Whether you run a charity or other not-for-profit organisation, your stakeholders have unique needs. It is your responsibility to deploy the capital in your care to meet those needs both now and in the future. That is a significant and potentially time consuming burden, especially when you are providing important services on a day to day basis. As you are dealing with money entrusted to you by others, you also need to meet high standards of accountability. A Macquarie Individually Managed Account can help you manage these responsibilities. It can help you achieve a better financial result, which means you can better serve your stakeholders. It can also make managing money easier, safer and more transparent.
Introducing Macquarie Customised Portfolio Management What is an Individually Managed Account? An Individually Managed Account is a professionally managed investment structure that gives your organisation ownership of the underlying securities. Your organisation can tailor the portfolio to meet your income, growth, taxation and risk management needs. Customisation also gives you the ability to reflect ethical or other considerations in your portfolio. When working with charities and not-for-profit organisations, Macquarie will typically focus on investment portfolios that are risk managed and skewed towards fully franked yield that takes advantage of the favourable not-for-profit tax status. As the portfolio is both customised and professionally administered, you enjoy all the benefits of expert investment and risk management without the day-to-day workload of managing the portfolio. Macquarie s Individually Managed Account Key Features Professional investment management and administration An investment structure that provides direct beneficial ownership allowing transparency, portability and tax management An investment management focus on delivering the return best suited to your tax structure such as franking credits for organisations with Income Tax Exempt (ITE) status Customised to address your key investment parameters Exceptional transparency and accountability through 24 / 7 online portfolio visibility and comprehensive investment and tax reporting. The key to making it work your Investment Policy Statement The success of any investment portfolio depends on clear objectives. Macquarie will work with you to develop a written Investment Policy Statement (IPS) that clarifies your organisation s investment objectives and how they will be achieved. The IPS works to balance your desired return and key investment considerations such as: Investment philosophy Investment time horizon Risk profile Cashflows Tax status Preference for income or growth Diversification approach that aligns to your overall strategy Ethical or other issues that would exclude certain sectors or securities In addition to driving better investment decisions, the IPS rules take the emotion out of investing reducing the temptation to panic in volatile markets and chase performance in a boom. The IPS will help your organisation comply with the obligations of trustees and their requirements for investment knowledge, performance monitoring and an understanding of the asset allocation process. A tax focus that delivers a better real result Not-for-profit organisations often enjoy a special tax status that recognises their work on behalf of others. A Macquarie Individually Managed Account can maximise the value of that tax status at both the portfolio construction stage and in day-to-day investment. If your organisation has Income Tax Exempt status, Macquarie s investment managers can weight your portfolio towards shares producing franked dividends. As a result your organisation benefits from any refund of the imputation credits that may be available. The investment team can also participate in appropriate share buybacks that generate imputation credits. Macquarie aims to produce a return that helps you serve your stakeholders. That could be regular, tax efficient income. Or long-term growth to build capital to meet future needs.
