A Sydney-headquartered private credit firm that has extended millions of dollars to embattled publican Jon Adgemis has told investors they cannot redeem money from its safest fund because repayments from property developers that had borrowed money are overdue.
Seventy per cent of loans in Gemi Investments’ $300 million First Mortgage Fund are to commercial real estate projects. The Australian Financial Review reported in June that Gemi had stopped redemptions from another fund.
