Scott Marinchek will announce next Wednesday the first new investment fund to specialize in the retirement village and aged care sector since the meltdown of the investment model of Babcock & Brown/Macquarie Bank et al in September 2007. Called Aviiid Third-age Living, (that is with 3 `is in the name - being three people or a community), it expects to have between $450 and $700 million already invested by approximately April next year.

Scott Marinchek kick started Aviiid by purchasing the Mariner Finance Third Age Living business, of which he was Executive Partner.
