MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED 
ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER LETTER 

Dear Shareholder, 

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS 

Magellan Financial Group Limited (‘Magellan’ or ‘Group’ or ‘MFG’) recorded a full year net profit 
after tax of $5.8 million for the year ended 30 June 2011 ($3.8 million for 2009/10). 

The Group’s reported result includes: 

• 

revenues,  excluding  realised  and  unrealised  investment  gains  and  foreign  exchange 
gains/losses, of $18.0 million compared with revenues of $12.3 million for the previous 
corresponding period; and 

• 

total  operating  expenses  of  $10.2  million,  compared  with  total  operating  expenses  of 
$7.2 million for the previous corresponding period. 

Magellan  is  in  a  strong  financial  position  with  an  extremely  strong  balance  sheet.  As  at  30 
June 2011: 

• 

the Group had cash, fixed term deposits, and fixed and variable rate debt investments 
of  approximately  $29.3  million,  investment  assets  (excluding  the  cash  and  fixed  and 
variable rate debt investments) of approximately $80.1 million and shareholders funds 
of $125.8 million; and 

• 

the  Group’s  NTA  per  share  (diluted  assuming  conversion  of  the  Class  B  shares)  was 
approximately $0.78 (2010:$0.71). 

Revenues  for  2011  and  future  years  will  depend  upon  the  Group’s  average  level  of  funds 
under management, the investment performance of the individual funds, as well as interest, 
dividend  and  fee  income.  Reported  revenues  will  also  include  the  effect  of  mark-to-market 
accounting on the Group’s trading portfolio and any realised gains or losses on investments. 

MAGELLAN’S FUNDS MANAGEMENT BUSINESS 

For  the  year  ended  30  June  2011,  the  funds  management  business  generated  revenues  of 
approximately  $15.4  million  (2010:  $9.0  million)  and  had  expenses  of  approximately  $9.8 
million (2010:  $6.7  million), which  resulted  in a  profit  before  tax  of $5.6  million  (2010: $2.3 
million).  

We believe that over time Magellan is likely to generate attractive returns from our investment 
in  the  funds  management  business.  This  business  should  be  scalable  over  time,  and 
Magellan’s  funds  under  management  should  continue  to  grow  without  the  need  to  make 
material additional capital investment into the business. 

Over  the  past  12  months  we  have  added  additional  high  quality  employees,  particularly 
specialists  in  relationship  management,  distribution,  operations  and  analysts  for  the  funds 
management  business.  In  2009/10,  we  opened  offices  in  Brisbane and  Melbourne  to  service 
our growing relationships with financial planners around the country. We are pleased with the 

1 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED 
ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER LETTER 

initial  progress  and  believe  that  developing  and  maintaining  strong  and  trusted  relationships 
with financial planners is an important factor in Magellan’s future.  

Magellan  is  also  developing  its  capabilities  for  domestic  and  offshore  institutional  client 
opportunities.  The  Group  is  hiring  additional  people,  investing  in  new  IT  systems  and 
establishing  offshore  investment  vehicles  for  both  the  global  equities  and  infrastructure 
strategies. Whilst these expenses will be incurred in 2011/12 and beyond we do not expect an 
early  payback  from  these  investments.  Our  objective  is  that  these  investments  position  the 
Group to further grow the funds management business over the longer term. 

As at 17 August 2011, the Group had funds under management of approximately $2.72 billion, 
split  between  global  equities  and  infrastructure  equities.  This  compares  with  funds  under 
management of $393 million at 30 June 2009, $1.1 billion at 30 June 2010 and $2.76 billion as 
at  30  June  2011.  The  directors  are  confident  that  Magellan  continues  to  be  well  placed  to 
attract funds under management: 

• 

the  Magellan  Global  Fund  has  continued  to  build  its  reputation  with  research  houses 
and  major  financial  planning  groups,  with  solid  investment  outperformance  in  these 
difficult markets (31.2% above the market benchmarks for the first 4 years to 30 June 
2011). As at 17 August 2011 the Magellan Global Fund / Colonial First State Magellan 
Global Option had funds under management of approximately $667 million, compared 
with $71 million at 30 June 2009, $261 million at 30 June 2010 and $650 million at 30 
June 2011. 

•  our  infrastructure  team  had  a  strong  investment  performance  in  2010/11  and  also 
increased fund under management. This team has momentum and continues to have 
promising  discussions  with  a  number  of  additional 
institutional  clients.  The 
infrastructure team had funds under management of approximately $1.67 billion as at 
17 August 2011, compared with $89 million at 30 June 2009, $471 million at 30 June 
2010 and $1.71 billion at 30 June 2011.  

It  is  still  very  early  days  in  the  life  of  our  business  and  there  are  no  grounds  for  any 
complacency  or  lack  of  focus.  We  will  only  succeed  for  the  long-term  through  rigorous 
analytical  processes  and  a  disciplined  focus  upon  managing  risks  as  well  as  returns  for  the 
investment  funds  entrusted  to  us,  whilst  maintaining  positive  relationships  with  financial 
planners and investors in our funds. 

The  Directors  have  proposed  a  final  fully  franked  dividend  of  1.5  cents  per  ordinary  share  in 
respect of the 2011 financial year, which represents $2.28 million. In accordance with accounting 
standards, the dividend has not been provided for in the 30 June 2011 financial statements. 

INVESTMENTS IN MAGELLAN’S FUNDS AND PRINCIPAL INVESTMENTS 

As  at  30  June  2011,  Magellan’s  investment  assets  comprised  $70.8  million  invested  in  the 
three  funds  we  manage  and  an  investment  portfolio  of  $9.3  million  (which  excludes  cash, 
fixed term deposits, and fixed and floating rate debt investments of $29.3 million). Over time 
we  hope  to  earn  satisfactory  returns  for  shareholders  via  the  sensible  deployment  of  the 
Group’s  capital,  whilst  maintaining  capital  strength  to  underpin  the  business.  We  intend  for 
Magellan to maintain a very strong balance sheet including a high level of liquidity to ensure 
our business will withstand almost any market condition or unforseen event. This conservative 

2 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED 
ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER LETTER 

balance  sheet  approach  has  benefited  the  Group,  particularly  during  the  early  stages  of  the 
funds  management  business  in  the  extreme  markets  of  the  last  four  years  and  will  benefit 
Magellan in the future. 

We consider the Group’s investments in our funds as “look through” investments in the 
underlying companies which comprise the portfolios. The following table aggregates these 
“look through” investments with the Group’s direct portfolio investments to show the ten 
largest aggregated “look through” equity investments as at 30 June 2011.

We are delighted with the quality of the investments in our funds and believe that Magellan 
has  acquired  interests  in  high  quality  companies  at  attractive  prices.  The  benefit  of  the 
excellent underlying business performances was offset in 2010/11 by the ongoing rise in the 
Australian dollar. 

Many  of  these  businesses  have  extraordinary  and  sustainable  competitive  advantages.  They 
generate strong cash flows and returns well above their cost of capital. They have attractive 
growth  profiles  with  market  leading  positions  in  emerging  markets,  as  well  as  leadership  in 
most  developed  markets.  We  believe  that,  in  aggregate,  these  companies  continued  to 
strengthen their competitive advantages and again gained market share in 2010/11. 

Although  economic  growth  and  overall  business  profitability  is  likely  to  remain  subdued  in 
many  parts  of  the  world,  we  expect  these  companies  to  continue  to  demonstrate  business 
resilience. 
FINANCIAL 
Thank you for your ongoing interest in Magellan and we look forward to meeting you either at 
the Annual General Meeting or over the years ahead. 

Yours faithfully, 

Chris Mackay

variable remuneration that takes into account the individual’s experience, abilities, achievements, 
and contribution to the Group.  

Other  Key  Management  Personnel  and  Other  Executives’  fixed  compensation  is  structured  as  a 
total  employment  cost  package,  which  may  be  received  as  a  combination  of  cash,  non-cash 
benefits  and  superannuation  contributions.    Fixed  compensation  is  reviewed  annually  to  ensure 
that  it  is  competitive  and  reasonable,  however  there  are  no  guaranteed  increases  to  the  fixed 
compensation amount. The amount of fixed compensation is not dependant on the satisfaction of 
a  performance  condition,  or  the  performance  of  the  Group,  the  Company’s  share  price,  or 
dividends paid by the Company. 

The  Board  determines  the  total  amount  of  variable  compensation  to  be  paid  to  the  Group’s 
employees  including  Other  Key  Management  Personnel  and  Other  Executives  with  regard  to  the 
profitability  of  the  Group’s  funds  management  business,  and  the  Group’s  overall  profitability  and 
capacity to pay dividends to shareholders. 

The  Board  considers  that  a  focus  on  short  term  indicators  for  the  determination  of  short  term 
variable  compensation,  such  as  movements  in  the  Company’s  share  price,  may  encourage 
performance that is not in the best interests of the Group and its shareholders. The Board is more 
concerned  that  Other  Key  Management  Personnel  and  Other  Executives  are  motivated  to  build 
investment  returns  for  investors  in  the  funds  managed  by  the  Group  and  to  build  shareholder 
wealth over the long term.  The Board believes that the participation in the Group’s SPP by Other 
Key Management Personnel and Other Executives closely aligns their interests with the long term 
interests of shareholders. 

