Investing in Central Queensland

LGIAsuper is the proud owner of the Fitzroy River macadamia farm near Rockhampton. 

Head of Investment Guy Rundle said the benefits were two-fold.

‘It’s a sound investment for our members from a financial standpoint, and also supports an industry that provides jobs and strengthens the Queensland economy.’

The investment adds to our growing agricultural portfolio which also includes the Central Queensland Livestock Exchange. Mr Rundle said the acquisition was exciting news for LGIAsuper members.

‘Over the past 10 years, our alternative investments, including agricultural assets, have provided solid investment returns and superior diversification benefits. This property is our first investment in tree nuts and complements our other assets.'
