Djerriwarrh Investments Limited is an Australian public company (ABN 38 006 862 693) with its registered office at Level 21, 101 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria 3000, and remains an independently listed investment company (LIC) on the Australian Securities Exchange, trading under the ticker DJW as of September 2026. Public reporting by Djerriwarrh Investments Limited and by financial media indicates the company was incorporated in 1989 and has traded on the ASX since 1995; its Australian Business Number was activated on 12 April 2000, which is the ABN activation date rather than the company’s date of incorporation.

Djerriwarrh Investments Limited invests in a concentrated portfolio of large, liquid companies listed on the ASX, predominantly constituents of the S&P/ASX 50, and writes exchange-traded call options over a portion of that portfolio, typically around 30-40% of it, to generate additional premium income alongside ordinary share dividends. As at 30 June 2026, Djerriwarrh Investments Limited held 43 ASX-listed stocks with a portfolio value of approximately AUD 928 million, with its largest disclosed holdings including BHP Group, Region Group, Telstra, National Australia Bank and Woodside Energy. The company’s stated investment objective is to pay a higher level of fully franked dividend income than the S&P/ASX 200 while providing capital growth over the medium to long term.

Djerriwarrh Investments Limited reported an estimated pre-tax net tangible asset (NTA) backing of AUD 3.34 per share as at 4 September 2026, and continues to publish weekly NTA updates. It has also conducted an on-market share buy-back programme through 2026, including repurchases on 13 August, 20 August and 2 September 2026. Djerriwarrh Investments Limited’s portfolio and administration are managed by the same Melbourne-based investment team that manages Australian Foundation Investment Company Limited (AFIC), AMCIL Limited and Mirrabooka Investments Limited, and it shares AFIC’s registered office address. Djerriwarrh Investments Limited nonetheless remains a separately incorporated, separately listed company with its own board of directors, its own ACN/ABN and its own AGM and financial reporting; no completion of any scheme of arrangement, merger or acquisition folding Djerriwarrh Investments Limited into AFIC was identified, and the company’s active 2026 dividend calendar, buy-back activity and weekly NTA disclosures confirm it continues to operate and trade independently.

Shareholders

Djerriwarrh Investments Limited’s shareholder register is disclosed primarily through its own published register of largest holders rather than through Australian substantial-holder notices, since most individual holdings sit below the 5% notification threshold that triggers a mandatory public filing. Based on the company’s most recently reported holder data, the top 25 registered shareholders together hold only around 7.14% of shares on issue, indicating a widely distributed retail and institutional register typical of a long-established, internally-diversified listed investment company. The single largest disclosed holder is Australian Foundation Investment Company Limited (AFIC), reported at approximately 2.87% of shares on issue (around 7,505,455 shares) — a portfolio-style holding, not a controlling stake. Other larger disclosed holders include Margaret Frances Erskine (approximately 0.84%), Bruce Teele (approximately 0.78%), Netwealth Investments Ltd (approximately 0.41%) and The Ian Potter Foundation Ltd (approximately 0.27%).

No individual has been identified as an ultimate beneficial owner of Djerriwarrh Investments Limited. Its largest reported shareholder, AFIC, is itself a widely held, ASX-listed investment company with no single controlling shareholder disclosed, so no complete ownership chain leads to a natural-person UBO, and none of the other disclosed holders approaches a level that would indicate control.

Data availability: Major shareholders only. Djerriwarrh Investments Limited’s holder data reflects the largest positions voluntarily reported in company communications rather than a complete shareholder register; Australian disclosure rules require a public substantial-holder notice only once an individual holder’s interest reaches or moves across 5%, so smaller holdings among the remaining shareholder base are not individually itemised in public filings. The precise “as at” date for the individual holding percentages above could not be independently confirmed from a primary ASX filing during this review; the data should be treated as recent but not date-verified to the day.

Nationality is not officially disclosed for any director or officer of Djerriwarrh Investments Limited in the sources reviewed. Country of residence and correspondence addresses appearing in company records are administrative details only and are not used here to infer nationality.

Data availability: Partial. Public sources consistently confirm the current directors’ names, roles and board tenure, but appointment/resignation dates for some executive (non-director) roles, and any officer departures during 2026, could not be fully corroborated from a primary ASIC or ASX filing in this review, so the officer information above should be treated as current-only rather than a complete historical record.

Group Structure

Djerriwarrh Investments Limited is an independent, separately listed public company. No parent company has been identified for it in official filings: it holds its own ACN/ABN, has its own board of directors, and files its own annual report, AGM notices and continuous disclosures with the ASX. Djerriwarrh Investments Limited’s portfolio and administrative functions are managed by the same Melbourne-based investment team that manages Australian Foundation Investment Company Limited (AFIC), AMCIL Limited and Mirrabooka Investments Limited, and Djerriwarrh Investments Limited shares a registered office address (Level 21, 101 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000) with AFIC. This shared management and address does not, by itself, establish a corporate parent-subsidiary relationship, and no filing was identified showing AFIC or any other entity holding a controlling equity stake in, or exercising corporate control over, Djerriwarrh Investments Limited.

AFIC is separately disclosed as Djerriwarrh Investments Limited’s largest reported shareholder, holding approximately 2.87% of shares on issue — an investment holding, not a majority or controlling interest. No subsidiaries of Djerriwarrh Investments Limited were identified in the sources reviewed.
