This week Raiz has launched an innovative investment portfolio option: “Property” which includes a 30% weighting on residential property investment. This new investment option is aimed at helping Aussies who have previously felt locked out of residential property investment due to the steep initial costs associated with traditional property investment.
Near the end of last year, residential property was added as an investment option in the Custom Portfolio. To reach a wider range of investors, Raiz has created an investment portfolio that provides exposure to Australian residential property and ETFs.
The Raiz Property portfolio comprises ten houses located across Australia that are rented out to tenants, allowing investors exposure to rental income. Additionally, the properties will be revalued twice per year, providing investors with the opportunity to benefit from any potential capital gains. This diversified property investment strategy is unique to Raiz, offering investors the chance to invest in residential property with as little as $5 and no lock-in commitments.
For many Australians, investing in property has long been seen as a pathway to wealth creation. However, the high cost of entry has often made it unattainable for many, particularly young Australians. With the portfolio, investors can now invest in property with as little or as much as they like, making it an accessible and flexible option for those looking to diversify their investment portfolio.
The inclusion of residential property in a Raiz portfolio is significant, as it offers investors exposure to an asset class that has historically delivered strong long-term returns. Residential property investment has been a popular choice for investors due to its ability to generate rental income, while also potentially offering capital growth over time.
By offering a diversified investment strategy that includes residential property, Raiz is giving investors the opportunity to access the benefits of property investment without the high costs and complexities typically associated with direct property ownership. The ten houses in the Raiz Property Portfolio are spread across different locations in Australia, reducing the risk associated with investing in a single property/area. The revaluation of properties twice per year also ensures that the portfolio remains up-to-date with market changes.
Raiz is offering Australians a unique and accessible way to invest in residential property. With its diversified property investment strategy, flexible investment options, and managed approach, it provides investors with an alternative pathway to wealth creation. By including residential property as 30% of the investment portfolio, Raiz is tapping into an asset class that has a proven track record of delivering strong long-term returns.
To decide if investing in residential property is right for you, please read the PDS or speak with your financial advisor.

Important Information
If you have read all or any part of our email, website, or communication then you need to know that this is factual information and general advice only. This means it does not consider any person’s particular financial objectives, financial situation, or financial needs. If you are an investor, you should consult a licensed adviser before acting on any information to fully understand the benefits and risk associated with the product. This is your call but that is what you should do.
You may be surprised to learn that RAIZ Invest Australia Limited (ABN 26 604 402 815) (Raiz), an authorised representative AFSL 434776 prepared this information.
We are not allowed, and have not prepared this information to offer financial product advice or a recommendation in relation to any investments or securities. If we did give you personal advice, which we did not, then the use of the Raiz App would be a lot more expensive than the current pricing – sorry but true. You therefore should not rely on this information to make investment decisions, because it was not about you for once, and unfortunately, we cannot advise you on who or what you can rely on – again sorry.
A Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for Raiz Invest and/or Raiz Invest Super is available on the Raiz Invest website and App. A person must read and consider the PDS before deciding whether, or not, to acquire and/or continue to hold interests in the financial product. We know and ASIC research shows that you probably won’t, but we want you to, and we encourage you to read the PDS so you know exactly what the product does, its risks and costs. If you don’t read the PDS, it’s a bit like flying blind. Probably not a good idea.
The risks and fees for investing are fully set out in the PDS and include the risks that would ordinarily apply to investing. You should note, as illustrated by the global financial crisis of 2008, that sometimes not even professionals in the financial services sector understand the ordinary risks of investing – because by their nature many risks are unknown – but you still need to give it a go and try to understand the risks set out in the PDS.
Any returns shown or implied are not forecasts and are not reliable guides or predictors of future performance. Those of you who cannot afford financial advice may be considering ignoring this statement, but please don’t, it is so true.
Under no circumstance is the information to be used by, or presented to, a person for the purposes of deciding about investing in Raiz Invest or Raiz Invest Super.
This information may be based on assumptions or market conditions which change without notice and have not been independently verified. Basically, this says nothing stays the same for long in financial markets (or even in life for that matter) and we are sorry. We try, but we can’t promise that the information is accurate, or stays accurate.
Any opinions or information expressed are subject to change without notice; that’s just the way we roll.
