Dear Securityholder,
Financial year 2021 (FY21) continued to challenge global economies and businesses, with the COVID-19 pandemic persisting as we closed out the year. Despite these challenges, Charter Hall generated record fund growth and equity inflows across the business.
Dear Securityholder,
This financial year, we continued to face challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite some reprieve, much of the year saw disruptions for many businesses. While the pandemic itself is still far from over, I was impressed to see our people working closely with our customers and communities to navigate the challenges and create positive outcomes.
At Charter Hall, we believe that the best investments begin when people and businesses work together towards shared goals. That's why over the past 30 years, we've worked tirelessly to build better futures by developing mutually successful relationships with many of Australia and the world's best-known companies.
