CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S ANNUAL LETTER 

Dear Shareholder, 

I am delighted to write to you in the 2013 Annual Report for Magellan Financial Group Limited 
(“the Group”). 

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS 

The  Group  had  a  successful  year  which  was  characterised  by  strong  growth  in  assets under 
management and the  solid investment performance of our Global Equities and Infrastructure 
Equities  strategies.  This  is  reflected  in  the  Group’s  strong  growth  both  in  earnings  and 
dividends. 

For the year ended 30 June 2013, the Group recorded a net profit after tax of $66.6 million 
($13.7 million for 2012). Fully diluted earnings per share was 40.0 cents per share (8.5 cents 
per share for 2012). The full year net profit included a realised after tax gain on the in-specie 
distribution of the Group’s holding in Magellan Flagship Fund Limited (MFF) of approximately 
$18.1 million. The Group’s underlying net profit after tax, excluding the gain on the in-specie 
distribution,  was  $48.5  million  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2013.  Underlying  fully  diluted 
earnings per share was 29.2 cents per share. 

The Group’s underlying net profit includes: 

• 

 revenues,  excluding  realised  and  unrealised  investment  gains  and  foreign  exchange 
gains/losses,  of  $90.9  million  compared  with  revenues  of  $35.8  million  for  the  prior 
year. These revenues included management and performance fee revenues of  $84.5 
million, an increase of $53.4 million or 172% over the prior year; and 

• 

 total operating expenses of $25.9 million, compared with total operating expenses of 
$16.7 million for the prior year. 

The Group’s total revenue of $120.9 million for the year to 30 June 2013 ($35.8 million for the 
year  to  30  June  2012)  included  realised  and  unrealised  investment  gains  on  financial  assets 
(including the effect of the in-specie distribution) of $28.5 million. 

Future  revenue  growth  will  depend  upon  the  Group’s  average  level  of  funds  under 
management,  and  the  investment  performance  of  our  funds  and  client  mandates.  Reported 
revenues will also include any realised gains or losses on investments.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S ANNUAL LETTER 

The Group is in a strong financial position with an extremely strong balance sheet. As at 30 
June 2013: 

• 

• 

the Group had investment assets  (including the cash and fixed and variable rate debt 
investments) of approximately $153.3 million and shareholders’ funds of $153.0 million; 
and 

the  Group’s  NTA  per  share  (diluted  for  MFG  2016  Options  and  the  conversion  of  the 
Class B Shares) was approximately $1.02 ($0.91 at 30 June 2012, diluted only for the 
conversion  of  the  Class  B  Shares  as  the  MFG  share  price  was  below  the  MFG  2016 
Options exercise price). 

The  Group  completed  the  in-specie  distribution  of  its  investment  in Magellan  Flagship 
Fund Limited (MFF) on 19 February 2013. The in-specie distribution of this holding of 
MFF shares and options reduced the Group’s investment assets by approximately $54.7 
million and fully diluted NTA by $0.28 per share. 

On  31  July  2013,  a  controlled  entity  of  the  Company,  and  a  member  of  the  Group’s  tax 
consolidated  group  was  declared  an  Offshore  Banking  Unit  (OBU).  Under  the  current 
legislation,  assessable  offshore  banking  (OB)  income  derived  from  defined  OB  funds 
management and advisory activities provided to clients outside of Australia and New Zealand, 
net  of  costs,  will  be  subject  to  a  concessional  tax  rate  of  10%.  Revenues  earned  from  non-
resident  clients  that  are  invested  in  the  Group’s  global  equities  strategy  meet  the  current 
definition of assessable OB income. 

The Directors have proposed a final fully franked dividend of 16.5 cents per ordinary share in 
respect  of  the  2013  financial  year,  which  represents  a  final  dividend  of  approximately  $25.2 
million. In accordance with accounting standards, the final dividend has not been provided for 
in  the  30  June  2013  financial  statements.    A  fully  franked  interim  dividend  of  5.0  cents  per 
share was paid in April 2013 following the 31 December 2012 half year results. The Directors 
have affirmed the policy of paying a dividend of 75% to 80% of the net profit after tax (NPAT) 
of  the  Group’s  funds  management  business,  with  the  NPAT  calculation  to  include  any 
crystallised  performance  fees,  which  may  fluctuate  materially  from  period  to  period.  The 
payment of dividends by the Group will be subject to available franking credits and corporate, 
legal and regulatory considerations.

Funds Management Business 
For  the  year  ended  30  June  2013,  the  Group’s  funds  management  business  generated 
revenues  of  approximately  $86.0  million  ($32.7  million  for  2012)  and  had  expenses  of 
approximately $25.2 million ($16.4 million for 2012),  which resulted in a profit before tax of 
$60.8 million ($16.3 million for 2012).  

The  following  table  summarises  the  profitability  of  the  funds management  business  over  the

Management fee and performance fee revenues increased as a result of higher average funds 
under management over the period and strong investment performance. 

Employee expense increased by 53% over the prior year, to $17.4 million. This was due to a 
34% increase in the average number of employees and an increase in remuneration levels. At 
31  July  2013  there  were  61  employees  across  the  Investment,  Distribution,  and  Business 
Support  and  Control  functions.  Based  on  our  current  plans  we  expect  that  in  the  2013/14 
financial year the number of employees will increase modestly above the current level.          

1 Pursuant to the agreement Frontier Partners Inc. is entitled to receive 20% of net management and 
performance fees from institutional mandates with clients in North America.

Based  on  current  plans,  we  expect  total  employee  expenses  to  increase  approximately  40% 
over the last year based on the increase in the average number of employees and increased 
remuneration levels. 

The  funds  management  business  showed  an  improvement  in  the  cost  to  income  (excluding 
performance fees) ratio which decreased from 69.3% to 43.8% for the 2012/13 financial year. 
Employee expenses as a percentage of total expenses remained relatively flat.

We  have  made  a  significant  investment  in  people  and  capability  in  2012/13.  We  added  14 
people during the year with key hires including a Chief Financial Officer and Chief Risk Officer 
which  further  developed  our  financial  risk  and  compliance  teams  and  will  provide  greater 
experience  and  capability  to  support  growth  across  the  Group.  Our  Investment  team  has 
experienced  the  most  growth  with  an  additional  seven  people  added  to  our  research  sector 
teams  and  a  second  person  joining  our  trading  function.  We  are  extremely  pleased  with  the 
quality of the people we have hired and the overall development of the team. 

We have been busy adding capability, along with improving the controls and processes of our 
business.  During  the  year  we  implemented  a  customised  trading  order  management  system 
and  moved  our  key  Australian  managed  funds  to  a  new  custodian.  In  August  we  expect  to 
launch a UCITS fund based out of Ireland initially to service institutional investors interested in 
our Global Equity strategy.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S ANNUAL LETTER 

We note that our retail business has higher fees than our institutional business and our 
infrastructure enhanced beta product has lower fees than other institutional mandates. 

We consider that the theoretical capacity of our global equities and infrastructure strategies is 
approximately US$50 billion. We carefully take into account the investment universe, the 
market capitalisation established for the strategy and liquidity requirements in ascertaining the 
theoretical capacity of each of our strategies. 

We further note that at 31 July 2013 we were managing around US$14.3 billion (A$16.0 
billion) and the above capacity numbers are purely theoretical and should in no way be taken 
as a forecast or indication as to the level of funds under management that Magellan may 
manage in the future. 

Retail Funds Under Management 
At  30  June  2013  the  Group  had  total  retail  funds  under  management  of  $4,542  million.  We 
experienced total net retail inflows of $1,783 million for the 12 months to 30 June 2013. 

The  Magellan  Global  Fund  and  the  Magellan  Infrastructure  Fund  continue  to  enhance  their 
reputations  with  research  houses  and  major  financial  planning  groups  in  Australia  and  New 
Zealand.  We  have  an  outstanding  team  of  business  development  managers,  led  by  Frank 
Casarotti, with offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland.  Both these funds have 
established strong performance records.  

On  1  July  2013  we  launched  three  new  funds  for  Australian  and  New  Zealand  investors. 
Complementing our existing funds, we have launched the Magellan Global Fund (Hedged), a 
currency  hedged  offering  of  our  Global  Equities  strategy,  and  Magellan  Infrastructure  Fund 
(Unhedged). We also launched a new investment product, the Magellan High Conviction Fund. 
This fund is a highly concentrated global equity strategy (8-12 stocks) and will be managed by 
myself,  as  Lead  Portfolio  Manager.  It  is  available  to  financial  advisers  in  Australia  and  New 
Zealand  with  a  focus  on  higher  net  worth  individual  investors.  The  fee  structure  is  a  base 
management  fee  of  1.5%  of  funds  under  management  plus  a  performance  fee  of  10%  of 
returns above 10% per annum, subject to a high water mark. The estimated capacity of this 
product is approximately US$3 billion. We view this new product as highly complementary to 
our  current  investment  offerings  and  importantly  leverages  our  existing  investment  research 
and processes.

Infrastructure Fund over the past 5 years.

Institutional Funds Under Management 

At 30 June 2013 the Group had total institutional funds under management of $10,153 million. 
We experienced institutional net inflows of $6,190 million for the 12 months to 30 June 2013. 
We are pleased with the development of our institutional funds management business. 

In September 2011 we entered into an agreement with Frontier Partners Inc. to distribute our 
global equity and infrastructure capabilities to clients in the North America. Since this time we 
have established meaningful relationships with many potential clients and asset consultants in 
North America and this year won nine global equity mandates and one infrastructure mandate. 
We  also  act  as  sub-adviser  to  two  institutional  mutual funds  in  the United  States  (Frontegra 
MFG Global Equity Fund and Frontegra MFG Infrastructure Fund). These mutual funds are for 
US based investors that would not qualify for our separate account minimum. At 30 June 2013 
we had total funds under management of approximately $2,891 million from clients in North 
America.  We  are  pleased  with  our  relationship  with  Frontier  Partners  and  the  depth  of  the 
prospective client pipeline.  

We have had considerable success in the United Kingdom in the past 12 months. In February 
2013 we announced that we had won a mandate from St James’s Place with an initial funding 
amount of approximately $3.0 billion. At 30 June 2013 this account had grown to $3.7 billion. 
In May 2012, a UK insurance company (in partnership with FTSE and the Group) launched an 
infrastructure fund that replicates the Magellan Core Infrastructure (enhanced beta) strategy. 
The  fund  has  proven  popular  with  small  to  medium  sized  pension  funds  in  the  UK  and  had 
approximately $986 million in investments at 30 June 2013.  

