2324 GMT - Charter Hall has been rather light in revaluing its assets relative to peers, and that could bite it in the June quarter, according to Morgan Stanley. Its Charter Hall Prime Office Fund only revalued some 34% of its assets in March, says MS, citing data from MSCI/Mercer. That compares to 95-100% of wholesale office funds managed by peers. "This manifested in devaluation (net capital return) of -0.5% at CPOF, versus average of -5% across other unlisted wholesale office funds," analyst Simon Chan says in a note. "As such, there is a chance that Charter Hall will endure more punitive devaluation in the June quarter." Elsewhere, Charter Hall Prime Industrial Fund has revalued only 50% of assets.(david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
