Trust through clarity

FracInvest Risk Rating Methodology

Our four labels make it easier to understand how an opportunity is put together. We look at the exit plan, the people involved, the project stage, how income may be earned, and the ownership structure. This gives investors a simple starting point for comparing opportunities.

Every opportunity is reviewed on its own because the property, documents, project stage, and exit plan can be different.

How we review an opportunity

Five simple points shape every label

We look at the opportunity as a whole. Each of these five points helps us decide which label explains it best.

Exit plan

How long the opportunity may run and whether the planned exit is through a buyback, property sale, investor transfer, or another documented route.

People behind the opportunity

The experience, track record, financial capacity, and responsibilities of the developer, owner, tenant, or proposed buyer.

Project stage

Whether it involves land, a newly launched project, a completed property, or an operating property that already has a tenant.

Income plan

How rent or other distributions are expected to be generated, including occupancy, lease length, and rent increases.

Ownership structure

How the property is held, what rights investors receive, how money moves, and which agreements record these arrangements.

The FracInvest labels

Four easy-to-understand opportunity profiles

The labels help compare one FracInvest opportunity with another. They show what mainly supports each opportunity and how its income and exit are expected to work.

CoreStructured exit label
01

Planned from entry to exit

Relative range: Lower

Core opportunities begin with a clearly documented exit plan. This usually includes a stated investment period and a buyback agreement from the developer or property owner. Investors can see who is responsible for the proposed exit, the expected timeline, and the main conditions from the beginning.

What usually defines Core

  • Defined investment tenure
  • Documented developer or property-owner buyback
  • Exit conditions stated at inception
  • Clear ownership and payment structure

Details explained in the documents

  • Who will complete the buyback
  • How the agreement and payment terms work
  • The expected timeline and important milestones
  • How the proposed exit value is calculated

The opportunity documents set out the proposed exit date, value, responsible party, and applicable conditions.

PrimeEstablished developer
02

Backed by an established developer

Relative range: Moderate

Prime opportunities are generally connected with established Tier-1 developers. Their completed projects, delivery history, customer confidence, and operating experience provide a useful record to review. The planned exit is usually linked to construction progress, market demand, a property sale, or another route described in the opportunity documents.

What usually defines Prime

  • Established developer with a substantial portfolio
  • Demonstrated delivery and customer history
  • Recognised project and operating capabilities
  • Opportunity terms supported by developer execution

How the exit is generally planned

  • Market sale or another stated project route
  • Timing linked to construction and market demand
  • A suitable buyer for the property or interest
  • Project and sale milestones shown in the documents
SelectRental Income Led asset
03

Rental income from an operating property

Relative range: Lower to moderate

Select opportunities usually involve pre-leased properties that are already generating rent, most often in commercial real estate. The tenant, lease period, occupancy, and scheduled rent increases help investors understand the expected income. Participation may be through registered co-ownership or an SPV, making it possible to hold a defined interest in the property or investment vehicle.

What usually defines Select

  • Operating property with contracted rent
  • Tenant quality and lease tenure are disclosed
  • Occupancy and rent escalation support cash flow
  • Registered co-ownership or SPV structure

What shapes the profile

  • Tenant profile, lease terms, and occupancy
  • Property costs deducted from rental income
  • Whether the documents state an exit timeline
  • Property demand and valuation at the time of sale

A signed lease can make rental cash flow easier to estimate. The documents also explain how a future property sale or investor transfer may work.

AlphaEarly-stage structure
04

Early access with structured terms

Relative range: Moderate to higher

Alpha opportunities are created at an early stage, sometimes around land acquisition or before every project approval is received. Early entry may offer stronger projected growth potential than a later-stage opportunity. The structure therefore gives special importance to approvals, project execution, the people involved, investor rights, and the planned exit timeline.

What usually defines Alpha

  • Land or early project-stage participation
  • Pricing before later development milestones
  • Structured or secured contractual rights
  • Higher projected return potential

What shapes the profile

  • Status of title, approvals, and investor security
  • Experience and responsibilities of everyone involved
  • How investor funds and future payments are arranged
  • Conditions and timing of the proposed exit

How to use the labels

A simple way to compare opportunities

FracInvest uses these internal labels to organise the information available when an opportunity is reviewed. They are a comparison tool rather than a credit rating or a personalised investment recommendation. If the project, documents, lease, participants, market, or exit terms change, we can review the label again.

Use the label as a starting point, then explore the opportunity disclosure, legal agreements, property and approval details, financial assumptions, fees, projected returns, and proposed exit terms. Independent legal, tax, and financial advisers can help relate these details to your own plans.
