31 Jul 2026Firetrail InvestmentsHeldFiretrail continues to hold GemLife Communities Group as one of Henricks' top picks despite the share price having fallen around 14% this year. The fund manager sees a genuine gap in the market for over-50s living, arguing much of the current housing offering for this demographic is drab and unappealing. Under GemLife's land-lease model, residents own their home but pay rent on the land to the developer, a structure Firetrail believes positions the company well to capture demand from an underserved segment of the property market.

16 Jun 2026Wilson Asset ManagementHeldWilson Asset Management is bullish on GemLife Communities because of its vertically integrated building model and the structural tailwind from Australia's rapidly ageing population. The fund highlights that the absence of deferred management and exit fees allows departing residents to retain 100 per cent of capital gains, while land ownership provides a compounding rent roll alongside development margins. Wilson Asset Management forecasts 25 to 30 per cent earnings growth ahead, underpinned by consistent 50 per cent operating margins and a structural housing supply shortage.
