Fund Features at a Glance

Investment and Other Risks There are a number of risks that may affect the value of your investment. At the date of this PDS some of the key risks include, but are not limited to: • Volatility Risk

Generally the higher the potential return for your portfolio the higher the risk, and the greater the chance of substantial fluctuations in returns (including the possibility of losses) that may occur over time (especially over shorter periods of time). For example, between July 2007 and the date of this PDS, equity markets experienced sharp declines and heightened volatility, with some markets experiencing volatility at very high levels. Investing in periods where highly volatile conditions exist implies a greater level of risk for investors than an investment made in a more stable market. There is no guarantee whether or when, as an asset class, equity markets will return to their historically lower volatility levels. You should carefully consider this additional volatility risk before making any investment in a fund.

• Market Risk

Equity market risk refers to generalised market-wide changes in prices of securities. The Fund takes equity market exposure in order to achieve its investment objective, however this may result in loss of principal or large fluctuations in the unit price, sometimes over short periods of time. Factors that drive changes in share prices include changing profitability of companies, sectors, industries, economic cycles, volume of share issuance, investor demand levels, business confidence and government and central bank policies.

• Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the Australian Dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of a fund’s investments to decline significantly. This risk is present within the Fund as it generally will not hedge its currency exposure.

• Company/Issuer Specific Risk

This risk is inherent in a particular company’s performance due to factors that are pertinent to that company, the sector of the market to which the stock belongs, or the share market generally. These factors may cause a stock to perform adversely and where a fund has exposure to that stock, may reduce the value of a fund.

For a full description of these and some other significant risks please see the Risks section later in this document. You should read the Risks section in full and seek your own professional advice in relation to an investment in the Fund.

About the Investment Manager • About the Fund

About the Investment Manager The investment manager of the Fund is Wellington Management Company, llp (Wellington Management, Investment Manager). Wellington Management, based in Boston, Massachusetts, traces its origins to 1928, and is one of the oldest and largest investment management firms in the United States of America. Wellington Management is a private limited liability partnership owned by 107 partners, all of whom are full-time professional members of the firm. This ownership structure has enabled Wellington Management to assemble one of the most talented and stable teams of investment professionals in the industry, which provides consistency and continuity of its investment approaches. As at 30 June 2009, Wellington Management managed A$554 billion of client assets worldwide, including A$261 billion in equity securities, A$218 billion in fixed interest securities, and A$75 billion in balanced/multi-asset securities.

Fundamental Research at Wellington Management With approximately 490 investment professionals, proprietary research is the cornerstone of Wellington Management’s investment philosophy. Making independent evaluations and establishing research priorities are central to the firm’s ability to identify superior return opportunities. Research is used solely to generate investment ideas for client portfolios. Career research professionals work hand-in-hand with portfolio managers in the investment decision-making process. Research analysts have, on average, 15 years of investment experience. Wellington Management’s culture, which places high value on analysis as a career path, and the firm’s dedication to proprietary research, have created an unusually deep and knowledgeable research staff with relatively low turnover. This stability supports continuity in the investment approaches and ensures consistency for clients. Portfolio managers are supported by one of the industry’s largest and most highly regarded research teams, consisting of equity, global industry, credit, macroeconomic, quantitative, technical, and asset allocation analysts.

About the Fund Investment Objective The Fund seeks to provide long-term total returns in excess of the MSCI World ex Australia Index.

What does the Fund invest in? The Fund will primarily invest in publicly traded, or soon to be listed, equity securities issued by companies domiciled outside of Australia, including emerging markets.

Investment Philosophy The underlying investment philosophy of the Fund is based on the belief that equity markets overreact to both positive and negative information in the short term, resulting in a company’s share price not reflecting its longer term fundamentals. Wellington Management seeks to buy stocks that it believes to be undervalued relative to their longer term potential.

Investment Process The investment process of the Fund focuses on analysing the outlook of companies to create a portfolio of stocks that Wellington Management believes provide above-average total return potential and generally trade at below-average valuations. Investment decisions are based on in-house company research and valuation analysis. The country and sector allocations within the Fund are a result of the stock selection process.

Currency The Fund is denominated in Australian dollars and is unhedged. However, currency hedging may be used in certain circumstances with the aim of protecting against currency volatility. Such use of currency hedging is at the discretion of the Investment Manager.

About the Fund

Foreign Exchange and Derivatives

Fund Performance

The Fund is permitted to carry out foreign exchange transactions to facilitate the purchase and sale of securities and the collection and transfer of income as well as to implement currency hedging.

Performance history and Fund size information can be obtained from: • www.macquarie.com.au/performance;

Derivatives are securities that derive their value from one or more underlying assets. Derivatives (such as swaps, futures and options) are not typically used in management of the Fund, however, the use of derivatives is permitted. The Fund may use derivatives to facilitate settlement of stock purchases and to take active currency positions. Derivatives will not be used for leverage or gearing purposes.

