This annual report marks the tenth for the Magellan Financial Group and covers another successful year of client focus and overall business development. In short, our fully diluted earnings per share for the financial year have risen by 13.5% to $1.155 and our fully franked dividends per share for the year totalled $0.893, representing an increase of 19%. At 30 June 2016 we employed 101 very talented people, up from 91 at the same time last year. Our funds under management at 30 June 2016 stood at $40.5 billion, an 11% increase over the prior year. As in previous years, this report contains a detailed letter from our Chief Executive Officer, Hamish Douglass, together with the group’s financial statements, both of which we would encourage you to read carefully. Somehow the last ten years simultaneously feels like a long time and no time at all. When we look back we do so with a great sense of pride as the firm that was started in a serviced office has now grown into a meaningful investment management firm serving a global array of retail and institutional clients and partners. That sense of pride stems from the collective efforts of all at Magellan who have contributed over the years, from the early few at foundation to the most recent joiners, and the fact we have a common purpose in mind - to build a firm that we all believe in. We greatly value our culture and every individual’s contribution. Above all we value the respect and trust our clients and partners have shown us. We are very conscious that this trust must always be deserved, as undeserved trust cannot be sustained. Trust founded on a flimsy or false foundation will always eventually crumble. Although much has changed over the last ten years, many things remain the same. We are unwavering in our want to act rationally and fairly. We remain committed to reducing bureaucratic folly and always looking to simplify. We fully recognise that we will inevitably get some things wrong and that it is important to use these times to learn. We believe in the adage that a mistake is only an error, but it becomes a mistake when you fail to correct it. When we look back we also notice that an important element in our development has been to ask ourselves honestly: what are we solving for? Be it in our business processes, investment processes or in our product development, we have come to understand the power of truly trying to solve the problem and the significant value that a diversity of thought brings to that process. Being in any business is inherently tricky. Market dynamics, competition, business cycles, government interaction and a myriad of other factors all combine to produce a complex system. Furthermore, within this system, the participants adapt to change as they interact and the emergent behaviour can sometimes be difficult to understand let alone predict. In our opinion, the best way for our business to navigate these waters is to remain focused on our clients and their advisors. It is in our shareholders’ interests that our clients are our top priority. We remain committed to being clear about what we are aiming to achieve for our clients and equally committed to doing what we say we will do. We firmly believe our journey has only just begun and we are all looking forward to the next ten years, but what will they bring? We obviously cannot know with any degree of certainty. We nevertheless think deeply about what might happen and the things we could do as we grow. We are a believer that opportunity comes to the prepared mind. 3 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED However, in reality, as John Lennon so beautifully put it, “life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans”, and as the last ten years have shown us, that is indeed the most exciting part. Our Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday 13 October 2016 and as usual we welcome any and all discussion. We hope to see you there. Brett Cairns Executive Chairman 11 August 2016 4 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED Chief Executive Officer’s Annual Letter for the year ended 30 June 2016 Dear Shareholder, I am delighted to write to you as a shareholder in Magellan Financial Group Limited (“the Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2016. OVERVIEW OF RESULTS The Group had a successful year which was characterised by continued strong growth in funds under management (which increased by 11% from $36.4 billion to $40.5 billion for the 12 months to 30 June 2016) and strong growth both in earnings and dividends. For the year ended 30 June 2016:     Average funds under management increased by 27% to $39.4 billion ($31.0 billion in 2015); the Group’s net operating profit after tax increased by 14% to $198.4 million ($174.3 million in 2015); fully diluted earnings per share increased by 13% to 115.5 cents (101.8 cents in 2015); and dividends increased by 19% to 89.3 cents fully franked (74.9 cents in 2015) The Directors have declared a final fully franked dividend of 38.0 cents per ordinary share in respect of the 2016 financial year (37.8 cents in 2015). A fully franked interim dividend of 51.3 cents per share was paid in March 2016 (37.1 cents in March 2015). The final dividend will be paid on 26 August 2016. The Directors have confirmed 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 calculation to include any crystallised performance fees. Performance fees 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. The following table