5. How the Fund Invests 5.1 Investment objective The Fund aims to achieve positive absolute returns in excess of the Fund Benchmark, before fees and expenses, over the long term by taking both long and short positions in selected natural resources shares globally. 5.2 Investment strategy The Fund s strategy is an active long/short strategy with the typical asset classes held by the Fund being global listed resources shares with a focus on North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, and other equity-like securities and derivatives (including equity swaps and foreign exchange forwards), convertible bonds, corporate bonds, cash and cash equivalent instruments. The Fund may have a net investment range between -100% and +100% of its NAV invested in both long and short positions. The investment process seeks to benefit from the inherent volatility in the natural resources sector by using a combination of top down macro analysis and bottom up stock selection to find long and short investment ideas. Commodities are ranked from least to most favoured using a combination of demand and supply modelling, cash cost and incentive price curves, inventory and trade data and quantitative checks. Tribeca s significant quantitative screening skills are used to identify both long and short investment candidates within the natural resources sector globally. Fundamental research including company modelling and valuation is undertaken in accordance with underlying commodity ranking before final investment decisions are made. Portfolio construction and risk management tools are used at all times including daily portfolio characteristics testing. The investment universe will generally be categorised into either natural resources companies or a company whose main activity is the provision of services to this sector. In implementing its investment strategy, the Investment Manager may use leverage, derivatives and short selling to gain exposure to certain assets or asset classes or to hedge its risk. Please refer to sections 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8 for further details. The success of the Investment Manager s investment strategy is subject to a number of factors and subject to a number of key risks and assumptions. These risk factors, assumptions and the Fund s risk management measures are summarised in section 6. The Investment Manager reserves the right to change the investment strategy from time to time. Any changes to the investment strategy will be notified to investors in accordance with the law. All investments carry risks. The risks of the Fund include risks inherent with a global investment strategy. More information can be found in section 6 Managing Risks. 5.3 Fund Structure The Fund is a registered managed investment scheme pursuant to the Corporations Act. It is a unit trust with several classes of units and is governed by the Constitution. The Fund comprises assets which are acquired in accordance with its investment strategy. This PDS relates to the offer of a wholesale class of units only. Investors receive wholesale class units when they invest. In general, each unit represents an individual s interest in the assets of the Fund as a whole subject to liabilities; however it does not give the investor an interest in any particular asset. The value of a unit in the Fund is determined by reference to the assets and liabilities referable to a class of unit in the Fund. Equity Trustees is the responsible entity of the Fund and has appointed Tribeca as the Investment Manager to manage the investments of the Fund on a day-to-day basis. The Responsible Entity has engaged a number of professional service providers to provide a range of investment, administration and back office services to the Fund including custody, brokerage, administration services and transaction execution. The Responsible Entity has entered into written service agreements with the service providers and will, with the assistance of Tribeca, regularly monitor the performance of the service providers against service standards set out in the relevant agreements. Tribeca Global Natural Resources Fund PDS 7

The service providers and their relationship to the Fund and the flow of funds through the Fund are shown in the diagram below. As at the date of this PDS, the service providers to the Fund are: Investment Manager: Tribeca is responsible for managing the investments of the Fund. For further details on Tribeca s role please refer to section 4. The Investment Manager is located in Australia. Prime Brokers and Custodians: UBS AG and Morgan Stanley & Co International plc will act as the prime brokers for the Fund, and UBS Nominees and Morgan Stanley & Co International plc will act as custodians for the Fund. Their respective roles are described in section 4 of this PDS. UBS AG (Sydney Branch) and UBS Nominees are each located in Australia. Morgan Stanley & Co International plc is located in the United Kingdom. Administrator and Cash Custodian: J.P.Morgan provides fund accounting and unit registry services in connection with the Fund. For further details on J.P.Morgan s role please refer to section 4. J.P.Morgan is also responsible for holding custody of application money, excess cash, short dated cash instruments and other unencumbered, unleveraged instruments. The Administrator and Cash Custodian is located in Australia. Service providers to the Fund may change without prior notice to investors. Investors will be notified of any change to service providers in the regular reports available as described in section 8. Risks relating to the use of third party service providers are outlined in section 6. 