Ethical Investments Investment decisions are based on fundamental research, market and economic factors and do not specifically take into account labour standards or environmental, social or ethical considerations. However, these considerations may be taken into account if they have the potential to materially affect the value of the investment, but no specific methodology is applied.

Borrowing Although there are no limits on borrowing, the Fund does not currently intend to enter into longterm borrowing. However, from time to time short-term borrowing may occur, for example, to manage overnight cash flows or for extraordinary or emergency purposes.

• your IDPS operator To calculate the performance of the Fund, the Responsible Entity complies with the standards set by the Investment and Financial Services Association. Performance figures are calculated before tax and after deducting ongoing fees and expenses, using net asset value prices, assuming that income is reinvested and that the investment is held for the full period. The performance figures are historical and past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance. Returns can be volatile, reflecting rises and falls in the value of the underlying investments. For investors investing via an IDPS, the net performance of your investment in the Fund may be different from the information the Responsible Entity publishes, due to cash flows specific to your portfolio and any fees charged by the IDPS operator.

Key Benefits of Investing in the Fund • The Fund employs a time-tested investment process utilising a systematic, risk-aware approach to portfolio construction. • Investors gain access to Wellington Management’s team of experienced investment professionals and in-depth proprietary research. • The Fund offers investors access to a diverse opportunity set of equity securities in global equity markets. • The Fund offers investors the potential to reduce investment risk through global diversification of investments.

Risks

Risks There will always be the risk of fluctuations in the value of an investment. Generally, the higher the expected return of an investment, the higher the risk and the greater the variability of returns. While the risk management objective for the Fund is to deliver risk/return outcomes in line with investors’ expectations, no assurances or guarantees on future profitability and returns, distributions and return of capital can be given. The most common risks are described below, but there could be other risks that affect the performance of the Fund. You should seek your own professional

advice on the appropriateness of this investment to your circumstances. A financial adviser can explain these risks and provide advice based on your financial objectives, time frame for investing and attitude to risk. Please ensure that you consider the risks of investing in the Fund, including those set out in the following table. As well as considering the risks, you should also consider how an investment in this Fund fits into your overall investment portfolio. By diversifying your investment portfolio, you may reduce your exposure to failure or underperformance of any one investment, manager or asset class.

Investment and Other Risks There are a number of risks that may affect the value of your investment. At the date of this PDS some of the key risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

6

Volatility Risk

Generally the higher the potential return for your portfolio the higher the risk, and the greater the chance of substantial fluctuations in returns (including the possibility of losses) that may occur over time (especially over shorter periods of time). For example, between July 2007 and the date of this PDS, equity markets experienced sharp declines and heightened volatility, with some markets experiencing volatility at very high levels. Investing in periods where highly volatile conditions exist implies a greater level of risk for investors than an investment made in a more stable market. There is no guarantee whether or when, as an asset class, equity markets will return to their historically lower volatility levels. You should carefully consider this additional volatility risk before making any investment in a fund.

Market Risk

Equity market risk refers to generalised market-wide changes in prices of securities. The Fund takes equity market exposure in order to achieve its investment objective, however this may result in loss of principal or large fluctuations in the unit price, sometimes over short periods of time. Factors that drive changes in share prices include changing profitability of companies, sectors, industries, economic cycles, volume of share issuance, investor demand levels, business confidence and government and central bank policies.

Currency Risk

This is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the Australian Dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of a fund’s investments to decline significantly. This risk is present within the Fund as it generally will not hedge its currency exposure.

Company/Issuer Specific Risk

This is the risk that a particular security’s performance may be impacted by factors that are unique to that company or issuer. These factors may cause a security’s return to differ from that of the market. This exposure can cause the Fund to outperform the market, however it can also lead to underperformance.

Liquidity Risk

Some investments are difficult to purchase or sell, preventing the Fund from closing out its position or rebalancing within a timely period and at a fair price. While every effort is made to meet all Fund redemptions, in certain circumstances redemption requests may not be able to be met when received.

Foreign Investment Risk

Foreign investment risk exists for those securities which are listed on foreign stock exchanges. This risk exposes the investments of the Fund to a range of macroeconomic factors which are unique to the country of investment/operation, and may include factors such as political instability, differing tax or legal rulings and potentially rapid changes in asset prices (particularly for emerging economies).

Risks

Investment and Other Risks (continued) Emerging Markets Risk

Investing in securities of issuers based in countries with developing (or emerging market) economies carries risks different from, or greater than, risks of investing in securities of companies in developed countries, including: • increased social, economic, and political uncertainty and instability • smaller market capitalisation of securities markets • increased risk of illiquidity • significant price volatility • restrictions on foreign investment • less governmental supervision and regulation • risk of a government policy, or regulation or intervention adverse to the interests or rights of private sector companies • less developed legal systems • differences in standards for transparency of fiscal reporting • differences in tax or legal rulings

Investment Manager Risk

Fund performance is dependent on the Investment Manager, and the Investment Manager’s investment strategies. If the investment strategies do not perform as expected, if opportunities do not arise for the strategies to be implemented, or if the Investment Manager fails to implement the investment strategies successfully, there is a risk that the Fund will underperform. This underperformance may be relative to similar portfolios, relative to the market, or absolute. There is no assurance that the Investment Manager’s investment strategies will be successful, or that previously successful strategies will continue to be successful in the future. The Investment Manager, in consultation with the Responsible Entity, may make changes to the investment strategies where it considers it necessary to do so.

