Frequently Asked Questions

How can I invest in the Balmain AQUA Income Trusts? 
The Balmain AQUA Income Trusts are not currently accepting applications and the Product Disclosure Statement has been removed from the market since 25 July 2008. For more information please refer to correspondence dated 31 July 2008 and 30 September located on the news page of this website.

How do I make a withdrawal?
The Balmain AQUA Income Trusts have suspended redemptions on and from 25 July 2008. Since December 2008 quarterly redemption offers have been made to investors. At the unit holder meetings held in April 2010, new redemption structures were put in place and received overwhelming unitholder support. Details of the new structure’s were provided to all investors in the Notice of Meeting sent to investors in March 2010, copies of which can be found in the news section of the Balmain AQUA website.

You can change your details by writing to us, quoting your Investor ID and the details that you want to change. We have prepared a form to assist you with this, if you wish, available on the Funds Documents page of this website, or from the link below:

How do I transfer a specified amount of assets to a different account?
You are required to provide proof of whether the beneficial and/or legal ownership of the units have changed such as a stamped Standard Transfer form from the NSW Office of State Revenue, because the units are held in NSW. You will also need to provide a reference to the account the units are being transferred to and from, this can be the Investor ID supplied by Balmain AQUA which is available on the top right hand corner of your statements. A copy of the Standard Transfer Form along with instructions on how to process the transfer is available on the Forms & Guides page of this website, or from the link below.

Standard Transfer form

Since the suspension of applications and redemptions, we also require all off market transfers to also complete a separate form – with transactions processed at the discretion of the Responsible Entity for the Trusts. This is in order to ensure that both the transferee and transferor are both aware of the current status of the Trust/s at the time of the transfer. The form which is required to be completed is available on the Forms & Guides page of this website.

Off market transfer form

What documentation do I need for a change of Trustee?
Proof of the change is required. Some examples of proof include either an amendment of trust deed or a company certificate. If there is a change of beneficial owner of the assets, it will be treated as a Standard Transfer (please see above explanation).

When are distributions paid?
Distributions are generally paid monthly, within two weeks of the end of the month.

How do I notify my Tax File Number (TFN) or exemption?
All notifications of TFNs must be in writing. Collection of TFN information is authorised by the Tax Legislation and its use and disclosure is strictly regulated by the Tax Legislation and Privacy Act.

It is not an offence to choose not to provide your TFN, ABN or exemption, however if you do not, tax may be deducted from your distribution at the highest marginal tax rate.

What is the process regarding Deceased Estates?
You may attain a copy of our “Deceased Estate Requirements” from the Forms & Guides page of this website.