summarises the Group’s profitability over the past two financial years: For the year ended 30 June 2016, the Group’s Other Revenue was $19.2 million ($30.6 million in 2015). The Other Revenue includes interest income, dividend and distribution income, net gains on sale of financial assets and net foreign exchange gains. The Group’s Other Revenue in 2016 primarily comprised distributions from the Group’s holdings in Magellan funds of $11.9 million and an accounting gain for the period for which the Magellan Global Equities Fund was treated as an associate of $4.0 million. In 2015 the Group’s Other Revenue included distributions from the Group’s holdings in Magellan funds of $13.8 million and gains of $10.4 million from the sale of holdings in the Group’s funds to seed the $50 million investment in the Magellan Global Equities Fund. Investors should note that the Group’s Other Revenue may fluctuate significantly from year to year and will primarily depend upon the level of distributions paid and any gains or losses on sales of the Group’s underlying investments in its funds. 5 30 June30 JuneChange20162015$'000$'000%Management, performance and services fees314,643254,28124%Other revenue19,16230,631-37%Revenue333,805284,91217%Expenses(74,104)(54,603)36%Profit before tax expense259,701230,30913%Tax expense(61,344)(56,014)10%Profit after tax expense198,357174,29514%Effective tax rate23.6%24.3%Key StatisticsEarnings per share (cents per share)123.5109.213%Diluted earnings per share (cents per share)115.5101.813%Dividends (interim and final) (cents per share, fully franked)89.374.919% MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED As at 30 June 2016, the Group is in a strong financial position:  the Group had investment assets (cash and cash equivalents, financial assets and investment in associate) of $328.3 million (30 June 2015: $283.6 million) and shareholders’ funds of $355.4 million (30 June 2015: $303.4 million); and the Group’s NTA per share diluted for the conversion of the Class B Shares was $2.07 (30 June 2015: $1.78 also diluted for MFG 2016 Options).  Funds Management Business For the year ended 30 June 2016, the Group’s funds management business generated revenues of $315.3 million ($255.9 million for 2015) and had expenses of $71.5 million ($52.6 million for 2015), which resulted in a profit before tax of $243.8 million ($203.3 million for 2015). Revenue included performance fees of $48.0 million ($43.4 million for 2015). Performance fees fluctuate significantly from period to period. The highlights for our funds management business include:  deepening penetration of the Global Equities and Global Listed Infrastructure strategies with retail Australian investors, advisers and brokers. As at 30 June 2016, total retail funds under management was $12.0 billion ($9.8 billion at 30 June 2015) and retail inflows over the 12 months were $2.3 billion ($1.4 billion for the 12 months to 30 June 2015):  The retail component of the Global Equities strategy1 received $2.0 billion of net retail inflows over the period ($1.3 billion to 30 June 2015), bringing total retail funds under management for the strategy to approximately $10.9 billion ($9.1 billion at 30 June 2015). Retail net inflows continue to benefit from the strong support of the ASX quoted versions of our Global Equities strategy, Magellan Global Equities Fund/Magellan Global Equities Fund (Currency Hedged), and the new arrangements with AMP and BT/Westpac who have funds on their respective platforms replicating the Magellan Global Fund; The retail component of the Global Listed Infrastructure strategy2 received $365 million of net retail inflows over the period ($197 million to 30 June 2015) bringing total retail funds under management for the strategy to approximately $1.15 billion ($0.7 billion at 30 June 2015). Retail net inflows reflect the outstanding investment performance of the Global Listed Infrastructure strategy. In May 2016, Colonial First State launched a replica version of the Magellan Infrastructure Fund on its platform.   continued solid support from institutional clients with $1.8 billion of net institutional inflows over the period ($3.8 billion to 30 June 2015). Total institutional funds under management was $28.4 billion from more than 110 clients3 ($26.6 billion from more than 100 clients at 30 June 2015). The following table summarises the profitability of the funds management business over the past two financial years: ________________________ (1) The retail component of the Global Equities strategy includes Magellan Global Fund (retail portion), Magellan High Conviction Fund, Magellan Global Fund (Hedged) (retail portion), Magellan Global Equities Fund (quoted fund), Magellan Global Equities Fund (Currency Hedged) (quoted fund) & retail separately managed accounts for the Global Equity strategy. (2) The retail component of the Global Listed Infrastructure strategy includes Magellan Infrastructure Fund (retail portion), Magellan Infrastructure Fund (Unhedged) (retail portion) and retail separately managed accounts for the Global Listed Infrastructure strategy. (3) The number of clients includes separately managed accounts and institutional investors in local and offshore vehicles. (4) Pursuant to the agreement, Frontier Partners is entitled to receive 25% of net management fees from Frontier MFG Funds and 20% of management fees from all institutional mandate clients in the US and agreed institutional mandate clients in Canada.