Concentration Risk

This is the risk that poor performance in a particular region, industry, portfolio, security or other grouping will significantly affect the performance of the Fund, due to that Fund having a higher level of exposure to that grouping. This risk is increased for funds that hold a smaller number of investments, as concentrations are more likely to be significant.

Derivative/ Leverage Risk

Derivatives are leveraged instruments that are used to obtain or reduce market exposures. As the market value of derivatives is variable, gains or losses can be incurred and can be greater than unleveraged positions. Over-the-counter derivatives incur additional risks, such as documentation risk and counterparty credit risk. Derivatives are not typically used in management of the Fund, however, the Fund may use derivatives: • as a hedge • as an alternative to buying and selling the physical security • to manage currency risk, and/or • to take advantage of opportunities for profit To reduce the risk of leverage, Wellington Management ensures that short derivative positions are backed by a matched amount of similar physical assets and long derivative positions are backed by a matched amount of liquid assets such as cash equivalents.

Unlisted Securities Risk

The price of securities that are not listed on a stock exchange may be volatile, and there may be delays and/or losses when selling unlisted securities due to liquidity constraints.

Counterparty Risk

Counterparty risk is the risk of loss due to counterparty default. Counterparties include option writers (grantors and sellers), brokers of exchange traded futures and options, clearing brokers for exchange traded futures and options, foreign counterparties and swap and structured deal counterparties.

Product Risk

The Responsible Entity, in consultation with the Investment Manager, may make changes to the Fund at any time, including: • closing or terminating the Fund • changing the Fund’s investment objective or investment strategy • changing the rules that govern the Fund (e.g., changing fees) In some cases, such changes can occur without prior notice to investors.

Fund Termination Risk

This is the risk that the Responsible Entity may terminate the Fund. In this event an investor may not be able to find a similar investment.

Fees and Other Costs

Fees and Other Costs The information in the tables below is required by law and is designed to help you better understand the fees and costs associated with the Fund. Did you know? Small differences in both investment performance and fees and costs can have a substantial impact on your long-term returns. For example, total annual fees and costs of 2% of your fund balance rather than 1% could reduce your final return by up to 20% over a 30 year period (for example, reduce it from $100,000 to $80,000). You should consider whether features such as superior investment performance or the provision of better member services justify higher fees and costs. You may be able to negotiate to pay lower contribution fees and management costs where applicable. Ask the fund or your financial adviser.

To find out more If you would like to find out more, or see the impact of the fees based on your own circumstances, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) website (www.fido.asic.gov.au) has a managed investment fee calculator to help you check out different fee options.

This table shows fees and other costs that the unitholder may be charged. These fees and costs may be deducted from the unitholder’s money, from investment returns or from the Fund’s assets as a whole. These fees do not include any fees that may be charged by the IDPS operator. Taxes are set out in the Tax section of this PDS. You should read all of the information about fees and other costs because it is important to understand their impact on your investment. Type of Fee or Cost

And, for every $50,000 you have in the Fund you will be charged $550 each year.

Management Costs3

EQUALS

Cost of Fund.

If you had an investment of $50,000 at the beginning of the year and you put in an additional $5,000 during that year, you will be charged fees of $5504. What it costs you will depend on the fees you negotiate with your fund or financial adviser.

The Responsible Entity is required to use examples based on an additional contribution of $5,000. However, please contact your IDPS operator for details on the actual minimum additional investment amount that applies to your investment in the Fund. 2 You also may incur a Buy/Sell Spread when your money moves in or out of the Fund. See the Buy/Sell Spread section under Additional Explanation of Fees and Costs. 3 Additional abnormal expense recovery may apply — see the Expense Recoveries section under Additional Explanation of Fees and Costs. 4 This amount assumes a constant investment balance of $50,000 throughout the year. Management costs will also be charged in relation to any additional contributions you make during the year and the total amount you pay will depend on the proportion of the year during which the additional contributions are invested. 1

• a maximum switching fee of 5.0% of the value of the investment switched; • a maximum management fee of 5.0% per annum of the amount invested; and • a maximum performance fee rate of 50% of outperformance.

Management Costs Management costs represent the total ongoing management fees and other costs, for which the Responsible Entity is entitled to be paid or reimbursed from the Fund. The Constitution of the Fund allows the Responsible Entity to charge an ongoing management fee of up to 5% per annum of the value of the Fund’s assets plus GST, calculated daily and payable monthly. The Constitution also allows the Responsible Entity to be reimbursed out of the Fund’s assets to the extent such payment or reimbursement is not prohibited by the Corporations Act, for all expenses incurred by the Responsible Entity in relation to the proper performance of its duties.

