The Investment

Units in a unit trust – the CI Australian Equities Fund (the "Fund").

Minimum Initial Investment

$500,000.00

Manager

Cooper Investors Pty Limited ("CI" or the "Manager").

Custodian

National Australia Bank Limited.

Benchmark

S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index.

Distributions

Income distributions will normally be paid half-yearly as at 31 December and 30 June (although the Manager has the discretion to distribute more frequently) and will automatically be invested in further units unless a unit holder elects otherwise.

Investment Risks and Return Objectives

The objective of the Fund is to generate long term returns above the Benchmark by investing in a range of Australian and New Zealand listed securities. It is a long only portfolio of 20-45 stocks.

The Fund may own up to 10% of the portfolio in New Zealand listed securities (not listed in Australia).

Investment Strategy

The Manager will use CI's VoF research framework to assess individual companies and industries and to construct a portfolio that aims to achieve the risk and return objectives. This means that we seek to invest in quality companies with a strong value proposition. The Fund will generally be fully invested and the level of exposure to specific companies, industries and markets will be selected by CI's small, focused, experienced team using our VoF investment process.