Average funds under management benefited from the lower average Australian dollar over the period. Overall the funds management business operated efficiently with a cost to income ratio (excluding performance fees) of 26.7% in 2016 compared with 24.8% in 2015. Expenses increased by 36% to $71.5 million. The increase in expenses included:       a 35% increase in employee expense over the prior corresponding period to $42.0 million. This is in line with the guidance provided with the interim results in February. The increase was due to the cost of new employees hired during the year, the full year cost of hires made in 2014/15 and increased remuneration; a 31% increase in US marketing fees to $7.2 million due to higher management and performance fees from US clients; a 19% increase in fund administration and operational costs to $7.1 million, which compares with a 27% increase in average funds under management over the period; a 57% increase in IT costs to $3.6 million primarily related to the implementation of new IT projects; an increase in occupancy costs of 50% to $1.3 million. The Group relocated its Sydney head office in June 2016 and incurred one-off pre-tax costs of approximately $0.5 million. We are budgeting for occupancy costs of approximately $3.2 million in 2016/17; and an expense of $2.1 million for US state taxes and withholding taxes. This includes a provision of $1.3 million for prior years taxes that have not been provided for previously. We have continued to make investments in people and capability. During the period, we made 10 net hires which included hiring:      A Chief Risk Officer; A Chief Operating Officer for North America; A senior Portfolio Manager in our Infrastructure Team; Senior key account managers in New South Wales and North America; and An infrastructure investment specialist focussed on institutional clients. In the 2016/17 financial year we are planning to invest further in people and capability. Whilst we have largely completed the build out of the Investment team we are planning to make additional hires in many areas of the business including in Distribution (both in Australia and the United States), Compliance, Trading, Finance, Operations and Administration. We are also planning to establish a public policy institute based in Australia and we plan to hire a team of 3 people in 2016/17 (including an Executive Director to head the institute). We expect Group employee expenses to increase by approximately 15-18% in the 2016/17 financial year which reflects the annualised cost of employees hired in 2015/16, remuneration increases and planned hires.

This compares with funds under management of $36.4 billion at 30 June 2015. The increase in funds under management was driven by net inflows of $4.1 billion, investment performance of $0.8 billion less cash distributions (net of reinvestment) of approximately $0.8 billion. The following table sets out the composition of funds under management: It should be noted that our retail business has higher fees than our institutional business and our infrastructure enhanced beta product has lower fees than other institutional mandates. As we have indicated previously, we consider that the theoretical capacity of our Global Equities and Global Listed Infrastructure strategies is approximately US$50 billion in total. 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. This theoretical capacity is not static and should be approximately indexed to changes in the values of world equity markets over time. Broadly this theoretical capacity should be indexed for world market movements from 1 July 2013, subject to the impact of price movements on our investment universe. We have been actively working on three new related global equity products that we intend to seed then launch progressively over the next 12 to 18 months. These products will be primarily targeted towards international institutional investors. It will take time for each of these products to build investment track records and it is unlikely that any of these products will attract meaningful funds under management for at least 3 to 5 years. Any success with these new products would be incremental to the theoretical capacity of the Group’s existing products. At 30 June 2016, the Group was managing $40.5 billion (equating to approximately US$30.2 billion). It should be noted that 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 the Group may have in the future. Retail Funds Under Management At 30 June 2016, the Group had total retail funds under management of $12.0 billion. We experienced total net retail inflows of $2.3 billion for the 12 months to 30 June 2016, compared with $1.4 billion for the previous financial year. The Group experienced average monthly retail net inflows of approximately $195 million over the 12 months to 30 June 2016, compared with $120 million over the previous corresponding period. __________________________ (7) Calculated using management fees (excluding services and performance fees) for the relevant period divided by the average of month end FUM over the same period. 