Manager Details and Fund Description

Manager: Magellan Financial Group Total FUM for all funds: AU$37,200m
Manager Overview:
Magellan Asset Management Limited (Magellan) was formed to generate attractive returns for clients by investing in global equities and global listed infrastructure while protecting their capital.

Magellan was founded in 2006 by Hamish Douglass and Chris Mackay and has offices in Australia, New Zealand and the US. Magellan is a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan Financial Group, which is one of the top-100 stocks by market value on the ASX.
Fund/Strategy Overview:

The Fund's primary investment objective is to achieve risk-adjusted returns over the medium to long term through investment in a diversified portfolio of companies listed on stock exchanges around the world. This objective incorporates the consideration of ESG factors and the application of our low carbon framework. The Fund's portfolio will comprise 70-90 securities at any one time but will also have some exposure to cash. It is not the Magellan's intention to hedge the foreign currency exposure of the Fund arising from investments in overseas markets. The Fund can use foreign exchange contracts to facilitate settlement of stock purchases. The Fund may also use exchange traded derivatives, in a limited manner, for risk management purposes.
