their 50-70% share in the property.
Homeowners progressively purchase additional equity in the property at the prevailing market rate, stepping into full ownership over time. They can use a combination of savings (or the like) and mortgage top-ups in order to facilitate equity buybacks.
Equity buybacks or full sale events generate cash distributions to investors.

(A) The Portfolio Growth since inception p.a. represents the cumulative growth since HOPE Fund I portfolio inception date of 16 November 2022. Portfolio growth is determined by estimating market value of the properties within the Fund’s portfolio monthly, using CoreLogic IntelliVal (Automated Valuation Estimate) and PropTrack AVM. The change in total portfolio value is indexed from a base value of 100, established at the inception of the Fund’s portfolio, to account for the addition of new properties during the same period. The portfolio growth information does not take into account liabilities or expenses of the Fund and therefore may not reflect overall Fund performance.
(B) The CoreLogic Benchmark is derived using the ‘CoreLogic Hedonic Home Index reports’ for ‘All Dwellings’ in the Sydney market, since the HOPE Fund I portfolio inception date of 16 November 2022. This is the growth of residential real estate in the Sydney market. The detailed methodology of the CoreLogic Hedonic Home Index can be found on the CoreLogic Australia website.
