About Austock Property
Austock’s involvement in property funds
management commenced in 2000 with the creation of Ceramic Funds
Management Limited (Ceramic), as the RE of the Australian Social
Infrastructure Fund (ASIF) and the CIB Fund. In March 2007,
Austock Funds Management Ltd became the RE taking over from Ceramic
Funds Management.
In December 2004 Austock Property Funds
Management Limited (APFML) a subsidiary of Austock Group acquired
DLTX Limited. DLTX was subsequently renamed Austock Property
Management Limited (APML), the Responsible Entity of the Australian
Education Trust (AET) and the Austock Childcare Fund (ACF).
AET commenced operations in November 2002 and
listed on the ASX in May 2003 as the Peppercorn Investment Fund
(ASX:PIF). The RE at that time was DDH Graham. The Fund was
originally established as a trading trust that included both real
estate assets and childcare businesses. In December 2004,
APML became the RE taking over from DDH Graham. The Fund sold
the businesses as part of a restructure in December 2004, changed
its name to the Australian Education Trust (ASX:AEU) and converted
its activities into that of a pure property trust.