Expense Recoveries Normal and ongoing expenses include, but are not limited to: fund accounting fees; Responsible Entity service charges; custody fees; registry costs; audit fees; legal fees; tax consulting fees; postage and printing costs. Wellington Management currently chooses to pay these expenses out of its portion of the management fee and does not seek reimbursement from the Fund.

Additional Explanation of Fees and Costs

Reimbursement also may be claimed from the Fund for abnormal expenses, such as the cost of unitholder meetings, litigation, special valuation of assets and the costs of terminating the Fund. These abnormal expenses are not generally incurred during the day-to-day operation of the Fund and are not necessarily incurred in any year. However, the Responsible Entity does not pay these abnormal expenses out of the management fee. If they arise, the Responsible Entity reserves its right to deduct these expenses from the Fund.

Buy/Sell Spread There is a difference between the application and redemption unit price quoted on any Business Day, referred to as the ‘buy/sell spread’. To ensure that existing investors do not continually bear the transaction costs resulting from the applications or redemptions made by other investors, the Responsible Entity charges investors the buy/sell spread when they transact. The buy spread is added to the Net Asset Value per unit when units are applied for to reflect the estimated transaction cost of acquiring the underlying investments. The sell spread is subtracted from the Net Asset Value per unit when units are redeemed to reflect the estimated transaction costs of disposing of the underlying investments.

Cost

Application

+ 0.25%

$125.00

Redemption

The size of the buy/sell spread may be varied from time to time without notice, to ensure that nontransacting investors are not adversely impacted by the application or redemption transactions of other investors. For example, a different amount or estimate may apply when brokerage costs or the difference between the bid and offer prices for assets change. In stressed and dislocated market conditions, the buy/ sell spread may increase significantly. Any revised spread will be applied uniformly to transacting investors while that spread applies. The Responsible Entity, in consultation with the Investment Manager, may, at its discretion, vary the size of the buy/sell spread from time to time without notice to reflect the true transaction cost on the date the underlying securities are traded. Reinvested distributions do not incur the buy/sell spread.

Adviser Service Fee

It is important to note that the buy/sell spread is a transaction cost payable by your IDPS operator and retained by the Fund. The buy/sell spread is not a payment to the Responsible Entity or the Investment Manager. Further, the buy spread will not necessarily be the same as the sell spread.

You may agree to pay your adviser a fee for any financial advice that they provide to you. However, these are separate to any fees the Responsible Entity charges in respect of your investment in the Fund, as set out in the Fees and Other Costs table earlier in this document.

In calculating this spread, the Responsible Entity, in consultation with the Investment Manager, takes into account the estimated transaction costs which, in their view, are applicable from time to time. These transaction costs may comprise brokerage, stamp duty, foreign exchange hedging and the buy/sell spread (being the difference between the bid and offer prices) on exchange traded and non-exchange traded transactions.

Commissions and Soft Dollar Payments

In normal market conditions the buy/sell spread estimate will be + 0.25% of the unit price for applications and - 0.25% of the unit price for redemptions. The following example is based on an application or redemption of $50,000 and an estimated buy/sell spread of +/- 0.25%, which is indicative of an estimated spread in normal trading conditions. This may not be the applicable spread at the time of your IDPS operator’s application or redemption of units.

10

Buy/Sell Spread

The Responsible Entity does not pay any commissions to your financial adviser. However, Wellington Management may make, or cause to be made, to the dealer group to which your adviser belongs and your IDPS operator, certain payments or other non-monetary benefits such as business and technical support, professional development and entertainment. These payments and benefits are not an additional cost to you. The Responsible Entity also maintains a register in compliance with the Industry Code of Practice on Alternative Forms of Remuneration summarising alternative forms of remuneration that is paid or provided to advisers. If you would like to review this register, please contact Macquarie Funds Group Client Service on 1800 814 523, 8.30am to 6.00pm Sydney time, Monday to Friday.

