Challenger Financial Services Group has put forward a proposal to unit holders of the Howard Mortgage Fund that would see around $850 million, or 40 per cent of the capital, made available for redemptions by December 2010.

"We're very pleased to put this plan to unit holders and greatly appreciate their patience while a large number of complex issues were worked through," Challenger Funds Management joint chief executive Rob Adams said.

"If approved, the plan should meet the performance expectations of our loyal, long-term Howard supporters while providing certain liquidity arrangements for both new and existing investors."

As part of the proposal, Challenger will adopt a restructuring plan that will see the fund recommence commercial lending.
