About Equity Trustees Limited The Responsible Entity Equity Trustees Limited EQT, a company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ), is the Fund s Responsible Entity and issuer of this PDS. Established as a trustee and executorial service provider by a special Act of the Victorian Parliament in 1888, today EQT is a dynamic financial services institution which will continue to

5 The Investment Manager grow the breadth and quality of products and services on offer. EQT s responsibilities and obligations as the Fund s Responsible Entity are governed by the Fund s constitution ( Constitution ), the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) and general trust law. As Responsible Entity, EQT is solely responsible for the management of the Fund. EQT has delegated the investment management functions to Insight Investment Management (Global) Limited which will make investment decisions in relation to the Fund. Insight Investment Management (Global) Limited Insight Investment Management (Global) Limited ( Investment Manager ) is a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. It manages and advises on the investment of managed funds and is a subsidiary of Insight Investment Management Limited and is part of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. The Investment Manager is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK under UK laws which are different from Australian laws. It is, by virtue of Class Order 03/1099, exempt from the requirement of the Corporations Act 2001 to hold an Australian Financial Services Licence. 2. How the Insight Diversified Inflation Plus Fund works The Fund is a registered managed investment scheme. The Fund is governed by the Constitution. The Fund comprises assets which are acquired in accordance with the Fund s investment strategy. Investors receive units in the Fund when they invest. In general, each unit represents an equal interest in the assets of the Fund subject to liabilities; however it does not give investors an interest in any particular asset of the Fund. If you invest in the Fund through an IDPS (as defined in the Reference Guide) you will not become a unitholder in the Fund. The operator or custodian of the IDPS will be the unitholder noted in the Fund s register and will be the only person who is able to exercise the rights and receive benefits of a unitholder. Please direct any issues and queries relating to your investment to your IDPS Operator. All amounts are in Australian dollars. Applying for units Making additional investments Distributions Access to your money You can acquire Class A units by completing the Application Form that accompanies this PDS or by making an application through the mfund settlement service ( mfund ) by placing a buy order for units with your licensed broker.. The minimum investment amount for the Fund is $20,000. The price at which units are acquired is determined in accordance with the Constitution ( Application Price ). The Application Price on a Business Day (as defined in the Reference Guide) is, in general terms, equal to the net asset value ( NAV ) of the Fund, divided by the number of units on issue and adjusted for transaction costs ( Buy Spread ). At the date of this PDS, the Buy Spread is 0.21%. The Application Price will vary as the market value of assets in the Fund rises or falls. You can make additional investments into Fund at any time by sending us your additional investment amount together with a completed Application Form or by making application for units through mfund. The minimum additional investment into the Fund is $5,000. An investor s share of any distributable income is calculated in accordance with the Constitution and is generally based on the number of units held by the investor at the end of the distribution period. The Fund usually distributes income annually effective as at the 30 June. Distributions are calculated on the last day of each period (30 June) and are normally paid to investors within 30 days of the period end, however it may take longer. EQT may change the distribution frequency without notice. Investors in the Fund can indicate a preference to have: their distribution reinvested back into the Fund; or their distribution directly credited to their nominated Australian domiciled bank account. Australian investors who do not indicate a preference will have their distributions automatically reinvested. Applications for reinvestment will be taken to be received prior to the next valuation time after the relevant distribution period. There is no Buy Spread on distributions that are reinvested. In some circumstances, where an investor makes a large withdrawal request (5% or more of the units on issue), their withdrawal proceeds may be taken to include a component of distributable income. Indirect Investors should review their IDPS guide for information on how and when they receive any income distribution. New Zealand investors can only have their distribution reinvested (refer to the Insight Diversified Inflation Plus Fund Class A units New Zealand Investors Information Sheet for further information). Investors in the Fund can generally withdraw their investment by completing a written request to withdraw from the Fund and mailing it to: State Street Australia Limited Unit Registry Level 14, 420 George Street SYDNEY, NSW Or sending it by fax to or or by making a withdrawal request through mfund by placing a sell order for units with your licensed broker. The minimum withdrawal amount is $5,000. Once we receive your withdrawal request, we may act on your instruction without further enquiry if the instruction bears your account number or investor details and your (apparent) signature(s), or your authorised signatory s (apparent) signature(s) or if the withdrawal is