On 8 November 2012, Magellan Asset Management Limited (MAM), a controlled entity of the 
Company,  received  authorisation  from  the  Central  Bank  of  Ireland  to  act  as  a  promoter  and 
investment manager to Irish authorised collective investment schemes. In August 2013, MFG 
Investment Fund plc, a company incorporated in Ireland, sought approval by the Central Bank 
of  Ireland  to  be  authorised  under  the  European  Communities  (Undertakings  for  Collective 
Investment  in  Transferable  Securities  (UCITS))  Regulations,  and  appoint  MAM  as  promoter 
and  investment  manager  to  a  proposed  initial  sub-fund  MFG  Global  Fund.  MFG  Global  Fund 
will offer the Group’s global equities strategy to global institutional clients. At the time of this 
report,  MFGIF  has  not  received  confirmation  of  its  authorisation  from  the  Central  Bank  of 
Ireland. We are encouraged by the client interest for this fund when it is launched.

We are very pleased with the progress we are making in Australia with asset consultants and 
prospective  institutional  clients.  At  30  June  2013  we  had  25  Australian  institutional  clients 
across our business with total funds under management of $2,424 million. 

Infrastructure 

Our  infrastructure  team,  led  by  Gerald  Stack  and  Dennis  Eagar,  have  established  a  strong 
institutional  business  in  Australia,  with  a  developing  presence  in  the  UK  and  North  America. 
Investment  performance  has  been  strong  and  the  infrastructure  team  had  funds  under 
management  of  $2,607  million,  compared  with  $1,649  million  at  30  June  2012.  The 
infrastructure business’ FUM is split approximately 92% institutional and 8% retail at 30 June 
2013. 

It is still 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 delivering returns for the investment 
funds  entrusted  to  us,  whilst  maintaining  the  positive  relationships  we  have  with  asset 
consultants, financial planners and investors in our funds. 

INVESTMENTS IN MAGELLAN’S FUNDS AND PRINCIPAL INVESTMENTS 

At 30 June 2013  the Group had total principal investments of $127.9 million (net of tax and 
settlements  payable),  which  compares  with  total  investment  assets  of  approximately  $131.1 
million at 30 June 2012. The Group completed the in-specie distribution of its holding in MFF 
on  19  February  2013.  The  in-specie  distribution  reduced  the  Group’s  investment  assets  by 
approximately $54.7 million. 

Over  time  we  hope  to  earn  satisfactory  returns  for  shareholders  through  the  sensible 
deployment  of  the  Group’s  capital,  whilst  maintaining  capital  strength  to  underpin  the 
business.  We  intend  for  the  Group  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.  

Our principal investments supplement our  funds management business, including being used 
as seed capital for our funds. 

On 1 July 2013, the Group seeded the Magellan High Conviction Fund with approximately $13 
million by way of an in-specie transfer of a portion of its principal investment portfolio. 

This  conservative  balance  sheet  approach  benefited  the  Group,  particularly  during  the  early 
stages of the funds management business, and we believe will benefit Magellan in the future.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 

1.5  Likely Developments and Expected Result of Operations 
The  Group  will  continue  to pursue  its  financial objectives  which  are  to  increase  the  profitability  of 
the  Group  over  time  by  increasing  the  value  and  performance  of  funds  under  management  and 
seeking  to  grow  the  value  of  the  Group’s  investment  portfolio.  Additional  comments  on  expected 
results of certain operations of the Group are included in this report under the review of operations 
at section 1.4. Refer also to the Chief Executive Officer’s Annual Letter for further information. 

1.6  Significant changes in the State of Affairs 
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group that occurred during the year 
not otherwise disclosed in this report or the financial statements. 

1.7  Events Subsequent to the end of the Financial Year 
On 28 June 2013, the Group launched the following three new funds:  
o 

  Magellan Infrastructure Fund (Unhedged) (MIFU), a unit trust that invests in a focussed  
  global portfolio of listed infrastructure investments; 
  Magellan High Conviction Fund (MHCF), a unit trust that invests in a concentrated  
  portfolio of global equities; and  

o 

    Magellan Global Fund (Hedged) (MGFH), a unit trust that invests in a focussed portfolio      

o 
          of global equities. 

The Company  initially  seeded the new Funds  by way  of a small  cash investment  and an in-specie 
transfer for the Magellan High Conviction Fund, which is discussed further at note 8 d). These funds 
were open to external investors from 1 July 2013 and for the period to 13 August 2013 MIFU, MHCF 
and MGFH have received approximately $1,360,000, $42,241,000 and $686,900 of new fund inflows 
from external investors respectively. On 27 July 2013, the Company invested a further $4,250,000 
into the Magellan High Conviction Fund. 

On  26  July  2013,  ASIC  consented  to  the  repayment  of  the  $1,150,000  loan  the  Company 
provided to its wholly owned entity, Magellan Asset Management Limited (MAM). MAM repaid 
the loan in full on 2 August 2013 (refer to note 14c)i) for further details). 

On 31 July 2013, MAM, a member of the Group’s tax consolidated group was declared an Offshore 
Banking  Unit  (OBU)  by  the  Assistant  Treasurer  of  Australia  in  the  Commonwealth  of  Australia 
Government  Notices  Gazette.  Under  the  current  legislation,  assessable  offshore  banking  (OB) 
income  derived  from  defined  OB  funds  management  and  advisory  activities  provided  to  clients 
outside  of  Australia  and  New  Zealand,  net  of  costs,  will  be  subject  to  a  concessional  tax  rate  of 
10%.  Revenues  earned  from  non-resident  clients  that  are  invested  in  the  Group’s  global  equities 
strategy meet the current definition of assessable OB income. 

On  8  November  2012,  MAM  received  authorisation  from  the  Central  Bank  of  Ireland  to  act  as  a 
promoter  and  investment  manager  to  Irish  authorised  collective  investment  schemes.  In  August 
2013, MFG Investment Fund plc, a company incorporated in Ireland, sought approval by the Central 
Bank  of  Ireland  to  be  authorised  under  the  European  Communities  (Undertakings  for  Collective 
Investment  in  Transferable  Securities  (UCITS))  Regulations,  and  appoint  MAM  as  promoter  and 
investment manager to a proposed initial sub-fund MFG Global Fund. MFG Global Fund will offer the 
Group’s global equities strategy to global institutional clients. At the time of this report, MFGIF has 
not received confirmation of its authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland.

controlling activities of the entity”.  Key Management Personnel of the Group are the Non-executive 
Directors,  Executive  Directors  and  the  Group’s  senior  executives  with  authority  for  the  planning,

The Board does not grant options to Key Management Personnel or the Group’s employees under its 
remuneration policy. 

3.1  Remuneration of Non-executive Directors 
The Board reviews and determines the remuneration of the Non-executive Directors and may utilise 
the services of external advisors. The Board’s remuneration policy is designed to attract and retain 
appropriately experienced, skilled and qualified personnel in order to achieve the Group’s objectives. 
The remuneration of the Non-executive Directors is not linked to the performance or earnings of the 
Group. 

The Non-executive Directors are eligible to participate in the Company’s Share Purchase Plan (SPP) 
which  is  described  later  in  this  report.  Remuneration  for  two  of  the  Non-executive  Directors’ 
remuneration includes share based payment  amounts  that  represent  the  non cash  expense  to the 
Group of providing interest free loans under the SPP. 

The  Company  has  reimbursed  or  borne  expenses  incurred  by  the  non-executive  directors  in  the 
discharge of their duties of $13,344 (June 2012: $776).

The Board’s remuneration policy is designed to attract and retain appropriately experienced, skilled 
and qualified personnel in order to achieve the Group’s objectives.  

Executive Directors

in  respect  of  Mr  Douglass  only,  a  variable  compensation  amount  in  the  form  of  a  short  term

2013 Remuneration Report (Audited) 

3.2  Remuneration of Executive Directors and Other Key Management Personnel  

(continued) 

The  amount  of  fixed  compensation  was  not  dependent  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 amount of variable compensation paid to Mr Douglass in respect of the year ended 
30  June  2013  was  determined  with  reference  to  Mr  Douglass’  achievement  of  agreed  criteria  and 
performance metrics. Mr Mackay was not entitled to receive a short term or long term incentive in 
respect of the year ended 30 June 2013. 

Details of the employment agreements of the Executive Directors are described later in this report. 

Other Key Management Personnel 
The  Other  Key  Management  Personnel’s  remuneration  comprises  fixed  and  variable  remuneration 
that  takes  into  account  the  individual’s  experience,  abilities,  achievements,  contribution  to  the 
Group, and in one case is determined to be at least an agreed fixed percentage of the net revenues 
earned  by  the  Group  in  respect  to  the  investment  strategy  for  which  that  individual  has 
responsibility.  

Other  Key  Management  Personnel’s  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 
variable  compensation  paid  to  one  member  of  Other  Key  Management  Personnel,  is  based  on  a 
fixed percentage of the net revenues earned by the Group in respect to the investment strategy for 
which that employee has responsibility. 

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  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 
closely aligns their interests with the long term interests of shareholders. 

The  Chief  Executive  Officer  determines  the  amount  of  variable  compensation  to  be  paid  to  Other 
Key  Management  Personnel,  taking  into  consideration  the  individual’s  performance,  contribution 
during the year, and where applicable the agreed fixed percentage of the net revenues earned by 
the  Group  in  respect  of  the  investment  strategy  for  which  that  individual  has  responsibility.  The 
variable component of the Other Key Management Personnel is not dependent on the satisfaction of 
performance  conditions  (except  as  noted),  the  Company’s  share  price,  or  dividends  paid  by  the 
Company. 

