Goodman Property Trust is listed on the New Zealand Exchange (NZX), so you can buy units just like you would buy shares through your adviser, stockbroker or an online broker.
GMT
The Ex Distribution Date is the date on which Goodman Property Trust’s Units trade the current ex entitlement to distribution. Unitholders who are on the unit register immediately prior to the Ex Distribution Date are entitled to receive the distribution for that period. The Ex Distribution Date is one business day before the record date for that entitlement.
Quarterly distributions for the periods ending 30 June, 30 September, 31 December and 31 March are paid within three months of the quarter end.
As a listed PIE (Portfolio Investment Entity) GMT is taxed at 28% and distribution payments are not required to be reported to the IRD. If a New Zealand resident individual investor, or New Zealand Resident Trustee has a resident withholding tax rate lower than 28% they may benefit from manually adding the fully imputed portion of these PIE distributions to their tax returns.

Dividends are paid to shareholders by companies out of their profits. Distributions are paid to Unitholders by trusts, like the GMT. Distributions are usually made up of income, e.g. rental income.
A property trust is an investment vehicle which pools the money of many investors so they can share in the returns of a wide spread of property investments. For example, Goodman Property Trust’s industrial portfolio has a book value of NZ$3.8 billion at 31 March 2021. When investors buy units in GMT, they are effectively acquiring a share of the ownership of these assets. The returns from these assets are largely comprised of the rental income paid by customers and are distributed to Unitholders. In the case of GMT, distributions are paid quarterly.
A trust is “listed” when its units are quoted (or listed) on a stock exchange. The units of GMT are listed on the NZX. As these units are actively traded each day, their value will rise and fall according to market conditions.
Yes GMT is a listed PIE. Under the PIE regime, Unitholders benefit from the tax deductions of GMT and most Unitholders (including New Zealand resident individuals and New Zealand resident trustees) will have no further tax to pay on their distributions. A component of distributions is excluded income for tax purposes and the balance is imputed at the company tax rate of 28%.