6 received via mfund. EQT will generally allow investors to access their investment within 14 days of receipt of a withdrawal request by transferring the withdrawal proceeds to such investors nominated bank account or, where the request is received via mfund, to the investor s licensed broker. However, the Constitution allows EQT to reject withdrawal requests and also to make payment up to 21 days after acceptance of a request (which may be extended by a further 30 days in certain circumstances). The price at which units are withdrawn is determined in accordance with the Constitution ( Withdrawal Price ). The Withdrawal Price on a Business Day is, in general terms, equal to the NAV of the Fund, divided by the number of units in issue and adjusted for transaction costs ( Sell Spread ). At the date of this PDS, the Sell Spread is 0.21%. The Withdrawal Price will vary as the market value of assets in the Fund rises or falls. EQT may limit the number of units redeemed on a Business Day on which banks are not open for general banking business in London to units representing not more than 10% of the NAV of the Fund. This limitation will apply pro rata, so that all investors wishing to redeem units on that day realise the same proportion of their units. Redemption of units that would otherwise have been redeemed will be deferred to the next Business Day. EQT reserve the right to fully redeem your investment if your investment balance in the Fund falls below $20,000 as a result of processing your withdrawal request. EQT can deny a withdrawal request in certain circumstances, including where accepting the request would cause the Fund to cease to be liquid or where the Fund is not liquid (as defined in the Corporations Act). When the Fund is not liquid, an investor can only withdraw when EQT makes a withdrawal offer to investors in accordance with the Corporations Act. EQT is not obliged to make such offers. If you are an Indirect Investor, you need to provide your withdrawal request directly to your IDPS Operator. The time to process a withdrawal request will depend on the particular IDPS Operator. Unit pricing discretions policy Additional information EQT has developed a formal written policy in relation to the guidelines and relevant factors taken into account when exercising any discretion in calculating unit prices (including determining the value of the assets and liabilities). A copy of the policy and, where applicable and to the extent required, any other relevant documents in relation to the policy will be made available to investors free of charge on request. The Fund is not currently a disclosing entity as defined by the Corporations Act. If the Fund becomes a disclosing entity (generally this will occur when the Fund has 100 investors or more), it will be subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Investors (but not Indirect Investors) have a right to obtain a copy, free of charge, of any of the following documents: the most recent annual financial report ( Annual Report ); any subsequent half yearly financial report lodged with ASIC after the lodgement of the Annual Report; and any continuous disclosure notices lodged with ASIC after the Annual Report but before the date of this PDS. These documents can also be obtained from or inspected at an ASIC office. Further reading You should read the important information in the Reference Guide under Investing in the Insight Diversified Inflation Plus Fund, Managing your investment and Withdrawing your investment about: how to invest and where to send your completed Application Form and identification documents; application cut-off times on a Business Day; cooling-off rights; authorised signatories; reports; unit pricing and valuations; withdrawal cut-off times on a Business Day; payment of withdrawals; withdrawal terms; and withdrawal restrictions, before making an investment decision. The Reference Guide is available at The material relating to investing in the Fund, application cut-off times, cooling-off rights, unit pricing and valuations, withdrawal cut-off times, withdrawing from the Fund, and authorised signatories and reports, may change between the time when you read this PDS and the day when you sign the Application Form. 3. Benefits of investing in the Insight Diversified Inflation Plus Fund Class A units The Fund aims to deliver attractive, positive long term returns at least 5% in excess of inflation over a rolling 5 year period. Benefits of investing in the Fund include: The Fund offers genuine diversification that goes beyond simple asset class holdings and is not reliant on market directional exposures to always be the prime driver of returns. The Investment Manager takes a dynamic approach to asset allocation and risk management for the Fund, with the aim of capturing most of the upside when markets are rising but avoiding most of the downside when they are falling.

