Frequently asked questions
Does New Ground Capital invest outside New Zealand?
No, based on all available public disclosures the firm invests exclusively in New Zealand. The build-to-rent strategy is explicitly designed around New Zealand's housing market. The impact funds are framed as addressing challenges 'in New Zealand and beyond,' but no specific offshore investments are identified.
Does New Ground Capital participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm structures its own investment vehicles — housing funds and impact funds — rather than committing to third-party funds. Deployment is direct into the development and management of residential real estate assets. There is no indication of a fund-of-funds program or external manager selection.
