credit and equity investments within Australia's Commercial Real Estate market.

Group Assets Under Management (AUM) totalled $310 million as at 31 December 2021, which included balance sheet and third-party assets. A strong pipeline of opportunities in place should see the AUM of the Group continue to grow through FY2022.

the Internalisation of Eildon Funds Management Limited (EFM) at a cost of $4.0 million, in November 2020. In addition to the $0.93 million pre-tax contribution, an internally generated fee received by EFM totalled $0.9 million for the management of Eildon Capital Trust.