7 It is managed by a stable and focused investment team of portfolio managers deploying a transparent and robust investment process. The team is experienced and enjoys a strong track record in successfully managing similar strategies. 4. Risks of managed investment schemes All investments carry risks. Different investment strategies may carry different levels of risk, depending on the assets acquired under the strategy. Assets with the highest long-term returns may also carry the highest level of short-term risk. The table below highlights the significant risks you should consider when deciding whether to invest in the Fund. You may want to consider these risks in light of your risk profile. Your risk profile will vary depending on a range of factors, including your age, the investment time frame (how long you wish to invest for), your other investments or assets and your risk tolerance. You may lose money by investing in the Fund and your investment in the Fund may not meet your objectives. The level of returns will vary and future returns may differ from past returns. Laws affecting managed investment schemes may also change in the future. In addition, we do not offer advice that takes into account your personal financial situation, including advice about whether the Fund is suitable for your circumstances. If you require personal financial advice, you should contact a licensed financial adviser. Risk of not achieving objective Fund risk General risks Interest rate risk Liquidity risk Derivative Risk It should be noted that the Fund s investment objective is not guaranteed but rather depends on the Investment Manager s skill in selecting appropriate investments as described in section 5 below. Whilst the Fund aims to deliver an absolute return above Australian inflation, it is not an inflation hedged product and as such will not attempt to directly move in line with Australian inflation rates. The Fund could terminate, the fees and expenses could change, the Investment Manager or Responsible Entity could be replaced and the investment professionals could change. There is also a risk that investing in the Fund may give different results than investing directly in the underlying assets because of income or capital gains accrued in the Fund and the consequences of investment and withdrawal by other investors. The market price of investments may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting markets generally or particular industries represented in the markets. The value of an investment may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, supply and demand for particular securities or instruments, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labour shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously. Further, changes in tax, legal and economic policy, political events and technology failure can all directly or indirectly create an environment that may influence the value of the investments of the Fund. Changes in official interest rates can directly and indirectly impact (negatively or positively) on investment returns. Generally, an increase in interest rates has a contractionary effect on the state of the economy and sometimes this may affect the valuation of stocks and other assets. There may be times when securities may not be readily sold (for example an exchange imposed limit on price fluctuations on a particular day in both falling and rising market conditions) and this may impact the investment and markets to which the Fund has exposure. In particular, the Fund may invest indirectly in property assets, which are inherently less liquid and more difficult to sell than other assets. If there is an interruption to regular trading in a market generally, or for a particular investment to which the Fund has exposure, there may be delays in processing withdrawal requests. Neither the Responsible Entity nor the Investment Manager guarantees the liquidity of the Fund s investments or of investments in the Fund. The Fund may make extensive use of both exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivatives, including, but not limited to, futures, forwards, swaps, options and contracts for differences, as part of its investment policy. Derivatives are highly specialised instruments that require investment techniques and risk analysis different from those associated with equities and debt securities. The use of a derivative requires an understanding not only of the underlying instrument but also of the derivative itself. In particular, the use and complexity of derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controls to monitor the transactions entered into and the ability to assess the risk that a derivative transaction adds to a portfolio. As such there can be no guarantee or assurance that the use of derivatives will meet or assist in meeting the investment objectives of the Fund. Derivatives can be highly volatile and expose investors to a high risk of loss. The low initial margin deposits normally required to establish a position in such instruments permit a high degree of leverage. As a result, depending on the type of instrument, a relatively small movement in the price of a contract may result in a profit or a loss which is high in proportion to the amount of funds actually placed as initial margin and may result in unquantifiable further loss exceeding any margin deposited. In addition, daily limits on price fluctuations and speculative position limits on exchanges may prevent prompt liquidation of positions resulting in potentially greater losses. Transactions in over-the-counter contracts may involve additional risk as there is no exchange market on which to close out an open position. It may be impossible to liquidate an existing position, to assess the value of a position or to assess the exposure to risk. In relation to over-the-counter derivative contracts, the Fund will additionally be exposed to the risk that the counterparties to such contracts may, in an insolvency or similar event, be unable to meet their contractual obligations under the contracts. Although the operation of collateral arrangements will help mitigate this risk, if a counterparty was unable to meet its contractual obligations under a derivative contract, the Fund could still incur a loss and this would have

