Arkana Capital

What Arkana Capital does

Arcana Capital Pty Ltd is a privately held boutique Australian funds manager founded in 2015 and headquartered in Ascot, Queensland, that facilitates direct ownership of commercial property assets for wholesale investors through discrete unit trust structures. The firm operates as an Authorised Corporate Representative of its parent company Arcana Capital Funds Management Pty Ltd, which holds Australian Financial Services Licence 518744; each property-holding subsidiary (more than 30 wholly-owned SPVs disclosed) carries its own AFSR registration, creating a multi-entity regulatory architecture. The offering is restricted exclusively to investors qualifying as wholesale clients under section 761G of the Corporations Act 2001, excluding retail and international investors.

The company's core product is a portfolio of single-asset unit trusts (e.g., 60 High St Gold Coast, Capital City Office, 17 Greenfields Blvd Mackay, 96 Reservoir Rd Adelaide) enabling investors to construct bespoke commercial property exposures rather than participate in pooled vehicles. As of April 2023 the platform managed 31 properties with an aggregate value of $212.71M, spanning Queensland, New South Wales, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory, with monthly distributions averaging 8.15% p.a. and individual asset net yields of 8.00-8.40%. The technology stack is deliberately lean: no proprietary platform has been built, and investor-facing functionality is delivered via an investor portal powered by Agora Real Estate Technologies US Inc.

Revenue is generated through management fees on the unit trust vehicles and acquisition fees on new property transactions. Go-to-market is direct enterprise-style sales to a qualified investor base, supplemented by content marketing (website, video), investor events, and earned media coverage. The board is led by Chairman Campbell Newman AO, former Premier of Queensland, which provides public-sector and political credibility relevant to securing government-anchored tenants. The firm continues to add new trusts on a deal-by-deal basis, with the most recent disclosed acquisition (60 High St Gold Coast, $17.80M) completed in April 2026.
