The SIV program, which is open to all foreign investors, is targeted in particular at high net worth Chinese nationals. The applicants are required to invest at least $5 million in compliant products for a minimum of four years, after which they can claim permanent residency.

"We are confident that the SIV programme will have important added benefits on the broader Australian economy. The SIV is designed to attract both strategic capital investment and sophisticated entrepreneurs, which will invariably have a positive impact," the publication Avi Naidu, managing director of AFM, as saying.

AFM has appointed McGrath Estate Agents as strategic advisor to its Australian Core Property Fund.
