2. WELCOME LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPALS

Dear Investor,
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Auscap Long Short Australian Equities Fund.
The aim of the Fund is to deliver strong absolute returns that have a low correlation to the
performance of the Australian equities market.
The Fund will concentrate primarily on fundamental long investments and short positions, while
also utilising a multi-strategy approach to take advantage of short term market opportunities to
increase returns, hedge the portfolio, protect capital and minimise volatility where prudent.
Disciplined risk management is a key aspect of our investment process.
As the investment team, we have over 20 years combined experience in long and short investing in
financial markets in Australia, having previously worked at Goldman Sachs, Macquarie Group and
Merrill Lynch.
We believe that the market environment presents opportunities from both a long and short
perspective and have designed the Fund to best take advantage of these conditions. We are each
significantly co-invested in the Fund, ensuring the alignment of our interests with those of our
investors.
Our objective is to build long term compounding returns for our investors. As portfolio managers,
we will manage investor capital in a manner consistent with the investment strategy and the
process outlined in this Information Memorandum.
As principals of Auscap Asset Management, we intend to develop a leading funds management
business that has a reputation for consistent outperformance, strong risk management, a positive
culture and integrity.
We look forward to welcoming you into the Fund.

Tim Carleton

6. INVESTMENT MANAGER
Auscap Asset Management Pty Ltd (ABN 11 158 929 143) (Auscap or we) is the Trustee and
Investment Manager for the Fund. Auscap is an investment management company founded in 2012
and based in Sydney, Australia. Auscap holds an Australian financial services licence (AFS Licence
number 428014). Auscap was founded by Tim Carleton and Matthew Parker (the "Principals"), who
have worked together for a number of years and have considerable experience in and knowledge of
financial markets, particularly in Australian equities. Both Tim and Matthew are substantially coinvested in the Fund.
Tim Carleton
Tim has over 9 years experience in the financial services industry working in investment banking
and equities portfolio management. Tim was previously an executive director within the
proprietary strategies team at Goldman Sachs, responsible for managing a long short Australian
equities portfolio using Goldman Sachs proprietary funds.
Prior to joining Goldman Sachs in 2007, Tim worked at Macquarie Bank within the Investment
Banking Group. He was involved in significant principal transactions using Macquarie Bank funds
and in advising ASX listed companies. Tim is a CFA charterholder, has a Bachelor of Laws (Hons)
from the University of Sydney and a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance and Economics) from the
University of Sydney.
Matthew Parker
Matthew has over 15 years experience in the financial services industry working within equities
trading, dealing and portfolio management. Matthew was previously an executive director within
the proprietary strategies team at Goldman Sachs responsible for managing a long/short equity
portfolio using Goldman Sachs proprietary funds.
Prior to joining Goldman Sachs in 2008, Matthew spent 9 years at Merrill Lynch Australia as a
director responsible for managing a long short equity portfolio using Merrill Lynch Australia
proprietary funds.
Auscap Team
Auscap uses a dual manager approach to the investment and portfolio management decision
making process. This involves both Principals collaborating to determine significant portfolio
investments and positions. Auscap believes the dual portfolio manager approach has considerable
benefits in terms of idea generation, investment decision making, utilising the Principals
complementary skills and qualities, market coverage, accountability, portfolio risk management
and business continuity. The Principals have considerable experience in equities portfolio
management including: the use of fundamental and technical analysis; disciplined risk analysis and
management; conducting their own independent research across market sectors and companies;
and leveraging relationships across a broad network of analysts, brokers and investment
professionals.
Further, Auscap has engaged top tier independent service providers to manage the prime
brokerage, custody, fund administration, unit registry, risk reporting, accounting, legal and audit
requirements of the business (as discussed in section 12, Additional Information). This ensures that
best practice principles are followed in all aspects of the investment and operational management
of the Fund.
7. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES & PROCESS

Fund Details
The Fund is a wholesale Australian domiciled unregistered managed investment scheme. Auscap is
Trustee and Investment Manager of the Fund. Citigroup Global Markets Limited has been
appointed as Custodian and Prime Broker. White Outsourcing Pty Ltd has been appointed to
provide fund administration and unit registry services for the Fund. The governing rules of the Fund
are detailed in the Funds Constitution, a copy of which is available upon request from Auscap.
Auscap, in its capacity as investment manager of the Fund, is responsible for directing the
investment of the Fund's assets in accordance with the investment objective and the investment
strategy.
Investment Objective
The Funds investment objective is to generate strong absolute returns in excess of the benchmark,
being the Reserve Bank of Australia Cash Rate (Benchmark), with low correlation to equity
markets.
Investment Strategy
The Fund utilises an investment strategy that seeks to deliver consistent returns in excess of the
Fund Benchmark. The Fund is an Australian equities fund that focuses on fundamental long and
short investments while utilising a multi-strategy approach to take advantage of shorter term
market opportunities to increase returns, hedge the portfolio, protect capital and minimise
volatility where prudent. Disciplined risk management is a key aspect of our investment process.

with expected performance and risk measures.
The Fund may hold cash so that it is in a position to take advantage of market volatility and
compelling investment and market opportunities as and when they arise.