Other Key Management  Personnel are eligible to participate in the Group’s SPP which is described 
later in this report.  Other Key Management Personnel remuneration includes share based payment 
amounts  that  represent  the  non-cash  expense  to the Group  of providing  interest  free loans under 
the SPP.

o  has undertaken to MAM that for the period up to and including 1 July 2017 neither he nor 
his associates will, within Australia and New Zealand, invest in any outside business which 
in  the  reasonable  opinion  of  MAM  is  primarily  engaged  in  the  business  of  funds 
management, other than an investment in MFG, the Magellan Flagship Fund Limited, MAM 
and related entities, and any managed investment scheme in which MAM acts as trustee or 
responsible entity. The restrictions will cease to apply prior to 1 July 2017, if a third party 
acquires control of MAM or MFG, or the employment contract is terminated for any reason. 
The restrictions do not apply in respect of any investment in: 

(a)  shares in a company; or 
(b)  interests in a managed investment scheme; or 
(c)  other interests in an entity,  

which  represent  less  than  10%  of  the  issued  shares  in  that  company,  interests  in  that 
managed investment scheme or other interests in that other entity respectively. 

In  consideration  for  complying  with  the  above  investment  restriction,  the  Director  will 
receive  an  amount  of  $500,000  paid  on  or  before  15  July  2017.  If  prior  to  1  July  2017,

MAM. MAM may terminate the contract by providing 3 months written notice or providing 
payment in lieu of that notice; 

o  may have his contract terminated by MAM at any time without notice if serious misconduct 
has occurred. Where the contract is terminated for cause, MAM must pay any accrued but 
unpaid amounts  to which the Director is entitled  after setting off for misfeasance for any 
loss suffered by MAM from the acts which caused the termination;

criteria and relative weight distributions:

 2014, 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2016, a maximum short term incentive amount of up to  
 but not exceeding 100% of his fixed compensation for that financial year. The amount of

 Should the Director’s employment cease by reason of the retirement, death, total and  
 permanent disability, ill health or the genuine redundancy, the Board may at its sole  
 discretion allow a short term incentive amount to be paid in whole or in part.

Indemnification and Insurance of Directors and Officers 

4.1  
The  Company  insures the Directors and  Officers  of the  Group  in office  to the extent  permitted by 
law for losses,  liabilities,  costs and  charges in defending any legal proceedings arising out of their 
conduct  while  acting  in  the  capacity  of  Directors  and  Officers  of  the  Group,  other  than  conduct 
involving a wilful breach of duty in relation to the Group. 

During  the  year,  the  Group  paid  insurance  premiums  to  insure  the  Directors  and  Officers  of  the 
Company. The terms of the contract prohibit the disclosure of the premiums paid. 

4.2    Auditor 
Ernst & Young continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporation Act 2001. 

4.3   Non-audit Services 
During the year, Ernst & Young, the Group’s auditor, has performed other services in addition to its 
statutory duties. Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor are set out in note 17 to the 
financial report.  

The Directors, in accordance with advice received from the Audit Committee, are satisfied that the 
provision of those non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with the general 
standard  of  independence  for  auditors  imposed  by  the  Corporations Act 2001.  The  Directors  are 
satisfied, considering the nature and quantum of the non-audit services that the provision of non-
audit  services  by  the  Auditor,  as  set  out  below,  did  not  compromise  the  Auditor  independence 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 
 

all non-audit services have been reviewed by the Audit Committee to ensure that they do not 
impact the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor 
none  of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set 
out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants. 

 

4.4   Auditor’s Independence Declaration 
A  copy  of  the  Auditor’s  Independence  Declaration  as  required  under  section  307C  of  the 
Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 28. 

4.5  Rounding of Amounts 
The  Group  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  the  Australian  Securities  &  Investments  Commission’s  Class 
Order  98/0100  (as  amended)  and  consequently  amounts  in  the  Directors’  Report  have  been 
rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars in accordance with that Class Order, unless otherwise 
indicated. 

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

This  financial  report  is  for  Magellan  Financial  Group  Limited  (the  “Company”)  and  its  controlled 
entities  (the  “Group”)  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2013.  The  report  was  authorised  for  issue  in 
accordance with a resolution of the directors on 16 August 2013. 

The  principal  accounting  policies  adopted  in  the  preparation  of  this  financial  report  are  set  out 
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise 
stated.  

(a)   Basis of Preparation 
This financial report is a general purpose financial report which  is presented in Australian dollars 
and  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  Australian  Accounting 
Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  and  other 
mandatory professional reporting requirements. The Company is a for-profit entity for the purpose 
of preparing this financial report.  

Compliance with IFRS 
The  financial  report  complies  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  (AASB)  and  International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. 

Historical cost convention 
This  financial  report  has  been  prepared  on  a  going  concern  basis  and  under  the  historical  cost 
convention except for assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value. 

New accounting standards 
During  the  year,  the  Group  and  Company  applied  AASB  2011-9:  Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income. This  amended 
AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements  and required items in other comprehensive income 
to  be  presented  in  two  groups,  based  on  whether  they  may  be  recycled  to  profit  or  loss  in  the 
future. This has not affected the measurement of any of the items recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive  income.  None  of  the  other  new  standards  or  amendments  to  standards  that  are 
mandatory for the first time in this financial report affected any of the amounts recognised or the 
disclosures in the current or prior year. 

New accounting standards issued but not yet adopted 
The following accounting standards and interpretations issued or amended but not yet mandatory 
have not been adopted by the Company in the preparation of this financial report. The impact of 
these standards, along with the effective date, is set out below: 

 

AASB  119:  Employee Benefits and  AASB  2011-10  Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (effective 1 July 2013)  
AASB 119 Employee Benefits revised the definition of short-term and long-term employee 
benefits  and  now  requires  all  employee  benefits  to  be  calculated  and  classified  based  on 
when the employee benefit is expected to be taken rather than when it vests. Discounting 
will  apply  to  all  benefits  classified  as  long-term.  During  the  year  the  Group  assessed  this 
standard  and  determined  it  will  have  no  material  impact  on  the  Group  or  Company’s 
financial performance or financial position as at 30 June 2013.

 

AASB  2012-5:  Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory 
Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures (effective 1 July 2013)  
AASB  2012-5  comprises  minor  amendments  to  AASB  1,  101,  116,  132  and  134  and  no 
impact  on the  Group or Company’s financial performance or financial position is expected 
once these amendments are applied.

AASB 2012-2: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures – 
Offsetting  Financial  Assets  and  Financial  Liabilities  and  AASB  2012-3 
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets 
and Financial Liabilities (effective 1 July 2014)  
AASB  2012-2  and  AASB  2012-3  amends  AASB  7  Financial  Instruments:  Disclosures  and 
AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation by  revising and clarifying the criteria where 
financial assets and liabilities can be offset in the financial statements. As at 30 June 2013, 
neither  the  Group  nor  the  Company  has  any  offsetting  arrangements  and  as  a  result  no 
additional disclosures or material impact on the financial performance or financial position 
is expected on adoption of the amendments.  

AASB  9:  Financial Instruments and  AASB  2012-6: Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition 
Disclosures (effective 1 July 2015)  
AASB  9  contains  new  requirements  for  classification,  measurement  and  de-recognition  of 
financial assets and liabilities, replacing the recognition and measurement requirements in 
AASB  139  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement.  Under  the  new 
requirements  the  four  current  categories  of  financial  assets  discussed  at  note  1(i)  will  be 
replaced with two measurement categories: fair value and amortised cost. Financial assets 
will only be able to be measured at amortised cost where very specific conditions are met. 
At  30  June  2013,  no  significant  impact  is  expected  on  adoption  of  this  standard  as  the 
Group  and  Company  currently  classify  its  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  at  either 
fair value or amortised cost and the carrying value of investments measured at amortised 
cost  approximates  fair  value.  However  the  Group  continues  to  evaluate  the  disclosure 
requirements of this standard.  

AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8: Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 (effective 1 July 2013)  
AASB  13  establishes  a  single  source  of  guidance  for  determining  the  fair  value  of  assets 
and liabilities. AASB 13 does not change when the Group or Company is required to use fair 
value  but,  rather,  provides  guidance  on  how  to  determine  fair  value  when  fair  value  is 
required  or  permitted,  and  expands  the  disclosure  requirements  for  assets  and  liabilities 
carried  at  fair  value.  During  the  year,  the  Company  has  undertaken  an  assessment  of  all 
assets and liabilities and determined only cash and cash equivalents are held at fair value. 
No impact is expected on the Company’s financial performance or financial position nor are 
additional disclosures required upon adoption of this Standard as the necessary fair value 
disclosure is currently provided under AASB 7 for these assets.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(a)   Basis of Preparation (continued) 

 

AASB  10:  Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB  11:  Joint Arrangements, 
AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, AASB 127: Separate Financial 
Statements, AASB  128  Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, AASB 
2011-7  Amendments  to  Australia  Accounting  Standards  arising  from  the 
Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards (effective 1 July 2013)  
AASB 10 replaces all guidance on control and consolidation in AASB 127 Consolidated and 
Separate  Financial  Statements,  and  Interpretation  12  Consolidation  –  Special  Purpose 
Entities.  AASB  10  establishes  a  new  control  model  and  broadens  the  situations  when  an 
entity  is  considered  to  be  controlled  by  another  entity  as  it  focuses  on  the  need  to  have 
both  power  and  rights  or  exposure  to  variable  returns.  Control  generally  exists  when  the 
investor can use its power to affect the amount of its returns. AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 
Interests in Joint Ventures  and uses the principle of control  in AASB 10. During the year, 
the  Company  has  undertaken  an  assessment  of  its  investments  and  does  not  anticipate 
AASB 10 or AASB 11 will have a significant impact on its composition.  

In  addition  to  the  above,  an  amendment  to  IFRS  10  was  issued  on  October  2012  which 
provides  an  exemption  from  consolidating  controlled  investments  where  the  Company 
meets  the  definition  of  an  Investment  Entity.  This  permits  the  Investment  Entity  to 
measure its controlled investments in funds at fair value through the profit and loss rather 
than consolidating investments on a line-by-line basis. An ‘investment entity’ is defined as 
an  entity  whose  business  purpose  is  to  invest  funds  solely  for  returns  from  capital 
appreciation and/or investment income. This amendment was released on 14 August 2013 
and the Company will shortly assess whether it qualifies as an Investment Entity.  

AASB 12 requires disclosures relating to the Group and Company’s interests in subsidiaries, 
joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. It introduces new disclosures about 
the  judgements  made  by  management  to  determine  whether  control  exists  and  requires 
summarised  information  about  joint  arrangements,  associates  and  structured  entities  and 
subsidiaries  with  non-controlling  interests.  It  is  not  expected  that  the  new  standard  will 
have a significant impact on the type of information disclosed in relation to the Group and 
Company’s investments. 

