The Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) may grant operators of property funds the ability to provide an early withdrawal mechanism for investors where there is hardship, in preference to all other investors. DOF has received relief from ASIC to pay redemption requests received by investors who are suffering financial hardship. If you qualify for financial hardship, you may be able to access some or all of your investment.
The minimum withdrawal amount is $1,000 (subject to change and management's discretion). If a withdrawal request is received which would result in you holding less than the minimum withdrawal amount and your hardship redemption meets the ASIC criteria, your entire investment may be redeemed.
The maximum withdrawal amount investors can apply for through a hardship request is the lesser of:
Different application processes apply dependent on the investor type.
Indirect investors:
Where a person has invested indirectly through an entity such as a superannuation fund, master trust or wrap account (also referred to as an Investor Directed Portfolio Service or ‘IDPS’), please refer to the documentation and processes pertaining to the IDPS.
A hardship application must be made on behalf of the person who is seeking a withdrawal based on hardship. This is done by completing the appropriate withdrawal application form and attaching it to the hardship statutory declaration completed by the individual experiencing the hardship.
The superannuation fund, master trust or wrap account investor must comply with any obligations under the terms of the relevant trust or arrangement under which it acts and all other applicable laws.
Direct investors:
For direct investors in the fund, please note that an investor must have exhausted all other avenues to access sufficient funds including applying for financial hardship through the investor's superannuation fund and applying to Centrelink for assistance. This information is to be attached to a hardship withdrawal application form and mailed to the fund's registry.
An investor suffering from hardship must:
Send the relevant forms and supporting documents to:
Charter Hall Direct Property Management Limited
GPO Box 2704
Sydney NSW 2001
Each hardship claim is assessed on an individual basis according to the ASIC hardship criteria and supporting documentation.
Applications for hardship are reviewed at the end of each month, so it is important to have all relevant documentation submitted before that time. If a hardship request meets the ASIC criteria and is approved, payment will be made as soon as practical and will usually be around 30 days after approval is granted.
It is intended that hardship redemptions will be available to investors whilst the fund has sufficient liquid assets required to operate the fund in the best interests of all investors. The hardship policy may be suspended, cancelled or modified at any time.
If a hardship redemption is approved, the withdrawal of units in the fund will be based on the sell price at the date of approval. See the Unit price section for the latest available unit price.
Yes, you can apply for redemption under the hardship policy in addition to applying for redemption under a withdrawal offer. Please note a redemption request under the hardship policy is subject to additional criteria.
Yes. Holders of Retail, Wholesale and Ordinary units may elect to have their holding reclassified as Wholesale A units. Conditions apply. Please consult your adviser, then contact us on 1300 652 790 or email directproperty@charterhall.com.au for further information.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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:
What must the certifier do?
The certifier must confirm the copy is certified as a true copy of the original documentation and clearly state their name, category and date of certification. An example of appropriate certification wording is:
“I certify this (and the following pages each of which I have signed/initialled) to be a true copy of the document shown and reported to me as the original.”
Please note certification is only accepted if within two years of the date of certification.
If you have appointed an adviser on the application form or by using the adviser appointment form, your investment may be subject to an adviser professional fee for service as mutually agreed and instructed to us on the form. The fee can be a percentage of the application amount or a dollar value. If no adviser is appointed there will be no fee deducted. Please contact your adviser for more details or our registry on 1300 137 895.
Individual taxation outcomes as a result of a withdrawal will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, exit price, length of investment, and the structure of the investing entity.
Charter Hall is unable to provide taxation advice. We recommend that investors seek taxation advice regarding any withdrawal proceeds.