8 an adverse effect on the value of the Fund. Valuation Risk Exchange Traded Funds The Fund may be subject to valuation risk due to the manner and timing of valuations of the Fund's investments in underlying collective investment schemes. Underlying collective investment schemes may be valued by fund administrators affiliated to fund managers, or by the fund managers themselves, resulting in valuations which are not verified by an independent third party on a regular or timely basis. Accordingly there is a risk that the valuations of the underlying collective investment schemes may not reflect their true value at a specific time which could result in significant losses or inaccurate pricing for the Fund. Those schemes in which a Fund invests which are open-ended may have restrictions on the number of shares that can be redeemed on a dealing day and there may be occasions when redemptions are suspended. The Fund may accordingly not be able to achieve the prevailing underlying NAV when it wishes to realise an investment. The Fund may invest in Exchange Traded Funds. Exchange Traded Funds represent a basket of securities that are traded on an exchange and may not necessarily trade at the NAV of their underlying holdings. As a result, they may trade at a price that is above or below the value of the underlying portfolio. Exchange Traded Funds may not be backed by underlying physical positions and may be subject to counterparty risk. 5. How we invest your money Before choosing to invest in the Fund you should consider the likely investment returns, the risks of investing and your investment time frame. Investment objective Benchmark Minimum suggested timeframe Risk level of the Fund Investor suitability Investment style and approach Asset allocation The investment objective of the Fund is to deliver attractive, positive long term returns at least 5% in excess of inflation over a rolling 5 year period. RBA CPI Trimmed Mean. The RBA CPI Trimmed mean series is part of the suite of analytical measures of Australian Consumer Price Inflation issued by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The minimum suggested investment time frame for the Fund is 5 years. Medium/High The Fund aims to provide positive returns in a wide variety of market conditions with a relatively low level of volatility. However to achieve this the Fund makes extensive use of derivatives and due to the additional risks associated with investing in derivatives (see section 4 above), the Fund has been classified as medium/high risk. There is a risk that investors may lose some or all of their investment. Higher risk investments can fluctuate in value in the short term but may also produce higher returns than lower risk investments over the long term. The Fund is only suitable for long-term investors The Fund seeks to deliver its objective through a dynamic asset allocation strategy involving several asset classes (including equities, fixed income securities and cash as well as commodities and property), primarily through direct investments, financial derivative instruments and investments in collective investment schemes. The Fund will also make tactical asset allocations as and when appropriate opportunities arise. The Fund will typically invest in a diversified and broad range of these asset classes. The Fund is not restricted in the asset classes it can invest in. The Fund will generally invest by reference to macroeconomic themes, rather than by individual stock picking. The Fund will also take directional views on equity markets, equity sectors and themes, fixed income markets and on commodity and property indices, and can also express relative views (eg. on markets or indices) or may take positions on the volatility of indices. The Investment Manager will seek to dynamically adjust the investments of the Fund according to the risk tolerances it will apply to the Fund. In so doing, it will seek to limit downside risk at the expense of some upside potential. The Investment Manager believes that the Fund s diversified investment strategy should enable it to lower the Fund s risk profile relative to, and accordingly to have lower volatility than, traditional balanced funds. The Fund is not restricted in the proportion of the Fund that can be invested in any particular asset classes. However, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in investments which the Responsible Entity reasonably expects can be realised for their market value within 10 days. The Fund invests on a worldwide basis and will be generally diversified across a wide range of asset classes and investment strategies. It will aim to generate attractive returns and also limit the risk of losses by actively changing the mix of asset classes in which it is invested as the Investment Manager s views on their relative risk/return characteristics change over time. These views will be informed by both macro-economic factors and shorter term tactical views on the market.

