Charter Hall Direct Convenience Retail Fund (DCRF) is an open-ended, unlisted property fund providing access to a defensive Portfolio of high-quality non-discretionary convenience-based retail properties through its investment in the Charter Hall Convenience Retail Fund (CCRF), an institutional pooled fund managed by Charter Hall Group.
The Fund provides investors an opportunity to co-invest alongside over $3 billion of institutional domestic and offshore capital, with a +$3 billion portfolio.#
DCRF offers at an attractive entry point to the convenience retail sector at a strategically opportune time in the market cycle, supported strong population growth and a historically low supply pipeline.
Income strength and resilience is underpinned by quality tenants on long-term leases, providing exposure to some of Australia's leading retail brands.
Convenience retail is centred on non-discretionary, everyday needs - places where Australians shop regularly for essential goods and services. This helps provide consistent demand across economic cycles, making it a resilient core sector within the broader property market.
