GPFG Podcast | Episode 48 – Establishing Geonet’s Retail Fund: How It’s Structured and Regulated

In this episode, Tarek Bhatti, General Manager of Geonet Australia, sits down with three experts in funds and investment: Caleb Gibbins, CEO of Cache Investment Management Australia; Dalton Grant Jnr., CEO of the Geonet Investment Fund; and Chris Hodda, Head of Assets at Geonet, to provide a clear explanation of how the Retail Fund is structured and why it matters. Geonet is currently in the process of establishing this Retail Fund as part of its continued growth and commitment to investor confidence.

The discussion outlines what the Retail Fund structure means for investors considering participation in our projects. The fund operates as a unit trust under an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL), providing regulatory oversight, compliance obligations, reporting standards, and independent trustee governance. This framework is designed to enhance transparency, accountability, and investor protection.

The establishment of the Retail Fund represents an important step in strengthening structure and confidence for investors seeking exposure to professionally managed hospitality assets.
