DISCLOSURE PRINCIPALS

DISCLOSURE PRINCIPLE 1

THE INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The investment strategy

The strategy of the Blossom Fund is quantitative led and seeks to generate returns from the more liquid parts of the fixed income market using specialised techniques only available to institutional grade fixed income managers. The Liquidity Manager seeks to target areas of the fixed income market that have a lower probability of default. The Liquidity Manager only invests in areas where it deems it has a competitive advantage to other fixed income managers.

The strategy seeks to ensure consistent and smoother annual returns through the Threshold Manager’s management utilisation of the Intended Return Facility provided by the Underwriter (as set out in Threshold Management and Underwriting Deed).

The investment strategy explained

The focus of the Fund is making (direct or indirect) investments in fixed income investments and derivatives to achieve synthetic interest investments. The Fund’s investment style utilises a variety of institutional techniques,including a combination of inflation hedges,overlays,arbitrage strategies and to opportunistically allocate to selective opportunities or to apply a distortions-based investment approach with the objective to generate a meaningful return above the RBA cash rate. The strategy is also highly tax aware and employs a variety of techniques which seek to deliver tax efficiency to investors. The focus and style of the Liquidity Manager is to seek out lower probability of default opportunities in fixed income markets relative to risk and then use specialised techniques with the objective of delivering stable returns to investors using a variety of return sources that have well understood correlations.

The Fund’s investment strategy may change from time to time. The Responsible Entity will notify investors of any material changes to the investment strategy on the Fund’s website at www.blossomapp.com .

Investment universe

The investment universe is comprised mainly of direct and indirect investments (see below) in investment grade corporate bonds,asset backed securities inflation derivatives,interest rate derivatives,bank bills and negotiable certificates of deposit issued by larger Australian banks and other derivatives. The Liquidity Manager’s remit is to seek out the best opportunities irrespective of geography across rates,credit and inflation markets. As a result,the investment universe is a function of return versus probability of default and risk. Consequently,the investment universe is statistically based due to the filters that are used and will be dynamic and based on changes in the investment environment. The Liquidity Manager aims to hedge any foreign currency exposure back to the Australian dollar.

The indirect investments will be by investing in other funds managed by the Liquidity Manager which have the same investment strategy and investment universe. This reflects the objective of the Fund to access the Liquidity Manager’s skills and provide a cost-effective way of doing that until it is assessed that it is more cost effective for the Fund to make the investments directly.

Key dependencies or assumptions

The Fund relies heavily on the effectiveness of the methodology described in the “Fortlake’s investment process” section to deliver positive capital growth. If the methodology does not work as anticipated, the Fund could underperform or incur losses on capital.

The Fund relies on the discretionary credit facilities provided by the Underwriter for its Intended Return. If the Underwriter does not make a payment under the Threshold Management and Underwriting Deed, the Fund could receive a lower return than the Intended Return.

For further information regarding the risks associated with the Fund’s investment strategy, refer to ‘What are the significant risks?’.

Diversification and position limits

The Fund’s portfolio will typically contain by direct investments and indirect investments by investing in other Funds managed by the Liquidity Manager of 20 to 70 positions. The portfolio will typically contain derivative positions, particularly where use of the derivative enhances the theme or strategy of the portfolio.

The Fund will generally have the following asset allocations (direct or indirectly held):

• Weighted average credit weighting of the bond portfolio within the Fund no lower than BBB+ rated
• Global government and corporate bond exposure of 0% - 15% of net asset value of the Fund
• Australian corporate bonds of 0% - 100% of net asset value of the Fund
• Australian government bonds of 0% - 10% of net asset value of the Fund
• The Fund may use derivatives (exchange-traded and over the counter derivatives) of 0% - 100%, to gain access to the above investment exposures including global government and corporate bonds and these derivatives may reference sub-investment grade issuers.

Refer to disclosure principles 6 (leverage) and 7 (derivatives) below.

Risks

Please refer to “What are the significant risks?” for details about risks of investing in the Fund.

Is my capital protected?

Returns of capital are not guaranteed.

Risk management strategy

The Liquidity Manager continually monitors risk across four key dimensions: (i) Portfolio Exposures; (ii) Structure; (iii) Operations; and (iv) Commercial.

• Portfolio Exposures relates to the individual and aggregate investment and currency exposures contained in the Fund’s long portfolio, short portfolio and the resulting net exposures.
• Structure relates to the Fund’s counterparties for foreign exchange forward transactions and prime broking services; as well as the oversight of the legal entities relating to the Fund and the Liquidity Manager.
• Operations relates to the Liquidity Manager’s research, trading and accounting systems, the oversight of the Fund’s service providers and other matters of regulation and compliance.
• Commercial relates to the internal workings of the Liquidity Manager, including research, finance, human resources and communications functions.

The Liquidity Manager conducts a formal risk review of these dimensions on a quarterly basis.

For what type of investor is the Blossom Fund suitable?

The Fund is suited to those investors who are seeking a consistent return above general inflation rates and a regular source of income. However, there are no guarantees that the Intended Return will be achieved and there are risks associated with investing in the Fund (please refer to “What are the significant risks?” for details about risks of investing in the Fund) and therefore the Fund is suited to those investors who are willing to accept those risks in seeking the desired Intended Return.

• where the Return is above the Intended Return, to determine the amounts payable as fees and expenses as described the PDS current for the relevant period and to instruct the Responsible Entity to accrue such payments daily;
• where the Return is below the Intended Return, at its sole discretion, to make payments to the Fund to meet the Intended Return when the Fund underperforms;
• at its sole discretion, to make payments to the Responsible Entity to assist in satisfying withdrawals where necessary; and

The Threshold Manager is an Australian incorporated company owned 50% by Gleneagle Securities (Aust) Pty Ltd (i.e. the Underwriter). The Underwriter makes available the Intended Return Facility and the Redemption Facility to the Threshold Manager under the Threshold Management and Underwriting Deed, by which the Underwriter may make certain payments to the Threshold Manager. See section “Threshold Management and Underwriting Deed” below.

Gleneagle, the Threshold Manager and the Underwriter have signed a threshold management and underwriting deed (Threshold Management and Underwriting Deed), which contains arm’s length commercial terms and provides for termination of the Threshold Manager in a number of circumstances including insolvency, breach of an obligation, representation, warranty or undertaking under the agreement or if Gleneagle is required to terminate to comply with relevant law.

DISCLOSURE PRINCIPLE 3

FUND STRUCTURE

The Fund is structured as a registered managed investment scheme and a unit trust. Interests in the trust are divided into “units”.

The Responsible Entity of the Fund is Gleneagle.

The Liquidity Manager currently managing a portfolio of the Fund is Fortlake Asset Management Pty Ltd (Fortlake).

The Threshold Manager of the Fund is BlossomApp Pty Limited (BlossomApp).

Gleneagle Securities (Aust) Pty Limited (Gleneagle Securities) is the Underwriter of the Fund and the Custodian for indirect investments (by way of holding units in other funds managed by the Liquidity Manager).