5.4 Valuation, location and custody of assets All positions in the Fund are independently valued by the Administrator. The majority of assets currently traded and held in the Fund are exchange traded and are valued on a mark to market basis at the close of trading on each day. The Fund has exposure to assets denominated in currencies other than AUD. Typically, assets may include and are not limited to exposure to the United States Dollar, British Pound, and the Euro. Assets not traded on exchanges include cash and cash equivalent instruments, securities expected to be listed within 90 days, bills of exchange and short dated cash contracts. These assets are liquid and valued independently by the Administrator in accordance with the market value of the assets. For the purpose of calculating the NAV of the Fund, the Administrator shall, and shall be entitled to, rely on, and will not be responsible for the accuracy of, financial data furnished to it by the Prime Brokers, market makers and/or independent third party pricing services. The Administrator may also use and rely on industry standard financial models in pricing any of the Fund s securities or other assets. Note that the Fund can take positions in instruments from a number of asset classes including, but not limited to: Australian listed equities and international listed equities which may be listed on any world exchange; Australian unlisted equities and international unlisted equities which are expected to be listed within 90 days; Derivatives including, but not limited to, equity swaps and foreign exchange forwards; Convertible bonds; Corporate bonds; and Cash and cash equivalent instruments, bills of exchange or similar securities in all currencies; The Fund may invest in assets located anywhere in the world. However, the Fund will focus on assets located in North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific. Assets will be valued in the currencies issued by the country in which the assets are located and will be converted into AUD at the relevant exchange rate quoted by an independent pricing provider on each Pricing Date. Fund assets will be held by the Custodians or Cash Custodian which are located in Australia as per the table below. As described in section 5.3, excess cash, short dated cash instruments and other unencumbered, unleveraged instruments are held in custody by the Administrator. Other assets are held in prime brokerage accounts and may be subject to counterparty risk should issues arise with the Prime Brokers. The custodial arrangements in respect of various asset classes are described in the table below. 8 Tribeca Global Natural Resources Fund PDS

Asset Class Responsible Custodian Location of Custodian Assets as a proportion of Net Asset Value of the Fund All (other than cash and cash equivalents held by J.P.Morgan) UBS Nominees Australia -100% +100% Unencumbered cash and cash equivalent investments J.P.Morgan Australia 0% - 200% 5.5 Liquidity The majority of assets currently traded and held by the Fund are liquid. In recognition of ASIC s Regulatory Guide 240 Hedge Funds: Improving disclosure, the Responsible Entity and Investment Manager expect that the Fund will be able to realise at least 80% of the Fund s assets, at the value ascribed to those assets in the most recent calculation of NAV, within 10 Business Days. Generally, it is the Investment Manager s policy to ensure that the Fund remains liquid. 5.6 Leverage The Fund can employ leverage. This means gains and losses are amplified and may be significantly greater than those in a fund that is not leveraged. Leverage may be used to gain exposure to certain assets or asset classes or to hedge its risk. Note that the Fund has a hard limit of 200% gross exposure at any one time, and a net exposure range of -100% to +100%. The maximum anticipated level of leverage of the Fund is 200% of the Fund s NAV. This means that for every $1 of the Fund s NAV, the Fund may be leveraged up to $2.00. For example, this means that compared with an unleveraged fund, assuming that the Fund reaches its maximum gross exposure of 200% of NAV, then a: 1% increase in the return on assets of the Fund will result in a 2% increase in return to investors; and 1% decrease in the return on assets of the Fund will result in a 2% decrease in returns to investors. This example has been provided for reference purposes only. Any assumptions underlying these examples are hypothetical only. However, whilst a short position can often reduce risk, it is also possible for the Fund s long positions and short positions to both lose money at the same time. Leverage is provided by the Prime Brokers (UBS AG and Morgan Stanley). The obligations to the Prime Brokers in respect of such leverage will be secured by collateral (see page 22 for further detail). 