Midlands Income Wholesale Fund vs PG Conservative Fund

The most material structural difference is asset class and strategy. Midlands Income Wholesale Fund is a dedicated private credit vehicle lending against New Zealand real estate, secured by first mortgages with a maximum LVR of 75%. PG Conservative Fund's source document does not specify its underlying asset class, lending policy, or security arrangements, leaving those dimensions incomparable on current disclosures.

Access terms diverge sharply. Midlands requires a NZ$100,000 minimum investment and is explicitly wholesale-only, while PG Conservative Fund sets its minimum at NZ$1,000, suggesting a materially broader investor base. Midlands carries a documented gate provision: where withdrawal requests on the same holding exceed 5% of units on issue within any three-month window, the manager may defer or stage redemptions — a liquidity risk investors should weigh. PG Conservative Fund's PDS does not disclose equivalent gate or redemption mechanics.

On return expectations, Midlands states a target of "income return pre-tax (but after fees and expenses) at a level which exceeds the average 3 month term deposit rate advertised by all relevant New Zealand registered banks." PG Conservative Fund discloses no target return figure in the extracted data. Both funds are structured as PIE trusts and both flag PIR eligibility, though for PG Conservative Fund these fields are marked not_on_file rather than verified from the source document. Midlands launched in July 2021 and is supervised by Trustees Executors Limited; PG Conservative Fund's supervisor is The New Zealand Guardian Trust Company Limited, with no inception date on file.

Always verify these details against each fund's current source IM or PDS before relying on this comparison.