Other key service providers include Apex Fund Services (Australia) Pty Ltd, the Administrator of the Fund, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, the Prime Broker and Custodian of the Fund for direct investments in fixed income investments and Ernst & Young, the auditors of the Fund.

All key service providers of the Fund are appointed on arm’s length commercial terms. Service providers are largely based in Australia.

Gleneagle ensures compliance of its service providers with their obligations under the relevant service agreements and laws by monitoring performance, and by conducting reviews in accordance with its service provider monitoring program.

There are risks of holding assets through third party service providers such as the Prime Broker. These risks are outlined in the section “What are the significant risks?” and “Counterparty risk”.

For information on fees and costs associated with an investment in the Fund, please refer to “Fees and other costs”.

DISCLOSURE PRINCIPLE 4

VALUATION, LOCATION AND CUSTODY OF ASSETS

Below is a table summarising the Fund’s proposed assets, location of assets and custody arrangements.

Interests in the Fund are proposed to be valued daily each business day and the net asset value is determined in accordance with the Constitution and industry standards.

Please refer to the “The Fund’s Investment Process” section for information on the geographical exposures of the Fund’s investments.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is custodian of certain assets that it holds on behalf of the Fund, including cash and direct investments. Gleneagle Securities is custodian of the financial assets which are the investments in other funds managed by the Liquidity Manager. The Responsible Entity may itself hold certain derivative positions on behalf of the Fund.

DISCLOSURE PRINCIPLE 5

LIQUIDITY

The Fund generally permits redemptions daily each business day. Withdrawal requests are required to be received by 4pm Sydney time on a business day (i.e. the day of redemption),for processing using the unit price effective for the day of redemption.

It is expected that the Fund will be able to meet redemptions in normal market conditions. In a rapidly moving market,investors could experience a deferral or scaling back to a partial payment of their redemption amount plus a deferral of the outstanding amount.

The Underwriter may (in its discretion) assist to fund redemptions under the Threshold Management and Underwriting Deed,by way of making payments to the Threshold Manager for the Threshold Manager to make corresponding payments to the Responsible Entity,to enable the Fund to satisfy redemptions without having to defer redemptions.

The Constitution of the Fund and the Corporations Act permit deferral of redemptions in certain circumstances. Please refer to the section “Withdrawing your investment” for further information. The Responsible Entity is also permitted to defer redemptions if it receives an individual redemption request that represents more than 5.25% (for an individual member) or redemptions received over a period of 5 consecutive business days for more than 10% (in aggregate) of the number of units in issue. This is commonly referred to as ‘gating’. The Responsible Entity also has the discretion to waive these ‘gating’ rights.

Please refer to the section “What are the significant risks?” and “Liquidity risk” for more information on liquidity.

DISCLOSURE PRINCIPLE 6

LEVERAGE

The Liquidity Manager may leverage the Fund's capital because it believes that the use of leverage may enable the Fund to achieve a higher rate of return. Accordingly, the Responsible Entity may pledge the Fund's securities in order to borrow additional funds for investment purposes. The Fund may also leverage its investment return with derivatives and short sales. The amount of borrowings which the Fund may have outstanding at any time may be substantial in relation to its capital. Leverage can magnify both the gains and losses and Unitholders may experience increased volatility in the value of their investments.

Leverage is employed via the prime broking relationship with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, or other trading counterparties who impose a strict set of leverage limits, asset class criteria restrictions as well as concentration risk calculations on the Fund.

The Prime Broker or other counterparties may enter into leveraged transactions (e.g. short selling or derivatives) and may hold some assets of the Fund as collateral for those transactions.

Please refer to the sections “What are the significant risks?” and “The Prime Broker” for more information on leverage.

Worked example of impact of leverage on investment returns and losses

The following table provides examples of two different scenarios of the Fund’s performance and their theoretical outcome if the Fund was at its maximum gross market exposure (2.5x) with no protection through short selling. At the Fund’s maximum gross market exposure, this means that for every $1 of the Fund’s net asset value, the Fund is leveraged $2.50. Note that this example does not take into account borrowing or trading costs. The examples use an investment of $50,000 and the maximum anticipated and allowed leverage of 2.5x:

DISCLOSURE PRINCIPLE 7

DERIVATIVES

While the Fund primarily invests directly and indirectly by investing in other funds managed by the Liquidity Manager, the Liquidity Manager may, in its discretion, invest in derivatives and/or exchange traded funds to gain an intended exposure or manage a particular risk.

Derivatives (both exchange traded and over the counter) may be used in the management of the Fund for purposes including the following:

• managing investment risk and volatility of a security or market;
• managing actual and anticipated interest rate risk and credit exposure;
• managing currency risk and adjusting currency exposure;
• achieving asset exposures without buying or selling the underlying securities;
• creating short exposure to a security or market where permitted;
• generating additional income;
• adding to the gearing levels of the Fund’s portfolio;
• managing tax outcomes for the Fund;
• managing strategic and tactical asset allocation strategies; or
• taking advantage of price differences (known as arbitrage).

The primary over the counter derivative counterparty used is J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, who is the Fund’s Prime Broker.

Please refer to the sections “What are the significant risks?” and “The Prime Broker” for more information on the use of derivatives.

DISCLOSURE PRINCIPLE 8

SHORT SELLING

Short selling may be undertaken by the Fund as part of the investment strategy. The Fund may engage in short selling by borrowing bonds through the Prime Broker or other brokers and providing the required collateral.

Liquidity Manager will engage in short-selling in accordance with the rules of the particular market on which it is trading (for example, it will comply with relevant reporting requirements and, where “naked” short selling is prohibited, Liquidity Manager will not engage in such practice).

The risks of short selling are set out in the section “What are the significant risks?”. Short selling risk is managed by Liquidity Manager through size and by the use of the Prime Broker.

DISCLOSURE PRINCIPLE 9

WITHDRAWALS

The Fund aim to process withdrawals on a daily basis each business day. Withdrawal requests are required to be received by 4pm Sydney time on a business day, for processing using the unit price effective for the day of redemption.

The process for making withdrawals and limitations in relation to withdrawals are set out in the section “Withdrawing your investment”. In some circumstances, such as when the Fund is illiquid, investors will not be able to withdraw from the Fund. If the withdrawal requirements are altered, you will be notified in writing. Please also refer to the section “What are the significant risks?” and “Liquidity risk” for more information on liquidity.

Redemption Facility

The Underwriter has made available a credit facility to the Threshold Manager under the Threshold Management and Underwriting Deed to assist the Responsible Entity in satisfying withdrawals from the Fund. The facility is only made available where the Fund does not have the liquidity required to satisfy the withdrawals for any given day in the Underwriter’s discretion. The facility is intended to bridge the time delay from receiving the receipts from realising assets (where necessary) to satisfy the daily withdrawals each business day.

DISCLOSURE BENCHMARKS

This PDS addresses the following two disclosure benchmarks:

BENCHMARK 1

VALUATION OF ASSETS

This benchmark addresses whether valuations of the Fund’s non-exchange traded assets are provided by an independent administrator or an independent valuation service provider.