8 $million30 June30 June30 June201620152014Retail12,0419,8096,693Institutional - Australia/New Zealand4,4153,8712,889 - North America9,1458,4624,690 - Rest of World14,89414,2399,24128,45426,57216,820Total FUM40,49536,38123,513PercentageRetail30%27%28%Institutional - Australia/New Zealand11%11%12% - North America23%23%20% - Rest of World37%39%40%70%73%72%Total FUM100%100%100%FUM subject to Performance Fees (%)38%37%37%Institutional FUM (%) - Active85%85%81% - Enhanced Beta15%15%19%Breakdown of FUM (A$ million) - Global Equities33,723 31,015 19,443 - Global Listed Infrastructure 6,772 5,366 4,070 Average Base Management fee (bps) per annumexcluding Performance Fees(7)66 66 67 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED The increase in retail net inflows over the past 12 months is largely attributable to:    strong support from our new arrangements with AMP and BT/Westpac in addition to our longstanding relationship with Colonial First State (operated by Commonwealth Bank). As at 30 June 2016 funds under management in our replica versions of the Magellan Global Fund available at Colonial First State, AMP and BT/Westpac was $2.0 billion ($1.5 billion at 30 June 2015). The Magellan Global Equity strategy was represented in over 120 model portfolios across the AMP Group, BT/Westpac and the Commonwealth Bank at 30 June 2016; our ASX quoted funds, the Magellan Global Equities Fund and Magellan Global Equities Fund (Currency Hedged) combined had strong net inflows of $385 million over the 12 months to 30 June 2016 and average monthly net inflows of approximately $32 million. The combined funds under management from these two funds was $623 million as at 31 July 2016 and the combined number of unitholders was over 12,000; and an increase in retail inflows into our Global Listed Infrastructure strategy. The total net retail inflows into our Infrastructure strategy were $365 million over the 12 months to 30 June 2016 ($197 million to 30 June 2015). We believe we are developing a robust retail business in Australia and New Zealand focused on global equities and global infrastructure that should benefit from the secular trends of compulsory superannuation over the years ahead. We have:         relationships with over 500 independent financial advice firms(8); strong relationships and extensive representation with 4 of the top 6 major institutionally aligned advice firms (Commonwealth Bank, BT/Westpac, AMP and IOOF). Collectively, these firms have approximately 6,800 aligned advisers; an ASX quoted version and unlisted version of the Magellan Global Fund. The funds are available as currency hedged and currency unhedged; an ASX quoted version of the Magellan Infrastructure Fund, the Magellan Infrastructure Fund (Currency Hedged), which was seeded on 19 July 2016 and commenced trading on 22 July 2016; separate versions of the Magellan Global Fund available at Commonwealth Bank, BT/Westpac and AMP. Each of these funds will have strong model portfolio representation across these groups; a replica version of the Magellan Infrastructure Fund and a currency hedged version of the Magellan Global Fund launched at Colonial First State in May 2016; developed strong relationships with each of the key research firms and have strong ratings from Zenith, Lonsec and Morningstar for both our Global Equity and Global Listed Infrastructure strategies; and a highly experienced Australian and New Zealand relationship focussed Distribution team with 11 account managers and offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Auckland. The following table sets out the investment performances of the Magellan Global Fund, the Magellan Infrastructure Fund and the Magellan High Conviction strategy since their inception: Extremely pleasing is the performance of our Global Listed Infrastructure strategy. The Magellan Infrastructure Fund has outperformed its benchmark by 12.6% in the 12 months to 30 June 2016 and continued outperformance over 3 and 5 years. The Global Equity strategy performed in line with the market over the past 12 months and its longer term performance remains materially above its benchmark and above our objective of 9% per annum net of fees over the full investment cycle. _________________________ (8) Includes Dealer Groups that have more than $200,000 funds under management with the Group.

Annualised performance is denoted with “p.a.” for the relevant period. (10) Inception date for the Magellan Global Fund and Magellan Infrastructure Fund is 1 July 2007 and the inception date for Magellan High Conviction Strategy is 1 January 2013. (11) The Global Listed Infrastructure benchmark is comprised of the following: from inception to 31 December 2014 the benchmark is UBS Developed Infrastructure and Utilities NTR Index (AUD Hedged) and from 1 January 2015 onwards, the benchmark is the S&P Global Infrastructure NTR Index (AUD Hedged). 9 Investment Performance for the period to 30 June 2016(9)1 Year3 Years5 YearsSinceInception (10)%% p.a.% p.a.% p.a.Magellan Global Fund-0.113.119.010.6 MSCI World NTR Index ($A)0.414.614.74.0Magellan Infrastructure Fund17.817.315.48.6 Global Listed Infrastructure Benchmark ($A)(11)5.212.111.15.3Magellan High Conviction Strategy-1.314.8-20.9 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED Given our medium to long term focus, however, it is not unreasonable to expect some periods when the funds will not outperform or will lag their benchmarks. Further, given our focus on high-quality/low volatility investments in our Global Equity strategy and our tight definition of what constitutes infrastructure, it can also reasonably be expected that returns may underperform broader based benchmarks in strongly rising markets due to the cap on volatility and our definition of infrastructure. Over the cycle, however, we believe the strategies will produce an appropriate risk adjusted performance while maintaining our focus on capital preservation, particularly in adverse market conditions. These are key tenets of the Group’s approach that we believe are well understood by the adviser community and our clients. The retail component of the Global Equity strategy(12) had funds under management of approximately $10.9 billion at 30 June 2016. The retail Global Equity strategy experienced total retail net inflows of $2.0 billion and average monthly retail net inflows of approximately $164 million over the 12 months to 30 June 2016. This compares with the retail Global Equity strategy’s total net inflows of $1.3 billion and the average monthly retail net inflows of $104 million over the 12 months to 30 June 2015.

