ARGYLE’S WATER FUND
Invests in the ownership and on-going management of a diverse portfolio of water entitlements (perpetual water rights) across several river systems and aquifers.
Argyle’s team has long understood that fresh water is the lifeblood and most limiting factor for the expansion of Australia’s agricultural sector.
We have responsibly managed direct investments in water markets since 2008 in line with the objectives of Australia’s National Water Initiative.
Our investments enable irrigation farmers to restructure their balance sheets and access a range of risk management tools to secure their future water needs.
We lease water entitlements across multi-year periods and sell annual water allocations in forward and spot markets to a diversified range of irrigated farming enterprises.
Our clients include citrus, almond, grape, cotton, rice and dairy producers.
The returns to the Argyle Water Fund are generated from our active management of annual water allocation sales and water entitlement leases. We anticipate asset values will appreciate over time reflecting the limited and capped volume of entitlements on issue in various water catchments and the increasing competition for water as a critical input to high value agricultural production.
