Discover the Ease of First Mortgage Trust’s Investment Approach

Are you searching for an investment that offers peace of mind and requires minimal effort?

Look no further than First Mortgage Trust.
At First Mortgage Trust (FMT), our proven investment model is easy to understand, simple to get started, and our funds are backed by over 1,200 quality properties across New Zealand.
> How does FMT work?

FMT is a pooled managed investment scheme. This means that your investment is pooled with those of thousands of other investors. Then, through careful due diligence and numerous checks and balances, we lend out those funds, securing them against first mortgages on quality properties located across New Zealand. We also hold cash investments for liquidity.

Interest generated from our loan portfolio is distributed quarterly to our investors, after fees, expenses, and taxes are deducted, providing a steady and reliable income stream.

 

> A Legacy of Trust and Growth

Since 1996, FMT has been at the forefront of active investment management. Our growth, including the establishment of offices in key  locations across NZ, ensures we stay attuned to the local markets. Prioritising investor interests, our lending team maintains a conversative approach to risk.

This disciplined strategy has been fundamental to our success for over 28 years, and is proudly reflected in our record of zero investor capital losses – a testament to our commitment to safeguarding your investment.

 

> Real People, Real Connections

Our investors tell us they love our approachability and transparency. We are always  reachable via phone and email, and provide regular updates through quarterly newsletters and annual investor meetings.

This personal touch sets us apart and ensures you are always well informed.

 

>Making Investment Accessible

Our goal is to make investing with us straightforward, with no large initial investment required. Starting with as little as $500, you can become part of our investor community. Additional funds can be added at any time, and your funds aren’t locked in for a fixed period, although we recommend a minimum investment duration of two years.

 

> Proudly Kiwi, Through and Through

Our operations are New Zealand based. By investing with us you are investing in a fund that delivers a conservative investment strategy and consistent investment returns, and you’re also helping to provide property finance that supports local people, communities and businesses.

 

> Your investment makes a real difference right here at home.

In addition, the funds always hold cash investments (liquidity) with New Zealand banks to help ensure cash is available to repay investors when needed.
