IPIN fund

IPIN Fund is designed to revolutionise investment in public companies by providing investors with the opportunity to participate in businesses taken public

by Unity Group through an investment in Notes offering stable and consistent returns. Funds raised from the issue of Notes will be applied by the Fund to facilitate private-to-public transactions undertaken by Unity Group, in return for which Noteholders will receive an attractive 15% p.a. yield on their investment in the Notes.


With the backing of the Unity Group of Companies and its partners, investors can have confidence in the strategy and potential returns.