MET OR NOT MET?

The Fund meets the valuation of assets benchmark. Any non-exchange traded assets (such as over the counter derivatives) are valued by the Prime Broker or Administrator who are unrelated to the Fund.

BENCHMARK 2

PERIODIC REPORTING

This benchmark addresses whether we provide periodic disclosure to our investors of certain key Fund information on an annual and monthly basis.

MET OR NOT MET?

The Fund meets this benchmark.

The following information will be made available to unit holders in the Fund on a monthly basis:

• net asset value and price of units; and
• net returns after fees, costs and relevant taxes.

We will advise unit holders should there be any changes to the following:

• any changes to key service providers including any change in related party status in respect of the Fund more generally;
• any material changes to the risk profile and strategy of the Fund more generally; and
• any material changes related to the primary investment personnel responsible for the Fund more generally.

The following information will be provided to unit holders in the Fund on an annual basis:

• asset allocation to each asset type;
• liquidity profile at the end of the relevant period;
• maturity profile of liabilities at the end of the relevant period;
• the gross exposure as a measure of the leverage ratio at the end of the relevant period;
• information about derivative counterparties engaged; and
• monthly returns and annual investment returns.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

Benefits of investing in the Fund

Some of the Blossom Fund’s key benefits include the following:

• easily accessible investment through the Blossom Fund app or web app providing for daily applications and redemptions each business day;
• greater flexibility with no minimum account balance, no minimum applications and minimum withdrawals of $0.01;
• credit facilities provided by the Underwriter:
• to pay, at its discretion, to the Threshold Manager the amount required to make up any shortfall of the Return to the Intended Return (and for the Threshold Manager to make the corresponding payment to the Fund); and
• to make advances, at its sole discretion, to provide liquidity to the Threshold Manager to pay investors redemptions within the timeframes as set out in this PDS (and for the Threshold Manager to make the corresponding payment to the Fund).
• transparent and daily up-to-date information available in the Blossom App or Web App about your investment;
• the Liquidity Manager is highly specialised, with deep knowledge and experience in fixed income investments;
• investors have access to Liquidity Manager’s investment methodology which is designed to produce returns and protect investors against inflation risk;
• investors have access to a highly diversified portfolio of investment grade fixed income investments.

THRESHOLD MANAGEMENT AND UNDERWRITING DEED

Under the Threshold Management and Underwriting Deed, the Threshold Manager at its sole discretion, has the ability to pay the amount of shortfall to the Fund so that the Fund is achieving the Intended Return each financial year. Where the Fund underperforms and the Return is below the Intended Return, the Threshold Manager may at its discretion, either (i) pay the amount of shortfall to the Fund so that the Fund is achieving the Intended Return; or (ii) where there are insufficient funds, request the Underwriter to pay the amount of shortfall under the relevant credit facility (which may be made in the Underwriter’s discretion) to it so that it can make the relevant payment in respect of the shortfall to the Fund. When the Fund outperforms and the Return is above the Intended Return, the Threshold Manager determines the amounts of fees and expenses payable as set out in the PDS current for the relevant period and instructs the Responsible Entity to accrue such payments daily. These fee amounts include the excess funds (net of all other fees and expenses) above the Intended Return of the Fund paid to the Threshold Manager via the Threshold Management Fee.

Under the Threshold Management and Underwriting Deed, the Underwriter provides the:

1. Intended Return Facility: The Underwriter agrees under the threshold management and underwriting deed to pay, at its discretion, to the Threshold Manager the amount required to make up any shortfall of the Fund’s return on Return to the Intended Return.
2. Redemption Facility: The Underwriter agrees under the threshold management and underwriting deed to make advances, at its sole discretion, to provide liquidity to the Threshold Manager to pay investors redemptions within the timeframes required as set out in the PDS current for the relevant period.

BLOSSOM APP OR WEB APP

Blossom Fund app (the App) or Blossom Fund web app (the Web App) are the platforms through which investors may make applications to the Fund, redeem their investment or check the value of their investments. Refer to sections ‘How to invest’ for more information on how to apply to the Fund and ‘Withdrawing your investment’ for more information on how to redeem your investment through the App or Web App.

THE FUND’S INVESTMENT PROCESS

Fortlake’s investment process

Investors in the Fund have the benefit of accessing Liquidity Manager’s distinctive investment process. The Liquidity Manager utilises a Trade Meritocracy Framework (TMF) to build its portfolio, which includes the following stages:

• Stage 1 – Universe and Opportunity Set

The Liquidity Manager identifies a shortlist of potential investments (the investment universe) which fit the Fund’s investment parameters. This process involves analysing a range of investment instruments and forming a view as to their relative merits (including any discount to their intrinsic value), based on their risks and potential return, commensurate with the Fund’s target return of the Intended Return. Once the Liquidity Manager has completed this analysis, it uses this data to optimise capital allocation and weight the portfolio.

• Stage 2 – Factor Audit

Once the investment universe is defined, each of the potential investments is subject to further analysis and modelling through repeated simulation. This stage involves scrutinising the performance of the potential investments across a range of factors. Such factors may include macroeconomic factors or investment specific factors like volatility or momentum. Potential investments are ranked across each factor with a view of identifying superior opportunities and areas for further optimisation. The factors used in this stage may change over time and themselves are evaluated regularly by the Liquidity Manager to ensure effectiveness.

• Stage 3 – Implementation Review

Once the investments and allocations have been confirmed, the Liquidity Manager considers the most effective means of implementing the investment. For example, in some circumstances, the Liquidity Manager may elect to trade in a bond directly, and in others, it may elect to instead trade via a derivative. In determining this, the Liquidity Manager will have regard to the potential merits and risks associated with each approach.

• Stage 4 – Execution Review

Once the most appropriate means of implementation has been identified, the Liquidity Manager determines the optimal means of executing the trade. This includes an evaluation of the potential trading counterparties, informed by the Liquidity Manager’s previous knowledge and experience with the counterparties.

• Stage 5 – Post Execution Review

When the Liquidity Manager executes a trade (and thereafter), it analyses how the market responds to its trade. The Liquidity Manager uses this data to develop a profile on counterparty firms and the market, which it uses to better inform trading strategy and counterparty selection in the future.

• Stage 6 – Live Monitor

The portfolio is then subject to ongoing monitoring and evaluation. The data collected at this stage is used to evaluate the sufficiency of the model and identify further areas of optimisation.

Labour and environmental, social or ethical considerations

The responsible investment principles of Fortlake are applied to the Blossom Fund. As an applicant of the Principles for Responsible Investment, Fortlake ensures the organisation publicly demonstrates its commitment to including environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors which are integral to the core of the investment decision making and ownership. Effectively pricing ESG factors is vital to the management of risks and identifying investment opportunities in corporate and sovereign bonds and their derivatives.