(b)   Principles of consolidation 
The consolidated financial report comprises the assets  and liabilities of all controlled entities and 
the  results  of  all  controlled  entities  for  the  year.  The  Company  and  its  controlled  entities  are 
collectively referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.  

Controlled entities 

i) 
Controlled entities (which are listed at note 14 b)) are entities over which the Group has the power 
to  govern  the  financial  and  operating  policies,  generally  accompanying  a  shareholding  or  more 
than  one-half  of  the  voting  rights.  The  existence  and  effect  of  potential  voting  rights  that  are 
currently  exercisable  or  convertible  are  considered  when  assessing  whether  the  Group  controls 
another entity.  Controlled entities are fully consolidated from the date control commenced and de-
consolidated from the date that control ceased.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(b)   Principles of consolidation (continued) 
i) 
Controlled entities (continued) 
All inter-entity balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including unrealised profits 
or losses, have been eliminated in full on consolidation.  

Investments in Associates 

ii) 
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. 

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.   

(c)   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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(d)   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. The chief operating decision maker has been determined as the 
Chief Executive Officer, Mr Hamish Douglass. 

(e)   Foreign Currency Translation 
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 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 Reuters London 4pm 
exchange  rates  at  balance  date.  The  fair  values  of  financial  assets  are  determined  using  the 
Reuters  London  4pm  exchange  rates  at  balance  date.  Foreign  currency  exchange  differences 
relating  to  financial  assets  are  included  in  net  changes  in  fair  value  in  the  Statement  of 
Comprehensive Income. All other foreign currency exchange differences are presented separately 
in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as net gains/losses on foreign exchange. 

(f)   Revenue Recognition 
Management, Administration and Performance Fees 
Management and administration fees arise from providing: 
  investment  management  services  as  investment  manager  and  sub-advisor  to  the  funds  and 

external wholesale client mandates set out at note 6; and 

  Trustee  and  Responsible  Entity  services  where  the  Company  acts  as  Trustee  and  Responsible 

Entity to the funds as set out in note 6.  

Management fee revenue, which is based on a percentage of the portfolio value, is recognised in 
the  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income  as  it  is  earned  and  calculated  in  accordance  with  the 
Investment Management Agreements and Constitutions of the funds as set out in note 6. 

The Group may earn performance fees from its retail funds and from some institutional mandates. 
Where  a  performance  fee  is  applicable  to  an  institutional  client  mandate,  the  base  management 
fee  will  generally  be  lower  than  earned  from  mandates  where  no  performance  fee  applies.   The 
Group’s  entitlement  to  performance  fees  for  any  given  performance  period  is  dependent  on  it 
outperforming certain hurdles, which may be index relative hurdles, return hurdles or a  
combination  of  both.   Performance  fees  are  generally  subject  to  either  a  high  water  mark 
arrangement  or  a  deficit  clause,  which  ensures  that  fees  are  not  earned  more  than  once  on  the 
same performance.  

Performance  fees  are  recognised  in  the  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income  only  when  the 
Group’s entitlement to the fee becomes certain, which is at the end of the relevant performance 
period.   Performance  periods  for  the  Group’s  performance  fee  arrangements  range  from  three 
months to three years. 

Refer to note 6 for further details on the management, administration fees and performance fees.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(f)   Revenue Recognition (continued) 
Consulting Fees 
Consulting fee income is recognised when the Group is entitled to it, which is determined by the 
terms and conditions of the contractual arrangement. 

Interest Income 
Interest income is recognised on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method.  

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

Net gain/loss on sale 
The gain or loss on disposal of assets is calculated as the difference between the  carrying amount 
of  the  asset  at  the  date  of  disposal  and  the  net  proceeds  from  disposal  and  is  included  in  the 
Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year of disposal.  

If revenue is not received at balance date, it is included in the Statement of Financial Position as a 
receivable and carried at amortised cost. 

 Expenses 

(g)  
Expenses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis.  
Directors’  fees  (including  superannuation)  and  related  employment  taxes  are  included  as  an 
expense  in  the  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income  as  incurred.  Information  regarding  the 
Directors’ remuneration is included in note 14 d)v). 

 Income Tax 

(h)  
The income tax expense/benefit is the tax payable/receivable on the current year’s taxable income 
based  on  the  current  income  tax  rate  adjusted  by  changes  in  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities 
attributable  to  temporary  differences  between  the  tax  bases  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their 
carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses. Taxable profit differs from 
net profit as reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as items of income or expense 
are  taxable  or  deductible  in  years  other  than  the  current  year  and  in  addition  some  items  are 
never taxable or deductible.  

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognised  for  all  deductible  temporary  differences  and 
unused tax losses carried forward to the extent that it is probable that future taxable amounts will 
be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused 
tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.  

The  carrying  amount  of  deferred  income  tax  assets  is  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  and 
recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against 
which the asset can be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each 
reporting date and are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits 
will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. 

Current tax and deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected 
to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax 
laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of balance date.

 Income Tax (continued) 

Tax Consolidation - Australia 
Magellan Financial Group Limited (MFG) and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities formed 
a  tax  consolidated  group  for  the  purpose  the  tax  consolidation  legislation,  which  it  formed  on  1 
July 2007. MFG is the head entity of the tax consolidated group. 

Under  the  tax  consolidation  legislation,  the  head  entity  and  each  controlled  entity  continues  to 
account for its own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each 
entity  in  the  tax  consolidated  group  continues  to  be  a  standalone  taxpayer  in  its  own  right.  In 
addition,  MFG  also  recognised  the  current  tax  assets  or  liabilities  and  the  deferred  tax  assets 
arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax 
consolidated group.   

On forming a the tax consolidation group, each entity in the tax consolidated group entered into a 
tax sharing agreement, which limits  the joint  and  several liability  of the wholly owned entities in 
the case of a default of the head entity, MFG. The Company has also entered into a tax funding 
agreement  under  which  the  wholly  owned  entities  fully  compensate  MFG  for  any  current  tax 
payable  assumed  and  are  compensated  by  MFG  for  any  current  tax  receivable  and  deferred  tax 
assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to MFG under the  
tax  consolidation  legislation.  The  funding  amount  is  determined  by  reference  to  the  amounts 
recognised  in  the  financial  report.  Assets  and  liabilities  arising  under  the  tax  funding  agreement 
with  the  tax  consolidated  entities  are  recognised  as  related  party  receivables  or  payables  and 
these amounts are due upon demand from MFG.  

MFG may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax 
instalments and the funding amounts are also recognised as related party receivables or payables. 
Any  difference between  the amounts  assumed  and amounts  receivable or payable under the tax 
funding  agreement  are  recognised  as  a  contribution  to  (or  distribution  from)  wholly  owned  tax 
consolidated entities. 

(i)   Goods and Services Tax (GST) 
Revenue,  expenses  and  assets  (with  the  exception  of  receivables)  are  recognised  net  of  the 
amount of GST, except when GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable 
from  the  taxation  authority,  in  which  case  the  GST  is  recognised  as  part  of  the  cost  of  that 
purchase or as an expense.  Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST. The net amount 
of  GST  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  taxation  authority  is  included  in  the  Statement  of 
Financial Position as receivable or payable.  

Cashflows  are  included  in  the  Statement  of  Cashflows  on  a  gross  basis.  The  GST  component  of 
cash flows arising from financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation 
authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Financial Assets and Liabilities 

(j) 
The  Group  classifies  its  financial  assets  in  the  following  categories:  financial  assets  at  fair  value 
through  profit  or  loss,  loans  and  receivables,  held-to-maturity  investments  and  available-for-sale 
financial  assets.  The  classification  depends  on  the  purpose  for  which  financial  assets  were 
acquired.  Designation  is  re-evaluated  at  each  financial  year  end,  but  there  are  restrictions  on 
reclassifying to other categories. Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortised 
cost. Classification of financial assets  and  liabilities depends on the purpose for which the assets 
and liabilities were acquired.  The Group’s classifications are set out below:

Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities 
Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  derecognised  when  the  Group  no  longer  controls  the 
contractual  rights  that  comprise  the  financial  instrument  which  is  normally  the  case  when  the 
instrument is sold. 

(k)   Cash and Cash Equivalents 
Cash includes cash at bank and deposits. 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. Term deposits with a term of 90 days or less from the date 
of inception are classified as cash equivalents. Refer also to note 1(n)(iii). 

Receivables  

(l)  
Receivables  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost 
using the effective interest method less any allowance for uncollectible amounts. In the case of the 
Group  this  is  the  original  invoice  amount  rendered  for  management,  administration  and 
performance  fees,  less  a  provision  for  any  uncollected  debt.    Collectability  of  receivables  is 
reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis,  and  bad  debts  are  written  off  by  reducing  the  amount  of  the 
receivable  in  the  Statement  of  Financial  Position.  A  specific  provision  is  made  for  doubtful  debts 
where evidence exists that the amount will not be collected. 

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

(m)   Derivatives  
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.  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. 

 (n)  Financial Assets 
The Company’s financial assets comprise and are classified as follows:

Held-for-Trading Financial Assets are short-term trading securities which are carried at fair value.  
Changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.  

Available-for-sale Financial Assets 

i) 
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designed in the financial asset 
category  or  not  classified  in  any  other  financial  asset  category.  Investments  are  designated  as 
available-for-sale  financial  assets  if  they  do  not  have  fixed  maturities,  fixed  or  determinable 
payments  and  management  intends  to  hold  them  for  the  medium-to-long  term.    These 
investments  are  carried  at  fair  value.  Loans  to/from  controlled  entities  and  investments  in 
controlled  entities  are  also  classified  as  available-for-sale  financial  assets.    Changes  in  the  fair 
value  of  available-for-sale  financial  assets  are  recognised  in  the  available-for-sale  reserve  in  the 
Statement  of  the  Financial  Position  and  included  in  other  comprehensive  income  until  the 
investment is disposed or impaired. When available-for-sale financial assets are sold or impaired,  
cumulative  gains  recognised  in  the  available-for-sale  reserve  are  recognised  in  the  statement  of 
comprehensive  income.  Cumulative  losses  are  recognised  in  the  available-for-sale  reserve  to  the 
extent that they reverse previously recorded gains, and when previously recorded gains have been 
reversed  in  full,  any  impairment  loss  below  original  cost  (when  significant  and  prolonged)  is 
recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.  

In assessing whether an available-for-sale 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. 

Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets unless management intends 
to dispose of the investments within 12 months of balance date.

Financial Assets (continued) 

Purchases and Sales of Financial Assets 

ii) 
All purchases and sales of financial assets  are recognised on the trade date, being the date that 
the Group or Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets 
are purchases or sales under contracts that require delivery of the assets or settlement within the 
period  generally  established  by  regulation  or  convention  in  the  market  place.  Payments  and 
receipts relating to the purchase and sale of investment securities are classified as cash flows from 
operating  activities,  as  movements  in  the  fair  value  of  these  securities  represent  the  Company’s 
main income generating activity. 

(iii)  Loans and Receivable 
Term deposits with a term greater than 90 days from the date of inception are classified as loans 
and  receivables.  The  deposits  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  and  then  carried  at  amortised 
cost using the effective interest rate method. They are classified as current assets where the term 
to maturity  from balance date is less than 12 months and non-current  assets  where the term to 
maturity is greater than 12 months. Changes in the fair value of investments are recognised in the 
Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income.  When  investments  are  disposed, the  net  gain  and  loss  on 
sale is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on the date of sale. 

Impairment of Assets 

(o) 
All non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be  recoverable.  Where  an  indicator  or  objective 
evidence  of  impairment  exists,  an  estimate  of  the  asset’s  recoverable  amount  is  made.  An 
impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the amount by which 
the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of 
an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.  

 Property, Plant and Equipment 

(p) 
Property,  plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and 
impairment.  Historical  cost  includes  expenditure  that  is  directly  attributable  to  its  acquisition. 
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset.  

Depreciation and Amortisation 
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 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each balance date. An asset’s carrying 
amount  is  written  down  to  recoverable  amount  where  an  indicator  of  impairment  or  objective 
evidence  exists.  An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  in  the  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income 
where the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated 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.  Gains  and  losses  on  disposals  are  determined  by 
comparing  proceeds  with  the  carrying  amount.  These  are  included  in  the  Statement  of 
Comprehensive Income.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Payables  

(q) 
Payables  comprise  trade  creditors  and  accrued  expenses  owing  by  the  Group  at  balance  date 
which are unpaid. Trade creditors represent liabilities for goods and services received by the Group 
prior  to  the  end  of  the  year  end  that  remain  unpaid  at  balance  date.    They  are  unsecured  and 
usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Payables are recognised at amortised cost at the point 
where the Group  becomes obliged to make payments  in respect  of the purchase of these goods 
and services.   

A  dividend  payable  to  shareholders  of  the  Group  is  recognised  for  the  amount  of  any  dividend 
declared, determined or publicly recommended by the Directors on or before balance date but not 
paid at balance date. 

Employee Expenses and Entitlements 

(r)  
Wages, Salaries, Annual Leave and Long Service Leave 
Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries  (including  non-monetary  benefits)  and  annual  leave  are 
recognised in payables within accrued employee entitlements and are measured at the amounts to 
be expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.   

The  employee  entitlement  liability  expected  to  be  settled  within  12  months  from  balance  date  is 
recognised in current liabilities. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the 
leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable. Employee benefit on-costs are included 
in accrued employee entitlements in the Statement of Financial Position and employee costs in the 
Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income  when  the  employee  entitlements  to  which  they  relate  are 
recognised in liabilities. 

Long Service Leave 
Liabilities  for  long  service  leave  are  recognised  when  employees  reach  a  qualifying  period  of 
continuous service and are measured at the amount expected to be settled within 12 months from 
balance date. Any amount which is expected to be payable after 12 months from balance date is 
classified  as  a  non-current  liability  and  measured  as  the  present  value  of  expected  future 
payments.    Consideration  is  given  to  expected  future  wage  and  salary  levels,  experience  of 
employee departures and periods of service and discounted using market yields at balance date on 
national government bonds with terms to maturity that match, a closely as possible, the estimated 
future cash outflows.  

Bonus Plan 
A liability and an expense for bonuses are recognised where the Group is contractually obliged or 
where there is past practice that has created a constructive obligation. 

(s)   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 are provided in note 12. 

Leases  

(t)  
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits  of ownership of the  asset 
are classified as operating leases. Net rental payments for operating leases are recognised as an 
expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the period of the 
lease.  

(u)   Contributed Equity  
The  Group’s  ordinary  shares,  MFG  2016  Options  and  Class  B  Shares  are  classified  as  equity  and 
recognised  at  the  value  of  consideration  received  by  the  Group.  Incremental  costs  directly 
attributable to the issue of new shares are recognised in equity as a deduction, net of tax. 

(v)   Earnings Per Share 
Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  as  net  profit/(loss)  after  income  tax  expense  for  the  year 
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue. Diluted earnings per share is 
calculated by adjusting the basic  earnings  per share to take into account  the effect  of any  costs 
associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional 
ordinary units that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential 
ordinary shares. Refer to note 3 for further details. 

(w)   Rounding of Amounts 
The Group is of a kind referred to in the Australian Securities & Investments Commission’s Class 
Order 98/0100 (as amended) and amounts in the financial statements  have been rounded off to 
the nearest thousand dollars in accordance with that Class Order, or in certain cases, the nearest 
dollar. 

(x)   Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements  
The preparation of the financial statements requires the Directors to make judgements, estimates 
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. The Directors base 
their judgements and estimates on historical experience and various other factors they believe to 
be reasonable under the circumstances, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, the 
result  of  which  forms  the  basis  of  the  carrying  values  of  assets  and  liabilities.  As  such,  actual 
results could differ from those estimates. The  

The  main  area  where  a  higher  degree  of  judgement  or  complexity  arises  or  areas  where 
assumptions and estimates are significant to the Group and Company’s financial statements is the 
valuation  of  unlisted  investments.  The  valuation  techniques  used,  which  involves  estimates,  are 
discussed in detail at note 8. Apart from the above, none of the other Group and Company’s assets 
and liabilities are subject to significant judgment or complexity primarily due to the timing of when 
revenues or expenses are accrued and recognised.

(A)  The MFG 2016 Options (refer to note 11 b)) are considered to be potential ordinary shares for the purposes of the 
diluted earnings per share calculation and have been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share to the 
extent  they  are  dilutive.  For  the  year  ended  30  June  2013,  the  MFG  share  price  was  below  the  MFG  2016  Options 
exercise price. 

(B)    The  Class  B  Shares  (refer  to  note  11  c))  are  considered  to  be  potential  ordinary  shares  for  the  purposes  of  the 
diluted earnings per share calculation and have been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share to the 
extent they are dilutive. The equivalent number of Class B Shares for the purposes of calculating the diluted earnings per 
share has been determined as the weighted average number of ordinary shares that the Class B Shares would convert to 
assuming the 7,882,483 MFG 2016 Options had been exercised at 1 July 2012, and applying a conversion factor of 0.06 
up  to  19  February  2013,  the  date  of  the  in-specie  distribution  to  shareholders,  and  a  conversion  factor  of  0.0637028

Dividend proposed 

ii) 
Since the end of the year, the Directors have declared a final fully franked dividend of 16.5 cents 
per ordinary share in respect of the year ended 30 June 2013 (June 2012: 3.0 cents per share), 
which represents approximately $25,209,000.  

In-specie distribution 

iii)  
On  14  December  2012,  the  Company  announced  an  in-specie  distribution  to  MFG  shareholders 
which involved distributing MFG’s holdings of shares and options in Magellan Flagship Fund Limited 
(MFF). This distribution, which was approved by shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting 
on  5  February  2013,  involved  distributing  50,109,307  MFF  shares  and  16,627,507  MFF  options, 
approximately  3.29  MFF  shares  and  1.09  MFF  options  for  every  10  MFG  ordinary  shares  held  by 
shareholders  on  the  record  date  of  13  February  2013.  The  distribution  was  completed  on  19 
February 2013. The capital reduction amount was approximately $54,749,000 equating to $0.3589 
per MFG ordinary share, which was determined using the average of the volume weighted average 
price  (VWAP)  for  MFF  shares  of  $1.0176  and  MFF  options of  $0.2210  for  the  five  trading  days 
immediately preceding the distribution date. The in-specie distribution of the MFF shares and MFF 
options  to  MFG  shareholders  resulted  in  a  realised  gain  of  approximately  $25,778,000  before 
income tax.  

Imputation credits 

iv) 
The balance of the imputation credit account at the end of the year adjusted for imputation credits 
that will arise from the payment of the amount of the provision for income tax and from the 
receipt of dividends recognised as receivables at balance date.

In-specie transfer to Magellan High Conviction Fund  

d)  
At 30 June 2013, the Group and Company held an investment  in  Magellan High  Conviction Fund 
(MHCF) of $200,000. On 1 July 2013, the Company seeded a further investment in MHCF by way 
of  an  in-specie  transfer of  a  portion of  its  investment  in  listed  shares  (set  out  in  note  8  b))  and 
associated  dividend  receivables,  and  cash  into  MHCF.  Had  the  in-specie  transfer  occurred  on  30 
June  2013,  the  in-specie  seed  investment  would  have  resulted  in  a  decrease  in  investments  in 
listed shares by approximately $12,915,000 and an equal increase in investments in unlisted funds 
– MHCF.  

Fair Value Disclosures 

e)  
The  Group  classifies the fair value measurements  of financial assets  and financial liabilities using 
the  three  level  fair  value  hierarchy  set  out  below,  to  reflect  the  source  of  valuation  inputs  used 
when determining the fair value: 
  Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The fair 
value of these investments is based on the closing bid price for the security as quoted 
on the relevant exchange; 

  Level  2:  valuation  techniques  using  market  observable  inputs  either  directly  or  indirectly.  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 fund. 

  Level 3: valuation techniques using non-market observable inputs. The Group invests in unlisted 
trusts  which  typically  invest  in  unlisted  entities.  The  Group  has  an  investment  in  an 
unlisted company. The fair value is based on a Director’s valuation.

(i)  Unlisted funds – Magellan and Frontegra MFG 
The fair value of investments in the unlisted funds operated by the Group and the Frontegra MFG 
funds is determined with reference to the redemption price 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.  

(ii)  Unlisted funds – Other 
Investments in unlisted funds – other comprise investments in private equity funds. As there is no 
active  market  for  these  units,  the  fair  value  is  a  Directors’  valuation  that  is  determined  with 
reference to the unit price of the fund. A discount is applied to the unit price, as determined by the 
fund’s  investment  manager,  to  reflect  the  illiquidity  of  the  units  and  estimated  impact  of  the 
investee  companies  periodic  re-financing  requirements.    The  Directors  believe  the  estimated  fair 
value,  based on other unlisted funds’  valuations  undertaken by the  investment  manager and  the 
discount assumptions applied, are reasonable and appropriate. 

iii)  Unlisted shares - Other 
Investments  in  unlisted  shares  –  other  comprises  a  shareholding  in  a  unlisted  funds 
management business. As there is no active market for the shares, the  Directors’ have valued 
this  investment  at  cost  after  giving  consideration  to  the  most  current  unaudited  net  asset 
position of the Company. 

There were no transfers in or out of level 3 during the year and a reconciliation of the fair value

Contributed Equity (continued) 

Terms and conditions 
Ordinary shares 

c) 
i) 
Fully paid ordinary shares entitle the holder to receive dividends declared and proceeds on winding 
up  the  Company  in  proportion  to  the  number  of  and  amounts  paid  up  on  shares  held.  Ordinary 
shares entitle their holder to one vote, either in person, or by proxy, at a meeting of the Company. 

MFG 2016 Options 

ii) 
MFG 2016 Options (‘options’) expire on 30 June 2016 but can be exercised during any two month 
period  commencing  two  business  days  following  the  announcement  of  the  Group’s  full  and  half 
year  results  in  each  year  prior  to  the  expiry  date,  except  for  the  final  exercise  period  which 
commences on the date that is two business days after the release of the results for the half year 
to 31 December 2015 and ends on 30 June 2016. Upon exercise of the Option, the option holder is 
issued one new ordinary share in the Company.  

The  in-specie  distribution  on  19  February  2013  (refer  to  note  4  iii)  for  further  details)  had  the 
effect  of  reducing  the  exercise  price  of  the  MFG  2016  Options  by  $0.3589  per  MFG  Option. 
Accordingly,  the  adjusted  exercise  price  of  each  option  at  30  June  2013  is  $2.6411  (June  2012: 
$3.00).  

Options  are  not  entitled  to  dividends  or  distributions.  Ordinary  shares  issued  on  exercise  of  the 
options rank equally with all other ordinary shares from the date of issue. An ordinary share issued 
on exercise of an option is only entitled to receive a dividend or distribution where the option was 
exercised  and  the  ordinary  share  is  issued  on  or  before  the  record  date  for  that  distribution. 
Ordinary  shares  issued  pursuant  to  the  exercise  of  an  option  will  not  be  issued  until  after  the 
record date for any dividend or distribution payable in respect of the half year period immediately 
prior to the exercise period during which that option was exercised. The holder of an option may 
only participate in new issues of the Company if the holder exercises that option and becomes the 
holder of ordinary shares on or prior to the record date for the new issue of ordinary shares. 

Class B shares 

iii) 
The Class B Shares were issued to Mr Hamish Douglass with certain service conditions which were 
satisfied  on  1  July  2012.  Incorporating  the  effect  of  the  in-specie  distribution  made  to  the 
Company’s shareholders on 19 February 2013, the Class B Shares will convert into the number of 
ordinary shares equal to 0.0637028 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 conversion of the 
Class B Shares will occur on the first business day 21 November 2016. The maximum number of 
ordinary shares that will be issued on conversion of all Class B Shares is 10,829,476. Prior to the 
in-specie distribution, the conversion factor was 0.06 times and the maximum number of ordinary 
shares that would have been issued on conversion was 10,200,000. 

Mr Douglass holds 10,200,000 Class B Shares which at 30 June 2013 were entitled to convert into 
9,732,697 ordinary shares of the Company on 21 November 2016. 

Based on the Company’s ordinary shares on issue and assuming all options are fully exercised as 
at  30  June  2013,  the  10,200,000  Class  B  Shares  would  be  entitled  to  convert  to  10,227,770 
ordinary  shares  being  equal  to  0.0637028  times  160,554,481  securities  at  30  June  2013 
(comprising 152,782,876 ordinary shares on issue and 7,771,605 unexercised options).

Terms and conditions (continued) 

c) 
iii)       Class B shares (continued) 
At 30 June 2012, the 10,200,000 Class B Shares would be entitled to convert to 9,153,500 
ordinary shares being equal to 0.06 times 152,558,341 ordinary shares on issue. The Class B 
shares have no entitlement to receive dividends and until the Class B Shares are converted into 
ordinary shares they confer no rights to participate in any bonus issue or subscribe for new 
securities in the Company unless the Directors determine otherwise in accordance with the Terms 
of Issue of the Class B Shares. 

Share Purchase Plan (SPP) 

12. 
The Group has put in place a Share Purchase Plan (the ‘Plan’ or ‘SPP’) for its employees and Non-
executive Directors (‘Participants’). The Plan provides 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.  At 30 June 2013, 4,767,558 ordinary shares were held by the 
Participants under the SPP (June 2012: 6,714,210).   

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 offer is made; and 

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

 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 

 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 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 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 is 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.

Share Purchase Plan (SPP) (continued) 

Participants are required to apply an amount equal to 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. Although employees are not entitled to repay their loan early, the Board may 
from time to time permit an early repayment under certain circumstances. 

Loans to Participants under the Plan are secured on the shares issued to that Participant. The 
shares are not 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 the amount of the dividends are 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 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 the participant 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: 

Current: due within 1 year 
Non-current: due later than 1 year and within 10 years

are  past  due  or  considered  impaired  as  the  SPP  provides  that  any  shortfall  between  the  loan

Capital and Financial Risk Management  

Financial Risk Management 

a)  
The activities of the Group and the Company  expose it to various types of risks, both direct and 
indirectly: price risk, credit risk, currency risk and liquidity risk.  

Exposure to risk occurs through the impact on the Group’s and the Company’s net 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  foreign  exchange  rate  movements  on  the  Group’s  funds  under 
management  and  the  consequent  impact  on  the  management  and  performance  fees 
earned. 

 

The Group’s investment assets comprise strategic investments in: 
 

unlisted funds of which MAM, a wholly owned entity of the Group, is the Responsible Entity 
and Investment Manager; 
a direct portfolio of investments; and 
two  unlisted  United  States  institutional  mutual  funds,  being  the  Frontegra  MFG  funds,  of 
which MAM is the Investment Manager.  

 


Capital and Financial Risk Management  

Capital Management 

b)  
The Group and the Company’s approach to capital management remained unchanged during the 
year, which was to ensure that it continues as a going concern, it has sufficient cash flow to meet 
its  operating  requirements,  it  is  able  to  support  the  payment  of  dividends  to  shareholders  in 
accordance with the Group’s dividend policy, and it retains the flexibility to retain capital if required 
for  future  business  expansion.  The  Group  and  the  Company’s  capital  consists  entirely  of 
shareholder equity. The Group and the Company has no external net borrowings at 30 June 2013. 

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

A  controlled  entity  of  the  Company,  Magellan  Asset  Management  Limited  (MAM)  is  subject  to 
regulatory  financial  requirements  by  virtue  of  it  holding  an  Australian  Financial  Services  License 
(AFSL).  These  regulatory  requirements,  which  are  set  out  by  the  Australian  Securities  and 
Investment  Commission  (ASIC),  were  amended  for  Responsible  Entities  of  Registered  Managed 
Investment Schemes from 1 November 2012. From this date to the period ended 30 June 2013, 
MAM maintained required net tangible assets of $5,000,000 and satisfied the liquidity requirements 
of cash and cash equivalents of at least $2,500,000 (equal to 50% of required net tangible assets) 
and liquid assets of at least $5,000,000 (equal to the amount of required net tangible assets). The 
Directors of MAM determined on 2 November 2012 that notwithstanding the liquidity requirements 
of the AFSL, MAM would hold both a greater amount of cash and cash equivalents, being at least 
$5,000,000 and a greater amount of liquid assets, being at least $10,000,000. From 1 July 2013, 
the  required  net  tangible  assets,  will  be  determined  as  10%  of  MAM’s  average  revenues  in 
accordance with ASIC Regulatory Guide 166. 

Liquidity Risk  

c)  
Liquidity  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  Group  and  the  Company  will  encounter  difficulty  in  meeting 
obligations  associated  with  financial  liabilities  on  the  due  date  or  will  be  forced  to  sell  financial 
assets at a value which is less than they are worth. 

The Group and the Company manage liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash reserves to cover 
its liabilities. On 20 February 2013, the Board of the Company determined that the Company would 
maintain a minimum amount  of $10,000,000 in cash and  equivalents  and  a minimum amount  of 
liquid  assets  equal  to  0.5%  of  the  Group’s  funds  under  management  subject  to  a  maximum 
amount of $100 million. The amounts held by the Company are in addition to the cash and cash 
equivalent and liquid asset amounts maintained by its controlled entity, MAM. 

As at  30 June 2013, the Group  had  an obligation to settle trade creditors and other payables of 
$17,842,000  (June  2012:  $4,465,000)  within  30  days.   The  Group  had  cash  (including  term 
deposits  maturing  within  30  days)  of  $38,096,000  (June  2012:  $1,052,000)  and  a  further 
$35,181,000  (June  2012:  $9,638,000)  of  receivables  and  $14,685,000  of  term  deposits  which 
mature greater than 90 days (June 2012: $30,565,000) to cover these liabilities. In addition, the 
Group reported current assets of $89,743,000 and current liabilities of $34,681,000 resulting in a 
net  current  asset  surplus  of  $55,062,000.  Accordingly  the  Group  has  sufficient  liquid  funds  and 
current assets to meet its current liabilities.

c)  

Liquidity Risk (continued) 

Maturities of financial liabilities 
At  30  June  2013,  the  Group’s  financial  liabilities  comprise  trade  creditors  and  payables  which 
mature in 1 year or less (June 2012: 1 year or less).  

Price Risk  

d) 
Price risk is the risk that the value of the Group and Company’s direct and indirect investments in 
equities will increase or decrease as a result of changes in market prices, caused by factors specific 
to the individual stock or the market as a whole.  Price risk exposure arises from the Group’s and 
the  Company’s  investments  in  listed  equities,  unlisted  Magellan  funds  and  the  Frontegra  MFG 
funds, and from the Group’s entitlement to investment management and performance fees on its 
funds under management.  