Review
Fundamental
Valuation

Recognising key macroeconomic variables including growth,

inflation, interest rates, unemployment and availability of

business cycles, reserve/central bank policies
Identifying structural attributes of a particular industry

including key determinants of, and current dynamics
affecting, sector profitability
Determining the relative value proposition between sectors
and industries
Reviewing Government regulatory influence and risks
Conducting quantitative and qualitative research into and

evaluation of: mid-cycle earnings; return on capital and
equity; sustainable competitive advantages; strength of
company management; capital position; and competition
Estimating fair value and ensuring sufficient margin of safety
between valuation and purchase/sale price
Identifying factors that will return a stock to fair value

Maintaining an awareness of key corporate events, lead
indicators, momentum, extremes in sentiment or security
mispricing due to one-off incidents
Utilising technical indicators to gain good entry into, and exit
out of, core positions
Determining appropriate position size given expected

performance, risk characteristics and stock liquidity
Initiating positions and setting target valuations
Constantly monitoring, evaluating and re-assessing positions
Disciplined risk management
In order to maximise investor returns, Auscap will take into consideration tax and income benefits,
including franking credits, that can be passed through to Australian investors.
Opportunistic Multi-Strategy Investment Process

The opportunistic multi-strategy approach will employ a number of strategies that aim to both
enhance returns and reduce the volatility of the Fund. Strategies may include:
Portfolio
Hedging
Earnings Revisions
Candidates
Changing
Industry
Structure
Event
Positions
Risk
Arbitrage
Reducing market risk and exposure during periods when the

market looks expensive, or during periods of uncertainty, to
reduce the volatility of, and enhance the returns for, investors
Hedging against specific industry exposures
Purchasing protection to mitigate tail or event risk
Recognising and taking advantage of discrepancies between

investment community expectations and the economic
reality/current circumstances
Looking to benefit from company and industry momentum as
a result of the change in the company outlook and anchoring
of expectations
Identifying crowded positioning
Recognising industries with structural changes impacting the

sustainability of earnings; barriers to entry; profit margins;
cost of production; and/or capital expenditure requirements
Identifying companies within industries that are undergoing
structural adjustments due to: technological developments;
product competition; development of substitute products;
changing social attitudes/behaviour; and/or regulation
Discovery and recognition of opportunities with respect to:

company restructurings; spin-offs; asset sales; stock splits;
and other corporate activity
Understanding valuation outcomes that result from
significant announcements
Identifying value based on changing circumstances
Dual listed arbitrage, which involves taking advantage of

discrepancies between a security that is listed on multiple
exchanges and at times trades at different prices
Identifying arbitrage opportunities with respect to mergers
and takeovers, with strict conditions for a risk-arbitrage to be
considered favourable
Risk Management
Strong and disciplined risk management is a key focus for the Investment Manager. The Investment
Manager will seek to monitor and minimise risk to reduce the volatility of returns. The risk
management process will include:
Daily internal reporting of portfolio risk and liquidity measures;
Monitoring of risk parameters with automatic breach notification by the Administrator;
Calculating and monitoring risk via internal control systems utilising aggregate, sector and
single name exposure and scenario analysis risk management tools;
Focusing on liquid securities where there is less pricing and liquidity risk;
A quarterly review of the risk management processes by the Auscap board; and
Monthly reporting of Fund returns to investors.
Fund Instruments
Along with Australian listed equities, the Fund may from time to time have exposure to the
following financial products:
Listed futures (predominantly on listed equities, trusts, funds and indices)
Foreign exchange and related instruments (such as forwards, futures or swaps)
Foreign listed equities, including Australian dual listed equities, fungible equities, American
Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and pooled investment vehicles
Derivatives (predominantly exchange traded options on listed equities, indices and on
occasion other assets)
At times the Fund may invest in other financial products where the Investment Manager deems it
appropriate.
Derivatives
Derivatives may be used by the Fund for hedging and non-hedging purposes such as:
to manage particular risks;
to implement an investment strategy in a cost efficient manner;
as a substitute for direct investment in securities; or
to reduce risk or gain exposure to other types of investments where appropriate.
Leverage
The Fund may be geared up to 200% gross long or gross short and up to 150% net long or net short.
Gearing has the potential to enhance both returns and losses and its use may increase the risk
profile of the Fund. As an illustration only, if we assume the Fund has $100m in funds under
management, the Investment Manager could implement strategies that result in the Fund having
up to $200m of gross long positions and up to $200m of gross short positions. However, the net
position of the Fund (the delta of gross longs less gross shorts) could never exceed $150m net long
or $150m net short. Auscap does not intend to utilise these percentage limits on a regular basis.
Underwriting and Sub-Underwriting

Auscap may identify investment opportunities that involve underwriting or sub-underwriting
arrangements. Auscap may make such investments not for the purposes of providing underwriting
but rather for investing in accordance with the investment strategy of the Fund. Should the
Investment Manager earn a fee for underwriting services, these fees will reduce the fees it receives
from the Fund in the following fee calculation period.
8. RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

All investments have an inherent level of risk. While Auscap has established risk management and
investment processes that seek to mitigate the risks associated with the Fund, investment in the
Fund carries certain risks. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective
and investors should fully understand and be capable of assuming the risks of investing in the Fund.
In deciding whether to invest in the Fund, you should consider that you may lose some or all of your
investment, the value of your investment may go down, you could receive little or no income and
there may be delays in repayment. The key risks outlined below do not purport to be a complete
explanation of all the risks associated with investing in the Fund.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the market value of a security may move up and/or down, sometimes
rapidly and unpredictably.
Long and Short Equity Risk
The Investment Manager will be engaged in the purchase and short sale of securities. This means
that investors may lose money on long positions due to unpredictable drops in a security's value or
periods of below-average performance in a given security or in the securities market as a whole.
Conversely, investors may lose money on short positions due to unpredictable appreciation in a
securitys value or periods of above-average performance in a security or the securities market as a
whole.
Management Risk
Management risk is the risk that the Investment Manager's investment strategy could fail to
achieve the Fund's investment objective and could result in a decrease in the value of an
investment in the Fund. The Fund is subject to management risk because it is actively managed. In
making investment decisions for the Fund, the Investment Manager will apply the Funds
investment strategy, but there is no guarantee that the Investment Manager's decisions will
produce the intended result.
Concentration Risk
The Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities, or in
securities in a limited number of industries, which may cause the value of the Fund's investments to
be more affected by any single adverse economic, political or regulatory event than the
investments of a more diversified investment portfolio.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises when investments are made in securities which are traded on an infrequent
basis, or in securities which are not traded regularly on any financial market. Should the Fund hold
illiquid securities then it may not be able to sell them at a fair price at the time it may wish to do so.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Fund may have exposure to foreign assets or assets with foreign currency earnings. These
assets and earnings may be subject to currency fluctuations between the Australian dollar and the
currency in which the investment is denominated which may cause the value of an investment in
the Fund to fall. The Investment Manager will evaluate foreign exchange exposure of the Fund and
may choose to undertake transactions that aim to reduce the impact of movements in exchange
rates on the value of the Funds assets. However, there is no guarantee that the strategy will be
successful or that currency risks will be mitigated. It may not be possible or practicable to hedge
successfully against currency exposure in all circumstances. The cost of hedging is an expense that
is borne by the Fund.
Borrowing and Leverage Risk

