Welcome to the First Mortgage Investments Scheme

Distribution rates up to 6.75%

The First Mortgage Investments Scheme is a mortgage investment scheme providing a consistent source of income to investors. The FMI Scheme is operated by First Mortgage Managed Investments Limited as the Manager and Responsible Entity.

Our company prides itself on its focus of ensuring the protection of our investor’s funds. Many of our investors and their families have trusted our company to protect their investments for over 40 years.

The benefits of investing in a mortgage investment include:

  • Security – your investment is secured by a registered first mortgage over real property
  • Fixed return* – your return is fixed during the course of your investment.
  • Monthly income – you receive interest monthly paid directly into your nominated bank account
  • Term – your investment is for a term of between 12 and 24 months
  • No entry fees – You pay no entry fees, all establishment costs are paid by the borrower.

The FMI Scheme is unlike most other mortgage schemes because:

  • Our loan portfolio concentrates on residential properties (not commercial or development). The majority of our loans are over residential and rural/residential homes and properties.
  • Most loans are under $500,000.

The FMI Scheme is a specific mortgage scheme. The advantages of a specific mortgage investment over a pooled investment include:

  • You know the address of the property where your funds are invested.
  • You are provided with specific details as to the valuation of the property.
  • Your interest return is fixed* during the course of the investment and is not subject to fluctuations or losses resulting from other loans.

*returns are dependent on the borrower meeting its obligations on time and in full.
