Since 2010 the fund has provided a loan facility to help finance domestic film and TV productions via a partnership with Fulcrum Media Finance.
This alternative investment has earned members an approximate overall eight per cent per annum return since its launch, and the 50 per cent increase represents an ongoing confidence that Media Super has with the financing model.
Local productions that have previously benefitted from Media Super’s investment include the highly successful television series Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries and feature films Wish You Were Here and Not Suitable For Children.
“Since this cash flow facility was launched, Media Super has invested millions and has helped to finance a range of high quality domestic film and TV productions. It is a profitable and productive investment,” Graeme Russell, Media Super’s chief executive said.