The Fund may leverage its capital, in accordance with the investment strategy (as outlined on page
12), because the Investment Manager believes that the use of leverage may enable the Fund to
achieve a higher rate of return. In order to do so, the Fund may pledge its securities to borrow
additional funds for investment purposes. The Fund may leverage its capital through the use of
derivatives and short sales. Leverage can magnify both the gains and losses and investors may
experience increased volatility in the value of their investments.
Personnel Risk
Key personnel of the Investment Manager, who are significant to the management of the Fund and
its underlying portfolios, may become unable or unavailable to perform their role.
Derivatives Risk
Derivatives are used to adjust security and portfolio risk-reward profiles and, as a result, have
various risks attached to them. The risk of using derivatives might include: the value of the
derivative failing to move in line with the underlying asset; potential illiquidity of the derivative; the
possibility that the derivative position is difficult or costly to reverse; the derivative not performing
as expected; premium decay over time; capital loss; or counterparty risk.
Counterparty Risk
Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to a transaction or contract (such as a broker or
other agent of Auscap) may default on their obligations and that the Fund may, as a result,
experience an adverse investment outcome or liability.
Fund Risk
Common risks associated with most managed funds include the risk that: the Fund may be
terminated; the fees and expenses could change; or the Trustee, or the investment professionals,
could change. The Trustee has the discretion to compulsorily redeem Units. In addition, the results
of investing in the Fund may lead to different results compared with investing directly in securities
because of income or capital gains accrued in the Fund and the consequences of other investors
investing in, or withdrawing from, the Fund. As the Fund has no operating history, there is no basis
on which to predict the future performance of the Fund or its underlying portfolios.
Legal, Regulatory & Tax Risk
Legal, regulatory and tax changes could occur during the term of the Fund, which may adversely
affect the Fund and its underlying investments. The value or tax treatment of an investment, or the
effectiveness of the Fund's trading or investment strategy may be adversely affected by changes in
government (including taxation) policies, regulations and laws, or changes in generally accepted
accounting policies or valuation methods.
Withdrawal Risk
If market events reduce the liquidity of a security or asset class, the generally applicable timeframe
for meeting withdrawal requests may not be met. It may take longer to sell these types of
investments at an acceptable price. In addition, if an investor or a group of investors seek to make
large withdrawals, then selling assets to meet those withdrawals may result in a detrimental impact
on the price received by the Fund for those assets. In certain circumstances it may be necessary to
suspend withdrawals to allow sufficient time for liquidation of assets to meet withdrawals.
9. FEES & EXPENSES

Auscap, as Trustee and Investment Manager, is entitled to receive management fees as listed
below. These fees are applicable as at the date of this Information Memorandum. Auscap will give
investors prior written notice of any variation of fees or charges by the Fund.
Management Fee
A management fee of 1.5% per annum (excluding GST) of the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund
accrues and is payable by the Fund to Auscap monthly in arrears. The NAV of the Fund is the value
of all its assets less all its liabilities.
Performance Fee
A performance fee of 15% Outperformance (excluding GST) is payable to Auscap. The performance
fee is referable to the Series you have invested in. Outperformance is calculated as the amount by
which the NAV per Unit of the relevant Series exceeds the High Watermark increased by the Hurdle
Rate. The High Watermark means, until a performance fee for that Series first becomes payable,
the Issue Price or otherwise, the highest NAV per Unit of the Series at the beginning of any
Performance Period. The Hurdle Rate is the Reserve Bank of Australia cash rate.
The performance fee is calculated and accrues monthly against the relevant Series and is paid in
arrears at the end of each half-year (Performance Period). Any accrued performance fee payable
in respect of the Units redeemed is calculated as at the Valuation Day on which the Units are
redeemed.
Performance Fee and Series Accounting
In order to ensure that Unitholders bear the performance fee according to the actual performance
of their Units, having regard to the different dates and prices at which such Units were acquired, a
new Series of Units will be issued in respect of each Subscription Day.
As soon as practicable after the last Valuation Day in each Performance Period, all Units in all Series
which have borne a performance fee in respect of the relevant Performance Period will normally be
consolidated into a single Series, being the oldest Series of such Class to have borne a performance
fee in respect of the relevant Performance Period. The High Watermark for all Units of the
consolidated Series will be the NAV per Unit of that consolidated Series as at the last Valuation Day
in the relevant Performance Period, after payment of the performance fee. If a performance fee is
not payable for a particular Series at the end of the Performance Period, the Series will not be
consolidated.
Other Fees
Buy/Sell Spread
Apart from the initial application for Units prior to commencement of the operation of the Fund, a
buy/sell spread of 0.2% is charged on all applications and redemptions for the costs of acquiring
and selling assets of the Fund to issue and redeem Units in the Fund. This is paid into the Fund to
the benefit of other Unitholders. This amount represents the expected average brokerage, clearing
and market impact costs incurred by the Fund to accommodate the issue and redemption of Units
in the Fund. Please see the section on Unit Pricing under Section 10, Investing in the Fund, for
further details.
Application Fee
There will be no application fee for applications for Units in the Fund for the life of this Information
Memorandum.
Exit Fee
There will be no exit fee for the redemption of Units in the Fund for the life of this Information
Memorandum.
Goods and Services Tax
Fees and charges quoted in this Information Memorandum are subject to GST where applicable, at
the rate applying on the date of the fee or charge, unless otherwise stated. The Fund may be
entitled to claim back reduced input tax credits on some of its expenses as applicable in line with
GST legislation.
Commission Payments
To the extent permitted by law, Auscap may pay fees, commissions and/or trailing commissions to
financial intermediaries who introduce capital to the Fund. Some financial intermediaries may elect
to rebate all or some of their fee or commission and waive any trailing commission as part of their
fee arrangement with investors. Such independent financial intermediaries are not agents of
Auscap, and Auscap is not liable for their acts or omissions.
Soft Commissions
Auscap may have soft commission arrangements in place with brokers and counterparties it uses to
execute transactions. Auscap may receive a benefit based on certain metrics, such as number of
trades executed through the respective broker or counterparty. Benefits received may include,
among other things: research and information services; portfolio risk and trade analysis; or
particular trade execution capabilities. While the benefits of such arrangements are generally used
to assist Auscap in managing the Fund, Auscap is entitled to retain, and is not accountable in any
way, to the Fund nor to any Unitholders, for soft commissions.
Other Fees and Expenses
The Fund will pay out of Fund assets other ordinary direct expenses such as custodial,
administrative, accounting, registry, legal, banking and audit expenses properly incurred in respect
of the Fund. These represent the operating expenses and outgoings in connection with the start-up
costs and day-to-day operation of the Fund. Extraordinary expenses, such as the costs of convening
Unitholder meetings or defending a third party claim made against the Fund, will also be paid by
the Fund.
Fees Waiver, Deferral or Reduction

