DIF4 is not open to daily withdrawals. 

DIF4 is an illiquid investment and investors should expect to redeem their investment in the fund only when it is wound up or when there is a Liquidity Event. 

As per the fund's product disclosure statement, DIF4 provides Limited Withdrawal Offers and Liquidity Events. 

Limited Withdrawal Offers are intended to be made every six months, subject to the fund having available liquid assets. Liquidity Events will be offered at the conclusion of each five year investment term.

Please refer to the Liquidity section of the Investor Centre and the product disclosure statement for additional information.

Units in DIF4 are also transferable and investors may elect to sell their units privately. 

We cannot assist investors to find a buyer for their units. However if an investor does find a willing buyer and negotiates the sale of their units, a standard transfer and application form will need to be completed by each party and sent to our registry for processing. Forms are available for download on the Documents & Forms page.

A Limited Withdrawal Offer is a way for us to assist investors who wish to access their capital by offering an opportunity to redeem their investment. 

As per the DIF4 product disclosure statement, Limited Withdrawal Offers are intended to be made every six months, subject to the fund having available liquid assets. 

Charter Hall intends to notify investors of upcoming Limited Withdrawal Offers via the quarterly report. Additional details will be published under the Liquidity section of the Investor Centre.

To participate in a Limited Withdrawal Offer, investors will need to complete a withdrawal form and submit completed forms to the registry for processing. Withdrawal forms will be made available for download in the Investor Centre once a Limited Withdrawal Offer has opened.

To check correspondence has been received, please go online to InvestorServe at any time. Alternatively, you can call our registry on 1300 137 895 to request confirmation of receipt. Please ensure you provide your investor number when making any enquiries about your investment. 

Any forms received after a Limited Withdrawal Offer has closed will not be counted or valid and will not receive a redemption.

The amount you receive from a Limited Withdrawal Offer will depend on the total value of all requests received. As a result, the amount you receive may be less than the amount you have requested. If the total value of requests from investors exceeds the amount available, you will receive a percentage of your requested amount.

The option to reinvest your distributions is only available to Australian or New Zealand resident investors and only applies to DIF4 Ordinary Units. Please refer to the Distribution section of the Investor Centre and the product disclosure statement for additional information.

Unfortunately DIF4 does not currently have the ability to offer withdrawals based on hardship.

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

• Joint holding with a surviving holder. Please complete the Surviving Holder Form instead.

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 [email protected].

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.
