Lifestyle Communities (ASX:LIC), a developer of land lease communities for over-50s, has seen fund managers reassess their positions amid regulatory uncertainty. In March 2026, HMC Capital exited the stock to concentrate on its highest-conviction holdings, Lendlease, Baby Bunting and Ingenia Communities.

Lifestyle Communities operates in the Financials sector within the Real Estate Management and Development industry, and Thesis Tracker has captured 15 comments from 5 fund managers, including HMC Capital. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in South Melbourne, Lifestyle Communities develops, owns and manages affordable land lease communities for downsizers and retirees across Victoria, earning recurring site rental income and development profits from new home sales.
