Adviser Edge put the fund on hold in October last year after the financial services company suspended redemptions in response to a flight to cash by investors.
Challenger recently made investors withdrawal offers to which they can respond until 20 February.
The company will continue to offer a limited withdrawal amount based on the available liquidity at the end of each quarter.
"Mortgage trusts are likely to outperform cash and term deposits in the long term," Adviser Edge property analyst Eduardo Tellez said, explaining the reinstatement.
Tellez would conduct a formal review of the fund in the second half of this year and would keep the fund and the mortgage sector on watch, he said.