Carrying out stewardship responsibilities is also central in Fortlake’s investment process, with some products and business practices being detrimental to society and the environment and therefore incompatible with sustainable investment practices. Certain exclusion criteria are applied to the investment universe, for example controversial weapons, within a tiered, scenario-based framework which also incorporates breach reporting in the extreme. For investment management mandates, Fortlake offers various other exclusion criteria to suit clients’ needs.

The Chair of ESG is a member of the Investment Committee and Board of Directors for Fortlake Asset Management. In addition, Fortlake has external ESG academic affiliations and as such, is actively involved in academic research. This brings both a level of rigour and independence to the investment process, whilst contributing practical expertise to the academic community.

The Fund’s Geographic exposure

The Fund may invest (directly or indirectly) in corporate bonds or other debt instruments issued by foreign corporations. The Fund will typically have geographical exposures of:

We note that these geographical allocations are guidelines only and may be varied at the discretion of the Liquidity Manager having regard to the best interests of Unitholders as a whole and the investment strategy of the Fund.

What corporate governance processes are in place to manage my investment?

Under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the Fund documents, investors are provided with several layers of oversight providing a robust and appropriate corporate governance structure. The structure provides additional investor safeguards through the separation of duties, specialisation of expertise, clear lines of responsibility and layered approval processes.

The Fund is operated by a responsible entity who holds an appropriate Australian financial services licence. The Responsible Entity for the Fund is Gleneagle. Gleneagle has appointed Fortlake as Liquidity Manager, BlossomApp as Threshold Manager, Gleneagle Securities as Underwriter and Custodian, Apex Fund Services (Australia) Pty Ltd as Administrator, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as the Prime Broker and Custodian (of direct fixed income investments and cash).

Like most Australian managed investment schemes, the Fund is a unit trust. In exchange for your invested money you are issued units. Certain rights (such as a right to any income and a right to vote) attach to your units. You may also have obligations in respect of your units.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS?

Investing in the Fund involves various risks. Registered holders of units in the Fund (Unitholders) may lose capital, or the Fund may underperform in respect of its investments, resulting in the Intended Return not being achieved. Unitholders should expect that the Fund’s unit prices, and total returns, may materially fluctuate over time.

About risk and return

Unitholders should be aware that there is no guarantee that the implementation of the investment objective or process will not result in losses to Unitholders. The Intended Return to the Fund and the return of capital is not guaranteed by any person or organisation, including the Liquidity Manager, Threshold Manager, the Underwriter, the Responsible Entity, the Prime Broker or the Custodian. Therefore, each investor should carefully consider the risks of investing and, where necessary, seek professional advice as to the suitability of investing in the Fund. Some risks of investing in the Fund include, but are not limited to:

FEES AND OTHER COSTS

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 account balance rather than 1% could reduce your financial 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.moneysmart.gov.au) has a managed investment fee calculator to help you check out different fee options.

FEES AND OTHER COSTS THAT YOU MAY BE CHARGED

These fees and costs may be deducted from your money, from the returns on your investment or from the assets of the managed investment scheme as a whole.

Information about taxes is set out in another part of this document. You should read all the information about fees and costs, because it is important to understand their impact on your investment.

^All fees are expressed as a percentage of Principal. All fees are exclusive of GST and exclusive of any RITC.

*As the Fund is a new product, this is Gleneagle’s reasonable estimate at the time of this PDS for the current financial year and assumes: (i) no abnormal expenses are incurred; and (ii) 0.5% p.a. of Principal Threshold Management Fee has been waived to the extent of and in proportion to the amount of the Principal invested in any other fund for which Liquidity Manager is entitled to fees. It also assumes that the Fund earns 1.1% above the Intended Return.

EXAMPLE OF ANNUAL FEES AND COSTS

This table gives an example of how the fees and costs for the Fund can affect your investment over a one-year period. You should use this table to compare the Fund with other managed investment products. It is important to read the assumptions and notes below the table.

^As the Fund is newly established, the figure reflects Gleneagle’s reasonable estimate, based on information available as at the date of this PDS and calculated on the Principal, that will apply for the current financial year (adjusted to reflect a 12-month period). Please refer to ‘additional explanation of fees and costs’ section for more information.

The Corporations Act requires that when calculating management costs in this table we must assume that the value of your investment remains at $50,000 and the Fund’s unit price does not fluctuate. Management costs actually incurred will depend on the market value of your investment and the timing of your contributions (including any reinvestment of distributions) during any 12-month period. The example assumes no abnormal expenses are incurred, 0.5% p.a. of Principal Threshold Management Fee has been waived to the extent of and in proportion to the amount of the Principal invested in any other fund for which Liquidity Manager is entitled to fees and no additional service fees are incurred by you and that fees are not individually negotiated with us. Totals may vary from the expected number due to rounding.

ADDITIONAL EXPLANATION OF FEES AND COSTS

About management costs

Management costs comprise the additional fees or costs that investors incur by investing in the Fund, rather than investing directly in the underlying assets. These include investment management fees, BlossomApp’s threshold management fees, Fortlake’s liquidity management fees, indirect costs, audit costs, legal costs, and administration and custody fees. Management costs do not include transactional and operational costs. On any given day, the amounts payable to fee recipients is to be calculated and accrued daily, until the amount of Return above the Intended Return is exhausted, in the following order:

• Liquidity Management Fee. The Liquidity Manager has waived to the extent of and in proportion to the amount of the Principal invested in any other fund for which Liquidity Manager is entitled to fees;
• Indirect Costs; and
• Threshold Management Fee.

If the Return is not sufficient to allow for the payment of all fees and costs to the fee recipients then the fees will be waived or reduced in the order of priority as listed above.

Management fees

The Liquidity Manager is entitled to a management fee of 0.5% per annum of the Principal (exclusive of GST) accrued daily, calculated on the last business day of each calendar quarter and payable quarterly in arrears. The management fee is charged for acting as Liquidity Manager of the Fund, managing its investments and overseeing the Fund’s operations. The Liquidity Manager has waived to the extent of and in proportion to the amount of the Principal invested in any other fund for which Liquidity Manager is entitled to fees.

Gleneagle has the right to appoint more than one investment manager (including the Liquidity Manager) in respect of the Fund. Where more than one investment manager is appointed, each investment manager will be appointed in respect of a portfolio. When determining the fees payable to each relevant investment manager as a management fee, the calculation of the fees will be undertaken on a portfolio basis; where the Intended Return and Return are calculated in respect of each individual portfolio.

Threshold Management Fee

The Threshold Manager is entitled to a Threshold Management Fee of:

• any amount of the Return that is above the Intended Return; less
• all management fees; less
• all fund expenses paid or incurred in the proper performance of the Responsible Entity’s duties for which the Responsible Entity is indemnified (see below “Indirect costs”),and

not exceeding the amount which the Responsible Entity is entitled to pay to the Threshold Manager under the Constitution.

The Threshold Management Fee is accrued daily,calculated on the last business day of each calendar quarter and payable quarterly in arrears. The Threshold Management Fee is charged for the provision of the threshold management services to the Fund under the Threshold Management and Underwriting Deed.

