Dexus Wholesale Australian Property Fund*

A diversified commercial property fund with a focus on income


Dexus Wholesale Australian Property Fund (DWAPF) is an open-ended fund that aims to provide stable returns and long-term capital growth through investment in a diverse portfolio of quality Australian office, retail and industrial properties. It targets assets in major metropolitan markets with high occupancy rates and stable income streams, underpinned by long-term leases with secure commercial tenants.

DWAPF has a long track record of paying reliable income distribution and achieving solid returns using low debt. The fund differentiates itself through the provision of bite-sized access to a large and diversified commercial property portfolio that is usually not accessible to smaller investors. 

This fund is suitable for Financial Advisers, Direct and Wholesale Investors. It is a complying investment for the purpose of the Significant Investor Visa (SIV) program.

    The fund is designed for investors seeking an investment that provides a regular and sustainable distribution with capital growth over the long term.

  • Description of target market for this fund

    This product is likely to be appropriate for a consumer seeking capital growth and regular income, to be used as a small allocation within a portfolio where the consumer has a medium-to-long investment timeframe and a low-to-medium risk/return profile.

  • Withdrawal frequency 

    Withdrawal requests are generally processed monthly according to specified withdrawal dates. Generally, withdrawal requests will be paid within six months of the specified withdrawal date, but may take up to 12 months, or longer, as allowed under the fund's constitution.

    The fund may be suitable for a consumer with a low-to-medium risk profile, seeking to minimise potential losses (e.g., has the ability to bear up to two negative returns over a 20-year period (SRM 3)) and is comfortable with a moderate target return profile.

What are the risks?


All investments involve risk and you should consider investment risks before making an investment decision. The risks specific to the fund may include or be associated with:

  • Property investments - factors such as the quality of underlying properties, types of property (such as retail, commercial, office or logistics), tenancy and vacancy rates and geographic location may affect the fund's performance
  • Liquidity - assets subject to liquidity risk may be difficult to trade and it may take longer for their full value to be realised, and in circumstances where the fund's portfolio ceases to be liquid for Corporations Act purposes, there may be significant delays or a freeze on withdrawal requests. Market conditions may adversely impact the liquidity of assets held in a fund portfolio.
  • Interest rates - may adversely change and impact the fund's performance including the risk of capital loss in a rising interest rate environment
  • Gearing - has the effect of magnifying the fund's returns, both positive and negative
  • Derivatives - the use of derivatives may magnify any losses incurred
  • Share market investments - the value of the fund's investment in listed securities may decrease or be more volatile as a result of adverse share market movements

Prospective investors should refer to the Derivative Risk Statement (which can be obtained by contacting us) before making an investment. The ‘Risks of investing’ section of the Product Disclosure Statement for this fund provides further information about the risks noted above, as well as information about other investment risks of which you should be aware.
