Why being boutique, bespoke and niche outperforms traditional credit markets
05 August 2025
Jonathan WeinstockInvesting in FarmCap, a boutique fund manager provides an outperformance return.
Here are the top 7 reasons why:
1. Access to the best curated opportunities – we receive 50-70+ incoming loan enquiries per month consistently from a national network built over 8 years and say ‘no’ to 90% of leads which never make it to investment committee. We see deals ‘first’ hand as our brand is recognised as the ‘go to’ for non bank farm finance.
2. Deep sector knowledge and experience – having now looked at almost 2000 transactions in farming, we know ‘in minutes’ if a deal may or may not stack up with disciplined execution.
3. Hit the ground – given we meet every farmer on their land, we know each deal and the borrower intimately ‘warts and all’. Personalised and detailed diligence leads to clean transactions with no surprises and our track record speaks for itself. This level of commitment to the sector is rare. Each week you will find us in a farming region across Australia.
4. Higher yields. Higher returns. Very limited players in our sector enables us to maintain premium rates and offer premium returns as we can charge a premium for capital scarcity while taking lower risk. Many other funds are required to take more risk and drop their rates to remain competitive.
5. Understanding the underlying asset class and robustness of agricultural real estate is not as well understood by investors in other traditional real estate sectors and this provides significant opportunity. Access to asymmetrical information (deal, industry and security specific) enables us to take advantage of market inefficiencies and achieve alpha consistently.
6. Being ‘off platform’ provides wealth managers an opportunity to stand out with a unique and bespoke offering to their clients – with exclusive access to private market opportunities not widely accessible.
7. Direct access to our investment team. Boutique enables personal service and access to our knowledge, detailed credit analysis with transparency and open communication.
Boutique and niche will always outperform and we welcome your due diligence.