Additional Explanation of Fees and Costs

Wellington Management and their delegates and associates may receive, and are entitled to retain, research products and services (known as soft dollar benefits) which are of demonstrable benefit to Wellington Management’s clients including the Fund (as may be permitted under applicable rules and regulations) from brokers and other persons through whom investment transactions are carried out (brokers) provided that the quality of transaction execution is consistent with best execution standards. Wellington Management will consider several factors deemed relevant in determining whether a broker will provide best execution, which include, among others, the provision of research products and investment ideas and introduction to potential investee companies, access to investment opportunities and initial public offerings and placements which are for the benefit of the Fund. The commission rates charged by brokers in these circumstances may be higher than those charged by other brokers who do not offer such services or by the same broker if it only provides execution services. Examples of research products and services that Wellington Management may receive from brokers include analyses and reports concerning industries, securities, and economic factors and trends. The Fund generally will pay customary full service brokerage rates where execution, research and other services cannot be unbundled for the same commission rate. In particular cases where execution, research and other services can be unbundled, the Fund will pay a brokerage commission that is discounted from customary full service brokerage rates if no research or other services are provided in addition to brokerage execution. In addition, Wellington Management has the discretion to cause the Fund to pay brokerage commissions in excess of discounted rates, and up to full service brokerage rates, for quality brokerage execution and the provision of research or other appropriate services that Wellington Management determines to be beneficial to Wellington Management’s clients including the Fund. Wellington Management may pay brokers commissions for effecting Fund transactions in excess of amounts other brokers would have charged for effecting similar transactions if Wellington Management determines in good faith that such amounts are reasonable in relation to the value of the research and other services provided, viewed in terms of the particular transaction or Wellington Management’s overall duty to its clients.

Differential Fees On behalf of the Responsible Entity, Wellington Management may negotiate reduced management fees and performance fees as permitted by the Corporations Act and ASIC relief. For example, on behalf of the Responsible Entity, Wellington Management may negotiate reduced fees with sophisticated and professional investors, as defined in the Corporations Act, including IDPS operators. There is no set manner or method of negotiating fees. For further information please contact Wellington Management.

Related Party Transactions The Responsible Entity and Wellington Management may deal with Macquarie Group when investing on behalf of the Fund. Macquarie Group may receive commissions during such transactions. Related companies of Macquarie Group may also be dealing as principal or dealing on behalf of other funds which are under the management of Macquarie Group. Where Wellington Management invests money for the Fund, it deals with the other party to any transaction on arm’s length terms. Macquarie Group Limited and its related companies (Macquarie Group) is a global provider of a diversified range of services to clients including banking, financial, advisory, investment and portfolio management services. Macquarie Group acts on behalf of institutional, corporate and retail clients and counterparties around the world. Neither the Responsible Entity nor Wellington Management generally has any control over the activities of Macquarie Group. As a result, it is possible that the Fund’s activities may be restricted, due to regulatory constraints applicable to Macquarie Group, and/or its internal policies designed to comply with such constraints. For example, since the Responsible Entity is a member of Macquarie Group, the securities held by the Fund are required to be included in the aggregate holdings of Macquarie Group for certain regulatory purposes. Should the application of such constraints result in limited capacity to acquire particular securities by Macquarie Group, the Fund will not have priority over any member of, or any fund associated with Macquarie Group, to acquire those securities.

Changes to Fees and Expenses Any fee including the management fee or the operating expenses incurred with the day-to-day operation of the Fund may be increased up to the maximum amounts permitted in the Fund’s Constitution. Your IDPS operator will receive at least thirty days’ prior written notice of the proposed change. This notice period should give you sufficient time to direct your IDPS operator to withdraw from the Fund if so desired.

Tax

Tax The tax information provided in this Product Disclosure Statement is intended to be a brief guide only and should not be relied upon as a complete statement of all relevant laws. It is based on Australian tax law as at the date of this Product Disclosure Statement, and these laws may change at any time.

Capital Gains Tax (CGT)

CGT may arise due to either the redemption or disposal of units, or as part of a distribution made to investors by the Fund.

Your IDPS operator should report to you each year on the type of your distributions and any tax credits you may have received through the Fund, so that you will know what to include in your tax return.

Broadly under the CGT rules, if an investor has held units for more than twelve months and is either an individual or trustee of another trust, only 50% of any net assessable capital gain is taxable. For complying superannuation funds that hold units for more than twelve months, 66.66% is taxable (that is, a discount of one third applies). Investors that are companies or investors that hold units for twelve months or less prior to redemption or disposal do not qualify for concessional CGT treatment.

Tax Position of Resident Investors

Foreign Investment Fund Tax Regime

It is recommended that investors consult their tax adviser about their individual circumstances and tax consequences. In particular, the following summary does not address any foreign tax consequences arising from an investment in the Fund.

Income Distributions

On the basis that investors will be presently entitled to the distributable income of the Fund, the Fund itself should generally not be subject to Australian income tax on the net income (i.e., taxable income) of the Fund. The Fund intends to distribute all of its income each year. Therefore, Australian resident investors should include their share of the net income of the Fund in their assessable income for the relevant income (even if their entitlement to that amount has been reinvested). Non-assessable distributions will reduce the cost base of the units held by an investor for Capital Gains Tax (CGT) purposes. The character of the income and gains of the Fund (for example, interest, dividends, capital gains) will flow though in the distribution to the investors. The distribution may include the capital gains that qualify for the discount CGT concession, which will apply where the Fund disposes of an asset held for at least twelve months. Any foreign tax credits (for example, arising from withholding taxes on payments received by the Fund from other countries) will generally be passed on to the investors at the time of the distribution. Redemption or Disposal of Units

The tax treatment for an investor on the redemption or disposal of units in the Fund will generally depend on whether the units are held by the investor on revenue or capital account. Any gain on redemption or disposal of units held on capital account (excluding distributions of Fund income which are otherwise taxable as described

12

above) should be assessed under Australia’s CGT provisions. Generally, profit on disposal of units held on revenue account is effectively taxed as ordinary income.