5.7 Derivatives The Investment Manager may use derivatives to gain exposure to certain assets or asset classes or to hedge its risk. A derivative is a financial instrument whose value depends on underlying variables. In the Fund, the most common derivatives are equity swaps, futures and foreign exchange forwards, which can be over the counter ( OTC ) or exchange traded. A derivative is essentially a contract whose payoff depends on the value of something else, such as a benchmark or the price of a security or currency. There is often leverage inherent in derivative positions, as only a small initial margin is usually required to establish positions in most derivatives. Risks associated with derivatives may include adverse movement in the physical asset or benchmark underlying the derivative, potential illiquidity of the derivative, the Fund being unable to meet payment obligations as they arise and the counterparty to any derivative contract not being able to meet its obligations under the contract. Counterparty risk refers to the fact that certain portions of exposure and Collateral held at Prime Brokers are held in the Prime Broker s name. Exposure to assets, such as foreign exchange forwards and other OTC positions, as well as the Collateral to support those positions, are held by the Prime Brokers in an account controlled by the Responsible Entity and the Investment Manager, but owned by the Prime Brokers. This means that the Fund will be a general creditor to the Prime Brokers. In the Fund, derivatives can be used to create long/short portfolio positions in equities, equity indices and other types of exposure where appropriate. Derivatives may also be used to hedge risk. Leverage and counterparty exposure is monitored closely by the Investment Manager and strictly controlled to achieve the aims of the Fund by closely monitoring the financial health of counterparties. 5.8 Short selling The Fund regularly engages in short selling in order to take advantage of securities that are mis-priced. The Fund may also use short selling to gain exposure to certain assets or asset classes or to hedge its risk In creating a short position, the Fund will borrow a security from a securities lender (such as the Prime Brokers) and sell it with the intention of repurchasing the security when the price of the security falls. If the price of the security rises, a loss is incurred which can be greater than the purchased value of the security if the price of the security continues to rise. There is also the risk that the securities lender may recall a security that the Fund has borrowed at any time which means that the Fund may have to buy the security at an unfavourable price to meet its obligations. These risks can be managed by ensuring short positions are primarily in liquid securities rather than the small, low liquidity assets which are more regularly subject to price spikes and short squeezes. 5.9 Withdrawals Withdrawal requests are processed monthly. Withdrawal requests must be received at least one month in advance by 12.00pm (noon) on the last Business Day of the month in order to receive the next month s withdrawal price. Equity Trustees will generally pay withdrawals within 7 days of determining the applicable Withdrawal Price. However, the Constitution of the Fund allows Equity Trustees to make payment up to 21 days after Equity Trustees accepts the redemption request, This period may be extended by up to 30 days if the Responsible Entity considers that it is in the best interests of members to do so, or by the number of days during which an Exceptional Circumstance, described in the next paragraph, apply. An Exceptional Circumstance is where it is not possible or not in the best interests of unit holders for the Responsible Entity to process redemption requests or pay the Withdrawal Price in respect of a redemption request the Responsible Entity has Tribeca Global Natural Resources Fund PDS 9

accepted due to one or more circumstances outside its control. Such circumstances may include, but are not necessarily limited to: restricted or suspended trading; extreme price fluctuation; and uncertainty in the market for an asset of the Fund. The Responsible Entity also has a right to suspend the consideration of withdrawal requests where an Exceptional Circumstance is present. The Fund trades predominately in liquid instruments and therefore it is likely that withdrawal requests can be satisfied in virtually all market conditions. Where the Fund is not liquid (as defined in the Corporations Act), investors will only be able to withdraw their investment if Equity Trustees makes a withdrawal offer. Investors will be notified in the unlikely event that material changes to withdrawal rights are made. Please see section 7 for further details of applications and withdrawals. 5.10 Suggested investment timeframe The suggested investment timeframe is at least 5 to 7 years. 5.11 Labour standards and environmental, social and ethical considerations Neither Equity Trustees nor Tribeca takes labour standards or environmental, social or ethical considerations into account when making their investment decisions. However, where those factors may negatively impact the investment performance or company stability, Tribeca s investment team will generally discuss these matters with company management and/or review the decision to hold the specific investment. No specific methodology is used for such reviews nor are there pre-determined views about the extent to which such factors will be taken into account in a review. 5.12 Fund performance Fund performance is available by calling Tribeca on +61 2 9640 2600. Please note that due to the historical nature of performance information and the volatility of returns, future returns may differ from past returns. 10 Tribeca Global Natural Resources Fund PDS

