4 Communication The case for change Challenges Goals Growth Capacity Costs ~$100bn funds under management by 2016 ~$500m fees paid to external managers by 2016 Capacity constraints exist with external managers New managers will drag fund performance Analysis indicates it is not possible to reduce external management costs to a level that will deliver the outcomes needed by AustralianSuper AustralianSuper is seeking top decile performance measured over a 10 year timeframe Achieving the primary performance goal necessitates a higher level of outperformance than has been achieved since the merge While the current outperformance from asset allocation and sector tilt remains scalable and will contribute to the 2016 performance targets the remaining targeted increase to performance returns must come from improved external manager selection or internal management 4

5 Delegations and segregation Review and revise delegation framework Governance Compliance with prudential requirements and best practice Clearly defined roles that ensure appropriately skilled & trained staff can operate within documented policies & procedures Decision Making Transparent processes separating recommendations and approvals of decisions outside of delegated authorities All decisions will be evidenced by a clear audit trail Implementation The implementation of decisions will be undertaken with appropriate segregation of duties evidenced by a clear audit trail All securities will be held by the approved Master Custodian Monitoring & Appropriate monitoring mechanisms will be in place to assess the effectiveness of the decision making process Independent reporting of performance, risk and compliance activities 5

6 Mandates Clearly articulate the objective of the internal team Internal teams treated same as external managers Capital allocated to internal team follows same process as external managers Formal mandate documented including return expectations, constraints and guidelines Performance will be monitored in same way as external managers Under performance will be managed as with an external manager Formal approval required to move outside of mandate Critical to capture the insights from the internal team to deliver benefits of one portfolio 6

7 Asset selection Principles for selecting where to start Capacity constraints Cost pressure Long term investing / alignment Control / Influence / ESG Insight Ease of Implementation 7

8 Risk Taking Culture Identify the culture that will align the investment team Performance focussed and constructive Member first One organisation focussed on one portfolio Clearly articulated investment philosophy Constructive challenge Encourage new ideas and provide a safety net Experience is the sum of our mistakes 8