The Liquidity Manager’s estimates of the transactional and operational costs for the Fund are:

While the Fund is a new product, and hence such costs are unable to be calculated based on the costs charged in the past 12 months, this information reflects the Liquidity Manager’s reasonable estimate of the transaction and operational costs for the Fund. We have also assumed that application monies received are fully invested. In practice, your investment balance, the Fund’s volume of trading and the number and value of applications and withdrawals processed will vary from year to year, which will impact the transactional and operational costs of the Fund.

Transactional and operational costs such as brokerage, borrowing costs, transactional taxes, and settlement costs are incurred when the Fund acquires or disposes of assets. The amount of these costs for the Fund will vary from year to year depending of the volume and value of trades undertaken for the Fund.

Transactional and operational costs for the Fund are paid out of the assets of the Fund and are not fees paid to the Liquidity Manager.

Can the fees change or be updated?

Yes,all fees can change. Reasons might include changing economic conditions and changes in regulation. However,we will give you 30 days’ written notice of any increase to fees where practicable. The Constitution for the Fund sets the maximum amount we can charge for all fees. If we wished to raise fees above the amounts allowed for in the Constitution,we would need the approval of investors.

Please refer to our website for any updates on our estimates of any fees and costs (including indirect costs and transactional and operational costs). Past performance is not an indicator of future performance and fees or costs may change in future years.

Adviser remuneration

No commissions will be paid by us to financial advisers. Additional fees may be paid by you to your financial adviser if one is consulted. You should refer to the Statement of Advice they give you in which details of the fees are set out.

Can fees be different for different investors?

The law allows us to negotiate fees with “wholesale” investors or otherwise in accordance with legal requirements. The size of the investment and other relevant factors may be taken into account. We generally don’t negotiate fees. However,we may negotiate fees with very large wholesale clients only. The terms of these arrangements are at our discretion.

Government charges and taxation

Government taxes such as GST are applied to your account as appropriate. In addition to the fees and costs described in this section,standard government fees,duties and bank charges may also apply such as stamp duties. Some of these charges may include additional GST and will apply to your investments and withdrawals as appropriate. Please refer to the ‘What about Tax?’ section of the PDS.

HOW TO INVEST

You may invest in the Fund by downloading the App or via the Web App and creating an investor account. Within the App or via the Web App, you may complete the electronic application process to our satisfaction (including providing any identification documentation) and pay your application funds. There is no minimum investment amount.

Application requests will generally be processed daily using the unit price effective for the day. If your application request is received before 4pm Sydney time on a business day, it will be processed using the unit price effective for the end of the day. If an application request is received after this time, it is treated as having been received the following day.

Application requests are valid when the initial identification verification has been passed and cleared funds are received. Any of your payments which remain subject to being dishonoured or clawed back will be shown as “pending” and so additional units might not be issued until your payment has cleared. Although generally units will be issued following payment in cleared funds as described above, if for any reason Gleneagle holds application moneys prior to full credit for payment, Gleneagle will retain the interest (if any) earned on the application monies.

You can make additional investments at any time through your investor account in the App or via the Web App. No minimum amount applies to additional investments. Units will be issued to you in the same manner as initial application funds as stated above.

WITHDRAWING YOUR INVESTMENT

When you wish to withdraw

There is generally a minimum withdrawal amount of $0.01 and a minimum balance of nil applies to the Fund.

You can ask to withdraw all or part of your investment in the Fund at any time by making a request to withdraw a specified amount through your investor account on the App or via the Web App. This is called a redemption or withdrawal request. The Fund generally processes redemptions on a daily basis each business day. Daily redemption requests are required to be received by 4pm Sydney time on a business day for processing using the unit price effective for the day of redemption. Once we decide you can withdraw your money, redemption requests received by 4pm Sydney time on the day of redemption will be processed on the day of redemption, redemption requests received after 4pm Sydney time on the day of redemption will be processed the business day after the day of redemption. We will generally pay the funds to your account on the following business day after the day your redemption request is processed.

You will be notified of any material changes to your withdrawal rights through the Fund website where there is a material change to your withdrawal rights.

Please note that units in the Fund are not listed on any stock exchange like the ASX, so you can’t sell your units through a stockbroker.

Some detail about withdrawals and how much we pay

How much money you receive for each nit depends on the withdrawal price.

Firstly, we calculate the value of the investments of the Fund and take away the value of the liabilities as defined in the Fund’s Constitution. Secondly, we divide the result of this by the number of units we have on issue to obtain a unit mid-price.

These steps produce a per unit price.

We have a documented policy in relation to the guidelines and relevant factors taken into account when calculating unit prices. We call this our unit pricing policy. We keep records of any decisions which are outside the scope of the unit pricing policy, or inconsistent with it. A copy of the unit pricing policy and of the records are available free on request from the Responsible Entity.

We can withhold from amounts we pay you, any amount you owe us, or we owe someone else relating to you (for example, the tax office).

We generally pay all withdrawal proceeds in cash, (cleared funds, not physical money), directly to your bank account but we are permitted under the Constitution for the Fund to pay redemption proceeds in kind (i.e. in- specie asset transfer).

Payments can be delayed

In certain circumstances, such as a freeze on withdrawals or where the Fund is illiquid (as defined in the Corporations Act), you may have to wait a longer period of time before you can redeem your investment.

If the Fund is not sufficiently liquid, then you will only be permitted to withdraw if we make a withdrawal offer to all investors in accordance with the Fund’s constitution and Corporations Act.

We can delay withdrawal of your money for 21 days or such period as considered appropriate in our view in all the circumstances if:

• there are not enough investments which we can easily turn into cash (the law dictates this). We don’t anticipate the Fund would become illiquid but if it did, the law says we can (if we wish) make some money available, and requires us to allocate it on a pro rata basis amongst those wanting to exit; or


• we receive a quantity of withdrawal requests representing more than 10 per cent of the value of the investments of the Fund. In this case we can stagger withdrawal payments.

In certain circumstances we can also delay withdrawal of your money for so long as the relevant event continues. The Constitution sets out the full range of circumstances in which we can delay withdrawal of your money and these include (among others) if:

• something outside our control affects our ability to properly or fairly calculate the unit price (for example, if the investments are subject to restrictions or if there is material market uncertainty like a stock market crash); or


• an emergency or similar state of affairs occurs which, in our reasonable opinion, makes it impractical to redeem units or which might be prejudicial to the remaining investors; or


• there is a closure or material restriction on trading on the major global stock exchanges or realisation of the assets cannot be affected at prices which would be obtained if assets were realised in an orderly fashion over a reasonable period in a stable market; or


• we otherwise consider it is in the best interests of Unitholders as a whole to delay withdrawal of units.