6. Managing Risk All investments carry risk. 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 significant risks below should be considered in light of your risk profile when deciding whether to invest in the Fund. 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. Neither Equity Trustees nor Tribeca guarantee the liquidity of the Fund s investments, repayment of capital or any rate of return or the Fund s investment performance. You may lose money by investing in the Fund and your investment in the Fund may not meet your objectives. Future returns may differ from past returns. In addition neither Equity Trustees nor Tribeca offers 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. The Fund should be considered as a high risk strategy investment. It is not intended as a complete investment program. The Fund is designed only for informed and educated investors who can bear the economic risks of the loss of their investment in the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective or that any investor will get their money back. Some of the risks associated with an investment in the Fund and how the Investment Manager manages those risks are listed below. There is no guarantee that any risk mitigation measures described below will be effective. Key risks Company specific risk There may be instances where the value of a company s securities will fall because of company specific factors (for example, where a company s major product is subject to a product recall). The value of a company s securities can also vary because of changes to management, product, distribution or the company s business environment. This risk is somewhat mitigated by the knowledge and experience of the Investment Manager. Concentration risk The Fund may have exposure to a small number of key investments. Returns of the Fund may be dependent upon the performance of individual companies and industry sectors. The concentrated exposure may lead to increased volatility and increase the risk of poor performance in the Fund. The Investment Manager manages the concentration risk by monitoring security limits within the Fund. Currency risk The Fund has exposure to investments denominated in currencies other than the Australian Dollar. Currency risk is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the Australian Dollar and foreign currencies impact the value of the Fund s foreign investments. The Investment Manager may choose to hedge or not hedge currency risk, however the Investment Manager generally intends to hedge currency risk. Derivatives risk See section 5.7. Interest rate risk Changes in official interest rates can directly and indirectly impact (positively or negatively) on investment returns. Generally, an increase in interest rates has a contractionary effect on the state of the economy and the valuation of securities. For example, rising interest rates can have a negative impact on a company s value as increased borrowing costs may cause earnings to decline. As a result, the company s share price may fall. Leverage risk See section 5.6. Liquidity risk There may be times when investments may not be readily sold (for example, in a falling market where some traded securities may become less liquid). Moreover, some securities may be thinly traded and there may not be sufficient market depth to facilitate the efficient realisation of those assets at all times. However, in the Investment Manager s opinion, trading volumes of investments that are to be made by the Fund are generally sufficient to satisfy liquidity requirements when necessary. The Fund generally invests in highly liquid investments which are traded in an active market, and can be readily disposed of. The Investment Manager will attempt to mitigate the liquidity risk factor by ensuring that the Fund has sufficient cash (or cash equivalent) exposure to meet liquidity requirements. Note that neither the Responsible Entity nor the Investment Manager guarantees the liquidity of the Fund s investments. Market risk Changes in legal and economic policy, political events, technology failure, changes in interest rates, economic cycles, investor sentiment and social climate can all directly or indirectly create an environment that may influence (negatively or positively) the value of your investment in the Fund. In addition, a downward move in the general level of the equity market can have a negative influence on the performance of the Fund. The Fund s guidelines permit short-selling and other techniques which can be employed by the Investment Manager to reduce the risk of market declines. Regulatory risk This is the risk that domestic or international laws or regulations (including tax laws) are changed adversely or that regulatory supervision of transactions and reporting is performed by the Investment Manager at less than an appropriate standard. The Investment Manager aims to manage this risk by regularly and closely reviewing changes in the regulatory and tax environment. Short selling risk See section 5.8.