The Executive Directors determine the amount of variable compensation to be paid to Other Key 
Management  Personnel  and  Other  Executives,  taking  into  consideration  each  individual’s 
performance  and  contribution  during  the  year.  The  variable  component  of  the  Other  Key 
Management Personnel and the Other Executive remuneration is not dependent on the satisfaction 
of performance conditions, the Company’s share price, or dividends paid by the Company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011 

1. 

Corporate Information 

The  financial  report  of  Magellan  Financial  Group  Limited  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2011  was 
authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 22 August 2011. 

Magellan  Financial  Group  Limited  (the  “Company”)  is  a  company  limited  by  shares  and 
incorporated  in  Australia.    The  shares  of  the  Company  are  publicly  traded  on  the  Australian 
Securities Exchange (ASX). 

The nature of the operations and the principal activities of the Company and its controlled entities 
(the “Group”) are described in the Directors’ Report.   

2. 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance 
with  the  requirements  of  the Corporations Act 2001, Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  other 
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.  

(a) Basis of Preparation 
The  principal  accounting  policies  adopted  in  the  preparation  of  the  financial  report  are  set  out 
below.  These  policies  have  been  consistently  applied  to  all  periods  presented,  unless  otherwise 
stated. 

These  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention,  except  for 
financial assets and certain financial liabilities, which have been measured at fair value. 

The  financial  report  is  presented  in  Australian  dollars  and  all  values  are  rounded  to  the  nearest 
thousand dollars ($000) unless otherwise stated.   

(b) Compliance with IFRS 
The  financial  report  complies  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  (AASB)  and  International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with AASB and IFRS requires the use of 
critical accounting estimates and judgements. The following balances rely on such judgements: 

•  balances relating to the Share Purchase Plan. Details are provided in note 2 (p) and note 

11; 
investment in other unlisted funds. Details are provided in note 10 c) i).

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(c) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations 

The accounting policies applied by the Group in this financial report are the same as those applied 
by the Group for the year ended 30 June 2010. 

New Standards Not Yet Adopted 

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended, 
but are not yet effective, have not been adopted by the Group in the preparation of this financial 
report.  The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been 
identified as those which may impact the Group in the period of initial application: 

i)  AASB 9: Financial Instruments is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or 

after 1 January 2013. The IASB recently issued an exposure draft proposing that the date 
for mandatory adoption be delayed until periods commencing on or after 1 January 2015. 
The amendments require financial assets to be measured at fair value through profit or 
loss, unless:  

- the criteria for amortised cost measurement are met, or  
- the Group qualifies and elects to recognise gains and losses on equity securities that are   

not held-for-trading directly in other comprehensive income. 

Where the Group elects to recognise gains and losses on qualifying securities directly in 
other comprehensive income there will be no requirement to recognise either impairment 
losses or cumulative changes in fair value on de-recognition of the assets in profit or loss. 

ii)  Amendments to AASB 2010-4: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards 
arising from the Annual Improvements Project (effective for annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2011). 

In June 2010, the AASB made a number of amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards as a result of the IASB's annual improvements project. The Group does not 
expect that any adjustments will be necessary as the result of applying the revised rules. 

iii)  Revised AASB 124: Related Party Disclosures 

AASB 124 is applicable to annual reporting years beginning on or after 1 January 2011. It 
requires disclosure of additional information relating to individual key management 
personnel. Application of this standard will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the 
financial statements. 

iv)  IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements 

IFRS 10 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The 
Group has not yet evaluated the effect on the Group’s financial statements. 

v)  IFRS 13: Fair Value Measurement 

IFRS 13 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The 
Group has not yet evaluated the effect on the Group’s financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(d) Basis of Consolidation 
The financial report of the Group comprises the consolidated financial reports of the Company and 
its controlled entities.  Controlled entities included within the consolidated financial report are: 

Magellan Asset Management Limited 
Magellan Capital Partners Pty Limited 

             % Ownership 

30 June
2011
100.0 
100.0 

30 June
2010
100.0 
100.0 

All  inter-entity  balances  and  transactions  between  entities  in  the  consolidated  group,  including 
unrealised  profits  or  losses,  have  been  eliminated  on  consolidation.  Policies  of  the  controlled 
entities have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those policies adopted by 
the Company. 

(e) Business Combinations 
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of 
whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the 
assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Where listed 
equity  instruments  are  issued  in  a  business  combination,  the  fair  value  of  the  instruments  is  the 
published  closing  market  bid  price  as  at  the  date  of  the  exchange.  Where  unlisted  equity 
instruments  are  issued  in  a  business  combination,  the  fair  value  of  the  instruments  will  be 
determined by the Directors using an appropriate valuation methodology. Acquisition costs arising 
on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity. 

Except for non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale (which are measured at 
fair value less costs to sell), all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities 
assumed  in  a  business  combination  are  measured  initially  at  their  fair  values  at  the  acquisition 
date.  The  excess  of  the  cost  of  the  business  combination  over  the  net  fair  value  of  the  Group’s 
share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of the acquisition 
is less than the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable net assets of the controlled 
entity, the difference is recognised as a gain in profit or loss, but only after a reassessment of the 
identification and measurement of the net assets acquired. 

Where settlement of any part of the consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future 
are  discounted  to  their  present  value  as  at  the  date  of  exchange.  The  discount  rate  used  is  the 
Company’s  incremental  borrowing  rate,  being  the  rate  at  which  a  similar  borrowing  could  be 
obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. 

(f) Operating Segment Reporting 
An  operating  segment  is  a  distinguishable  component  of  the  Group  that  is  engaged  in  business 
activities from which the Group earns revenues and incurs expenses, whose operating results are 
regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker in order to make decisions about 
the  allocation  of  resources  to  the  segment  and  assess  its  performance,  and  for  which  discrete 
financial information is available.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

 (g) Foreign Currency Translation 

Functional and Presentation Currency  
The functional and presentation currency of the Company and its controlled entities as determined 
in accordance with AASB 121: The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates is the Australian 
dollar.  

Transactions and Balances 
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Australian dollars at the foreign 
currency  exchange  rate  ruling  at  the  date  of  the  transaction.  Monetary  assets  and  liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Australian dollars at the London 4pm exchange 
rates  at  balance  date.  The  fair  values  of  financial  assets  are  determined  using  the  London  4pm 
exchange rates at balance date.  

Foreign  currency  exchange  differences  relating  to  financial  assets  are  included  in  changes  in  fair 
value disclosed in net operating profit or other comprehensive income. All other foreign currency 
exchange differences are presented separately in profit or loss. 

(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents 
Cash  comprises  current  accounts  with  banks.  Cash  equivalents  are  short-term  highly  liquid 
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant 
risk  of  changes  in  value,  and  are  held  for  the  purpose  of  meeting  short-term  cash  commitments 
rather  than  for  investment  or  other  purposes.  Fixed  term  deposits  with  a  maturity  less  than  90 
days from inception are classified as cash equivalents. 

(i) Trade and Other Receivables  
Receivables are recognised as and when they are due.  They are initially recognised at fair value 
and  are  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method,  less  any 
allowance for uncollectible amounts. 

Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for doubtful debts is raised 
when  there  is  evidence  the  amount  will  not  be  collected.  An  impairment  provision  is  recognised 
when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the receivable. 

Financial  difficulties  of  the  debtor,  default  payments  or  debts  more  than  60  days  overdue  are 
considered objective evidence of impairment. The amount of the impairment loss is the receivable 
carrying amount compared to the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the 
original effective interest rate.  

(j) Derivative Financial Instruments 
The Group may enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to 
interest  rate  and  foreign  exchange  rate  risk,  including  forward  foreign  exchange  contracts  and 
interest rate swaps.  

Derivatives  are  categorised  as  held-for-trading  financial  assets  and  are  initially  recognised  at  fair 
value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their 
fair value at each reporting date.

(j) Derivative Financial Instruments (continued) 
The  resulting  gain  or  loss  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  immediately  unless  the  derivative  is 
designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event, the timing of the recognition in 
profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. 

Derivatives  are recognised as assets when  their fair value  is positive and as liabilities when their 
fair value is negative. 

The Group has not entered into any transactions that qualify as cash flow or fair value hedges. 

(k) Financial Assets 
Financial  assets  in  the  scope  of  AASB139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement 
are categorised as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-
for-trading,  held-to-maturity  investments,  or  available-for-sale  financial  assets.  The  classification 
depends on the purpose for which investments were acquired. Designation is re-evaluated at each 
financial year end, but there are restrictions on reclassifying to other categories. 

Financial  assets  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value,  plus  in  the  case  of  assets  not  at  fair  value 
through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. 

Recognition and De-recognition 
All  regular  way  purchases  and  sales  of  financial  assets  are  recognised  on  the  trade  date,  ie  the 
date  that  the  Group  commits  to  purchase  or  sell  the  asset.  Regular  way  purchases  or  sales  are 
purchases  or  sales  of  financial  assets  under  contracts  that  require  delivery  of  the  assets  or 
settlement within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the market place. 
Financial  assets  are  derecognised  when  the  right  to  receive  cash  flows  from  the  financial  assets 
have expired or been transferred. 

Held-for-Trading Financial Assets 
Short-term  trading  securities  are  classified  as  held-for-trading  financial  assets  and  are  carried  at 
fair value.  Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.   

Held-to-Maturity Financial Assets 
Fixed  and  floating  rate  bonds  are  classified  as  held-to-maturity  where  it  is  the  intention  to  hold 
them until maturity date.  These securities are initially recognised at fair value and then are carried 
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.   

Loans and Receivables 
Fixed term deposits that have a term of 90 days or greater from date of inception are classified as 
loans and receivables.  These deposits are initially recognised at fair value and are then carried at 
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.  They are classified as current assets if the 
term  to  maturity  from  reporting  date  is  less  than  12  months  and  non-current  if  the  term  to 
maturity is greater than 12 months.

(k) Financial Assets (continued) 

Available-for-Sale Financial Assets 
Long  term  investments  are  classified  as  available-for-sale  financial  assets  and  are  carried  at  fair 
value.  Unrealised changes in fair value are taken to the available-for-sale reserve until the asset is 
sold, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative change in 
fair value previously reported in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss. 

Investments  in  operating  subsidiaries  are  also  classified  as  available-for-sale  financial  assets  and 
are carried at cost in accordance with AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.   

From time to time, the Company may hold controlling interests in unlisted unit trusts which classify 
their  long-term  investments  as  ‘at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss’.    On  consolidation  of  these 
trusts  into  the  results  of  the  Group,  their  long-term  investments  are  designated  as  available-for-
sale  financial  assets  to  achieve  consistency  with  long-term  investments  held  directly  by  the 
Company.    Unrealised  changes  in  fair  value  are  taken  to  an  available-for-sale  reserve  until  the 
asset  is  sold,  at  which  time  the  cumulative  change  in  fair  value  previously  reported  in  equity  is 
recognised in profit or loss. 

Impairment Losses on Available-For-Sale Financial Assets 
An  impairment  loss  on  available-for-sale  financial  assets  is  recognised  where  the  Board  assesses 
that there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the value of the asset, in accordance with 
AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.  In assessing whether an asset is 
impaired,  the  Board  will  consider  a  number  of  quantitative  and  qualitative  factors,  including  the 
current  market  price  of  the  asset,  research  performed  internally  by  experienced  equity  analysts, 
and,  where  appropriate,  external  research  that  provides  guidance  on  the  long-term  underlying 
value of the asset. 

If an asset is deemed to be impaired, the difference between fair value and cost will be recognised 
as  an  impairment  charge  in  profit  or  loss,  less  any  impairment  losses  relating  to  that  asset  that 
have  been  recognised  in  previous  periods.    Subsequent  reversals  of  impairment  losses  are 
recognised directly in equity through the available-for-sale reserve.   

Investments in Associates 
Investments  in  associates  are  accounted  for  using  the  equity  method  of  accounting  in  the 
consolidated financial statements. An associate is an entity over which the Group is determined to 
have significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture.  The Group generally 
deems it has significant influence if it has greater than a 20% share in the entity. 

Under the equity method, the investment in an associate is carried in the consolidated Statement 
of Financial Position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the 
associate.  Where an associate was previously a controlled entity of the Group, the deemed cost 
for the purpose of applying the equity method is the fair value on the date that the Group ceased 
to have a controlling interest. 

After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise 
any impairment loss with the respect to the Group’s net investment in associates.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(k) Financial Assets (continued) 
The  Group’s  share  of  an  associate’s  post-acquisition  profit  or  loss  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss, 
and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves, including its available-for-sale reserve, is 
recognised  in  reserves.    The  cumulative  post-acquisition  movements  are  adjusted  against  the 
carrying amount of the investment.  Dividends receivable from an associate are recognised in the 
Company’s  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income  as  income,  while  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements they reduce the carrying value of the investment.   

(l) Property, Plant and Equipment 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any 
accumulated  impairment  losses.    Depreciation  is  calculated  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the 
estimated useful life of the assets as follows: 

 - Furniture, fittings and leasehold improvements 
 - Computer equipment  

- over three to five years 
- over three to five years 

If  the  estimated  recoverable  amount  of  an  asset  is  less  than  its  carrying  amount,  the  carrying 
amount will be written down to the recoverable amount. 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future 
economic benefits are expected from its use. 

(m) Trade and Other Payables  
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost.  They represent liabilities for goods  and 
services  received  by  the  Group  prior  to  the  end  of  the  financial  period  that  remain  unpaid  at 
balance date.  They are recognised at the point where the Group becomes obliged to make future 
payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.   

 (o) Provisions and Employee Benefits 

Wages and Salaries, Annual Leave and Sick Leave 
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected  to 
be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services 
up  to  the  reporting  date,  measured  at  the  amounts  expected  to  be  paid  when  the  liabilities  are 
settled. Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are 
measured at the rates paid or payable. 

Long Service Leave 
Liabilities  for  long  service  leave  are  recognised  when  employees  reach  a  qualifying  period  of 
continuous service.  

Bonus Plan 
Liabilities and expenses for bonuses are recognised where contractually obliged or where there is a 
past practice that has created a constructive obligation. 

Directors’ Entitlements 
Liabilities  for  Directors’  entitlements  to  fees  are  accrued  at  nominal  amounts  calculated  on  the 
basis  of  current  fee  rates.    Contributions  to  Directors’  superannuation  plans  are  charged  as  an 
expense as the contributions are paid or become payable.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(p) Share Purchase Plan 
The  Company  has  in  place  a  Share  Purchase  Plan  (SPP)  for  employees  and  Non-executive 
Directors (‘Participants’) to purchase shares in the Company (see Directors Report – Remuneration 
Report – Share Purchase Plan). The Company provides financial assistance to Participants, by way 
of  an  interest  free  loan.  Loans  to  Participants  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value,  which  is 
determined by discounting loans to their net present value using the risk-free interest rate at the 
time the loan is granted and an estimated repayment schedule.  Following initial recognition, they 
are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, adjusted for changes in the 
projected repayment schedule.  Changes in the carrying value of these are recognised in ‘interest 
income’  in  profit  or  loss.    The  cost  of  providing  the  benefit  to  Participants  is  recognised  as  an 
employee  benefits  expense  in  profit  or  loss  on  a  straight  line  basis  over  the  expected  life  of  the 
loan, in accordance with AASB 2: Share Based Payments. 

Details of the loans outstanding at balance date, and of the changes in carrying value of the loans 
and  employee  benefits  expense  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  during  the  year  ended  30  June  2011 
are provided in note 11. 

(q) Contributed Equity  
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new 
shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds of the issue of 
shares and options. 

(r) Revenue Recognition 

Management Fee Revenue 
Base  management  fee  revenue  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  as  it  accrues  based  on  the 
entitlements  set  out  in  the  relevant  investment  management  agreements,  and  unlisted  funds 
constitutions or product disclosure statements.  Performance fee revenue is recognised in profit or 
loss when the Group’s entitlement to it becomes certain, usually at the end of the period to which 
the fee relates. 

Interest Income 
Interest  income  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  as  it  accrues,  using  the  effective  interest  rate 
method and if not received at balance date it is reflected in the Statement of Financial Position as 
a receivable. 

Dividend Income  
Dividend income is recognised on the applicable ex-dividend date. 

Consulting Fee Income 
Consulting fee income is recognised when the Group is entitled to it, which is determined by the 
terms and conditions of the contractual arrangement.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(s) Expense Recognition 
Expenses are recognised in profit or loss when a present obligation exists (legal or constructive) as 
a result of a past event that can be reliably measured.  Expenses are recognised in profit or loss if 
expenditure  does  not  produce  future  economic  benefits  that  qualify  for  recognition  in  the 
Statement of Financial Position. 

(t) Leases  
Operating equipment lease payments are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-
line basis over the lease term.  

(u) Income Tax 
The current income tax payable is based on the Group’s taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit 
differs  from  profit  as  reported  in  the  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income  because  of  items  of 
income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are not taxable or 
deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted 
or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.  

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of 
taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred 
tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable 
that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be 
utilised.  

(v) Earnings Per Share 
Basic  earnings  per  share  is  determined  by  dividing  the  net  profit  attributable  to  members  of  the 
Company  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  outstanding  during  the  financial 
year. 

Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing the net profit attributable to members of the 
Company, adjusted for the impact of potential equity, divided by the weighted average number of 
ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

(w) Dividends 
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, determined or publicly recommended 
by the Directors on or before the end of the financial year but not paid at balance date. 

(x) Goods and Services Tax (GST) 
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of recoverable GST. Where GST 
is  not  recoverable  from  the  taxation  authority,  the  GST  is  recognised  as  part  of  the  applicable 
expense or cost of the asset acquired.

The following reflects the earnings and weighted average share data used in calculation of basic 
and diluted earnings per share. 

a) Earnings per Share 

Basic earnings per share 
Net profit attributable to shareholders – basic 
Weighted average number of shares for 
basic earnings per share (‘000)

Diluted earnings per share 

The weighted average number of securities on a fully diluted 
basis can be reconciled to the weighted average number of 
securities used to calculate basic earnings per share as follows: 
Weighted average number of shares already issued (‘000) 
Weighted average number of shares on assumed exercise of:

b) Further information 
The Company has on issue 10.2 million Class B shares (2010: 10.2 million) that represent potential 
ordinary  shares.  The  Class  B  shares  have  the  potential  to  dilute  basic  earnings  per  share  in  the 
future. If the Class B shares were converted for the year ended 30 June 2011, the total weighted 
average number of securities for the purposes of calculating the diluted earnings per share would 
be 157,477,197 (2010: 155,720,857). 

For the calculation of the diluted earnings per share for the year ended 30 June 2011, the effect of 
the  MFG  2011  Options  is  dilutive  since  the  options  were  exercised  during  the  year  at  a  market 
price above the exercise price.  

As  at  balance  date  approximately  3.5  million  MFG  2011  Options  had  been  exercised  and  the 
remaining 2.5 million options lapsed.

Earnings Per Share (continued) 

The  Company  has  on  issue  7.9  million  MFG  2016  Options  (2010:  7.9  million)  that  represent 
potential  ordinary  shares.  The  2016  options  are  anti-dilutive  because  their  exercise  price  was  in 
excess of the market price of the Company’s ordinary shares throughout the year. These securities 
have the potential to dilute basic earnings per share in the future but it is not possible to estimate 
the potential impact they will have on the total weighted average number of shares for purposes 
of calculating diluted earnings per share in the future. Further details of the terms of these options 
and shares are included in note 15.  

7. 

Dividends 

No dividends were paid during the financial year (2010: nil). The Directors have proposed a final 
fully franked dividend of 1.5 cents per ordinary share in respect of the 2011 financial year, which 
represents    $2.28  million.  In  accordance  with  accounting  standards,  the  dividend  has  not  been 
provided for in the 30 June 2011 financial statements.

The amount of franking credits available for 
subsequent financial year are:

c) Fair Value Disclosures 

i) Financial Assets carried at Fair Value 

Accounting standards require financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value 
to be disclosed by source of valuation inputs using a three level fair value hierarchy: 

•  Level 1 :  The Group invests in liquid securities quoted on major securities exchanges. The 

fair value of these investments is based on quoted bid prices. 

•  Level  2  :    The  Group  invests  in  unlisted  trusts  which  in  turn  invest  in  liquid  securities 
quoted on major stock exchanges. The fair value is estimated using the redemption price 
provided by the Investment Manager of the unlisted trust. 

•  Level 3 :  The Group invests in unlisted trusts which typically invest in unlisted companies. 

The fair value is estimated based on Director’s valuation. 

The  three  level  fair  value  hierarchy  does  not  apply  to  the  Group’s  investments  in  loans  and 
receivables or held-to-maturity financial assets, as these are not measured at fair value. 

Listed shares 

The  fair  value  of  the  Group’s  investments  in  listed  shares  has  been  determined  directly  by 
reference to published price quotations in an active market and are categorised as Level 1 in the 
fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Group’s listed securities categorised as Level 1 is $40.3 
million  (2010:  $33.4  million)  which  comprises  both  held-for-trading  and  available-for-sale  listed 
securities.  

Unlisted funds - Magellan 

The fair values of investments in the Magellan Global Fund and Magellan Infrastructure Fund are 
calculated using the redemption unit prices at balance date. They are categorised as Level 2 in the 
fair  value  hierarchy  on  the  basis  that  the  inputs  into  the  redemption  unit  price  are  directly 
observable  from  published  price  quotations.  The  fair  value  of  the  Group’s  investment  in  these 
funds categorised as Level 2 is $38.0 million (2010: $33.2 million).

c) Fair Value Disclosures (continued) 

i) Financial Assets carried at Fair Value (continued) 

Unlisted funds – Other 

‘Unlisted  funds –  Other’ comprises  units in  two private  equity funds, for which there is no active 
market.  These funds invest in equity and debt securities of unlisted companies, which are valued 
by the funds’ Investment Manager using valuation techniques.  The Group’s Directors’ have applied 
a discount to the unit prices provided by the funds’ Investment Manager to reflect the illiquidity of 
the units, and the estimated impact on the Investment Manager valuations of investee companies 
of periodic re-financing requirements.   

The  Directors’  valuation  is  based  on  assumptions  which  are  not  supported  by  observable  market 
prices and therefore categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  The Directors believe the 
estimated  fair  value  based  on  other  unlisted  funds’  Investment  Manager  valuations  and  these 
discount  assumptions  recorded  in  the  Statement  of  Financial  Position  and  the  related  changes  in 
fair value recorded in other comprehensive income are reasonable and the most appropriate at the 
reporting date.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year. 

ii) Held-to-maturity financial assets 

Fixed  and  floating  rate  securities  are  recognised  at  amortised  cost  and  have  a  carrying  value  of 
$0.3 million at 30 June 2011 (2010: $9.7 million). The fair value of these securities is estimated to 
be $0.3 million (2010: $9.7 million). 

iii) Loans and receivables 

Fixed term deposits are carried at amortised cost which is a close approximation to fair value due 
to the relatively short duration of the fixed term deposits. 

d) Fixed charge 

Certain of the Group’s investment assets are held in custody with Merrill Lynch International (MLI), 
a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America. The Group has granted MLI a fixed charge over the 
Group’s rights, title and interest in these assets as security for the performance of its obligations 
under an International Prime Brokerage Agreement (IPBA) which it has entered into with MLI.

Share Purchase Plan (SPP) 

The Group has put in place a Share Purchase Plan (the ‘Plan’) for its employees and Non-executive 
Directors (‘Participants’). The Plan will provide assistance to Participants to invest in shares in the 
Company  in  order  to  more  closely  align  the  interests  of  Participants  with  the  interests  of  the 
shareholders of the Group. 

Employees  are  invited  to  apply  for  a  specified  number  of  fully  paid  ordinary  shares  in  the 
Company. Subject to the Listing Rules, the Directors have overall discretion in relation to the Plan 
and  may  vary  the  rules.  The  Directors  have  currently  determined  that  the  number  of  Company 
shares that may be offered is limited to: 

i)  shares with a market value equal to a multiple of one times the employee’s after-tax bonus for 
the financial year (ending 30 June) prior to the financial year in which the subsequent offer is 
made; and 

ii)  such further number of shares as requested and approved by the Board, subject to: 

(cid:131) where  the  total  amount  of  the  financial  assistance  being  provided  to  an  employee 
participant  will  exceed  $750,000  or  will  exceed  three  times  the  amount  of  an  employee 
participant’s  annual  base  salary  inclusive  of  superannuation,  the  prior  approval  of  the 
Board is required; and 

(cid:131) the maximum amount of financial assistance that may be provided by the company to an 

individual employee is $1,000,000. 

and, in each case: 

iii)  subject to a maximum of $750,000 worth of shares per employee in each financial year, other 
than in the case of a new employee where the Board may resolve, in its absolute discretion, to 
initially offer additional shares to the new employee; and  

iv)  the aggregate maximum number of shares issued under each subsequent offer under the Plan 
will  not  exceed  5%  of  the  total  number  of  shares  on  issue  at  the  time  of  the  offer  provided 
that the Company may issue additional Company shares in any subsequent offer up to, but not 
exceeding, the number of shares that it has bought back in the period since the last offer of 
shares under the Plan. 

No performance hurdles will attach to the invitation to participate in, or the issue of shares under, 
the Plan. The Directors can resolve to vary the timing of these invitations. 

The  issue  price  for  the  shares  is  the  fair  market  value  of  the  shares  at  the  offer  date.  This  will 
ordinarily  be  calculated  using  the  volume  weighted  average  price  of  traded  shares  in  the  5 
business days prior to the offer date. Participants may be required to make an upfront contribution 
of up to 25% of the issue price at the time of issue. The remaining amount of the issue price is 
funded by  way of a  full recourse interest free loan from  the Company. The  Directors waived  the 
requirement for an upfront contribution in respect of offers made to certain employees pursuant to 
the SPP in respect of the years ended 30 June 2010 and 30 June 2011. 

Participants will be required to apply 25% of their after tax annual bonus each year to repay the 
loan until the loan has been fully repaid. The maximum term of the loan for employee Participants  
is  10  years.  Any  outstanding  balance  at  the  end  of  10  years  must  be  repaid  by  the  employee. 
Employees are not entitled to repay their loan early.

Share Purchase Plan (SPP) (continued) 

Participating Non-executive Directors are required to repay the loan on the fifth anniversary of the 
date of issue of their shares. Participating Non-executive Directors are entitled to repay their loan 
early. 

Loans  to  Participants  under  the  Plan  are  secured  on  the  shares  issued  to  that  Participant.  The 
shares are not be transferable until the loan is fully paid. Once the loan has been fully repaid, the 
shares issued under the Plan are freely transferable. 

Dividends are payable on the shares issued under the Plan on the same basis as all other issued 
fully paid ordinary shares, and will be applied to repay the loan until the loan has been fully repaid. 

The shares issued under the Plan have the same rights to participate in any entitlements or bonus 
issues and will otherwise rank equally with all other issued ordinary shares. 

Upon request from the Company, the outstanding loan amount must be repaid in full immediately 
without further demand or notice upon the earliest of: 

i)  any  breach  by  the  Participant  of  the  Share  Purchase  Plan  Rules  (the  ‘Plan  Rules’)  where  the 
breach is not remedied within 7 days of the Company's notice to the Participant to do so; or 

ii)  an application being made to a court for an order, or an order being made, that the Participant 
be made bankrupt (or any similar  event in  any  jurisdiction  as determined  by  the Board in its 
discretion). 

If  a  Participant  ceases  to  be  an  employee  whilst  a  loan  to  that  Participant  is  outstanding,  the 
Participant must: 

i) 

repay  the  total  amount  owing  under  the  loan  within  3  months  (or,  in  the  event  that  a 
Participant  has  died,  within  6  months),  or  such  longer  period  determined  by  the  Board  in  its 
discretion, of ceasing to be an employee and, upon payment of such amount the holding lock 
and  any  security  over  the  shares  issued  under  the  Plan  will  be  released  and  the  Participant 
shall be entitled to retain his or her shares issued under the Plan; or 

ii)  require the shares issued under the Plan to be bought back or sold by the Company and must 
pay to the Company the balance (if any) of the total amount owing outstanding under the loan 
after the application of the proceeds of sale. 

The carrying value of loans outstanding at balance date was: 

a) Current 
Amounts due within one year 

b) Non-current 
Amounts due later than one year and 
within ten years

Share Purchase Plan (SPP) (continued) 

Shares are issued to Participants at an issue price equal to the fair market value of the shares at 
offer  date  calculated  using  the  volume  weighted  average  price  of  traded  shares  in  the  five 
business days prior to the offer date.

June  2011  closing  market  price  of  $1.32  was  $8.3  million  (2010:$7.6  million).    No  amounts  are 
past due nor considered impaired as the SPP provides that any shortfall between the loan amount 
and the value of the shares is recoverable from the Participants.

Both  the  increase  in  the  carrying  value  of  the  loans  recorded  in  interest  income  and  the  cost  of 
providing  the  benefit  to  Participants  recorded  in  employee  benefits  expense  are  non-cash  items.  
Over the life of the loans the amounts credited to interest income and the amounts recognised as 
employee benefits expense will exactly offset each other.  The accounting treatment of these loans

Contributed Equity (continued) 

a) Movement during the year of Group securities on issue (continued) 

The key terms and rights attaching to the 10,200,000 Class B Shares issued to Hamish Douglass 
are as follows: 

-  No entitlement to receive dividends. 
- 

If  Mr  Douglass  has  met  certain  service  conditions,  the  Class  B  shares  will  convert  to  the 
number  of  ordinary  shares  equal  to  0.06  times  the  number  of  ordinary  shares  of  the 
Company  on  issue  on  21  November  2016  (up  to  a  maximum  of  170,000,000  ordinary 
shares). The maximum number of ordinary shares that will be issued on conversion of all 
the Class B shares is 10.2 million. 

For  example, based  on  the issued capital as  at  30 June 2011 the 10,200,000 the  Class B shares 
would be entitled to convert to 9,113,591 ordinary shares, being equal to 0.06 times 151,893,175 
ordinary shares on issue. 

b) Capital Management 

The  Directors  aim  to  earn  satisfactory  returns  for  shareholders  over  time  via  the  sensible 
deployment  of  the  Group’s  capital,  whilst  maintaining  capital  strength  to  underpin  the  business. 
The Directors intend to maintain a very strong balance sheet including a high level of liquidity to 
ensure  the  business  will  withstand  almost  any  market  conditions  or  unforseen  event.  This 
conservative balance sheet approach has benefitted the Group, particularly during the early stages 
of the funds management business in the extreme markets of the last four years, and will benefit 
the Group in the future. 

The Directors believe that the Group’s core business, funds management, is scalable over time and 
the Group’s funds under management should continue to grow without the need to make material 
additional capital investment into the business.  

The  Group’s  capital  consists  of  its  shareholders  equity  and  the  Group  has  no  external  net 
borrowings. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Magellan Asset Management Limited (MAM), 
is  the  holder  of  an  Australian  Financial  Services  License  (AFSL).  As  a  holder  of  an  AFSL,  the 
Australian  Securities  and  Investment  Commission  (ASIC)  sets  out  requirements  in  respect  of 
holdings  of  Net  Tangible  Assets  and  Surplus  Liquid  Funds.  MAM  has  complied  with  all  externally 
imposed requirements to hold an AFSL during the year.  

There  were  no  changes  in  the  Group’s  approach  to  capital  management  during  the  year.  Other 
than  the  requirements  imposed  under  the  AFSL,  the  Group  is  not  subject  to  any  externally 
imposed capital requirements.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies 

a) Financial Risk Management Objectives, Policies and Processes 

The activities of the Group and the Company give rise to exposure to direct and indirect financial 
risk, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.  Risks are managed through a process of 
ongoing identification, measurement and monitoring.  

Exposure to financial risk occurs through the impact on the Group’s and the Company’s profit and 
total equity arising from: 

•  changes in the value of the Group’s and the Company’s investment portfolios and changes 

• 

in other financial assets and liabilities; and 
the  effect  of  market  movements  on  the  Group’s  funds  under  management  and  the 
consequent impact on the management fees earned. 

The Group’s investment assets comprise long term, strategic investments in the Magellan Flagship 
Fund  Limited  and  two  Magellan  unlisted  funds  of  which  a  controlled  entity  of  the  Group  is  the 
Investment  Manager,  and  the  application  of  a  portion  of  the  Group’s  cash  reserves  into  a  small, 
direct portfolio of investments.  The investment portfolios of Magellan Flagship Fund Limited and 
the  two  Magellan  unlisted  funds  are  managed  on  a  daily  basis  by  the  Investment  Manager  in  
accordance  with  the  investment  objectives  and  mandates  of  those  funds.    Further  details  of  the 
risk  management  objectives  and  policies  of  those  entities  can  be  found  in  the  annual  report  of 
Magellan  Flagship  Fund  Limited  and  the  Product  Disclosure  Statement  (PDS)  of  the  Magellan 
unlisted funds. 

The  Group  earns  management  fees  on  funds  under  management,  which  are  based  on  a 
percentage  of  the  value  of  those  entities.    Market  movements  will  therefore  affect  the 
management fees that the Group earns.  The Group may also be entitled to earn performance fees 
on a portion of the funds that it manages.  These performance fees are reliant on the performance 
of  portfolios  compared  to  absolute  and  index  relative  hurdles  and  hence  have  some  exposure  to 
market risk. 

The remainder of this note provides further details of the specific risks faced by the Group and the 
Company and illustrates the potential impact of changes in risk variables on profit or loss and the 
Statement of Changes in Equity. 

b) Market Risk 
Market risk is the risk that the Group’s revenues and the fair value or future cash flows of financial 
instruments  will  fluctuate  due  to  changes  in  market  variables  such  as  equity  prices,  foreign 
exchange rates, and interest rates.  

(i) Equity Price Risk 
Equity  price  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  fair  value  of  equities  increases  or  decreases  as  a  result  of 
changes  in  market  prices,  caused  by  factors  specific  to  the  individual  stock  or  affecting  all 
instruments  in  the  market.    Equity  price  risk  exposures  arise  from  the  Group’s  entitlement  to 
investment  management  fees  on  the  funds  under  management,  and  from  the  Group’s  and  the 
Company’s direct investment in equity securities.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued)  

b) Market Risk (continued) 

(i) Equity Price Risk (continued) 

All  equity  investments  are  carried  at  fair  value  with  changes  arising  from  held-for-trading 
investments  reflected  in  profit  or  loss,  and  changes  arising  from  available-for-sale  investments 
reflected in other comprehensive income. 

Over  the  past  10  years,  the  annual  movement  in  the  MSCI  Total  Return  Net  World  Index  varied 
between +23% and -24% (in AUD) and +31% and -30% (in USD). Performance of markets is not 
always  a  reliable  guide  to  future  performance,  and  the  Company’s  investment  portfolio  does  not 
attempt to mirror the global indices, but this very wide range of historic movements in the indices 
provides  an  indication  of  the  magnitude  of  equity  price  movements  that  might  reasonably  be 
expected within the portfolio over the next twelve months. The impact of equity price movements, 
expressed in percentage terms, on the net profit reported by the Company, is linear. 

Impact arising from the Group’s own investment portfolio 
Each  incremental  increase  of  5%  in  the  market  prices  of  the  Group’s  and  the  Company’s 
investments held at balance date would have had the following impact on net profit and equity:

Assumptions and explanatory notes 

i)  The Company and the Group hold an investment in an unlisted trust that invests in unlisted 
equities.    The  fair  value  of  this  trust  is  determined  by  Director’s  valuation.  The  underlying 
values of the unlisted equities are determined with reference to the projected cash flows of 
those  businesses,  which  may  or  may  not  be  correlated  with  changes  in  market  prices  of 
listed equities.  No assessment has been made of the impact of changes in market prices on 
the fair value of that trust. 

ii)  A decrease of 5% in the market prices of the Group’s and the Company’s investments held at 

balance date would have an equal and opposite effect to the changes disclosed above. 

iii)  The Group recognises impairment losses on available-for-sale investments in accordance with 
the  accounting  policy  disclosed  in  note  2(k).    For  the  purposes  of  the  sensitivity  disclosed 
above, it has been assumed that a 5% change in market prices would have no impact on the 
assessment of whether individual assets are impaired.

i)  A decrease of 5% in the average value of funds under management of the Group would have 

an equal and opposite effect to the changes disclosed above; 

ii)  Changes  in  market  prices  may  impact  the  inflows  to,  and  outflows  from,  the  Group’s  funds 

under management. This impact has not been estimated. 

The  equity  price  impact  on  base  fees  earned  from  funds  under  management  may  arise  from 
movements in the underlying prices in local currency, exchange rate movements, or a combination 
of both. Approximately 82% of the Group’s base management fee revenue for the year ended 30 
June  2011  (30  June  2010:  84%)  was  exposed  to  movements  in  the  Australian  dollar  relative  to 
other currencies. 

The Group has a variety of different performance fee arrangements with its funds and some of its 
wholesale  mandates.  The  Group’s  entitlement  to  these  fees  may  be  dependant  on  performance 
relative to absolute targets, index relative targets, high watermarks or some combination of these. 
Fees  also  accrue  over  different  calculation  periods,  ranging  from  1  month  to  3  years.  A  5% 
decrease  in  the  absolute  value  of  the  Group’s  portfolios  but  no  change  in  the  index  relative 
performance would have reduced performance fees earned by the Group in 2011 by approximately 
$270,000  (2010:  nil).  It  is  not  feasible  to  estimate  the  impact  on  performance  fees  of  a  5% 
increase in the absolute performance with no change in relative performance.  

(ii) Currency Risk 
Currency  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  fair  value  or  future  cash  flows  of  a  financial  instrument  will 
fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.  The Group and the Company are potentially 
exposed to currency risk on foreign currency denominated: 

-  held-for-trading financial assets; 
-  available-for-sale financial assets; 
cash balances and overdrafts; 
- 
currency derivatives; 
- 
-  payables  and  receivables,  such  as  income  receivable  from  foreign  investments  or 

outstanding settlements on purchase or sale of foreign investments.

(ii) Currency Risk (continued) 
To  the  extent  that  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  available-for-sale  financial  assets  arise  from 
currency movements, this will be recognised in the Statement of Changes in Equity.   

At balance date, the Group’s direct currency risk exposure arose from: 

- 
- 

foreign currency financial assets designated as available-for-sale; 
foreign currency cash balances. 

An  increase  of  10%  in  the  Australian  dollar  relative  to  each  currency  to  which  the  Group  and 
Company had significant exposure would have the following impact on amounts recognised in net 
profit and amounts recognised in equity:

The  Group  and  the  Company  held  negligible  foreign  cash  at  30  June  2011.  The  Group’s  and  the 
Company’s foreign currency exchange exposure arises on non-monetary assets and is recognised 
directly in other comprehensive income, unless financial assets are sold. A decrease of 10% in the 
Australian dollar relative to each currency to which the Group and Company have exposure would 
have an opposite impact of materially similar magnitude on amounts recognised directly in equity 
for both the Group and the Company.  

The Group and the Company also have indirect foreign exchange exposure via the investments in 
Magellan Flagship Fund Limited, Magellan Global Fund and Magellan Infrastructure Fund.  

Magellan Flagship Fund Limited is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and its market value 
is denominated in Australian dollars.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011 

Magellan  Global  Fund  and  Magellan  Infrastructure  Fund  are  unlisted  registered  schemes,  also 
denominated  in  Australian  dollars.    These  entities’  investment  portfolios  comprise  companies 
predominantly denominated in foreign currencies, and with extensive operating exposure to global  

16.

b) Market Risk (continued) 

(ii) Currency Risk (continued) 

currency  fluctuations.    Changes  in  their  fair  value  are  therefore  influenced  by  movements  in 
currencies.    The  sensitivity  analysis  disclosed  above  disregards  the  impact  on  the  fair  value  of 
these investments. 

The  equity  price  impact  on  base  fees  earned  from  funds  under  management  may  arise  from 
movements in the underlying prices in local currency, exchange rate movements, or a combination 
of both. Approximately 82% of the Group’s base management fee revenue for the year ended 30 
June  2011  (30  June  2010:  84%)  was  exposed  to  movements  in  the  Australian  dollar  relative  to 
other currencies. 

(iii) Interest Rate Risk 

Interest  rate  risk  arises  from  the  possibility  that  changes  in  interest  rates  will  affect  future  cash 
flows  or  the  fair  value  of  financial  instruments.    At  balance  date,  the  Group  and  the  Company’s 
exposure to changes in interest rates arises from: 

- 
- 

cash balances, including amounts on term deposit; 
floating rate notes. 

The  Group  and  the  Company  also  held  fixed  interest  securities,  designated  as  “held-to-maturity” 
and  recognised  at  amortised  cost.    Future  changes  in  interest  rates  will  not  affect  the  carrying 
value of these securities, nor the future cash flows to be received.   

Substantially all of the Group’s and Company’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents are held with 
major Australian banks.  Cash term deposits are of short duration and their fair value would not be 
materially affected by changes in interest rates.   

The sensitivity of the Group’s and the Company’s net profit and equity to changes in interest rates 
is  reflected  in  the  impact  on  the  interest  that  would  be  earned.  Based  on  the  cash  and  cash 
equivalents held by the Group and the Company at balance date, the effect on the annual interest 
income of an increase of 100 basis points in floating interest rates would be as follows: 

Decrease in net profit and equity

A  decrease  of  100  basis  points  in  floating  rate  interest  rates  would  have  an  equal  but  opposite 
effect on the annual interest income and the net profit attributable to members of the Company.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued) 

 c) Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  Group  will  encounter  difficulty  in  meeting  obligations  associated 
with financial liabilities. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash reserves to 
cover its liabilities and by receiving management fee income on a regular basis. 

As  at  30  June  2011,  the  Group  had  an  obligation  to  settle  trade  creditors  of  $2.1  million  (2010: 
$1.2 million) within 30 days.  The Group had cash reserves of $1.6 million (2010: $2.2 million) and 
a  further  $10.0  million  (2010:  $3.2  million)  of  receivables  collectable  and  fixed  term  deposits 
maturing within 30 days to cover these liabilities, accordingly the Group does not have a significant 
direct exposure to liquidity risk. 

d) Credit Risk 

Credit  risk  represents  the  loss  that  would  be  recognised  if  counterparties  failed  to  perform  as 
contracted. Market prices generally incorporate credit assessments into valuations and risk of loss 
is implicitly provided for in the carrying value of financial assets and liabilities as they are marked 
to  market.  The  total  credit  risk  is  therefore  limited  to  the  amount  carried  on  the  Statement  of 
Financial Position.  

The Group minimises concentrations of credit risk by undertaking transactions with counterparties 
that  are  recognised  and  reputable  or  are  recognised  and  reputable  financial  intermediaries  with 
acceptable credit ratings determined by a recognised rating agency. 

The  Group  has  entered  into  International  Prime Brokerage  Agreements  (IPBA)  with  Merrill  Lynch 
International (MLI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America.  The Company has entered into 
an  IPBA,  and  two  further  IPBAs  have  been  entered  into  by  a  controlled  entity  in  its  capacity  as 
Trustee  and  Responsible  Entity  of  the  Magellan  Global  Fund  and  Magellan  Infrastructure  Fund 
(Unlisted Funds).   

The  services  provided  by  MLI  to  the  Group  include  clearing  and  settlement  of  transactions, 
financing,  securities  lending  and  acting  as  custodian  for  the  Company  and  the  Unlisted  Funds’ 
assets.  The IPBA with MLI is in a form that is typical of prime brokerage arrangements. In acting 
as  custodian  of  the  Unlisted  Funds’  assets,  MLI  complies  with  the  relevant  provisions  of  the 
Corporations Act and applicable ASIC policy statements relating to registered managed investment 
scheme  property  arrangements  with  custodians.  In  the  event  of  MLI  becoming  insolvent  the 
Company and the Unlisted Funds may rank as an unsecured creditor in regard to any investments 
that have been used by MLI for its own purposes. 

During  the  period  Magellan  Asset  Management  Limited  (MAM),  in  its  capacity  as  Trustee  and 
Responsible Entity of the Unlisted Funds, amended the prime brokerage arrangements with MLI as 
follows: 

•  Limiting the extent to which the Unlisted Funds’ securities held by MLI may be used 
by MLI for its own purposes to value not exceeding A$200 million (in the case of the 
Magellan  Global  Fund)  or  A$100  million  (in  the  case  of  the  Magellan  Infrastructure 
Fund). Investments of an Unlisted Fund utilised by MLI become the property of MLI 
and the Fund will have a right against MLI for the return of equivalent assets.

d) Credit Risk (continued) 

•  Establishing an arrangement where MAM may, at its sole election and at a time of its own 
choosing, cause the transfer of an Unlisted Fund’s unencumbered securities from MLI to a 
separate custodian, Prime Asset Custody Transfers Limited (PACT). PACT forms part of the 
Bank  of  America  Merrill  Lynch  Group  of  Companies. If  transferred  to  PACT,  the  Unlisted 
Fund’s  securities  would  be  held  in  a  custody  account  by  PACT  pursuant  to  a  Custody 
Agreement.  PACT  may  not  use  in  any  way  the  Unlisted  Fund’s  securities  credited  to  the 
PACT custody account for its own purposes. 

The Company has also entered into an arrangement giving it access to PACT. 

The credit quality of Bank of America / Merrill Lynch’s senior debt is rated, as at 30 June 2011, by 
Standard & Poor’s as being A, and by Moody’s as being A2. 

