In recent years, new compliance requirements have made residential investment properties increasingly onerous to manage. If you’re a reluctant landlord looking to cash out of an investment property or you’ve got a nest egg and are looking for investment options, then First Mortgage Trust (FMT) could be for you.

Why investors choose FMT:

  • Easy to understand

FMT’s investment model sees your funds pooled with others, with FMT’s role being to actively manage the combined fund so that it is working hard for you, but without undue risk. They do this primarily by providing loans to New Zealand property owners seeking finance on a first mortgage basis. Income is derived from these loans and distributed or re-invested quarterly (after fees, expenses and tax are deducted), based on your preference.

  • Renowned for protecting capital and providing consistent and steady returns

FMT have never lost any investor’s capital and while past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance, this is something they’re very proud of, and committed to maintaining.

  • New Zealand owned, operated and focused

Living, working, and investing here means FMT knows the markets and trends first-hand. Additionally, they undertake their own research, leverage their networks and seek advice from industry experts as required.

  • Friendly and personable

FMT operates an 0800 number with ‘real people’ who can provide the answers you need, when you need them.

  • Trusted by thousands of New Zealanders

Some investors have been with FMT since they started in 1996 and testify to investment returns that continue to please.

  • Simple to start, easy to maintain

It’s simple to get started; you need only a minimum requirement of only $500 to get under way.  Thereafter minimum top-up investments of $100 (or more) can be made via lump sums or as regular contributions to suit you and your investment goals.