Withdrawals will only be paid directly to the unit holder s bank account held in the name of the unit holder with an Australian-domiciled bank. Withdrawal payments will not be made to third parties. Access to Funds Investors wishing to withdraw units can do so by sending a written request to withdraw from the Fund as least one month prior to the next Pricing Date. Equity Trustees will generally pay withdrawals within 7 days of determining the Withdrawal Price. However, the Constitution allows Equity Trustees to make payment up to 21 days after Equity Trustees accepts the withdrawal request. This period may be extended by a further 30 days if the Responsible Entity considers that it is in the best interests of members to do so, or by the number of days during which an Exceptional Circumstance, described in the next paragraph, apply. An Exceptional Circumstance is where if it is not possible, or not in the best interests of unit holders, for the Responsible Entity to process redemption requests or pay the Withdrawal Price in respect of a redemption request the Responsible Entity has accepted. Such circumstances may include, but are not necessarily limited to: restricted or suspended trading; extreme price fluctuation; and uncertainty in the market for an asset of the Fund. The Responsible Entity also has a right to suspend the consideration of withdrawal requests where an Exceptional Circumstance is present. Equity Trustees reserves the right to fully redeem your investment, if your investment balance in the Fund falls below $500,000 as a result of processing your withdrawal request. If Equity Trustees increases this minimum amount, Equity Trustees may, after giving 30 days notice to a unit holder who holds units with an aggregate Withdrawal Price less than the new current minimum balance amount, redeem that unit holder s units without the need for a withdrawal request. Equity Trustees may also request that a unit holder dispose of their units to a person who is an Eligible Person or where the Fund is liquid (as defined in the Corporations Act), lodge a withdrawal request in respect of all units the unit holder holds within 30 days (or such longer period as Equity Trustees may determine from time to time). If the unit holder fails to comply with that request and the Fund is liquid, Equity Trustees may compulsorily redeem the unit holder s units. Terms and conditions for withdrawals Once your withdrawal request is received, your instruction may be acted on 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). Equity Trustees and/or the Administrator reserve the right to ask for the production of original documents or other information to authenticate the communication. In the case of mis-receipt or corruption of any message you will be required to re-send the documents. No withdrawal proceeds will be paid until the Administrator has received the withdrawal request signed by the investor or an authorised signatory of the investor. Neither Equity Trustees nor the Administrator shall be responsible for any mis-delivery or non-receipt of any facsimile. Facsimiles sent to the Administrator shall only be effective when actually received by the Administrator. When you are withdrawing, you should take note of the following: We are not responsible or liable if you do not receive, or are late in receiving, any withdrawal money that is paid according to your instructions. We may contact you to check your details before processing your withdrawal form. This may cause a delay in finalising payment of your withdrawal money. No interest is payable for any delay in finalising payment of your withdrawal money. If we cannot satisfactorily identify you as the withdrawing investor, we may refuse or reject your withdrawal request or payment of your withdrawal proceeds will be delayed. We are not responsible for any loss you consequently suffer. As an investor who is withdrawing, you agree that any payment made according to instructions received by post or courier, email or fax, shall be a complete satisfaction of our obligations, despite any fact or circumstances, such as the payment being made without your knowledge or authority. You agree that if the payment is made according to these terms, you and any person claiming through or under you, shall have no claim against us about the payment. The Constitution allows Equity Trustees to make payment up to 21 days after we accept a request (which may be extended in Exceptional Circumstances - see page 9). Pursuant to the Corporations Act and Constitution, Equity Trustees can deny a withdrawal request 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 Equity Trustees makes a withdrawal offer to investors in accordance with the Corporations Act. Equity Trustees is not obliged to make such offers. A fund will be liquid if at least 80% of its assets are liquid assets (generally cash and marketable securities). In addition, if Equity Trustees is unable to repatriate funds to meet withdrawal payments, it may suspend the calculation of the NAV and withhold withdrawal proceeds. Distributions The Fund usually distributes income semi-annually at the end of December and June. Distributions are calculated on the last day of period end (30 June and 31 December), and are normally paid to investors within 14 Business Days of the period end although the distribution may take longer. Equity Trustees may amend the distribution frequency without notice. 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 and the distributable income. Investors can have their distribution reinvested or paid to a nominated bank account. Investors who do not indicate a preference will have their distributions automatically reinvested immediately after the period end. In some circumstances, where an investor makes a large withdrawal request (5% or more of the units on issue in the Fund at the start of the relevant distribution period), their withdrawal proceeds may be taken to include a component of distributable income. New Zealand investors New Zealand investors can only have their distribution reinvested. When the distribution is reinvested, New Zealand investors will be allotted units in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this PDS. Tribeca Global Natural Resources Fund PDS 13
