PFA has rolling five year investment terms. 

The fund was relaunched in August 2017 with an initial term ending in or around August 2022. Following the conclusion of the initial term, the fund will have rolling five year terms.

A unique identifier issued by APIR® to participants and products within the financial services industry. PFA’s APIR® code is MAQ5880AU (Ordinary units) and PFA0001AU (Original units issued prior 16 August 2017).

PFA is not open to daily withdrawals. 

PFA 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, PFA 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 PFA 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 PFA 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.

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

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

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 registry@charterhall.com.au.

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.

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.

Charter Hall Direct Property Management Limited (Issuer) confirms it has a legally compliant dispute resolution system that is, and will continue to be, available to retail clients who invest in the Issuer’s products via Investor Directed Portfolio Service (IDPS) or IDPS-like platforms, as if the investor was a direct investor. We confirm this includes a compliant internal dispute resolution procedure and membership of one or more dispute resolution schemes.