Auscap retains the sole discretion to elect to waive, defer or reduce any fees from time to time. Any
such waiver, deferral or reduction will in no way affect the right to receive any fees payable. Auscap
retains the absolute discretion to rebate, waive, defer or reduce all or any part of any fees
applicable to Units for certain Unitholders and/or pay all or part of such fees to third parties for
services related to the placement of Units.
10. INVESTING IN THE FUND

pursuant to any amendments to the Act and Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) from time to
time.
Applications
Minimum Initial Investment
Applications, which must be for a minimum investment of $250,000, may be made only by written
application using the accompanying Application Form. Auscap has absolute discretion to accept or
reject any application. A confirmation advice of the Unit holding will be issued as soon as
practicable following the determination of the applicable unit price. Auscap may waive the
minimum amount requirement in respect of certain investors.
Minimum Additional Investment
Additional investments, which must be for a minimum investment of $100,000, may be made by
completing an Additional Application Form. Auscap may waive the minimum amount requirement
in respect of certain investors.
Application Acceptances
In respect of each initial and additional investment, an investor must qualify as a Wholesale client,
as defined under the Act. Applications are accepted at the absolute discretion of Auscap. Rejected,
invalid or incomplete applications will be returned to applicants as soon as possible. Interest is not
payable on rejected application monies.
Application Process & Cut-off Times
Applications can be made by completing the attached Application Form, or the Additional
Application Form for subsequent additional investments, and forwarding it to the Administrator.
Applications will generally be processed on the first Business Day of each month ("Subscription
Day"). The Issue Price will be based on the NAV of the Fund at the immediately preceding Valuation
Day (see Unit Pricing below). Cleared funds must be electronically transferred into the Auscap Long
Short Australian Equities Funds Application Account no later than 5pm AEST at least three (3)
Business Days prior to the end of the month or such earlier or later time as Auscap may determine.
The Fund will retain any interest earned on any application monies. Units in the same Class issued
on the same Subscription Day will be in the same Series. Units issued on different Subscription
Days will be issued in different Series.
The relevant Application Form or Additional Application Form must be received by the
Administrator no later than 5pm AEST at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of the month
or such earlier or later time as Auscap may determine. Initial Application Forms and relevant
identification documentation must be sent as originals to the Administrator. The Administrator will
not process any new applications until it has received a properly completed and signed original
Application Form and originals or original certified copies of applicable identification
documentation required under Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing
Legislation.
For Additional Applications, a copy of the completed Additional Application Form must be sent,
faxed or emailed to the Administrator (see Fund Administrator details in the Fund Directory). If
Unitholders choose to send Additional Application Forms by post, facsimile or email, they bear the
risk of such requests not being received. Neither the Administrator nor Auscap accept any
responsibility or liability for any loss caused as a result of non-receipt or ineligibility of any mail,
facsimile notice or email or for any loss caused in respect of any action taken as a consequence of
such instruction believed in good faith to have originated from properly authorised persons.
Auscap Rights
Unitholders may be admitted to the Fund upon such terms and conditions as are permitted by
Auscap, without the consent of any other Unitholders, which terms and conditions may differ from
those applicable to other Unitholders on matters relating to, without limitation, notice periods, fee
waivers, rebates or reductions and information rights. New classes of Units in the Fund may be
established by Auscap without the approval of the existing Unitholders. However, Auscap will
provide existing Unitholders with written notice of any classification or reclassification of their
existing Units in the Fund.
Unit pricing
When money is invested in the Fund, a number of Units are allocated in the Fund. Units in the
initial Series of Units in the Fund are issued at an Issue Price of $1.00 (the Reference Series).
The Issue Price of a Unit issued in a subsequent Series of Units in the Fund is calculated by
reference to:
the NAV of the Fund as apportioned to the Reference Series, including the deduction of any
accrued performance fees;
dividing the result by the number of Units on issue in the Reference Series to determine the
value of each Unit in the Series; and
adding the buy spread per Unit.