The Responsible Entity may also gate redemptions in either of the following two scenarios:

• where a redemption request by a single investor represents more than 5.25% of the number of units in issue, Gleneagle may in its discretion treat that investor’s redemption request as 5 separate redemption requests for 1/5 of the amount of the original redemption request which will be deemed to have been received on the 5 successive Business Days; or


• where the redemption requests made by investors (including the single investor described in (a)) during any 5-business day period in aggregate represent more than 10% of the number of units in issue, Gleneagle may in its discretion reduce each of the redemption requests pro-rata so that only 10% in total of the units are redeemed. The unredeemed portion of the relevant redemption requests are carried forward to the fifth business day after the original redemption request was received. The scaling back may apply again if redemptions comprising more than 10% of units in issue are received.

The Responsible Entity also has the discretion to waive these ‘gating’ rights.

We can give you back your invested money

In certain circumstances we can, or may be required to, also redeem some or all of your units without you asking. These circumstances include:

• If you breach your obligations to us (for example, you provide misleading information in your application);


• where we suspect that law prohibits you from legally being an investor; or


• such other circumstance as we determine in our absolute discretion (but we must always act in the best interests of Unitholders as a whole when deciding to do this).

DISTRIBUTIONS

Any income distributions (if available) will be made following the end of each financial year being 30 June each year or more frequently at the Responsible Entity’s discretion. Any such distributions will be paid annually and generally within 30 business days after the distribution date.

Distributions are automatically reinvested unless a Unitholder elects for the distribution to be paid out in cash. A Unitholder can change their distribution option by notifying the Administrator via the ‘update distribution preferences’ feature in the App or via the Web App, or by notifying the Responsible Entity, at least twenty (20) business days prior to the relevant distribution date. Unitholders will still have to pay tax on a distribution, even if it is reinvested.

In certain circumstances, such as where investments are sold to meet a significant redemption, Gleneagle may choose to allocate undistributed income and any net realised capital gains to withdrawing Unitholders based on a pro-rata allocation with reference to the number of units being withdrawn. This would only be utilised to ensure a fair and reasonable allocation of any undistributed income and net realised capital gains amongst all Unitholders.

Gleneagle has absolute discretion, in performing its obligation as Responsible Entity, and may accept or reject a written direction from a Unitholder. Gleneagle may also in its discretion implement a minimum initial investment and minimum holding amount requirements.

Gleneagle also reserves the right to cancel distribution reinvestments. Unitholders will be notified if this occurs.

Distribution statements will be forwarded to all Unitholders annually.

As stated above, the default option is for distributions to be reinvested. Investors can elect instead to be paid in cash (cleared funds, not physical money) by completing the ‘update distribution preferences’ feature in the App or via the Web App or by notifying the Responsible Entity, at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the relevant distribution date.

ENTITLEMENTS, EARNINGS AND SAVINGS

You become legally entitled to income (called “distributions”) and withdrawal proceeds when paid. This is governed by the Fund’s Constitution and law. This PDS describes when distributions are made and important features of withdrawals.

We want to keep you informed of your savings during your investment (i.e., before you become legally entitled to distributions and withdrawal payments). You can see in the App or via the Web App the total value of your savings and your investment’s “earnings”.

This is based on how much you have invested, less any withdrawals, plus increases (or decreases) in the value based on the Fund’s earnings (as described in this PDS, including provisions for fees, charges and costs), the total number of units on issue and the number which you have.

The displayed total value of your savings (all of your net investment) is based on your number of units and the actual unit prices applicable for the same day used for applications and redemptions.

The displayed amount of your earnings (the indicative increase in value based on your net application moneys) is based on the prevailing net increase in the Fund’s earnings.

For example, if you started saving with $100, your account starts by showing your savings of $100. You are entitled to withdraw that at any time as disclosed in this PDS. You are legally entitled to the $100 payment when your withdrawal application is processed.

If the Fund value which is used for calculating unit prices has increased, then your savings will be displayed as having increased by the same rate. The increase can be displayed both as a dollar value and as an annualised rate. For example, say sometime later the Fund has increased in value per unit. In this example, your savings might be shown as $101 and your earnings will be displayed as $1.00. Depending on when this example is in during the financial year, this $1 increase may be displayed as an annualised rate (in this brief example, 3.00% (p.a.)).

It is important to be aware that you are only legally entitled to the $100 and $1 when legally paid out of the Fund (as described in this PDS). Savings and earnings displayed in the App or via the Web App are based on valuations and assumptions for the valuation (set out in the unit pricing policy, described in this PDS) before you actually withdrawal or distributions are actually made. Actual performance is not guaranteed and displayed indicative values and rates may differ from actual proceeds paid on withdrawals.

Since we price units every business day, in the ordinary course the displayed savings and earnings will generally be identical with actual unit prices and withdrawal payments.

As described in this PDS, distributions on your units will be reinvested into more units (as the default, unless you instruct us otherwise). This will increase the number of units you have, but your total savings on all of your investment will remain the same. Of course, your withdrawals and your additional investments will adjust the displayed savings.

KEEPING YOU INFORMED

We will:

• confirm every transaction you make;
• send you Annual Tax Statements (around late August/ September);
• each year (around October) make the accounts of the Fund available to you on our website;
• send you Annual Periodic Statements;
• send you a final Exiting Period Statement; and
• notify you of any material changes to this PDS and any other significant event as required by law.

The Fund is relatively new. As at the date of this PDS the Fund has more than 100 investors. When the Fund has 100 investors or more, the Fund will be considered to be a “disclosing entity” for the purposes of the Corporations Act. This means the Fund is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act which apply to a ‘disclosing entity’. Copies of any documents required to be lodged with ASIC in relation to the Fund may be obtained from, or can be inspected at, an ASIC office. Investors will have a right to obtain a copy, free of charge, in respect of the Fund, of:

• the most recent annual financial report; and
• any half yearly financial report required to be lodged with ASIC after that most recent annual financial report but before the date of this PDS.

Any continuous disclosure obligations we may have will be met by following ASIC’s good practice guidance via website notices rather than lodging copies of these notices with ASIC. Accordingly, should Gleneagle, as Responsible Entity of the Fund, become aware of material information that would otherwise be required to be lodged with ASIC as part of any continuous disclosure obligations, we will ensure that such material information will be made available as soon as practicable on the website www.blossomapp.com.

WHAT ABOUT TAX?

Your tax liability ultimately depends on your circumstances, for example, whether you are an Australian resident. So, it’s important that you seek professional advice before you invest or deal with your investment.

The discussion below assumes that the Fund will be an Attribution Managed Investment trust (AMIT) and that the investor is an Australian resident for tax purposes who holds their units in the Fund directly on capital account. Non-resident investors should seek their own independent tax advice before investing, taking into account their particular circumstances and the provisions of any relevant double taxation agreement and/or multilateral instrument/ exchange of information agreement between Australia and their country of residence for taxation purposes.

You may need to pay tax in relation to your investment in the Fund. Whilst you may pay income tax you might be able to claim some tax credits or have the benefit of some concessions.

The Fund is an Australian resident trust for Australian tax purposes. It is required to determine its tax components for each year of income. These tax components may include assessable income, exempt income, non-assessable non-exempt income, tax offsets and credits of different characters. The trustee will attribute the tax components to investors on an annual basis such that investors should be treated as having derived their share of the tax components of the Fund directly on a flow through basis. In the case where a Fund makes a loss for tax purposes, that Fund cannot distribute (or attribute) the loss to investors. However, subject to the relevant Fund meeting certain conditions the Fund may be able to take into account the losses in subsequent years.

