Liquidity

The Fund remains open and has five-year investment terms. This information is for investors looking to redeem their investment.

As per the product disclosure statement dated, Charter Hall Direct PFA Fund provides Limited Withdrawal Offers and Liquidity Events. 

Limited Withdrawal Offers

Limited Withdrawal Offers are intended to be made every six months, subject to the Fund having available liquid assets. Limited Withdrawal Offers are notified via the quarterly report and published on this website.

An investment in the Fund should be considered illiquid between Liquidity Events. Limited Withdrawal Offers are a secondary, limited, mechanism for Investors to redeem Units and should not be relied upon to provide liquidity. They are generally satisfied on a proportionate basis, with Investors receiving only a percentage of their requested withdrawal amount.

There are currently no Limited Withdrawal Offers open. Limited Withdrawal Offers are not currently being made, given that the 2022 Liquidity Event for PFA is ongoing.

Liquidity Events

Liquidity Events will be offered every five years. Subject to its obligations at law, the Responsibility Entity will endeavour to provide liquidity for all investors wishing to redeem all or some of their investment.

The 2022 Liquidity Event is progressing, but not yet complete. Redemption requests will continue to be satisfied on a proportional basis until they are satisfied in full.

The next Liquidity Event is expected to occur in August 2027 and all investors will be notified at that time.

General information about liquidity 

PFA is an illiquid investment and is not open to daily withdrawals.

When a Limited Withdrawal Offer or Liquidity Event is open, a form will be available on this website. Please note that withdrawal or liquidity forms are not general and are specific to each offer.

When participating in Limited Withdrawal Offers or Liquidity Events you can go online to InvestorServe to confirm that your form has been received or you call the registry on 1300 137 895 to request confirmation of receipt. Any forms received after the close date will not be valid

The amount you receive when you participate in a Limited Withdrawal Offer or Liquidity Event is the number of units you redeem multiplied by the unit price as at the date of payment, less any sell spread. All offers maybe cancelled, deferred, scaled back or suspended in exception circumstances. Refer to the PDS for further details.

How do I administer a deceased estate?

You are required to provide written notification to note the death of an investor on our register.  

The death of an investor can be notified by sending either:

  • a letter from a solicitor;
  • a letter from the executor on letterhead; or
  • a certified copy of the death certificate.

Please also send new bank account details with the written notification if they are required.

Once the notification has been made, there are two options: apply to redeem the investment or keep the investment by transferring it to a surviving holder or beneficiary.

Option 1: Apply to redeem the investment

From July 2021, a deceased estate's holdings can be redeemed at any time, subject to certain limits, including a maximum request of $500,000 per investor per fund. The following entities are eligible to make a deceased estate redemption request:

  • Individual holding where the individual is deceased
  • Joint holding where all holders are deceased
  • SMSFs where all members are deceased

The following entities are not eligible for deceased estate redemption requests:

  • Companies
  • Trusts
  • SMSFs with individual trustees with surviving members
  • SMSFs with a corporate trustee with surviving members

If eligible to request a redemption, please complete the Deceased Estate Withdrawal Request Form (Direct) and provide all required supporting documentation described in the form. Please note, all supporting documentation relating to notification of a deceased estate must be certified copies.

Redemption requests are reviewed at the beginning of each month. If the request is approved, payment will usually be made around 30 days after approval is granted. Redemptions will be processed on or around the 15th of each month using the unit price that day minus the sell spread. It is not possible to backdate a request.

Deceased estate redemptions may be cancelled, deferred, scaled back or suspended in exceptional circumstances such as where it is impracticable to offer liquidity or it would not be in the best interests of remaining investors for liquidity to be offered.

Please send all documentation to the Charter Hall registry team at registry@charterhall.com.au.

Information for financial advisers

For investments held on wrap platforms, the redemption request can be managed by the wrap platform directly using the Deceased Estate Withdrawal Request Form (Wrap) or you can transfer the investment off wrap to a direct holding and deal with Charter Hall directly. Please contact your local BDM for further information.

Option 2: Transfer the investment to a surviving holder or beneficiary

If you are ineligible to request a redemption, your application to redeem is not approved or you wish to keep the investment for other reasons, you need to transfer the investment to a surviving holder or beneficiary. Please see below for what to provide depending on the holding type.

Individual account (Australian unitholding) with probate:

  • Certified copy of Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration (required for all holdings valued at more than $20,000)
  • s1071B form (if applicable – this is only relevant if a probate is obtained outside Victoria, where the units are registered, to ensure that probate has not been applied for in more than one state or territory)
  • Standard transfer and application form

Individual account (Australian unitholding) without probate (only possible if the holding is valued at less than $20,000):

Can I transfer my holding to another entity or person?

Yes, a transfer takes place when you decide to sell all or part of your investment to another person or entity. 

A transfer is a change of ownership of units within the same fund. A separate standard transfer form is required to transfer your holding for each registered holding.  

Please seek financial advice. 

The standard transfer form can be found on our Documents & Forms page. 

Please note that when a transfer takes place, our registry treats this as a new holding, even if it is a simple name change with the same trustees or company directors. Therefore all banking details, tax file numbers, Australian business numbers (ABNs) and adviser details will need to be provided on the new transfer form.

How do I notify Charter Hall of my tax file number (TFN)?

If you do not provide your tax file number on your original application form, you can provide it at any time in the future. Please note it is not compulsory to quote your TFN, however withholding tax will be taken from any payments from Investors who elect not to provide their TFN. These investors will then be required to claim the withholding tax through their annual tax return. The tax file number form can be found on the Documents & Forms page.

What is a certified document and who can certify a document?

If you are required to submit a certified copy of any original document, an authorised person needs to certify that the copy is a true copy of the original. A document can be certified by one of the following persons:
