Distribution of income
The model income setting for the models described in this document is to accumulate income.

This means income from investments held in your managed account accumulates in the form of cash and, as a result, the allocation to cash in the model is increased. The income remains as cash until the Model Manager alters the allocation to investments held in the model.

If you set your income instruction in your managed account to reinvest in the Managed Account, then the amount of cash remaining in your managed account following receipt of income in relation to the assets in your managed account is consistent with the increased cash allocation in the model and no rebalance transactions are likely to occur as a result of the income distribution until the Model Manager determines how to use the additional cash.

If you set your income instruction in your managed account to pay to your platform account cash account, you are instructing us as platform operator to make a partial redemption from your managed account. As a result, following receipt of income in relation to the assets in your managed account, there will be less cash in your managed account than the cash allocation in the model. Your managed account is rebalanced and investments are sold across all the models you hold to satisfy the increased cash allocation.

Our estimates of the cash fee, international securities fee (if applicable), indirect costs (if applicable) and transaction costs that apply for the current financial year are set out in the Managed Models Menu.

The strategy is to invest in a diversified portfolio of managed funds across a range of asset classes. The model uses a strategic asset allocation (‘SAA’) that provides long term exposures to each asset class through a passive underlying investment strategy. Over the economic cycle, the asset allocation is expected, on average, to be approximately 70% to defensive assets and 30% to growth assets. The SAA is generally reviewed yearly which involves generating expected returns, correlations and risk for each asset class. Reviews may result in changes to the strategic asset allocation. The model is typically re-weighted back to the SAA every six months.