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 unforeseen event. The Group’s Principal Investments portfolio has returned pre-tax 1.0%, 13.9% and 20.5% per annum over the last 1, 3 and 5 years respectively. Excluding the effect of the Group’s investment in Magellan Flagship Fund, which was disposed of by way of in-specie distribution to shareholders in February 2013, the portfolio returned pre-tax 14.6% per annum over the period 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2016.

The report details the remuneration arrangements for the Non-Executive Directors and Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group. KMP are defined as those persons and corporate entities having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling activities of the Group, directly or indirectly. In the 2016 financial year, the KMP for the Group included the Executive Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Investment Officer, and the Group’s senior executives as set out below. The Remuneration Report has been prepared and audited against the disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. Remuneration Philosophy and Principles The Group’s remuneration philosophy is centred on fair compensation for performance and contribution that achieves business outcomes. It aims to balance short term and long term incentives appropriately, including encouraging broad based employee ownership in the Group. Importantly, incentives motivate each employee to achieve agreed business objectives which align to long term business outcomes. The key drivers of the Group’s remuneration philosophy and principles are:     Promoting staff behaviour that is in the best interest of clients; Attracting and retaining outstanding staff; Building a culture that rewards performance, maintaining the Group’s reputation and mitigating risk; and Encouraging staff to think like long term owners of the Group. Broadly the Group’s remuneration arrangements for employees comprise the following components:   A fixed remuneration amount (inclusive of superannuation); A variable incentive which is determined annually. Variable incentives are discretionary (except where noted below) and may be in the range of 0 to 100% of the fixed remuneration amount or higher in exceptional circumstances. The variable incentive is paid partly as a current year cash bonus and partly as a conditional deferred cash bonus amount; and An offer of voluntary participation in the Group’s Share Purchase Plan (SPP), to encourage long term ownership in the Group.  Variable remuneration  With the exception of the CEO and the portfolio managers of the Group’s Global Listed Infrastructure strategies (Infrastructure Portfolio Managers), the variable incentive amount is determined by reference to an employee’s individual performance and contribution, and the overall performance of the Group. Variable remuneration is not determined on a formulaic basis but is part of an overall performance appraisal process. The Board believes incentives should be aimed at areas where employees have direct influence over the outcome and that are in the best interests of the business and its clients.  18 NamePositionTerm as KMPNon-Executive DirectorsRobert FraserDirectorFull YearPaul LewisDirectorFull YearHamish McLennanDirector1 Mar 2016 - 30 Jun 2016Karen PhinDirectorFull YearExecutive DirectorsBrett CairnsExecutive ChairmanFull YearHamish DouglassCEO & Chief Investment OfficerFull YearGroup ExecutivesNerida CampbellChief Operating OfficerFull YearFrank CasarottiGeneral Manager - DistributionFull YearGerald StackHead of InvestmentsFull YearKirsten MortonChief Financial OfficerFull Year MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2016 3. 2016 Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued) Remuneration Philosophy and Principles (continued) Variable remuneration (continued)  The Board does not believe it is appropriate to use measures such as earnings per share or the share price performance of the Group in determining these employees’ annual variable remuneration. Such arrangements could misalign the interests of the employee with those of the Group’s clients and ultimately be detrimental to the long-term interests of shareholders. The CEO’s variable incentive is capped at 100% of his fixed remuneration and is dependent upon the performance of the investment strategies, measured over three years, for which he has primary responsibility. The Board believes that setting the basis of the CEO’s variable incentive with reference to investment performance provides an important alignment with the Group’s clients, and is in the best long term interest of shareholders. The Infrastructure Portfolio Managers have a variable remuneration arrangement that is directly tied to the net revenues, less certain allocated costs, of the Group’s Global Listed Infrastructure business. The Board considers that this arrangement appropriately rewards and aligns these employees’ interests with those of the Group’s clients and shareholders.   Share Purchase Plan  The Group does not operate a specific long term incentive plan, however the Group offers participation in the SPP as a means to align employees with shareholders, encourage employees to think and act like business owners and to create value over the longer term. o The Group does not offer share grants to employees as the Board does not believe that grants create alignment with shareholders through true ownership, as employees are not required to pay for shares through these instruments. o The Group does not grant share options to Directors or employees given the asymmetric payoff structure of options which creates a lack of alignment between employees and shareholders.    