My site (http://www.moneymagik.com/) will give you some insight into Trilogy and into Balmain (as part of Balmain Trilogy). It's mostly factual with little comment.
The following link relates to one moment in the life of Trilogy and Balmain Trilogy:

As I've posted before, Trilogy took information relating to its Healthcare REIT off its website, but here's a link with excerpts from the fund's annual reports:

Here's excerpts from Philip Ryan's breach of trust matter (together with the ASIC case against him and others whereby an employee was found guilty of fraud).

A fund not mentioned by Trilogy in its CV is:
http://moneymagik.com/dee_why_new.php
Trilogy came to the PFMF full of promises, but the outcome is that we've lost 42% ($177m) off the value when Trilogy took over the fund.
It's thirty days since Trilogy filed the fund's financials with ASIC but it's hasn't posted those financials on its website for investors to read.
In the six months up to 31 December 2011, the fund lost $67.5m!
On 30 August 2011, Trilogy responed to an anonymous letter sent to investors. The letter said (in part) something like "Trilogy was unable to deliver $295m by October 2012". Here's Trilogy response:
http://www.balmaintrilogy.com.au/pdf/BTI 4882 Unitholder Letter.pdf (see Top of Page 4)
"Balmain Trilogy has kept Unitholders fully advised of the Fund's capital repayment program (which relies on asset sales) including a detailed asset review sent to all Unitholders in June 2011.
Notwithstanding some delays in recoveries, Balmain Trilogy is confident that it can still achieve the target of returning $295m by October 2012 and that it will complete the April 2011 and October 2011 scheduled repayments by December 2011.
We are aware of the inconvenience caused due to the delays in capital repayments. To date Trilogy has not received in full its management fee from April 2011 to maximise cash availability for Unitholders." (emphasis added)
In relation to the last paragraph, Trilogy didn't waive any of its fees, Trilogy merely delayed getting hold of them. In fact, in the two a half years of managing the fund, Trilogy was paid, or was entitled to be paid, about $15.4m! A very pretty penny indeed.
Trilogy did not complete the April 2011 and October 2011 scheduled repayments (or capital) by December 2011. In fact it repaid $0.01/unit and not the represented $0.08/unit.
And as at 31 December 2011, Trilogy is $131.49m shy of the qualified $295m (assuming no further losses/gains in fund value).

The main speaker in both cases is Andrew Griffin of Balmain Trilogy.
Here's just about all the relevant documents relating to the PFMF:

The biggest problem with information is that if it's not able to be easily and readily assessed, then members will forget about it.
If any of you would like a page for your fund on moneymagik, then I'm happy to provide it - to provide ready access to links and documents, but comment would not be permitted. Don't worry, I won't be the least bit offended if you don't want to.
Nevertheless, if you're interested in getting to know more about Trilogy and Balmain Trilogy (a construct by both Balmain & Trilogy - http://www.balmaintrilogy.com.au), then there's a lot of reading to be done.