The Fund may be subject to the Foreign Investment Fund (FIF) tax regime and distributions from the Fund may include FIF amounts attributable to unrealised gains. However, the Responsible Entity will seek to manage the Fund’s FIF position to minimise the adverse effects of FIF to investors. Foreign Tax Credits

The income and/or gains of the Fund from its investments may suffer withholding tax in the countries where such income and/or gains arise. Australian residents are required to include in their assessable income their share of any foreign taxes paid by the Fund. Investors will normally be entitled to a tax credit in respect of the foreign taxes paid by the Fund. Tax File Number (TFN) and Australian Business Number (ABN)

It is not compulsory for investors to provide their TFN or ABN to their IDPS operator, and it is not an offence if they decline to provide them. However, unless exempted, if the TFN or ABN is not provided, the IDPS operator may be required to deduct tax from income at the highest marginal rate plus the Medicare levy. Good and Services Tax (GST)

The Fund is registered for GST. The application for and redemption of units in the Fund and receipt of income distributions will not be subject to GST. GST is payable on the Responsible Entity’s fees and reimbursement of expenses. However, the Fund will generally be able to claim input tax credits and/or reduced input tax credits of at least 75% of the GST paid.

Tax

Tax Position of Non-resident Investors

General Information

Income Distributions

Transaction Taxes

Broadly, non-resident investors may be subject to Australian withholding tax on their Australian sourced income, which can include capital gains. The rate of withholding will be contingent on the character of the distribution. In addition, non-resident investors may be subject to tax in the country in which they reside and may be entitled to a credit for some or all of any Australian tax withheld or paid.

Normal transaction taxes and stamp duties (if any) also apply.

Redemption or Disposal of Units

The tax treatment for a non-resident investor on the redemption or disposal of units in the Fund will generally depend on whether the units are held by the investor on revenue or capital account. Generally, the profit on a disposal of units held on revenue account is effectively taxed as ordinary income. An applicable Australian Double Taxation Agreement may limit Australia’s right to tax this income. Any gain on redemption or disposal of units held on capital account (excluding distributions of Fund income which are otherwise taxable as described above) may be assessed under the CGT provisions.

Non-resident Withholding Tax

Tax Advice

If you have any questions regarding the application of income tax or capital gains tax to an investment in the Fund, you should consult your tax advisor. Investors should seek their own professional advice, including as to taxation, before investing. Please note that any discussion of tax in this PDS refers to Australian tax law as at the date of this PDS, and that these laws may change at any time. Accounts and Audit

The accounts of the Fund will be prepared and audited as at 30 June each year, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act relating to financial reports of registered schemes. The accounts will be made available on www.macquarie.com.au/ au/business/managed_funds/product_financial_ statements.htm as soon as possible after this date but, in any event, no later than three months after financial year end. Interested parties are invited to view copies of the most recent audited accounts of the Responsible Entity at the offices of the Responsible Entity.

Appropriate deductions of Australian tax will be made from distributions of Australian sourced income to non-resident investors and investors with an overseas address. The amounts will be withheld at the rates of tax applicable to non­-resident investors and will depend on the type of income and whether the investors are resident in a country with an exchange of tax information agreement with Australia. Any Australian-sourced interest income component of a trust distribution paid to non-resident investors should generally be subject to Australian interest withholding tax at up to 10%. Withholding tax on interest is a final tax. Australian tax should be withheld by the Responsible Entity at a rate of 15%1 on Australian-sourced other income components of distributions made to non-residents.

 his rate will decrease for investors who are resident in a country with an exchange of tax information agreement with Australia to T 7.5% after 1 July 2010.

How to Invest • Accessing Your Money

How to Invest

Accessing Your Money

Initial Investments

Redemptions

You may invest in the Fund as an ‘indirect investor’ through an IDPS by directing the IDPS operator to acquire units in the Fund on your behalf.

Your IDPS operator will advise you about how to make redemptions, including any minimum amount involved.

An indirect investor does not become a unitholder in the Fund. Accordingly, an indirect investor does not acquire the rights of a unitholder of the Fund or acquire any direct interest in the Fund. The IDPS operator acquires these rights and can exercise, or decline to exercise, them on your behalf according to the arrangements governing the IDPS. Fees and expenses applicable to the IDPS (and set out in the IDPS offer document or client agreement) are payable in addition to the fees and expenses stated in this PDS. You should consult your IDPS operator about any cooling off rights you may have. Your IDPS operator will advise you about how to invest including the minimum investment amount and how your payment is to be made.

