New investment platform Arkus allows Australians to invest in property for just $1
In a groundbreaking move to democratise investment in property-backed mortgage funds, GPS Investment Fund Limited has launched Arkus™, a retail investment platform designed to make investing accessible to all Australians. The platform allows individuals to start investing with as little as $1, a sum that is less than the cost of a soft serve ice cream.
Arkus aims to dismantle the traditional barriers that have kept many Australians, from teenagers to retirees, on the sidelines of the investment world. "Arkus is about lowering the barriers to smart investing," said Shelby Clark, Chief Operating Officer of GPS Investment Fund Limited. "We believe everyone, not just experienced or high-net-worth investors, should have the opportunity to build wealth through real assets. We wanted to take what GPS Invest does best and make it accessible to everyone, because we all work hard for our money and deserve for it to work hard for us."
The platform leverages the trusted, property-backed investment model that GPS Invest has honed over the past 30 years, offering secure, income-generating investment opportunities. Arkus currently provides a target rate of 6.5 percent per annum, paid monthly, and allows investors the flexibility to contribute weekly, fortnightly, or monthly in any amount they choose. Importantly, it also offers the ability to withdraw funds monthly, giving investors the freedom to start small, grow steadily, and maintain access to their money without being locked into long-term commitments.
For Wynnum resident Emma, 38, Arkus has opened the door to a world she once thought was out of reach. "My brother started investing when he was young," she explained. "He’s done everything - stocks, blue-chip shares, even an Australian honey company. I always loved hearing about it, but no matter how many times he explained, I never really understood it." Despite her brother's encouragement, Emma never felt investing was within her budget or grasp. However, Arkus changed her perspective. "When I looked into Arkus, it just made sense. I understood it straight away," she said. "I ran it past my brother, and he thought it was great too."
Emma's experience with Arkus has turned investing into a family affair. "My family each has an account. My two teenagers are putting in their own money and building it up themselves. I like how this has provided an opportunity for them to consider their finances," she noted. Her brother and parents have also opened accounts, attracted by both the platform's accessibility and its affordability. "A big attraction for Arkus was that I understood it! Bonus points were that it's affordable to not only me, but anyone could find a $1 on the street and start themselves too," Emma added.
The launch of Arkus is a significant milestone for GPS Investment Fund Limited, which has long specialised in property-secured mortgage investments across Southeast Queensland. Richard Woodhead, Founder & Managing Director of GPS Investment Fund Limited, highlighted the company's commitment to inclusivity. "The launch of Arkus marks a significant milestone in the company’s mission to make financial growth more inclusive. GPS Invest has long specialised in property-secured mortgage investments across Southeast Queensland, maintaining a record of no retail investor capital losses*, the result of a disciplined approach and deep expertise in construction lending. With Arkus, we’re extending the same reliability to a new generation of investors through a modern, easy-to-use platform offering accessibility and flexibility."
Arkus is now available to the public, offering a new pathway for Australians to engage with property investment. Interested investors can access the Product Disclosure Statement on the GPS Invest website or contact the company for more information. As the platform gains traction, it promises to transform the landscape of property investment in Australia, making it more inclusive and accessible than ever before.
