Are charter banks federal or state?
No, distributions from Charter Hall Group (ASX: CHC) are not 100% fully franked, though they typically contain a heavily franked corporate dividend component. Because Charter Hall operates as a stapled security combining a unit in the Charter Hall Property Trust with a share in the corporate entity Charter Hall Limited (CHL), its payouts are structured across both entities. The trust component passes through real estate rental income without franking credits, while the corporate funds-management earnings component distributed by CHL frequently carries partial or high franking credit percentages (often ranging between 75% and 90% depending on half-year financial results).
