Farm Mortgages Ltd was incorporated on the 31st August 1978, under its former name, Temanwyn Holdings Proprietary Ltd in order to hold as a Trustee Nominee the Mortgages previously managed by Arthur E. George & Sons, Solicitors in Camperdown, for very many years.
The name of the company was changed on 8th November 1994 to Farm Mortgages Pty Ltd to reflect the increasing specialisation of the company and to provide an easier name to pronounce. It was then converted to an unlisted public company on 12th November 1999 to operate as the Licensed Responsible Entity of the FML Mortgage Fund under the legislative changes which came into operation on 17th December 1999.
The Australian Financial Services Licence was granted on 29th July 2003 under the Financial Services Reform Act. Farm Mortgages Ltd is also the custodian of the Fund and as such is required to deal with Fund property and operate the Fund in a diligent manner and perform the functions conferred on it in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Fund Constitution ("Constitution").