The buy/sell spread (being an amount added to/deducted from application/redemption unit prices
to account for transaction costs) will amount to +0.2%/-0.2%. The buy-sell spread will apply to the
Fund for the life of this Information Memorandum to applications received after the
commencement of the Fund.
Distributions
Any Fund income available for distribution, less expenses, will be distributed annually, as soon as
practicable after each 30 June or otherwise as determined by Auscap. Where a Unitholder redeems
its units, Auscap may determine the amount of the Fund net income that is referable to those
redeemed units. Where income is referable to redeemed Units, the redemption proceeds may
comprise capital and income in proportions determined by Auscap pursuant to the Fund
Constitution. Auscap will notify the Unitholder of the composition of the redemption proceeds.
For Unitholders who remain invested at a Distribution Date, Auscap will calculate distributions
referable to each Class and Series. Distributions will be based on the Funds income for that tax
year, after taking into account any income that may have been distributed as redemption proceeds.
Distributions will be automatically reinvested into the Fund. Unitholders may elect to have their
distributions paid to them as cash, or change their existing distribution option, by notifying the
Administrator, in writing, at least thirty (30) Business Days before 30 June. Units issued for
reinvestment of distributions will be issued at the unit price applicable on the Subscription Day
after the distribution entitlement arises. No buy/sell spread is applied in respect of such Units.
Distributions may be made up of both income and capital.
Auscap may in its absolute discretion accept or reject a written direction from a Unitholder and is
not required to give any reasons. Auscap reserves the right to cancel distribution reinvestments.
Unitholders will be notified if this occurs.
Transfer of Units
Transfer requests should be made in writing to the Administrator. Auscap may require transfer
documentation to be completed by the transferor including the completion of an Application Form
and/or other documentation. Units must not be sold or transferred without prior written consent
from Auscap, which may be granted, subject to certain terms and conditions, or withheld in its sole
and absolute discretion. Units sold or transferred without such consent may be compulsorily
redeemed by Auscap. Unitholders should consider the taxation implications of any such transfer of
Units.
Redemptions
Partial Redemption
For a partial redemption request, instructions must specify the amount of Units or the amount to
be withdrawn. If a partial withdrawal request will result in the Unitholder holding less than the
minimum investment amount, Auscap may treat the redemption request as a redemption in
respect of all of the Unitholder's Units. Redemption requests in relation to the Fund may only be
withdrawn with Auscaps consent. Auscap may determine in its discretion a minimum redemption
amount.
Redemptions Processes and Cut Off Times
If a Unitholder redeems Units in the Fund, Auscap will, to the extent necessary, liquidate listed
securities it holds as long and short positions in the Fund. Auscap will use the proceeds of the
redemption in the assets to Fund the Unitholder's request.
Redemption requests must be submitted and received by the Administrator by 5pm AEST at least
one month ahead of the last Business Day of each month ("Redemption Day"). Auscap has the
discretion to allow redemptions at other times and with longer or shorter notice periods. The
redemption price will be the unit price as at the Valuation Day immediately preceding the
Redemption Day. If the original request is received by the Administrator after the deadline for
receipt of requests for any particular Redemption Day, it will be treated as a request for
redemption on the next Redemption Day.
Unitholders will only be able to redeem Units in the Fund if they have correctly completed and
submitted the attached Redemption Request Form, and it must be signed by the Unitholder. The
Redemption Request Form should be sent, faxed or emailed to the Administrator (see
Administrator details in the Fund Directory). In normal circumstances, proceeds from redemptions
will be available within twenty (20) Business Days after the redemption has been processed.
Redemptions will occur by way of electronic funds transfer to the nominated bank account in the
name of the Unitholder from which the application funds derived. Normal bank charges will apply.
If Unitholders choose to send Redemption Request Forms by post, facsimile or email, they bear the
risk of such requests not being received. Neither the Administrator nor Auscap accept any
responsibility or liability for any loss caused as a result of non-receipt or ineligibility of any mail,
facsimile notice or email or for any loss caused in respect of any action taken as a consequence of
such instruction believed in good faith to have originated from properly authorised persons.
Suspension of redemptions
Auscap may suspend the redemption of Units and the payment of redemptions if it believes that it
is in the best interests of Unitholders as a whole. Redemption requests received during a
suspension period will be processed at the next Redemption Day after the end of the suspension.
Valuation
Under International Financial Reporting Standards, investments are valued at fair value. Bid and
offer pricing is considered to be representative of fair value for listed investments. The valuation
policy of the Fund is that listed investments are valued at the last traded price. This may lead to
minor differences in the Fund valuation compared with the valuation performed for International
Financial Reporting Standards at financial year end.
Unitholder Communication
Unitholders in the Fund will receive correspondence as outlined below.
Unitholder Receipt
The Unitholder receipt will set out details of the Unitholder, Subscription Day, unit price, the Unit
Series and number of Units the Unitholder holds in the Fund upon initial or subsequent application.
Monthly Report
A monthly newsletter will be available to all Unitholders discussing the performance of the Fund
with disclosure of returns during the month.
Tax and Distribution Statements
A taxation and distribution statement will be sent to all Unitholders at least annually.
11. TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Investing in the Fund has tax implications, depending upon your particular situation. Auscap
cannot give tax advice and we recommend that you obtain professional advice on the tax
implications of investing. This Information Memorandum provides Australian residents with
general information only, and should not be relied upon by you as it may not relate to your
particular situation and tax laws may have changed since the issue of this Information
Memorandum.
Taxation of Distributions
The Fund is resident in Australia for tax purposes. The Fund should not generally be liable for
income tax, as it will distribute all the income of the Fund to investors each year. Your share of
taxable income of the Fund for each year ended 30 June should be included as assessable income
in your tax return for each such year, even if your distribution is reinvested as additional Units in
the Fund in the next year. Distributions may represent realised gains on disposal of investments as
well as dividend income.
At the end of each year investors will be sent a tax statement that will indicate the composition of
the income distributed. This will include details of assessable income, capital gains, tax credits and
any other relevant tax information to include in your tax return.
The Fund will seek to pass on any benefits of franking credits in respect of distributions including
franked dividends from the Fund. Investors receiving distributions including franked dividends will
be required to include their share of dividend income and franking credits in their assessable
income. However, investors may be denied franking credits in respect of distributions on Units
which the investor has not owned at risk generally for a continuous period of forty five (45) days
(ignoring the days of acquisition and disposal).
Your assessable income for each year includes net capital gains (capital gains less offsetting capital
losses). Any capital gains distributed by the Fund may benefit from the discount available for
shares held on capital account for 12 months or more. This discount is currently 50% for
individuals, and 33.3% for complying superannuation funds. The discount is not available to
companies.
Taxation of Disposal of Units