All  of  the  Group  and  Company’s  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 +40% and -21% (in AUD) 
and +31% and -29% (in USD). The past 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  occur within the portfolio over a 12 
month period. 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 and Company’s own investments 
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  Group  and  the  Company  hold  an  investment  in  an  unlisted  fund  that  invests  in  unlisted 
equities.   The  fair  value  of  this  fund  is  determined  by  a  Director’s  valuation.  The  underlying 
values  of  the  unlisted  equities  are  determined  by  the  fund’s  investment  manager  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 fund. 

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 and the Company recognises impairment losses on available-for-sale investments in 

accordance with the accounting policy disclosed in note 1(n).  For the purposes of the

iv)  sensitivity disclosed above, it has been assumed that a 5% change in market prices would

Impact arising on entitlements to management and performance fees 

Management fees 
The  Group  earns  management  fees  on  funds  under  management,  which  are  based  on  a 
percentage of the value of the  clients’ and  the  funds’  portfolios.   Management  fees  earned from 
funds  under  management  will  be  impacted  by  movements  in  the  underlying  prices  in  local 
currency, exchange rate movements, or a combination of both. Each incremental increase of 5% 
in the average value of  funds  under management  of  the Group  during the years  ended 30  June 
2013 and 30 June 2012 would have increased the base management fees recognised in net profit 
and equity as follows:

Assumptions and explanatory notes 
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. 
changes in market prices may impact the inflows to, and outflows from, the Group’s funds 
under management. This impact has not been estimated. 

ii) 

Performance fees 
The Group may earn performance fees from its funds and from some institutional client mandates 
to which it provides investment management services.  Where a performance fee is applicable to 
an institutional client mandate, the base management fee will generally be lower than that earned 
from  mandates  where  no  performance  fee  applies.   The  Company’s  entitlement  to  performance 
fees  for  any  given  performance  period  is  dependent  on  it  outperforming  certain  hurdles,  which 
may  be  index  relative  hurdles,  return  hurdles  or a  combination  of  both.   Performance  fees  are 
generally subject to either a high water mark arrangement or a deficit clause, which ensures that 
fees  are  not  earned  more  than  once  on  the  same  performance.  These  fees  also  accrue  over 
different  calculation  periods,  ranging  from  three  months  to  three  years.   The  fees  recognised  in 
follows:

Currency Risk 

e)  
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 has direct 
exposure to currency risk on foreign currency denominated: 
- 
- 
- 

investments designated as available for sale (refer note 8); 
cash balances and term deposits (refer note 15 c) and 8 a); and 
payables and receivables, such as income receivable from foreign investments, outstanding 
settlements on purchase or sale of foreign investments and management and performance 
fees invoiced in foreign currency (refer note 7 and 10). 

At 30 June 2013 had the Australian dollar strengthened by 10% relative to each currency to which 
the  Group  and  Company  had  significant  exposure,  with  all  other  variables  held  constant,  the 
impact on the Group and Company’s equity and net profit would have been:

A  decrease  of  10%  in  the  Australian  dollar  relative  to  each  currency  would  have  an  opposite 
impact.  

The  Group  and  Company  also  has  indirect  exposure  to  foreign  currency  via  its  investments  in 
unlisted  funds.  The  unlisted  funds  are  denominated  in  Australian  dollars  and  the  Frontegra  MFG 
funds are US dollar denominated.    The  underlying  investment  portfolios  of these funds  comprise 
entities  predominantly denominated in foreign currencies,  and with extensive operating exposure 
to  global  currency  fluctuations  which  will  drive  portfolio  values.    Changes  in  their  fair  value  are 
therefore  influenced  by  movements  in  currencies.  The  sensitivity  analysis  disclosed  above 
disregards the impact on the foreign currency movement on the underlying portfolios.  

The  Group’s  management  and  performance  fees  are  also  indirectly  exposed  to  fluctuations  in 
foreign  currency  where  the  management  and  performance  fees  earned  from  funds  under 
management  are  subject  to  adverse  movements  in  the  exchange  rate  of  the  Australian  dollar 
relative to foreign currencies. For the year ended 30 June 2013, approximately 93% of the Group’s 
management,  administration  and  performance  fee  revenues  were  indirectly  exposed  to 
movements in the Australian dollar relative to other currencies (June 2012: 82%).

Interest Rate Risk 

f) 
Interest  rate  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  fair  value  of  a  financial  instrument  will  fluctuate  due  to 
changes in market interest rates. The Group and Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates 
primarily to cash and cash equivalents and also term deposits. Substantially all of the Group and 
Company’s  holdings  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents  are  held  with  major  Australian  banks.    Term 
deposits are of short duration and their fair value would not be materially affected by changes in 
interest rates.   

Sensitivity analysis  
Based on the cash and cash equivalents held by the Group and the Company at balance date, the 
sensitivity on the Group and the Company’s net profit and equity of a decrease of 50 basis points 
in floating interest rates, assuming all other variable remain constant is:

Increase in net profit and equity 

        Consolidated 

       Company

$ ’000

2013 
$ ’000 
126 

2012 
$ ’000 
44 

An increase of 50 basis points in floating rate interest rates would have an equal but opposite 
effect on interest income and net profit. 

Credit Risk 

g)  
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 when valued at fair 
value.  The  maximum exposure to  credit risk  at balance date  is therefore  the  carrying  amount  of 
financial assets recognised in the Statement of Financial Position.  

The Group and Company minimises concentrations of credit risk by ensuring cash balances, term 
deposits and the listed subordinated notes are held with and managed by counterparties that are 
reputable financial intermediaries with acceptable credit ratings determined by a recognised rating 
agency.  In  addition,  credit  limits  are  reviewed  by  management  and  may  be  updated  throughout 
the  year.  During  the  year  ended  30  June  2013,  the  Group  and  Company  held  cash  and  term 
deposits with Australian banks and the credit quality of these counterparties at 30 June 2013 are 
rated by Standard & Poor’s as being AA-, and by Moody’s as being Aa2 (AA and Aa2 respectively at 
30 June 2012).  

The  Group  and  Company  also  manages  credit  risk  by  regularly  monitoring  loans  and  receivable 
balances throughout the year. A provision for doubtful debts is made where collection is deemed 
uncertain. At 30 June 2013, the provision for doubtful debts was nil (June 2012: nil). 

At  30  June  2013  the  Group  and  the  Company  also  had  credit  exposure  to  the  participants  with 
loans  under  the  share  purchase  plan.  At  30  June  2013,  the  outstanding  balance  on  the  loans 
totalled  $4,324,000  (June  2012:  $6,319,000).  MFG  shares  valued  at  $46,000,000  (June  2012: 
$14,400,000)  were  held  as  security  for  these  loans.  The  loans  were  made  to  the  Group’s 
employees and certain  Non-executive Directors  of the Company  on a full recourse basis.  Further 
information is provided in note 12.

i)   The Company provided an interest-free subordinated loan of $1,150,000 to its wholly owned 
subsidiary, MAM, on 29 November 2006.  Under the terms of MAM’s Australian Financial Services 
Licence  (AFSL),  the  loan  cannot  be  repaid  without  the  prior  consent  of  the  Australian  Securities 
and  Investments  Commission  (ASIC).    At  30  June  2013,  the  loan  amount  drawn  down  was 
$1,150,000 (June  2012:  $1,150,000).  On 26 July  2013,  ASIC consented to the repayment of the 
subordinated loan and MAM has since repaid the loan in full to the Company on 2 August 2013. 

ii)  During  the  year,  MAM’s  income  tax  liabilities  of  $19,900,000  (June  2012:  $5,770,000)  were 
assumed by MFG, the head entity of the tax consolidated group.  Payments totalling $12,716,000 
(June  2012:  $4,090,000)  were  received  by  MFG  and  MCP  from  MAM  under  the  tax  funding 
agreement during the year and $9,165,000 was receivable by the Company from MAM in respect 
of amounts arising from the transfer of MAM’s tax liability to the Company (June 2012: $1,980,000 
payable). Refer to note 1(h) for further details on the tax consolidated group. 

iii)  Dividends  amounting  to  $31,274,000  representing  $2.502  per  share  were  paid  by  MAM  to

Events Subsequent to Balance Date 

On 28 June 2013, the Group launched the following three new funds:  
o 

  Magellan Infrastructure Fund (Unhedged) (MIFU), a unit trust that invests in a focussed  
  global portfolio of listed infrastructure investments; 
  Magellan High Conviction Fund (MHCF), a unit trust that invests in a concentrated  
  portfolio of global equities; and  

o 

    Magellan Global Fund (Hedged) (MGFH), a unit trust that invests in a focussed portfolio      

o 
          of global equities. 

The Company initially seeded the new Funds by way of a small cash investment and an in-specie 
transfer  for  the  Magellan  High  Conviction  Fund,  which  is  discussed  further  at  note  8  d).  These 
funds  were  open  to  external  investors  from  1  July  2013  and  for  the  period  to  13  August  2013 
MIFU,  MHCF  and  MGFH  have  received  approximately  $1,360,000,  $42,241,000  and  $686,900  of 
new fund inflows from external investors respectively. On 27 July 2013, the Company invested a 
further $4,250,000 into the Magellan High Conviction Fund. 

On  26  July  2013,  ASIC  consented  to  the  repayment  of  the  $1,150,000  loan  the  Company 
provided  to  its  wholly  owned  entity,  Magellan  Asset  Management  Limited  (MAM).  MAM 
repaid the loan in full on 2 August 2013 (refer to note 14c)i) for further details). 

On 31 July 2013, MAM, a member of the Group’s tax consolidated group was declared an Offshore 
Banking  Unit  (OBU)  by  the  Assistant  Treasurer  of  Australia  in  the  Commonwealth  of  Australia 
Government  Notices  Gazette.  Under  the  current  legislation,  assessable  offshore  banking  (OB) 
income  derived  from  defined  OB  funds  management  and  advisory  activities  provided  to  clients 
outside  of  Australia  and  New  Zealand,  net  of  costs,  will  be  subject  to  a  concessional  tax  rate  of 
10%.  Revenues earned from non-resident  clients  that  are invested  in the Group’s global equities 
strategy meet the current definition of assessable OB income. 