At 30 June 2011 the Group had an outstanding balance totalling $6.3 million (2010: $5.3 million) 
for loans to participants under the share purchase plan and held at 30 June 2011 Company shares 
valued  at  $8.3  million  (2010:  $7.6  million)  as  security  for  the  loans  (note  11  provides  further 
information).  The  loans  were  made  to  the  Group’s  employees  and  Company’s  Non-executive 
Directors on a full recourse basis.  

At 30 June 2011 all cash and receivables are collectable within 30 days and there are no amounts 
which are past due.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

INTRODUCTION 

This Corporate Governance Statement (‘Statement’) applies to Magellan Financial Group Limited  
(the ‘Company’) and its controlled entities (collectively, the ‘Group’).   The Company’s Directors 
and  Group  senior  management  recognise  the  importance  of  good  corporate  governance.  The 
Group’s  corporate  governance  framework,  policies  and  practices  are  designed  to  ensure  the 
effective management and operation of the Group, and will remain under regular review. 

Some  of  the  Company’s  controlled  entities  have adopted  their  own  policies  and  practices  to  deal 
with  specific  matters  relevant  to  their  business  including,  for  instance,  compliance  with  the 
conditions of an Australian Financial Services Licence. Where such policies and practices have been 
adopted, they have been developed in line with the standards referred to in this Statement.  

This  Statement  reports  against  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council’s  Corporate  Governance 
Principles and Recommendations (‘ASX Recommendations’).  To the extent they are relevant to 
the Company, the ASX Recommendations have been adopted by the Company. Where, after due 
consideration, 
from  an  ASX 
the  Company's  corporate  governance  practices  depart 
Recommendation, this Corporate Governance Statement will set out the reasons for the departure. 

1. 

LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT 

Role and responsibilities of the Board 

The  Board  is  responsible  for  the  overall  operation  and  stewardship  of  the  Group  and  is 
responsible  for  its  overall  success  and  long-term  growth  and  corporate  governance.  The 
Board  will  act  in  the  best  interests  of  the  Group  to  ensure  the  business  of  the  Group  is 
properly  managed.  The  Group’s  corporate  governance  arrangements  revolve  around  the 
Company’s Board Charter, the purpose of which is to:  

• 
• 
• 

promote high standards of corporate governance;  
clarify the role and responsibilities of the Board; and  
enable  the  Board  to  provide  strategic  guidance  for  the  Group  and  effective 
operational oversight. 

The Board may review and amend the Board Charter at any time.  The Company’s Board 
Charter is available by contacting the Company Secretary.  

The principal responsibilities of the Board include:

• 
• 

• 

• 

•

• 

approving the Group’s annual Financial Statements and reports to shareholders; 
approving the Group’s half year Financial Statements and reports to shareholders;  
reviewing and overseeing the implementation of a Corporate Code of Conduct;  
monitoring  and  ensuring  compliance  with  legal  and  regulatory  requirements  and 
ethical standards and policies;  
monitoring  and  ensuring  compliance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance 
requirements; and 
ensuring  the  Group’s  risk  management  systems,  including  internal  controls,

effectively. 

Subject to legal requirement and the Company’s Constitution, the Board may delegate any 
of  the  above  powers  to  individual  Directors,  or  committees  of  the  Board.  Any  such 
delegation shall be in compliance with the law and the Company’s Constitution. 

Evaluation of senior executive performance 

The  Group’s  Chief  Executive  Officer  reviews  the  performance  of  the  Group’s  senior 
executives.  The  Chief  Executive  Officer  sets  performance  objectives  for  each  senior 
executive  at  the  beginning  of  each  financial  year.  Performance  reviews  of  each  senior 
executive are carried out against their objectives with input from appropriate stakeholders. 

Induction of senior executives  

The Group has an induction process in place for all new employees of the Group, including 
senior  executives.  As  part  of  this  induction  process,  new  senior  executives  will  receive 
briefings on the Group’s business and its policies and procedures. These briefings will focus 
on the key operational, regulatory, risk and compliance issues that are of relevance to the 
Group. 

2. 

STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE 

Board Composition 

The Company’s Board must comprise:  

• 
• 

Directors with an appropriate range of skills, experience and expertise; and 
Directors  who  can  understand  and  competently  deal  with  current  and  emerging 
business issues. 

The following persons were Directors of the Company during the year: 

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

Chris Mackay (Chairman and Executive Director) 
Hamish Douglass (Executive Director) 
Naomi Milgrom AO (Independent Non-Executive Director) 
Paul Lewis (Independent Non-Executive Director) 
Brett Cairns (Independent Non-Executive Director) 

Details  of  each  Directors’  background,  date  of  appointment  and  attendance  at  Board 
meetings  are  set  out  in  the  Directors’  Report.  The  Board  is  confident  that  each  of  the 
Directors  will  bring  the  skills  and  qualifications  which  will  enable  them  to  effectively 
discharge their individual and collective responsibilities as Directors of the Company. 

67 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

The Company’s Constitution provides that there must be a minimum of three Directors and 
a  maximum  of  ten  Directors.  The  composition  of  the  Board  will  be  reviewed  periodically 
and its independence, and that of the individual Directors, will be assessed as part of those 
reviews. 

Independent Directors 

The  Board  has  a  majority  of  Independent  Non-Executive  Directors.  Directors  of  the 
Company  are  considered  to  be  independent  when  they  are  independent  of  management 
and  free  from  any  business  or  other  relationship  that  could  materially  interfere  with,  or 
could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered 
and independent judgment.  

The  Chairman  of  the  Board  is  not  an  independent  director.  This  is  a  departure  from  ASX 
Recommendation  2.2,  which  recommends  that  the  Chair  should  be  an  independent 
director.  The  Board  believes  that  Mr  Mackay  is  the  most  appropriate  person  to  lead  the 
Board  as  Chairman  and  that  he  is  able  to  and  does  bring  independent  judgment  to  all 
relevant issues falling within the scope of the role of Chairman and that the Company and 
Group as a whole benefits from his experience and expertise.  

Access to information  

Directors  have  access  to  any  information  they  consider  necessary  to  fulfil  their 
responsibilities  and  to  exercise  independent  judgment  when  making  decisions.    Directors 
may  obtain  independent  professional  advice  at  the  Group’s  expense,  subject  to  making  a 
request  to,  and  obtaining  the  prior  authorisation  of,  the  chairperson  of  the  Board.  Where 
the chairperson of the Board wishes to obtain independent professional advice, he or she is 
required to make a request to, and obtain the prior authorisation of, the chairperson of the 
Audit and Risk Committee of the Board. 

Retirement of Directors 

A  Director  must  retire  from  office  no  later  than  the  later  of  the  third  Annual  General 
Meeting  of  the  Company  or  three  years  following  the  Director’s  last  election  or 
appointment.  

Nominations and appointment of new Directors 

ASX  Recommendation  2.4  provides  that  the  Board  should  establish  a  Nominations 
Committee. Given the size and the nature of the Group, the Board has determined that a 
Nomination  Committee  is  not  warranted.  The  Board  considers  the  issues  that  would 
otherwise be considered by a Nominations Committee.  

Review of Board performance 

Under  the  Company’s  Board  Charter,  the  Board  will  conduct  a  review  of  its  collective 
performance  and  the  performance  of  its  Directors  every  two  years.    This  review  will 
consider  the  Board’s  role;  the  processes  of  the  Board  and  its  Committees;  the  Board’s 
performance;  and  each  Director’s  performance.    This  review  was  last  undertaken  by  the 
Board in August 2010.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

3. 

PROMOTE ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION MAKING 

Corporate Code of Conduct 

The Company has a Corporate Code of Conduct (the “Code”) that applies to all Directors 
and employees of the Group.  The purpose of this Code is to: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

articulate  the    high  standards  of  honest,  ethical  and  law-abiding  behaviour  that  is 
expected of Directors and employees of the Group; 
encourage  the  observance  of  those  standards  so  as  to  protect  and  promote  the 
interests of shareholders and other stakeholders; 
guide Directors and employees of the Group as to the practices thought necessary 
to maintain confidence in the Group’s integrity; and 
set  out  the  responsibilities  and  accountabilities  of  Directors  and  employees  of  the 
Group to report and investigate reports of unethical practices.  

A copy of the Corporate Code of Conduct is available on the Company’s website. 

Personal Trading Policy 

The  Company  has  a  Personal  Trading  Policy  that sets  out  the  circumstances  in  which  the 
Directors and employees of the Group may trade in the Company’s securities. 

The  Policy  places  restrictions  and  notification  requirements,  including  the  imposition  of 
blackout periods, trading windows and the need to obtain pre-trade approval.   

A  copy  of  the  Company’s  Personal  Trading  Policy  has  been  lodged  with  the  Australian 
Securities Exchange (ASX) and is also available the Company’s website. 

One  of  the  Company’s  controlled  entities,  Magellan  Asset  Management  Limited  (‘MAM’), 
has  also  established  its  own  Personal  Trading  Policy.      This  Policy  sets  out  the 
circumstances  in  which  MAM’s  Executive  Directors  and  employees  may  trade  in  the 
Company’s  securities  and  in  securities  generally.      The  Policy  also  places  restrictions  and 
notification  requirements,  including  the  imposition  of  blackout  periods,  trading  windows 
and the need to obtain pre-trade approval. 

