Dear Securityholder,
This has been a year of challenges for business and society. With a backdrop of weak economic growth, bushfires and the onset of COVID-19, we have all been forced to adapt and respond to an uncertain external environment. Against this backdrop, I am pleased to report that Charter Hall has enjoyed strong momentum by focusing on its strategic pillars of Access, Deploy, Manage, and Invest.
Dear Securityholder
Financial Year 2020 will be remembered by many as the year COVID-19 arrived and the significant changes this brought. As for many organizations, FY2) was a year of two halves for Charter Hall, with the first half characterised by strong FUM growth driven by acquisitions and net valuation increases, with the second half seeing more subdued acquisition led growth and stabilising valuations as a result of Covid 19. Pleasingly overall, FY20 delivered $10 billion of FUM growth , continued outperformance for our fund/partnership investors and strong earnings growth for shareholders.
