The Australian economy has been resilient against the negative the effects of the global financial crisis.

At the same time, there have been significant reductions in commercial lending in Australia over the last 12 months creating a shortage of venture capital and development capital available to companies and individuals looking to fund their development projects.

Therefore, investors able to bring funds to, or to enter as joint venture partners with, Australian developers can enter at below market rates and enjoy strong returns.

Using our local market knowledge APIMG seek to identify commercial, industrial, residential and high rise opportunities tailored to each particular APIMG client.

How We Source Projects

We do not seek retail opportunities but work on a ‘principal to principal’ basis to source off market and strategically positioned investment opportunities for our clients.

This means that we connect the investor directly to the project principal and facilitate this relationship where ever necessary and desired. APIMG then sources all necessary professional services to ensure the investment transaction is completed by the top Australian professionals in each specialist area.

Who We Represent

APIMG does not act for one particular developer, or one superannuation fund, or one property trust. APIMG sources and promotes only the strongest opportunities that can be best understood in a matrix of future government infrastructure spending, Australian market fundamentals and local knowledge and experience.

Why Invest In Australia

You may decide to invest into Australia to achieve a global presence, enter the Australian market through a ‘brand building’ investment opportunity, move your family and capital to a strong, stable and secure economy or simply diversify your portfolio.

By investing at the wholesale level into Australia, you take advantage of the strong Australian dollar and economy. These profits can then be reinvested in Australia or invested outside of Australia leveraging off international currency movements as they occur.

At APIMG our goal is to source and facilitate the investment opportunity that brings strong returns and if necessary, is structured to facilitate both investment and migration aims of our clients.

What About Skilled Migration To Australia?

Achieving Australian permanent residence through independent skilled migration to Australia is becoming increasingly more difficult and therefore, less attractive as an option for applying to migrate permanently to Australia.

Australia’s future migration policy will be based on the premise that if you have an employer in Australia willing to sponsor you, we will give you a visa!

At the same time as this current Federal Government is closing the gates on skilled migration, they are actively encouraging and facilitating foreign investment into Australia. Your investment can be structured, if so desired to create a potential migration pathway for you, your partner and children.

Years to Process and No Certainty of Outcome

Skilled Applicants to Australia now face a wait of up to 3 year before a decision on their Australian visa application can be expected.

Further uncertainty is created for visa applicants who are experiencing ongoing changes to the Australian migration law, since having lodged their applications that impact upon processing times, eligibility and ultimately the decision whether to grant the Australian permanent residence visa to the visa applicant or note.

This means that strategies for migration to Australia that are based on the investment into, or purchase of, businesses, real estate and other commercial opportunities in Australia, are far more beneficial for the high net worth individual and skilled professional.

Our strategy is to work within Australian government migration and foreign investment policy to structure outcomes that both bring benefit to the Australian economy and achieve the APIMG client’s own investment and migration goals.