4. 

SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING 

Audit and Risk Committee  

Committee composition 

The Company has established and Audit & Risk Committee (‘Committee’). The following 
persons were members of the Committee during the year: 

• 
• 
• 

Paul Lewis (Chairman and Independent Non-Executive Director) 
Brett Cairns (Independent Non-Executive Director) 
Hamish Douglass (Executive Director) 

Details  of  each  Committee  member’s  background  and  attendance  at  Audit  &  Risk 
Committee meetings are set out in the Directors’ Report.  

69 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

The Chairman of the Committee is an Independent  Non-executive  Director and is not the 
Chairman  of  the  Board.    The  Committee  also  consists  of  a  majority  of  Independent  Non-
executive Directors. This is a departure from ASX Recommendation 2.4 which recommends 
that  the  Audit  Committee  should  consist  only  of  Non-executive  Directors.  Given  the  size 
and the nature of the Group, and the skills and expertise of each Committee member, the 
Board  considers that a Committee  comprised of a majority of Independent Non-Executive 
Directors is appropriate.  

Objectives and responsibilities of the Committee 

The  objective  of  the  Committee  is  to  assist  the  Board  to  discharge  its  responsibilities  in 
relation to: 

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

effective management of financial and operational risks;  
compliance with laws and regulations;  
accurate management and financial reporting;  
maintenance of an effective and efficient audit; and  
high standards of business ethics and corporate governance. 

These  objectives  form  the  foundation  of  the  Committee’s  Charter.    A  copy  of  the 
Committee’s Charter can be found on the Company’s website. 

The Committee will endeavour to: 

• 

• 
• 

• 

• 
• 

maintain  and  improve  the  quality,  credibility  and  objectivity  of  the  financial 
accountability process;  
promote a culture of compliance within the Group;  
ensure effective communication between the Board and the Group’s senior financial 
and compliance management;  
ensure  effective  audit  functions  and  communications  between  the  Board  and  the 
Group’s auditor;  
ensure that compliance strategies and compliance functions are effective; and 
ensure that Directors are provided with financial and non-financial information that 
is of high quality and relevant to the judgments to be made by them. 

The  Committee  will  meet  a  minimum  of  three  times  each  year.    The  Chairman  of  the 
Committee will report to the Board in respect of each Committee meeting.  

Independent external audit 

The Group’s independent external auditor is Ernst & Young. The Committee is responsible 
for recommending to the Board the appointment and removal of the external auditor.  The 
independence  and  effectiveness  of  the  external  auditor  is  reviewed  regularly.    The 
Committee is also responsible for ensuring that the external audit engagement partners are 
rotated  in  accordance  with  relevant  statutory  requirements,  and  otherwise  after  a 
maximum of five years' service. 

The external auditors attend the Committee’s meetings when the Group’s half year and full 
year  Financial  Statements  are  being  considered.  The  external  auditors  also  attend  other 
meetings where relevant items are on the Committee’s agenda.

MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

The  Group’s  external  auditors  attend  the  Company’s  Annual  General  Meeting  and  are 
available to answer questions from shareholders in relation to the conduct of the audit, the 
Audit  Report,  the  accounting  policies  adopted  by  the  Group  in  preparing  the  Financial 
Statements and the independence of the auditors. 

5. 

MAKE TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE 

The  Company  is  committed  to  complying  with  its  continuous  disclosure  obligations  under 
the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules and releasing relevant information to 
the  market  and  shareholders  in  a  timely  and  direct  manner  and  to  promote  investor 
confidence in the Company and its securities. 

Continuous Disclosure Policy 

The Board has adopted a Continuous Disclosure Policy that is designed to ensure:  

• 

• 

• 

the  Company  as  a  minimum  complies  with  its  continuous  disclosure  obligations 
under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules;  
the  Company  provides  shareholders  and  the  market  with  timely,  direct  and  equal 
access to information issued by it; and 
that  information  which  is  not  generally  available  and  which  may  have  a  material 
effect  on  the  price  or  value  of  the  Company’s  securities  be  identified  and 
appropriately  considered  by  the  Directors  and    Group  senior  executives  for 
disclosure to the market. 

The Continuous Disclosure Policy, which can be found on the Company’s website, also sets 
out  procedures  which  must  be  followed  in  relation  to  releasing  announcements  to  the 
market and discussions with analysts, the media or shareholders. 

The Company’s market announcements will also be available on its website after they are 
released to the ASX. 

6. 

RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS 

Communication to Shareholders 

The  Board  is  committed  to  ensuring  that  shareholders  are  fully  informed  of  material 
matters that affect the Group’s position and prospects. It seeks to accomplish this through 
the release of: 

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

the Group’s Half Year Results in February each year; 
the Group’s Full Year Results in August each year; 
the Chairman’s and Chief Executive Officer’s Letter to Shareholders each year; 
the Group’s Annual Report; 
the Chairman’s address to the Annual General Meeting; and 
market  announcements  on  the  Group’s  website  after  they  are  disclosed  to  the 
market.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

Shareholder Meetings 

The Company holds its Annual General Meeting in October and a copy of the notice of the 
Annual General Meeting is released to the ASX and also mailed to shareholders. The Board 
encourages  shareholders  to  attend  the  Annual  General  Meeting  or  to  appoint  a  proxy  to 
vote  on  their  behalf  if  they  are  unable  to  attend.  The  formal  addresses  at  the  Annual 
General Meeting are disclosed to the market.  

The Group’s external auditor will be invited to attend any Annual General Meeting and will 
be available to answer  questions about the  conduct  of  the audit and the preparation and 
contents of the Audit Report. 

7. 

RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK 

Risk management responsibility 

The Board, through the Audit and Risk Committee, is responsible for ensuring that: 

• 

• 

• 

there are adequate policies for the oversight and management of material business 
risks to the Group; 
there  are  effective  systems  in  place  to  identify,  assess,  monitor  and  manage  the 
risks of the Group and to identify material changes to the Group’s risk profile; and  
arrangements  are  adequate  for  monitoring  compliance  with  laws  and  regulations 
applicable to the Group. 

Risks assessed include:  

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

implementing strategies (strategic risk); 
operations or external events (operational  and investment risk); 
legal and regulatory compliance (legal risk); 
changes in community expectation of corporate behaviour (reputation risk); and 
being unable to fund operations or convert assets into cash (liquidity risk). 

Risk Management Framework 

The  Group  has  implemented  risk  management  and  compliance  frameworks.  These 
frameworks ensure that: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

• 

emphasis is placed on maintaining a strong control environment; 
accountability and delegations of authority are clearly identified; 
risk profiles are in place and regularly reviewed and updated; 
timely  and  accurate  reporting  is  provided  to  Group  senior  management  and 
respective Committees; and 
compliance with the law, contractual obligations and internal policies (including the 
Corporate Code of Conduct) is communicated and demonstrated. 

The  Group’s  senior  management  reports  periodically  to  the  Audit  and  Risk  Committee  on 
the effectiveness of its risk management and compliance frameworks.

Assurance 

In respect of the year ending 30 June 2011 the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 
Officer have made the following certifications to the Board: 

• 

• 

The Group’s Financial Statements and notes applicable thereto represent a true and 
fair view of its financial position and performance and comply with the requirements 
of the Accounting Standards, Corporations Act and Corporations Regulations; and 

The  risk  management  and  internal  compliance  and  control  systems  are  sound, 
appropriate,  operating  efficiently  and  effectively  managing  the  Group’s  material 
business risks. 

Responsible Entity and Trustee Governance 

Magellan  Asset  Management  Limited  (‘MAM’)  is  a  wholly  owned  controlled  entity  of  the 
Company.  It  is  the  holder  of  an  Australian  Financial  Services  Licence  (‘AFSL’)  and  is  the 
Trustee of various registered and unregistered managed investment schemes (collectively, 
the ‘Magellan Funds’). 

There are currently three Directors on the MAM Board: Hamish Douglass, Paul Lewis, and 
Brett  Cairns.  At  least  half  of  the  Board  of  MAM  is  comprised  of  External  Directors,  within 
the meaning of section 601JA of the Corporations Act.  

As the Trustee of each of the Magellan Funds, MAM has a fiduciary obligation to act in the 
best interests of the investors in the Magellan Funds. The Directors of MAM are conscious 
of  their  fiduciary  obligations  to  investors  and  continually  assess  their  decisions  in  light  of 
these obligations. The MAM Board has responsibility for the management of risks that arise 
from  its  duties  as  the  Responsible  Entity  and  Trustee  of  the  Magellan  Funds  and  the 
provision of financial services under its AFSL. 

8. 

REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY 

Remuneration Committee 

ASX  Recommendation  8.1  provides  that  the  Board  should  establish  a  Remuneration 
Committee.  Given  the  size  and  the  nature  of  the  Group  the  Board  has  determined  that  a 
Remuneration  Committee  is  not  warranted,  nor  does  it  have  a  Remuneration  Policy  to 
disclose.    The  Board  considers  the  issues  that  would  otherwise  be  considered  by  a 
Remuneration Committee. 

Remuneration Framework and Structure 

The  remuneration  details  for  Directors  and  senior  executives  are  provided  in  the