Additional Investments Your IDPS operator will advise you about how to make additional investments, including the minimum amount involved.

14

Delay of Redemptions The Responsible Entity can delay the calculation of the redemption price and the payment of redemption proceeds for the Fund if the Fund is no longer ‘liquid’, as defined in the Corporations Act. At its discretion, the Responsible Entity can then make money available only on a periodic basis and allocate it pro rata amongst those investors wishing to withdraw. If this occurs, in determining the unit price, the Responsible Entity will use the asset values determined at the time the relevant withdrawal offer closes. In addition, the Responsible Entity may suspend the redemption of units where it is impracticable for it to calculate the redemption price because of closure of, or trading restrictions on, currency, stock or securities exchanges, an emergency or other state of affairs, or an event outside the reasonable control of the Responsible Entity. If this occurs, your IDPS operator’s redemption request is deemed to have been received immediately after the end of the suspension. The Responsible Entity can also limit redemptions if it receives redemption requests representing more than 10% of the Fund’s value on any Business Day. In this case, the Responsible Entity may satisfy redemption requests representing 10% of the Fund’s value on a pro-rata basis and deem the remaining proportion of redemption requests to be received on the next Business Day.

Additional Information for IDPS Operators Only

Additional Information for IDPS Operators Only How to Invest If the Responsible Entity receives an application form and application monies from an IDPS operator before 2.00pm Sydney time on a Business Day in Macquarie’s Sydney office, Macquarie will consider the application for acceptance. On the day the application is accepted, units are issued and the IDPS operator normally receives the application price based on the valuation of assets at the close of business on that day. Investment amounts and application forms received after 2.00pm Sydney time on a Business Day in Macquarie’s Sydney office will be considered for acceptance on the following Business Day. The Responsible Entity is required under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF) to establish a program to identify, manage and mitigate money laundering and terrorism financing risks faced by their organisation. As part of those obligations, the Responsible Entity cannot accept an application to invest until it is satisfied that the identity of the investor has been verified in accordance with the requirements of the AML/CTF. The processing of applications may not proceed until the requested information is received in a satisfactory form and the identity of the investor is verified.

Redemptions The Responsible Entity generally processes and pays redemptions within seven Business Days where a redemption request is received from an IDPS operator before 2.00pm Sydney time on a Business Day in Macquarie’s Sydney office. If the Responsible Entity receives a redemption request

from an IDPS operator after this time, or on a nonBusiness Day for the Responsible Entity, it is treated as having been received before 2.00pm Sydney time on the next Business Day in Sydney. Units will be redeemed at the redemption unit price next calculated after the Responsible Entity receives the redemption request. The redemption unit price is normally based on the valuation of assets at the close of business on the day the request is received. The Fund’s Constitution allows the Responsible Entity 90 days to pay redemption proceeds, but this may be extended in certain circumstances, such as those described in the previous Delay of Redemptions section.

Redemption Call Back Confirmation To reduce the risk of unauthorised redemptions or changes to bank account details, an authorised signatory of the IDPS operator designated on the initial Application Form will be contacted via telephone to confirm the instruction is valid prior to processing. For redemptions, this call back confirmation procedure will apply to all requests if a pre-nominated bank account is not submitted on the initial Application Form, and to withdrawals to a pre-nominated account in amounts greater than or equal to A$1 million. Please note that if an authorised signatory of the IDPS is unable to be contacted prior to the expiration of the cut-off time for transactions, payment will be postponed until contact has been made. If this occurs, unitholders will still receive the unit price applicable for the instruction as originally submitted. If the request is subsequently found to be unauthorised after being processed in good faith, the unitholder will be liable for the buy/sell spread and any market movement.

15

Distributions • Unit Pricing

Distributions

Unit Pricing

Income Distributions

The Responsible Entity normally calculates unit prices for each Business Day. The unit price is equal to the net asset value of the Fund divided by the total number of units on issue. Application and redemption unit prices take into account transaction costs (the buy/ sell spread) as applicable.

All of the income of the Fund will be distributed to investors on a pro rata basis at least annually, generally at the end of June. Unless otherwise requested, any income distributions from the Fund will be reinvested into additional units in the Fund. Any change to a distribution option must be received seven Business Days prior to the next scheduled distribution of income to be effective for that period. Distribution payments will generally be made within ten Business Days after the end of the distribution period. Distributions are calculated on a cents per unit basis in accordance with the Fund’s Constitution. Undistributed gains accrue in the unit price of the Fund during the relevant distribution period. Accordingly, if an investment is made before a distribution, investors may receive some of the investment back immediately as income. Immediately following a distribution, the Fund’s unit price will usually fall because the income and realised gains accumulated during the distribution period have been distributed. Distributions may include a partial return of capital. However, if an application price is calculated as at the last Business Day of the period, the application price will not include an income component for that period. Similarly, if an investor makes a redemption at the end of the distribution period, the investor will receive a share of any accrued income as capital. However, if the redemption price is calculated as at the last Business Day of the period, the redemption price will not include an income component for that period, but the investor will also receive the income as part of the distribution. Details will be provided by your IDPS operator. Please refer to the Tax section for further information.

