We help people with capital build real, tangible wealth through disciplined property investment. Not through a managed fund you'll never understand. Not through a diversified portfolio of other people's problems. Through direct, structured access to a clear strategy — executed by people who invest alongside you.
Manly Private Wealth is a private investment group focused on residential property in Australia's high-growth corridors. We structure our investments through properly constituted unit trusts, giving investors access to institutional-quality deal flow and execution with full transparency on every decision and every dollar. We are not a fund manager with hundreds of clients and a glossy product disclosure statement.
We are a small, focused group that moves quickly, reports clearly, and puts our own money where our strategy is.
Our first series — Manly Real Estate Trust Series 1 targets well-located Gold Coast houses with dual dwelling potential. The approach is straightforward: buy what makes sense, add a quality secondary dwelling, create two rental streams from one title, and distribute income quarterly to investors.
Before founding Manly Private Wealth, Anthony Manly spent years working across business strategy and consulting helping business owners and executives sharpen operations, improve profitability, and execute on growth. That background taught him to think clearly about risk, structure things with discipline, and focus ruthlessly on execution over theory.
Through that work, Anthony noticed the same story playing out repeatedly: capable, intelligent people who had built or sold businesses, and suddenly had significant capital with nowhere good to put it.
Super funds gave them a statement once a year and a number they didn't control. Managed trusts charged fees they couldn't decode for returns they didn't understand. Buying property themselves meant agents, builders, councils, and a second full-time job they hadn't signed up for.
That gap between capable investors and genuinely good opportunities is exactly what Manly Private Wealth exists to close.
Anthony's approach to property is an extension of his approach to business: buy what makes commercial sense, don't over-leverage, report what's actually happening, and make sure everyone's interests are aligned from day one. He co-invests in every Trust series alongside unit holders. If the strategy doesn't work, he loses too.Our mission is straightforward yet powerful:
Manly Private Wealth works with a small, carefully selected group of investors.
Typically, these are people who:
• Have sold or are preparing to exit a business, and want their capital deployed with the same discipline they applied to growing it
• Are high-income professionals seeking passive property income without the headache of directly managing a property
• Have invested in managed funds before and want more visibility, more control, and less mystery around where their capital is working
• Understand that quality investment takes time, and are comfortable with a 3–5 year horizon in exchange for meaningful income and equity upside We are not for everyone.
The minimum investment for Series 1 is $75,000. Positions are limited to fewer than 10 investors. The offer is structured under a personal offer exemption under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) which means we have conversations with real people, not strangers on the internet.
If that sounds like the right environment for your capital, we'd love to talk.