If you dispose of your Units in the Fund (by way of redemption or otherwise) you may be subject
to tax on any gain arising. A discount may be available on the capital gain on Units held for 12
months or more by individuals, trusts or complying superannuation funds.
Foreign Tax Credits

Australian residents are required to include in their assessable income their share of any foreign
taxes paid by the Fund. Investors will normally be entitled to a tax credit for foreign taxes paid by
the Fund.
Tax File Number

It is not compulsory for investors to provide their Tax File Number (TFN) or Australian Business
Number (ABN) if investing on behalf of an enterprise. However, if you do not provide a TFN or
ABN then the Trustee is required to deduct tax from any income distribution payable to you at the
maximum personal tax rate plus Medicare levy and any other applicable government charges.
Australian Goods and Services Tax

GST should not be payable on the issue and redemption of Units in the Fund and the resulting
income distributions to investors.
Non-Resident Taxation
Statutory deductions of Australian withholding tax and income tax will be made from distributions
of Australian sourced taxable income for non-resident investors. The exact amount cannot be
determined as the rate of withholding tax depends on the type of income.
Non-residents will only be subject to capital gains tax in Australia on the disposal of Units where
either:
they have an interest of 10% or more and the Fund has more than 50% attributable to
(either direct or indirect) Australian real property; or
the Units are used in carrying on business through an Australian permanent establishment.
Non-residents seeking to invest in the Fund should obtain tax advice in relation to their specific
circumstances.
FATCA
Under the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), certain foreign financial
institutions (FFIs) are required to comply with requirements discussed below in order to avoid
imposition of a 30% United States withholding tax on payments of US income or gross proceeds
from the sale of particular US securities, commencing in 2014. Based on the guidance available to
date, it appears that the Fund may be an FFI. In the future the Fund may have to obtain and
disclose information about certain US and US-owned investors to the US tax authorities and the
Fund may also request that you provide certain information about yourself in order for the Fund
to comply with its obligations. To the extent that all requested information is obtained, this
withholding tax should not apply to the Fund or its investors. Although the Fund may attempt to
take steps to avoid the imposition of this withholding tax, no assurance can be given that the Fund
will be successful.
12. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Constitution of the Fund
The Fund is governed by a constitution which binds the Trustee and the Unitholders of the Fund
("Constitution"). The Constitution sets out the conditions under which the Trustee operates
and the rights, responsibilities and duties of the Trustee in respect of the Fund. In particular,
the right of the Trustee to retire and the ability of the Trustee to charge fees and recover
expenses are included in the Constitution.
The Trustee may alter the Constitution in certain circumstances if the Trustee reasonably
considers that the change will not adversely affect Unitholders rights. Otherwise, the Trustee
must obtain Unitholders written consent, or approval by special resolution at a meeting
convened for that purpose. The Fund may be terminated in certain circumstances stated in its
Constitution.
The Constitution contains provisions limiting the requirement of the Trustee to compensate
Unitholders. Generally, if the Trustee complies with its duties, it will not be required to
compensate a Unitholder for the loss unless required by law. The Constitution also contains
provisions regarding the Trustees liabilities and rights for reimbursement out of the Fund.
Unitholders Rights
The rights of a Unitholder in the Fund are outlined in the Constitution. Subject to the other
terms of the Constitution and this Information Memorandum, these include the right to:
withdraw Units;
receive income and capital distributions;
participate in distributions upon termination or winding up of the Fund; and
call, attend and vote at Unitholder meetings.

Each Unit a Unitholder holds in the Fund gives that Unitholder a beneficial interest in the Fund
as a whole, but not in any particular asset of the Fund. Holding Units in the Fund does not give
a Unitholder the right to participate in the management or operation of the Fund.
Classes of Units
The Trustee may issue different classes of Units and may determine the rights, obligations and
restrictions which will attach to the Units within each Class.
Transfer of Units
Please contact Auscap if you would like to transfer Units. Auscap may refuse to register any
transfer of Units by a Unitholder without providing any reason.
Register of Unitholders
The register of Unitholders is maintained by the Administrator or their affiliates.
Period and Termination of the Fund
The Trustee may terminate the Fund in a number of circumstances provided for in the
Constitution including on written notice to Unitholders.
Trustees Indemnity and Liability
The Trustee is entitled to be continually indemnified against all expenses, losses and liabilities
that are incurred as a direct or indirect result of anything done or not done under the Fund
Constitution.
Amending the Constitution

The Trustee may amend or replace the Constitution in accordance with the Constitution.
Limitation of Unitholders Liability
The Fund Constitution provides that a Unitholders liability to the Trustee is limited to their
investment in the Fund. However, investors should note that the courts have not finally
determined the extent of liability of Unitholders in unit trusts.
Further Information
Please contact Auscap if you would like a copy of the Constitution.
Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws

The Anti Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth) (AML Law)
regulates financial services and transactions in a way that is designed to detect and prevent
money laundering and terrorism financing. The AML Law is administered by the Australian
Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC).
Under the AML Law, the Trustee is required to:
verify a Unitholders identity before providing services and to re-identify a Unitholder if

they consider it necessary to do so; and
keep a record of any documentation Unitholders supply relating to the verification of

their identity for 7 years.
The Trustee has implemented a number of measures and controls to ensure it complies with its
obligations under the AML Law, including carefully identifying and monitoring Unitholders. As a
result of the implementation of these measures and controls:
transactions may be delayed, blocked, frozen or refused where Auscap has reasonable
grounds to believe that the transaction breaches the law or sanctions of Australia or any
other country. Applications cannot be processed unless all the necessary information is
provided;
where transactions are delayed, blocked, frozen or refused, Auscap is not liable for any
loss Unitholders suffer (including consequential loss) as a result of its compliance with
the AML Law as it applies to Auscap; and
Auscap may at times require additional information from you to assist it in this process.
Auscap has certain reporting obligations under the AML Law and is prevented from informing
Unitholders that any such reporting has taken place. Where required by law, Auscap and/or the
Administrator may disclose the information gathered to regulatory or law enforcement
agencies, including AUSTRAC.
Conflicts of Interest
The Trustee has established internal policies and procedures to ensure that any conflicts of
interest arising in relation to the Fund are adequately identified and appropriately managed.
Where the Trustee considers that a particular conflict of interest is likely to have a materially
adverse effect on Unitholders, it will seek to implement adequate arrangements to mitigate,
prevent and/or minimise (where practicable) adverse effects on Unitholders.
Privacy Policy
Privacy laws apply to the handling of personal information by the Trustee. The Trustee may
collect personal information about a Unitholder from their Application Form to establish and
support the ongoing administration of their investment in the Fund, comply with Australian
taxation laws, the Act, AML Law and other laws and regulations. It will also be used to advise
Unitholders of new developments relevant to their investment in the Fund. For legal and
practical reasons, the Trustee will not be able to process an application or administer an
investment without certain prescribed information.
The Trustee may disclose a Unitholders personal information to external parties who provide
services to the Trustee in relation to the Fund. For example, this may include the Administrator
or its associates, related group entities or related bodies corporate, to the extent that any of
these are involved with the Fund, or other parties such as providers of printing or postal
services. Otherwise the Trustee will not disclose your personal information to any other
external party unless required by law.
Any personal information you provide to the Administrator will be collected and handled in
accordance with White Outsourcing's privacy policy, a copy of which can be found at
www.whiteoutsourcing.com.au or posted / emailed to you if you contact White Outsourcing on
+612 8262 2800 or registry@whiteoutsourcing.com.au. By submitting paperwork relating to
your investment you consent to your personal information being collected and handled by the
unit registry in accordance with that policy.
You may be entitled to gain access to your personal information held by the Trustee.
Unitholders have the right to ask the Trustee to correct information about them which is
inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.
Unitholders who would like access to their personal information or who have questions should
contact Auscap at the contact details specified in the Fund Directory.
Authorised Representatives
Appointment of authorised representative to operate account
You may elect to appoint an authorised representative to operate your account. The relevant
sections on the Application Form need to be completed, including the name and signature of
the authorised representative, the signature of the Unitholder and the date. Only Unitholders
can appoint authorised representatives.
By completing and lodging the relevant sections on authorised representatives on the
Application Form you release, discharge and agree to indemnify the Trustee from and against
any and all losses, liabilities, actions, proceedings, account claims and demands arising from the
Trustee acting on the instructions of your authorised representative.
You also agree that any instructions of your authorised representative to the Trustee, which are
followed by the Trustee, shall be a complete satisfaction of the obligations of the Trustee,
notwithstanding any fact or circumstance, including that the instructions were made without
your knowledge or authority. You agree that if an authorised representatives instructions are
followed by the Trustee, you and any person claiming through or under you shall have no claim
against the Trustee in relation to the instructions.
Powers of an authorised representative
An authorised representative can, among other things:
apply for additional Units;
withdraw all or part of your investment; and

enquire as to the status of your investment and obtain copies of any statements to which
they are entitled.
Withdrawal payments will not be made to third parties. If a company is appointed as an