On  8  November  2012,  MAM  received  authorisation  from  the  Central  Bank  of  Ireland  to  act  as  a 
promoter  and  investment  manager  to  Irish  authorised  collective  investment  schemes.  In  August 
2013,  MFG  Investment  Fund  plc,  a  company  incorporated  in  Ireland,  sought  approval  by  the 
Central  Bank  of  Ireland  to  be  authorised  under  the  European  Communities  (Undertakings  for 
Collective  Investment  in  Transferable  Securities  (UCITS))  Regulations,  and  appoint  MAM  as 
promoter  and  investment  manager  to  a  proposed  initial  sub-fund  MFG  Global  Fund.  MFG  Global 
Fund will offer the Group’s global equities strategy to global institutional clients. At the time of this 
report, MFGIF has not received confirmation of its authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland. 

Other  than  the  above,  the  Directors  are  not  aware  of  any  other  matter  or  circumstance  not 
otherwise  dealt  with  in  this  report  that  has  significantly  affected  or  may  significantly  affect  the 
operations  of  the  Group,  the  result  of  those  operations  or  the  state  of  affairs  of  the  Group  in 
subsequent financial years.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

Overview 

Magellan Financial Group Limited (MFG or Group) (ASX:MFG) is listed on the Australian Securities 
Exchange (ASX). The Group, as a listed entity, must comply with the Corporations Act 2001(Cth) 
(the Act), the ASX Listing Rules and other Australian and international laws.  ASX Listing Rules 
require the Group to report against the current version of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s 
Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (ASX Recommendations). Where, after 
due deliberation, the Group's corporate governance practices differs from an ASX Corporate 
Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendation, the Group will set 
out the reasons for the difference. The website contains copies of charters and policies mentioned 
in this document.   

Where one of MFG’s controlled entities have adopted their own policies and practices to deal with 
specific matters relevant to their business, they align to this Statement.  

1. 
Governance Structures and Processes  
1.1  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 has approved a 
formal Charter which contains the Board’s role, powers, duties and functions. The Charter is 
reviewed regularly, or whenever significant change occurs, to remain relevant to the Group and its 
activities. The Board has retained all authority required by law and has specifically reserved the 
following powers: 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Appointment and removal of the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and the Company 
Secretary; 
Establishing Committees of the Board and, in relation to each Committee, appointing the 
members and the Chairman, setting Committee charters and delegating authority to 
relevant Committees;  
Assessing the performance of the Board and individual Directors and determining the 
remuneration of Directors and Committee members; 
Assessing the Group’s overall performance and approving the reports provided to 
shareholders;  
Providing strategic advice and direction to the Group’s senior management; and 
Approval and oversight of the risk management and compliance framework and the 
effective design and operation of its relevant controls, polices and processes. 

1.2  Board Composition 
The Group’s Constitution provides that there must be a minimum of three and a maximum of ten 
Directors. The Board currently comprises five (5) Directors, three (3) of whom are independent 
non-executive Directors. The Board actively seeks to maintain a balance of skills, knowledge and 
experience to direct and oversee the activities of the Group. Details of each Director’s background 
date of appointment and attendance at Board meetings are set out in the Directors’ Report. 
Director remuneration is set out in the Remuneration Report. The Board considers that collectively 
the Directors have an appropriate range of skills, experience and expertise to understand and 
competently deal with current and emerging business issues and effectively monitor and review 
the performance of the Group and exercise independent judgment.

MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

Chairman 

1.3 
The Chairman of the Board, Mr Chris Mackay, is an executive Director and a resident Australian 
citizen. The Board has a different view to ASX Recommendation 2.4 of the need for the Chair to be 
independent and considers that the Chairman’s experience and proven leadership is beneficial as 
the primary link between management and the Board. More information about the Chairman’s 
responsibilities is contained in the Group’s Board Charter.   

1.4  Director Independence 
The Board comprises a majority of independent non-executive Directors. An independent non-
executive Director is a non-executive Director who is independent of the Group and free of 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. In making 
this determination, the Board has reviewed and assessed previous and current relationships. The 
Board believes that Directors have sufficient time to discharge their responsibilities and individual 
Director’s other commitments are shown in the Directors’ Report. 

1.5  Board Audit and Risk Committee  
The Board has established a Board Audit and Risk Committee. The Committee has been 
established under a separate Charter which is available on the Group’s website. The Charter 
contains the delegated role, responsibilities, functions and powers of the Committee and is 
reviewed regularly, or whenever significant change occurs.  The Committee allows the Board to 
devote and focus time and effort that may not be possible at a wider Board meeting. The Board 
appointed a majority of non-executive Directors to the Committee with due regard to the collective 
and individual skills, experience and expertise of the Directors. The Board is aware that ASX 
Recommendation 4.2 requests all members of the Committee be non-executive but is of the 
opinion that the appointment of one executive director facilitates transparent and direct 
accountability to the Committee and the Board.   

The Chairman of the Committee is an independent, non-executive Director who is a resident of 
Australia and not the Chairman of the Board.   The role of the Committee is to oversee the Group’s 
responsibilities relating to financial reporting, relevant statutory requirements, internal controls, 
risk management functions and audit. Full details are in the Committee Charter which is available 
on the Group’s website. The Committee will meet at minimum, four times each year.  The 
Chairman of the Committee will report to the Board in respect of each Committee meeting. During 
the year, in accordance with the Committee’s Charter, the Committee conducts an appraisal of the 
performance of the Committee’s members and the achievement of the Committee’s objectives. 

1.6  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 Chairman of the Board. Where the Chairman 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 Chairman of the Board Audit and Risk Committee.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

1.7  Board Meetings 
The Chairman, in conjunction with the Company Secretary, sets the agenda for the meeting. Any 
Director may request an item to be raised in addition to the standing items which typically include 
minutes and matters arising, periodic reviews, standing reports and specific proposals. Board 
papers are sent in combinations of hard and electronic copy. At each meeting there is an 
opportunity for the Board to meet and discuss matters without the executive directors and 
members of management present. Directors are free to request and access any information they 
feel is necessary to take fully-informed, risk-aware decisions. 

1.8  Appointment, Induction, Succession Planning and Retirement of Directors and 

Executives 

The Board regularly reviews its skills, expertise and composition. The Board recognises ASX 
Recommendation 2.4 on creating a Nominations Committee. After due consideration the Board has 
retained both the responsibility for succession planning and renewal as well as any related 
decisions.  The Board is aware of the importance of Board renewal and takes each Director’s 
tenure into account when reviewing its mix of skills, previous and current relationships, 
competencies, time commitments, expertise and experience. The Board has decided that a 
Director must retire from office no later than the later of the third annual general meeting of the 
Group or three years following the Director’s last election or appointment.  

Upon appointment to the Board, Directors are required to sign a letter which sets out the terms of 
and conditions of their appointment. Directors are provided with induction training similar to that 
provided to senior executives. Directors are expected to maintain the skills and knowledge 
required to discharge their obligations. The Group has an induction program in place for all of its 
new employees, including senior executives. As part of this induction program, new senior 
executives will receive briefings on the Group’s business and its policies and procedures. These 
briefings will focus on the core governance and corporate structures as well as key operational, 
regulatory, risk and compliance issues that are of relevance to the Group. 

Performance Evaluation of Directors and Senior Executives 

1.9 
Under the Board’s 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 as well as the collective and individual performance of 
the Board and each Director. The review is conducted through a combination of written and verbal 
communications and is discussed by the whole Board. An individual Director’s performance is 
considered when the Board determines whether or not to support the Director for re-election. The 
Chief Executive Officer undertakes annual performance reviews of each member of the senior 
executive team.  

Fair and Responsible Decision-Making 
Conflicts of Interest 

2. 
2.1 
The Board has adopted procedures to recognise, manage and monitor actual or perceived conflicts 
of interest. Directors are required to disclose events or circumstances that may affect, or may be 
perceived to affect, their ability to exercise independent judgement. Where a Director has an 
actual or perceived conflict of interest, they must leave the meeting and take no part in any 
discussion or decision-making regarding that matter.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

Code of Conduct  

2.2 
The Group has a Corporate Code of Conduct that applies to all Directors and employees of the 
Group.  The Board expects all Directors and employees to comply with the Code and failure to 
comply with the Code is a serious matter and will be investigated.  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 
Explain 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 website. 

Trading Policy 

2.3 
The Group has a Trading Policy that sets out the circumstances in which the Group’s Directors and 
employees may trade in the Group’s securities. The Policy states the Board’s expected behaviours 
for Directors and employees who wish to trade in the Group’s securities. The Trading Policy 
prohibits Directors from dealing when they are in possession of price-sensitive information that is 
not generally available to the market and also places restrictions and notification requirements, 
including the imposition of blackout periods, trading windows and the need to obtain pre-trade 
approval.  The Trading Policy aligns to the ASX Listing Rules and relevant guidelines. A copy of the 
Group’s Trading Policy has been lodged with the Australian Securities Exchange(ASX) and is 
available on the Group’s website.  

2.4  Diversity 
The Group recognises the value of attracting and retaining employees with different backgrounds, 
knowledge, experience and abilities. The Group’s policy is to recruit and manage on the basis of 
competence and performance regardless of age, race, gender, nationality, beliefs, sexuality, 
physical ability or cultural background. The Board annually reviews the measurable objectives it 
has set for to achieve improvement in the diversity of employees. The measurable objectives are 
consistent with those identified last year to allow for accurate and cumulative measurement.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

5.2  Risk Management System (continued) 
The Board has a strong, documented commitment to corporate governance that goes beyond the 
absolute legal requirements to always act in the best interests of investors. The Board has a 
proven and clearly communicated commitment to a risk aware and compliant culture. The Board 
expects all staff to actively identify and report risks. 

The Board reviews and approves the Risk Management Statement annually or whenever significant 
change occurs. The Risk Management Statement is a clear, effective and robust structure with 
defined, transparent and consistent lines of responsibility. Identified senior executives are 
accountable and responsible for designing and consistently implementing and maintaining policies, 
processes and systems for managing risk across the Group, consistent with risk capacity and risk 
appetite. Notwithstanding the above, the Group recognises that risk events and incidents will take 
place that realise impacts. In those circumstances, the Group will take aggressive and 
comprehensive action to address the incidents, and establish new processes and controls to 
minimise the chance of reoccurrence.
