Expertise

The managed portfolios in this PDS are managed by various
investment managers we have engaged to design, monitor, and
make changes to their respective series of managed portfolios
in line with the stated investment objectives.

Choice

You can select from the range of managed portfolios based on
what you determine to be your financial goals and tolerance to
risk.
MyNorth Managed Portfolios allows you to choose a managed
portfolio with underlying assets of managed funds, Australian
equities, listed products and cash.
You can choose from a wide range of investment managers
across diversified and single sector portfolios based on your
individual investment objectives and needs.
Refer to the managed portfolio menu in Part 2 of this PDS.
When you invest in equities and listed products through a
managed portfolio, these assets are held to be directly referable
to you and as such you have more direct access to franking credits and capital losses than you would through managed funds.

Further, you do not inherit ‘embedded’ capital gains (as can be
the case with pooled investment vehicles such as managed
funds) and your gain or loss position in relation to the equities
and listed products held in your Portfolio is not impacted by the
actions of other investors as your shares are bought specifically
for you when you invest your money.

You also have the ability to offset realised capital losses against
realised capital gains from assets that you hold outside of the
Scheme.

Flexibility to switch, withdraw and transfer

You can switch between your chosen managed portfolios or
invest in a new managed portfolio at any time. You can also
transfer certain equities and other investments into and out of
your managed portfoliowithouttriggering a change in beneficial
ownership and unnecessary realisation of capital gains
(see Transferring assets in and out of your Portfolio on page 11
for further information).

Suitable for investors who seek to return of CPI +2% per annum over the long term by investing in a diverse mix of asset
classes.