Assets are normally valued at their most recent market value, using independent pricing sources where available for the particular asset type. Any units held in unlisted funds are valued at their most recent unit prices as supplied by the Fund operator. Overseas assets are valued as at the close of business in each of the relevant overseas markets. The Responsible Entity may use model values or fair values if market quotations are not available or are deemed unreliable. Foreign exchange rates are valued at the WM Reuters London 4.00pm rate. The valuation methods and policies applied by the Responsible Entity to value the Fund’s assets and liabilities are consistent with applicable industry standards and result in unit price calculations that are independently verifiable. Under the Constitution for the Fund, the Responsible Entity has certain discretions in determining application and redemption prices. The Responsible Entity has documented its policy regarding the exercise of these discretions. A copy of the policy, together with the related documents, is available free of charge from Macquarie Funds Group Client Service. As discussed above, unit prices fall at the end of each distribution period because the allocation of the distributions reduces the Fund’s assets. Your IDPS operator can provide you with the unit prices for your investment. Daily unit prices will also be the available on the Responsible Entity’s website at www.macquarie.com.au/unit_ prices.

Timing Changes Your IDPS operator will be notified if the Responsible Entity changes the frequency of distributions or valuing the Fund, or the frequency or timing of unit pricing.

Corporations Act The Responsible Entity’s duties as the responsible entity under the Corporations Act include: • acting in the best interest of unitholders and, if there is a conflict between unitholders’ interests and the Responsible Entity’s own interests, giving priority to unitholders’ interests; • ensuring that Fund property is clearly identified as Fund property, is valued at regular intervals and is held separately from the Responsible Entity’s property and the property of any other fund; and

17

The Responsible Entity’s Legal Responsibilities

• reporting to ASIC any breach of the Corporations Act in relation to the Fund, which has had, or is likely to have, a materially adverse effect on the interests of unitholders. The Responsible Entity is liable for its agents engaged in connection with the Fund.

Fund Constitution The Fund is established by a Constitution, as amended from time to time. The terms and conditions of the Constitution are binding on each investor and persons claiming through them, as if the investor or person were a party to the Constitution. This PDS summarises some key features of the Constitution, such as issue and redemption of units, calculation of unit prices and fees. However, the Constitution covers a number of additional matters, including: • the nature of units (subject to any special terms of issue, identical rights attach to all units);

The Responsible Entity has prepared and lodged a compliance plan for the Fund with ASIC. The compliance plan sets out the compliance procedures that the Responsible Entity will follow to ensure that they are complying with the Corporations Act and the Constitution. Each year the compliance plan is independently audited, as required by the Corporations Act, and the auditor’s report is lodged with ASIC.

The Compliance Committee As required, the Responsible Entity has established a compliance committee with a majority of independent members. The compliance committee’s functions include: • monitoring the Responsible Entity’s compliance with the compliance plan and reporting its findings to them; • reporting breaches of the Corporations Act or the Constitution to the Responsible Entity; and

• how and when redemptions are paid;

• assessing the adequacy of the compliance plan and recommending any changes.

• unitholder meetings (a resolution may bind unitholders, regardless of how or whether the relevant unitholders voted);

Rights and Liabilities of an Investor

• the circumstances in which the Responsible Entity is and is not liable to unitholders; • the Responsible Entity’s indemnification out of assets of the Fund for all costs incurred by it in relation to the administration or management of the Fund (subject to the proper performance of its duties); • redemption procedures where the Fund is no longer ‘liquid’ within the meaning of the Corporations Act (the procedures described in this PDS apply where the Fund is liquid); • unitholders’ rights to share any Fund income, and how the Responsible Entity calculates it; and • when the Responsible Entity can retire as responsible entity of the Fund. The Responsible Entity can amend the Constitution from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Constitution and the Corporations Act, including if the Responsible Entity reasonably considers that the amendments will not adversely affect unitholders’ rights. Otherwise, the Responsible Entity must obtain unitholders’ approval at a meeting of unitholders.

18

The Compliance Plan

A unit confers a beneficial interest on a unitholder in the assets of the Fund but not an entitlement or interest in any particular part of the Fund or any asset. The Constitution also provides that the liability of each unitholder is limited to its investment in the Fund. Therefore, a unitholder is not required to indemnify the Responsible Entity or its creditors against its liabilities in respect of the Fund. However, no complete assurance can be given in this regard as the ultimate liability of unitholders has not been finally determined by the courts.

The Custodian The Responsible Entity has appointed JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPM) to hold the assets of the Fund. JPM meets the requirements prescribed by ASIC for custodians of managed investment schemes. The Responsible Entity will monitor and review JPM’s procedures and systems to ensure that custodial functions are carried out efficiently and properly.