The Fund will generally attribute any income and realised gains (the timing of recognition of income may be impacted by the Taxation of Financial Arrangements (TOFA) provisions as noted below), if any, shortly after 30 June each year. investors will be required to include in their assessable income the taxable components attributed to them by the Fund. The Fund may attribute a number of different types of income which reflect the income derived by the Fund. These components could comprise of:

• interest;
• capital gains;
• foreign income and foreign income tax offsets;
• Australian sourced income;
• franked dividends/franking credits; and
• non-assessable amounts.

If the Fund’s assets are $100 million or more it will be subject to TOFA provisions of the tax legislation which provide rules in relation to the method for calculating gains and losses from financial arrangements and the time at which these gains and losses are brought to account for tax purposes (the default recognition of gains and losses would be accruals or realisation method but there are certain elections that the Responsible Entity might make for alternative timing recognition).

An investor’s share of the assessable tax components of the Fund for a year of income forms part of the investor’s assessable income of that year.

Tax components of the Fund which are attributed to investors may include franked distributions. Subject to the application of anti-avoidance provisions at the Fund level (such as the dividend imputation holding period and related payment rules), such franked distributions generally entitle Australian resident investors to obtain a tax offset (the franking credit) that is available to offset against their income tax liability. Franked distributions and franking credits are included in a person's assessable income. If the franking credits exceed the tax payable on an investor's taxable income, the excess credits may be refundable to the investor if the investor is a resident individual or complying superannuation fund. Excess franking credits may generate tax losses if the investor is a corporate entity.

Tax components of the Fund which are attributed to investors may also include non-cash amounts, such as foreign income tax offsets (FITOs). Depending on the investor’s circumstances, they may be able to claim a tax offset for these amounts against Australian income tax payable on foreign income. An investor’s entitlement to FITOs may be limited to where the FITO does not relate to an amount included in assessable income, or where the investors do not have sufficient overall foreign source income to utilise all of the FITOs relevant to a particular year of income. The excess FITOs cannot be carried forward to a future income year.

We will send you the information you need each year in the form of an AMIT Member Annual Tax (AMMA) Statement to help you to complete your tax return. This information will advise the investor of the share of the tax components of the Fund (if any) of any foreign income/foreign income tax offsets as well as any adjustments required to be made to the investor’s cost base. This will assist the investor when preparing their income tax return.

The amount of the tax components of the Fund which the investor is required to include in their assessable income may be different to the cash distributions received by an investor in respect of their units. This is because the distributions received on the units is determined by reference to the returns received in respect of the Fund, whereas the tax components of the Fund are determined by reference to the overall tax position of the Fund. An investor may be required to make, in certain circumstances, both upward and downward adjustments to the cost or cost base of their unit holdings. This occurs where during an income year there is a difference between:

• amounts distributed, whether in cash or property to the investor from the Fund and the tax offsets that are attributed to the investor in relation to the year; and
• the tax components (grossed up for any capital gains tax (CGT) discount) attributed to the investor included in that investor’s assessable income and any non-assessable non- exempt income.

If the amount in (a) exceeds the amount in (b), the cost base of the investor’s units in the Fund should be reduced by the excess amount. This results in either an increased capital gain, or a reduced capital loss, upon the subsequent disposal of the investor's units in the Fund. Should the cost base be reduced to below zero, the amount in excess of the cost base should be a capital gain that is to be included in the investor's taxable income. Conversely, where the amounts in (a) falls short of the amounts in (b) during an income year, the cost base of the investor’s units in the Fund should be increased by the shortfall amount.

Additionally, Australian residents will generally realise a capital gain or capital loss when they redeem (or dispose of) units in the Fund.

Depending on the kind of taxpayer you are, and how long you have held your units, you may be entitled to a CGT discount which can reduce any capital gain (if any) by up to one half.

If you choose not to provide us with your tax file number (TFN) or Australian business number (ABN) and don’t have an exemption, we must withhold tax at the highest personal rate, plus the Medicare levy, before passing on any distribution to you. The law is very strict on how we can use these details. If this withholding tax applies it is noted that it is merely a collection mechanism and an investor may claim a credit in their annual income tax return in respect of the tax withheld.

Investors should seek their own tax advice to ensure the Fund is appropriate for them.

Gleneagle does not provide any tax advice.

GLENEAGLE’S RESPONSIBILITIES TO YOU

The Constitution establishes the Fund and sets out certain rules which apply to the relationship between Gleneagle as Responsible Entity and each unitholder. Together with this PDS and the law from time to time, it governs your relationship with Gleneagle. It gives Gleneagle rights to be paid fees and expenses and be indemnified from the Fund.

It governs (amongst other things) Gleneagle’s powers (which are very broad), investor meetings and unit issue, pricing and withdrawal, as well as what happens if the Fund terminates.

The Constitution limits Gleneagle’s need to compensate you if things go wrong. Generally, Gleneagle is not liable in equity, contract, tort or otherwise to investors for any loss suffered in any way relating to the Fund.

The Constitution also contains a provision that it alone is the source of the relationship between you and Gleneagle and not any other laws (except, of course, those laws that can’t be excluded).

Gleneagle must have investor approval to make changes to the Constitution which are adverse to the rights of investors.

You can obtain a copy of the Constitution by emailing BlossomApp at blossom@blossomapp.com.

ENQUIRIES AND COMPLAINTS

Gleneagle has established procedures for dealing with complaints. If an investor has a complaint, they can contact Gleneagle. Gleneagle will use reasonable endeavours to deal with and resolve the complaint within a reasonable time but in any case, no later than 45 days after receipt of the complaint.

If you are a direct investor and have notified Gleneagle of a complaint in writing and you are not satisfied with how the complaint has been handled, you can refer your complaint to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). Gleneagle is a member of AFCA (member number 11357) which is an external dispute complaints resolution scheme approved by ASIC.

AFCA’s services are generally only available to ‘retail clients’ (as defined in the Corporations Act).

Indirect investors may contact their IDPS operator if they wish to make a complaint or if they are unsatisfied with how a complaint has been handled. However, Gleneagle’s complaints process is also available to indirect investors.

COOLING OFF

If you are a retail investor (as defined in the Corporations Act), who invests directly in the Fund, you are entitled to a 14-day cooling-off period during which you may change your mind about your investment. During that time, you may exercise your cooling-off rights by requesting your money be returned.

The cooling-off period begins when your transaction confirmation is received by you or, if earlier, 5 business days after your units are issued. Gleneagle is allowed to (and generally does) make adjustments for market movements up or down, as well as any tax and reasonable transaction and administration costs. This may result in you receiving back less than you originally invested.

You may have capital gain/loss tax implications if you happen to receive more or less back than you originally invested.

