Material Contracts

The Trust Deed establishes the Trust and governs the rights and obligations of the Unitholders and the powers of the Trustee.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Deed, the Trustee may determine to create and issue Units of different classes with the rights, obligations and restrictions specified in their terms of issue. Each Unit gives Unitholders an equal and undivided interest in all of the Trust’s assets. However, subject to certain exceptions a Unit does not give an interest in any particular asset of the Trust and does not entitle Unitholders to have any asset of the Trust transferred to them. Subject to the Trust Deed, Unitholders have the right to share in any distributions, the right to attend and vote at meetings of Unitholders and the right to participate in the proceeds of winding up of the Trust.

The Trust Deed should be read by prospective investors. The following is a list of some of the key provisions:

  1. procedures for application and redemption of Units;
  2. issue and redemption price;
  3. valuation of assets;
  4. distributions;
  5. Trustee fees;
  6. powers, rights and duties of the Investment Manager;
  7. retirement or removal of the Investment Manager;
  8. the holding of meetings of Unitholders;
  9. limitation of liability and indemnity of the Investment Manager; and
  10. winding up and termination of the Trust.

The Trust Deed shall not be amended unless the Trustee reasonably considers that the amendment will not adversely affect the rights of Unitholders.

If the Trustee reasonably considers that the amendment will adversely affect the rights of Unitholders, the Trustee will call a meeting of Unitholders who may, by special resolution, approve the amendment.

The Trust Deed also contains provisions regulating the holding of meetings of Unitholders.

By signing the Application Form, you will be bound by the Trust Deed. We recommend you review the terms of the Trust Deed and seek independent professional advice to understand the implications for you as a Unitholder.

A copy of the Trust Deed is available upon request.

The Management Agreement (Management Agreement) is the primary document that appoints the Investment Manager as the exclusive investment manager of the Fund. It outlines the powers of the Manager in managing the portfolio and its obligations to the Fund and Trustee.

In terms of portfolio management, the Management Agreement outlines the investment guidelines and strategy and the structure of the Investment Committee. The Management Agreement also outlines the basis for valuing the portfolio and the permitted investments and also the reporting requirements to the Trustee.

The Manager's appointment, including the fees payable and timing of payment to the Manager are also covered by the Management Agreement.

The Management Agreement otherwise contains terms and conditions that are considered standard for an agreement of its nature.
