The Kinsmen Group was established in 1985 by an experienced group of Adelaide's leading property and engineering professionals to "pursue the strategic development of business opportunities through the provision of a broad range of property services".  Over the first 24 years of its history, Kinsmen has had a successful track record of delivering quality property developments and strong returns to its investors.

In December 2008, a change of ownership saw the founding shareholders depart.  Kinsmen is now owned by Community Life Limited, an ASX listed company and the senior executives of Kinsmen.  This change allowed generational evolution at Kinsmen, while retaining the key skills and culture of the company.  It also brought a strong parent company, new skills and new opportunities to Kinsmen.  The current owners intend to build on the past success of Kinsmen and to expand its activities into managing funds for institutional investors, as well as maintaining Kinsmen's traditional retail investor base.

As of 1 April 2009, Kinsmen has over $75 million of assets under management.  These assets are located in South Australia, Northern Territory, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, and span residential, industrial, commercial and retirement villages.

Kinsmen is dedicated to applying its skills and abilities in a principled manner and placing our investor's interests at the core of our business.