If you wish to cancel your investment during the cooling-off period, you need to inform Gleneagle in writing of your intention to exercise this right before the end of the cooling-off period (and before exercising any rights or powers you have in respect of your investment in the Fund).

PRIVACY

We collect personal information from you in the application and any other relevant forms to be able to process your application, administer your investment and comply with any relevant laws. If you do not provide us with your relevant personal information, we will not be able to do so.

Privacy laws apply to our handling of personal information and we will collect, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with our privacy policy, which includes details about the following matters:

• the kinds of personal information we collect and hold;
• how we collect and hold personal information;
• the purposes for which we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information;
• how you may access personal information that we hold about you and seek correction of such information (note that exceptions apply in some circumstances);
• how you may complain about a breach of the Australian Privacy Principles (APP), or a registered APP code (if any) that binds us, and how we will deal with such a complaint;

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING AND COUNTERTERRORISM FINANCING

AML ACT

The Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML Act) and other applicable anti-money laundering and counter terrorism laws, regulations, rules and policies which apply to Gleneagle (AML Requirements), regulate financial services and transactions in a way that is designed to detect and prevent money laundering and terrorism financing. The AML Act is enforced by the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC). In order to comply with the AML Requirements, Gleneagle is required to, amongst other things:

• verify your identity and source of your application monies before providing services to you, and to re-identify you and verify your identity if we consider it necessary to do so; and
• where you supply documentation relating to the verification of your identity, keep a record of this documentation for 7 years.

Gleneagle and the Administrator reserve the right to request such information as is necessary to verify your identity and the source of the payment. In the event of delay or failure by you to produce this information, Gleneagle may refuse to accept an application and the application monies relating to such application or may suspend the payment of withdrawal proceeds if necessary, to comply with AML Requirements applicable to them. Neither Gleneagle nor their delegates shall be liable to you for any loss suffered by you as a result of the rejection or delay of any subscription or payment of withdrawal proceeds.

Each of Gleneagle and the Administrator has implemented a number of measures and controls to ensure they comply with their obligations under the AML Requirements, including carefully identifying and monitoring investors. As a result of the implementation of these measures and controls:

• transactions may be delayed, blocked, frozen or refused where Gleneagle or the Administrator has reasonable grounds to believe that the transaction breaches the law or sanctions of Australia or any other country, including the AML Requirements; and
• where transactions are delayed, blocked, frozen or refused the Gleneagle (and each service provider to the Fund) are not liable for any loss you suffer (including consequential loss) caused by reason of any action taken or not taken by them as contemplated above, or as a result of their compliance with the AML Requirements as they apply to the Fund.

Gleneagle and the Administrator may from time to time require additional information from you to assist it in this process.

Each of Gleneagle and the Administrator may have certain reporting obligations under the AML Requirements and may be prevented by law from informing you that any such reporting has taken place. Where required by law, Gleneagle or the Administrator may disclose the information gathered to regulatory or law enforcement agencies, including AUSTRAC. Gleneagle and the Administrator (and each service provider to the Fund) are not liable for any loss you may suffer as a result of their compliance with the AML Requirements.

FATCA

US Tax Withholding and Reporting under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

The United States of America has introduced rules (known as FATCA) which are intended to prevent US persons from avoiding tax. Broadly, the rules may require the Fund to report details of all US persons and suspected US persons in the Fund to the US tax authorities, to prevent a 30% FATCA withholding tax on certain income and proceeds of the Fund. The Australian Government has entered into an agreement with the United States of America to implement the FATCA regime in Australia (Intergovernmental Agreement). Gleneagle or the Administrator may therefore request that you provide certain information in order to comply with FATCA requirements.

COMMON REPORTING STANDARD

The OECD Common Reporting Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information (CRS) requires certain financial institutions to report information regarding certain accounts to their local tax authority and follow related due diligence procedures. The Fund is a ‘Financial Institution’ under the CRS and complies with its CRS obligations by obtaining and reporting information on relevant accounts (which may include the units in the Fund) to the Australian Tax Office (ATO).

In order for the Fund to comply with its obligations under CRS and FATCA, Gleneagle requests (and the Administrator may also request) the investors to provide certain information and certifications to Gleneagle for the Fund’s compliance with FATCA and the CRS. Gleneagle (and the Administrator) may determine whether the Fund is required to report the investors’ details to the ATO based on Gleneagle’s (and/or the Administrator’s) assessment of the relevant information received. The ATO may provide this information to the IRS (in the case of the FATCA regime) where applicable and to other jurisdictions’ tax regulators (in the case of the CRS regime) that have signed the “CRS Competent Authority Agreement”, the multilateral framework agreement that provides the mechanism to facilitate the automatic exchange of information in accordance with the CRS. The Australian Government has enacted legislation amending, among other things, the Taxation Administration Act 1953 to give effect to the CRS and to implement FATCA (in accordance with the Intergovernmental Agreement).

Such services and facilities will be provided pursuant to a series of agreements (the Customer Documents) and may include an Institutional Account Agreement with JP Morgan in compliance with the laws, rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and other exchanges and dealer associations by which certain of the JP Morgan Entities are regulated (collectively, the US Rules). The Fund may also enter into principal transactions with one or more JP Morgan Entities.

Fund assets that are held by JPMS as prime broker will be carried in the name of the Fund and shall be subject to a lien to secure the Fund’s obligations to JP Morgan. To the extent permitted under US Rules, with respect to JPMS or any other JP Morgan Entity subject to the US Rules, the Fund’s assets that are not required by US Rules to be segregated may be borrowed, lent, pledged, repledged, sold, hypothecated, rehypothecated, transferred or otherwise used by such JP Morgan Entities as may hold such assets for their own purposes. Cash held with a JP Morgan Entity subject to the US Rules may be used by such JP Morgan Entity in the course of its business to the extent permitted by the US Rules.

Neither JPMS nor any other JP Morgan Entity will be liable for any loss to the Fund resulting from any act or omission in relation to the services provided under the terms of the Customer Documents unless such loss results directly from the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misfeasance of JPMS or any other JP Morgan Entity, nor shall JPMS or any other JP Morgan Entity be liable for consequential or other types of special damages, or losses to the Fund caused by the insolvency or acts or omissions of any sub-custodian or other third party by whom or in whose control any of the Fund’s investments or cash may be held. The Fund has agreed to indemnify JPMS and the other JP Morgan Entities against any loss suffered by, and any claims made against, them to the extent set forth in the Customer Documents.

Neither JPMS nor any other JP Morgan Entity will have any involvement in the management of the Fund or any decision-making discretion relating to the Fund’s investments. Neither JPMS nor any other JP Morgan Entity has any responsibility for monitoring whether investments by any investment manager or advisor are in compliance with any internal policies, investment goals or limitations of the Fund, and neither JPMS nor any other JP Morgan Entity will be responsible for any losses suffered by the Fund.

JPMS and each other JP Morgan Entity reserve the right not to clear transactions and not to provide any of the services. JP Morgan and each other JP Morgan Entity reserve the right to terminate the arrangements in accordance with the provisions of the Customer Documents.