9 Changing the investment strategy Labour, environmental, social and ethical considerations Fund performance The investment strategy and asset allocation parameters may be changed. If a change is to be made, investors in the Fund will be notified in accordance with the Corporations Act. Neither EQT or the Investment Manager have a formal policy for considering how these considerations impact an investment decision. Up to date information on the performance of the Fund can be obtained from A free of charge paper copy of the information will also be available on request. 6. Fees and 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 final return by up to 20% over a 30 year period (for example, reduce it from $ 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 cost 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 ( has a managed investment fee calculator to help you check out different fee options. The information in the following table can be used to compare costs between this and other managed investment schemes. Fees and costs are deducted from the assets of the Fund and reduce the investment return to unit holders. Type of fee or cost Amount Fees when your money moves in or out of the Fund Establishment Fee Contribution Fee Withdrawal Fee Termination Fee Nil Nil Nil Nil Management Costs The fees and costs for managing your 1.10% p.a. of the value of your units in the Fund 2 investment 1 1 Management costs quoted are inclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST) and net of any Reduced Input Tax Credits (RITC) at the prescribed rate, which is currently either 55% or 75% (depending on the nature of the fee or expense). 2 The amount of this fee can be negotiated. See Differential fees below. Additional Explanation of fees and costs What do the Management Costs pay for? Buy/Sell Spread The Management Costs include Responsible Entity fees, investment management fees, custodian fees, administration fees and other expenses. They are calculated and accrued daily based on the NAV of the Fund. The accrued fees are paid in arrears from the Fund at the end of each month. The Management Costs reduce the NAV of the Fund and are reflected in the unit price. Please note: The Fund will typically invest in other collective investment schemes, including those managed by the Investment Manager. Where the Fund does invest in collective investment schemes managed by the Investment Manager, no annual investment management fee will be charged by the underlying fund, but other expenses (eg administration, audit and legal costs) will usually be incurred. Where the Fund invests in collective investment schemes not managed by the Investment Manager both investment management fees and other expenses will be incurred. These costs are not included in the Management Costs. The Buy/Sell Spread reflects the estimated costs incurred in buying or selling assets of the Fund when investors invest in or withdraw from the Fund. The Buy/Sell Spread is an additional cost to the investor but is incorporated into the unit price and incurred when an investor invests in or withdraws from the Fund and is not separately charged to the investor. The Buy/Sell Spread is paid into the Fund and not paid to EQT or the Investment Manager. The estimated Buy/Sell Spread is 0.21% upon entry and 0.21% upon exit. The Buy/Sell Spread can be altered by the Responsible Entity at any time to reflect the actual costs

10 incurred by the Fund. The Responsible Entity may also waive the Buy/Sell Spread in part or in full at its discretion. Can the fees change? Differential fees mfund Yes, all fees can change without investor consent, subject to the maximum fee amounts specified in the Constitution. EQT has the right to recover all proper and reasonable expenses incurred in managing the Fund and as such these expenses may increase or decrease accordingly. We will generally provide investors with at least 30 days notice of any proposed change to the Management Costs. Expense recoveries may change without notice, for example, when it is necessary to protect the interests of existing members and if permitted by law. In most circumstances, the Constitution defines the maximum fees that can be charged for fees described in this PDS. The Investment Manager may from time to time negotiate a different fee arrangement (by way of a rebate or waiver of fees) with certain investors. Warning: if you are transacting through mfund your stockbroker or accredited intermediary may charge you additional fees (see their Financial Services Guide). Example of annual fees and costs for the Fund This table gives an example of how the fees and costs for this managed investment product can affect your investment over a 1 year period. You should use this table to compare this product with other managed investment products. EXAMPLE Insight Diversified Inflation Plus Fund Class A units BALANCE OF $50,000 WITH A TOTAL CONTRIBUTION OF $5,000 DURING THE YEAR Contribution Fees Nil For every $5,000 you put in, you will be charged $0. Plus Management Costs Equals Cost of Fund 1.10% p.a. And, for every $50,000 you have in the fund you will be charged $550 each year. 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, then you would be charged fees of: $550** What it costs you will depend on the fees you negotiate. ** This example assumes the $5,000 contribution occurs at the end of the first year, therefore management costs are calculated using the $50,000 balance only. The management costs would be $605 if you had invested the $5,000 for a full 12 months. Additional fees may apply. Please note that this example does not capture all the fees and costs that may apply to you such as the Buy/Sell Spread. ASIC provides a fee calculator on which you may use to calculate the effects of fees and costs on your investment in the Fund. 7.