authorised representative, the powers will extend to any director and authorised officer of the
company. If a partnership is appointed as an authorised representative, the powers will extend
to all partners.
Complaints
If you have any queries or complaints, please contact Auscap or the Administrator in writing.
Please refer to the contact details on page 6 of the Fund Directory. We will acknowledge your
query or complaint in writing within ten (10) Business Days. We will then give proper
consideration to the complaint and advise you of the outcome as soon as possible.
Service Providers
Administration
The Trustee has delegated some administrative functions by appointing White Outsourcing Pty
Ltd (Whites) to provide fund administration and unit registry services. Whites is a specialist
provider of outsourced middle and back office administration and accounting services to over
50 clients with around $20 billion of funds under administration. White Outsourcing will
provide administrative services including:
Fund accounting services including trade confirmation and reconciliation;
regulatory and administrative services;
compliance, performance and analytical services; and
unit pricing and registry services.
As administrator, Whites is contactable for all application and redemption forms. Their contact
details are listed in the Fund Directory.
Audit & Tax
The Trustee has appointed Ernst & Young to provide tax and audit services for the Fund. These
services include:
annual audit of financial statements;
review of income tax return; and
review of net income calculations for distributions.
These services will be provided after the end of each Financial Year.
Custody and Prime Brokerage
The Trustee has appointed Citigroup Global Markets Limited (CGML) as a prime broker under
the terms of a Customer Agreement for Australian Prime Brokerage Services (the PB
Agreement) and Citigroup Global Markets Australia Pty Ltd (CGMA) as a cash lender under
the terms of a Customer Agreement for Australian Cash Loans (the Cash Loan Agreement),
each of CGML and CGMA are wholly owned indirect subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc. The services
which CGML will provide under the PB Agreement include various custodial services, securities
lending and the clearance and settlement of securities transactions. The services which CGMA
will provide under the Cash Loan Agreement include cash financing in connection with
transactions under the PB Agreement. CGML and CGMA, in their capacities as prime broker and
cash lender, as applicable, will have no decision-making discretion relating to the investment of
the assets of the Fund and will not provide any investment advice in relation to the assets of
the Fund.
Under the terms of the PB Agreement, subject to CGMLs right to utilise the same described
below, CGML will identify, record on its books and hold on a segregated basis all investments
(and collect any dividends and other payments in respect thereto) and other assets of the Fund
excluding cash (collectively, the Assets) in such manner that the identity and location of the
Assets can be readily identified at any time as the property of a customer of CGML and
separate from CGML's own property. Accordingly, such Assets which have not been utilised as
described below should be unavailable to the creditors of CGML. Certain Assets may be comingled with similar assets of other customers of CGML. Accordingly, the Fund may not have
the right to the return of specific assets but to their equivalent.
CGML may hold Assets with a sub-custodian, depository or clearing agent (each, a "subcustodian") in one or more accounts identified as belonging to customers of CGML. CGML will
identify on its books and records all Assets held by a sub-custodian as being held for the Fund.
CGML has undertaken to exercise reasonable care, skill and diligence in the selection of any
sub-custodian. CGML will make appropriate inquiries periodically to satisfy itself as to the
ongoing suitability of such sub-custodian to provide custodial services to the Fund.
The Fund has authorised CGML at any time, without prior notice to the Fund, to transfer Assets
(as defined above) to the Funds separate custody account with Citibank N.A., Hong Kong
Branch (the Prime Custody Account). Securities that are transferred by CGML from the prime
brokerage Custody Account under the PB Agreement to the Prime Custody Account shall be
released from the security created by the Cash Loan Agreement upon such transfer and
accordingly shall cease to be Secured Property (as defined below). The Fund has authorised
Citibank N.A., Hong Kong Branch, as custodian of the Prime Custody Account, to accept
requests from CGML to re-transfer Assets and assets of the Fund comprising cash from the
Prime Custody Account to the prime brokerage Custody Account or Cash Account, as
appropriate, in order to meet the Funds obligations or as otherwise permitted under the PB
Agreement and Assets so re-transferred shall again become subject to the security interest
created by the Cash Loan Agreement upon such transfer and accordingly shall become Secured
Property.
The Fund acknowledges that cash received by CGML for credit to the prime brokerage Cash
Account either from the Fund or on the Funds behalf will be collateral for the purpose of
securing or otherwise covering the secured liabilities under the Cash Loan Agreement and full
ownership in such cash will be absolutely transferred to CGML, and all right, title and interest in
and to such cash will pass to CGML outright and absolutely for the purposes of covering those
secured liabilities. Upon such transfer CGML will become obliged, subject to and in accordance
with the provisions of the PB Agreement to re-transfer to the Fund an equivalent amount of
cash. CGMLs obligation will be reduced to the extent that such cash is applied in accordance
with the security and/or close-out arrangements provided in the PB Agreement and Cash Loan
Agreement.
The Fund's obligations to CGMA under and in connection with the Cash Loan Agreement will be
secured by a first fixed charge over the Customers right, title and interest in connection with
the Cash Account and the Custody Account and over certain other assets (together the
Secured Property). CGML will be entitled to sell, loan or otherwise use any and all Secured
Property in the form of securities (securities so used being referred to herein as Utilised
Securities) and selected by CGML in its absolute discretion [provided the value of the Utilised
Securities shall not exceed 140 per cent of the Funds liabilities and obligations under the PB
Agreement and Cash Loan Agreement from time to time] for its own purposes or the purposes
of any third party, and the Fund will have a contractual right against CGML for the return of
assets equivalent to the Utilised Securities. Utilised Securities may not, therefore, be
recoverable in full in the event of CGMLs insolvency.
The PB Agreement and Cash Loan Agreement provide that CGML and CGMA will not be liable
for any loss, liability or cost incurred by the Fund as a result of any act or omission of CGML or
CGMA unless such loss, liability or cost is caused by CGMLs or CGMAs, as applicable, own
fraud, gross negligence, or wilful default. Neither CGML nor CGMA shall be responsible for the
loss, liability or cost which the Fund may suffer or incur arising from the negligence, wilful
default or fraud of any third party (including any executing broker, bank, agent, custodian,
investment exchange, depositary or clearing house, but subject to the obligations concerning
the selection of such sub-custodian described above). Neither CGML, CGMA nor any third party
which acts on their behalf, whether an affiliate of CGML or CGMA or not, nor its directors,
officers, servants, agents or representatives, will be liable to the Fund, except in the case of
fraud, for any consequential loss, liability or cost which the Fund may suffer or incur arising out
of their acts or omissions, howsoever the loss, liability or cost is caused and regardless of
whether it was foreseeable or not.
The Fund has agreed to indemnify CGML, CGMA and any sub-custodian, nominee or agent
appointed by it against any loss, liability and expenses (including without limitation the costs of
any investigation or legal proceedings) arising out of or in connection with the PB Agreement or
Cash Loan Agreement except where arising primarily out of its or, as the case may be, such subcustodians', nominees' or agents' own gross negligence or willful default, all as more fully
detailed in the PB Agreement and Cash Loan Agreement. The PB Agreement and Cash Loan
Agreement will remain in full force and effect until terminated at any time by either of the
parties upon 3 Business Days written notice to the other. CGML and CGMA are paid service
providers to the Fund and are not responsible for the preparation of this document or the
activities of the Fund and therefore accept no responsibility for any information in this
document. The Fund reserves the right to change the prime brokerage, cash loan and custodial
arrangements described above by agreement with CGML and CGMA and/or, in its discretion, to
appoint additional or alternative prime broker(s), cash lender(s) and custodian(s). The Fund
may also utilise Citi and/or other brokers and dealers for the purposes of executing transactions
for the Fund.
