Oreana has launched its Early Education Fund, aiming to raise A$60 million over the next six months to acquire high-quality early education assets from its property division. The fund is available to wholesale and institutional investors.
The launch marks the next phase of Oreana’s investment strategy in Australia, following the recent introduction of its investments business and the earlier launch of its Professional Partners Fund.
Oreana has operated in the early education sector for more than 13 years, with expertise spanning asset selection, construction and operations. The company is also a strategic investor in Aspire Early Education, further reinforcing its presence in the sector.
The fund will be managed by senior development manager and Head of Early Education Developments Michael Swinnerton, alongside development manager Zac Dawson.
“This is an important milestone for our business as we continue to expand our offering to the Australian market. We have experience in the identification, development, construction and management of early education assets which allows us to mitigate risks and capitalise on opportunities with greater confidence,” Oreana CEO – Investments Luke Moore said.
“As an integrated business our projects are commenced with the end in mind. We have “skin the game” and we are committed to delivering quality assets that reflect what the end client needs from early in the design phase.
“Which is why we believe this is a compelling opportunity for investors in an essential sector primed for growth. Now is the right time given the economic cycle - as interest rates have started to come down this will likely deliver additional returns to investors. We have all the elements to deliver a market leading fund in this space and are bringing this strategy to investors offering a new way to gain exposure to the early education sector.”
