You are investing in the same fund but you have a choice whether you hold unlisted units via the responsible entity (RE) or buy the listed units on the ASX in the same way you buy other publicly listed ETFs and shares.

Exchange traded managed funds are actively managed by fund managers to generate alpha and outperform relevant benchmarks. They are also sometimes known as active Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), Exchange Quoted Managed Funds (EQMF), listed managed funds or quoted managed funds.

Exchange traded managed funds will aim to beat the benchmark using a number of active investing strategies. They operate in a similar way to traditional managed funds but have the benefit of transparent, live intra-day pricing and market making ability which ensures liquidity.

Investors invest in the exchange quoted managed funds by using a stockbroker, financial adviser or share trading platform.

To invest via the ASX – You can buy and sell units in RCAP via your online share trading platform, your stockbroker or your financial adviser.

The avenue by which you invested in the Fund, either via buying units from the RE or via the ASX, does not restrict how you can redeem your investment.

Please note that there are differences when you redeem via the RE or by sell on the ASX including the price you may receive. You should read the PDS or speak with your adviser before you decide which avenue you use.

To redeem via the ASX – Log into your share trading platform and issue a sell order, just as you would for any listed ETF or share. This is a straightforward process if you have a Holder Identification Number (HIN) associated with your holding. If have a Securityholder Reference Number (SRN), ask your stockbroker if they can sell your units on your behalf. If they are unable to do that, you will need to ask your stockbroker or trading platform if they can convert your holding into a HIN after which you will be able to sell your holding via the ASX.

To redeem via the responsible entity (RE) – You can redeem part or all of your investment at any time by completing a Redemption Request Form can be found within the Fund Documents and Forms section of the relevant Fund page on our website and submit it direct to the Registry by fax or post as per the details provided on the form. You will need to provide your Investor Number (SRN) on the redemption form. If you have a Holder Identification Number (HIN) instead, you will need to convert your holding from a HIN to an SRN with the assistance of your stockbroker or online trading platform.

Alternatively, you can redeem online at rescap.com/client-login via the online investor portal.

When will my redemption request be processed?

Please refer to the PDS and note that when you redeem, your units will be redeemed based on the exit price for the business day on which your redemption request is processed. Redemption requests must be received by the Registry prior to the cut-off time 12.00pm Sydney time. Redemption requests received after that time, or on a non-business day, will be treated as being received on the next business day.

Are there any exit fees?

No, Resolution Capital does not charge entry or exit fees on any of its products.

Can I change the bank account details that are currently held by the Registry on the redemption request instruction?

You may update your bank account details at the same time as submitting your redemption request by using the Redemption Request Form. Please note that proceeds cannot be made to third party bank accounts. The nominated bank account name must be in the same name as the investor(s).

Invest via the ASX – You can buy additional units in RCAP via your online share trading platform, your stockbroker or your financial adviser.

Why do I have to provide tax certifications?

Tax evasion is a global problem and international cooperation and sharing of high quality, predictable information between revenue authorities will help them ensure compliance with local tax laws. Australia is participating in both the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (‘FATCA’), which was enacted by the United States (U.S.) Congress and the Common Reporting Standard (‘CRS’), which was developed by the OECD.

FATCA
Australia and the US have signed an Intergovernmental Agreement (‘IGA’) to implement the FATCA requirements in Australia. Under the IGA, Australian financial institutions report to the Australian Taxation Office (‘ATO’) and the information is made available to the IRS. The Fund is therefore required to request information from you to determine whether you are a US Person or Specified US Person and where applicable, provide information to the ATO.

You may review the ATO website and the IGA or consult your tax advisor should you wish to understand the implications or compliance obligations of FATCA to your particular circumstances. The Responsible Entity and the Fund are not liable for any loss an investor may suffer as a result of the Fund’s compliance with FATCA.

CRS

Under the CRS, we are required to determine the country in which you are a ‘tax resident’ (this will usually be where you are liable to pay income taxes). If your tax residence (or the Controlling Person) is located outside of Australia, we may be legally obliged to pass on the information in this form and other financial information with respect to your financial accounts to the ATO and they may exchange this information with tax authorities of another jurisdiction or jurisdictions pursuant to intergovernmental agreements to exchange financial account information. Even if you have already provided information in relation to FATCA, you may still need to provide additional information for the CRS as this is a separate regulation.
Providing your tax certifications will ensure that we hold accurate and up to date information about your tax residency.

You may review the ATO website and the IGA (FATCA) and the OECD automatic exchange of information portal (CRS) or consult your tax advisor should you wish to understand the implications or compliance obligations of FATCA and CRS to your particular circumstances. The Responsible Entity and the Fund are not liable for any loss an investor may suffer as a result of the Fund’s compliance with FATCA and CRS.

Can I attach self-certification forms (e.g., W-8BEN-E and CRS forms) instead of answering the tax certification questions on the Application Form?

Yes, for non-individuals, we do accept original or certified copy of self-certification forms.

Can I have more information on FATCA and CRS related terms?