The Group’s SPP is a subscription for shares by SPP participants at the prevailing market price. The Group provides financial assistance to the SPP participants to acquire the Group’s shares via a full recourse, interest-free loan, and thus the SPP participant bears the full risks and benefits of being a shareholder. Refer to section 3.2 for further information about the SPP. The Board believes promoting meaningful broad based ownership should start at Board level and therefore the Group also offers participation in the SPP to Non-Executive Directors. The SPP provides participants with the opportunity to acquire a meaningful ownership in the Group and, unlike many option and performance share plans, participants are required to pay for the shares over time. The interest- free component of the full recourse loan provides real value to SPP participants and is expensed by the Group through the Group’s Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss. Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors 3.1 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. Non-Executive Director Fees The Board believes that Non-Executive Director fees should be modest and that when combined with a meaningful ownership stake, Non-Executive Directors’ interests are better aligned with the shareholders when considering important strategic issues such as executive compensation, acquisitions, dividend policy, and capital management. On that basis, remuneration comprises modest Directors’ fees (inclusive of superannuation) and the non-cash expense to the Group of providing the full recourse, interest-free loans under the SPP. These payments form part of the Non- Executive Director Remuneration Cap set out in clause 50(a) of the Constitution, which currently stands at $500,000. The Group has reimbursed or borne expenses incurred by the Non-Executive Directors in the discharge of their duties of $1,301 (June 2015: $1,429). Non-Executive Director SPP Participation The Non-Executive Directors are eligible to participate in the Group’s SPP which is described in section 3.2. Promoting a true ownership culture across the Group is an important objective and offering SPP participation to Non-Executive Directors is considered a key element in this pursuit. The Group provides participating Non-Executive Directors with a full recourse, interest-free loan to finance the purchase of the Group’s shares at the prevailing market price on issue date. An equitable mortgage is held over the shares acquired under the SPP. All dividends associated with the shares are swept to repay the loan and the equitable mortgage is not discharged until the loan is fully repaid. 19 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2016 3. 2016 Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued) Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors (continued) 3.1 Offering the SPP to Non-Executive Directors is an important part of the Group’s remuneration structure as it provides a way for Non-Executive Directors to have a meaningful, non-option like ownership stake. The Board does not put in place any minimum share ownership thresholds however the SPP structure delivers a shareholding often many multiples of the value of their Director’s fees. Importantly, Directors are fully invested in the Group at the beginning of their tenure rather than waiting many years to accumulate a meaningful ownership position. Financing is often required by Directors seeking to establish a meaningful ownership in a company, particularly if that stake is a multiple of their director fees. In the Board’s opinion it would be counterproductive to a true long term ownership position if that source of financing was external to the Group, as short term share price movements may impact the provision of that financing. The Board believes that the Group is in the best position to absorb any such short term share price movements, allowing the Non-Executive Directors to focus on the long term best interests of all the Group’s shareholders. The Board believes that providing full recourse financial assistance to Non-Executive Directors under the SPP does not hinder their independence from management and that establishing a meaningful ownership stake that is a multiple of a Non-Executive Director’s annual fees promotes independent thought and engagement that will be in the long-term interests of the Group’s shareholders. As the financing provided to Non-Executive Directors is full recourse, participating Non-Executive Directors are liable to repay the loan irrespective of the performance of the Group’s shares. Furthermore, the Group’s shareholders must approve the provision of financing to the Non-Executive Directors by way of a vote. Retirement benefits for Non-Executive Directors No retirement benefits (other than superannuation) are provided to Non-Executive Directors. Remuneration of Executive Directors and Other KMP 3.2 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 The Executive Directors’ remuneration is determined by the Board, which may utilise the services of external advisors. In respect of the year ended 30 June 2016 it comprised fixed compensation and, in respect of Mr Douglass only, a variable compensation amount. On 26 November 2015, Mr Douglass entered into an amended employment contract with the Group. As a result, some of the terms of Mr Douglass’ employment contract have changed. A summary of the changes to Mr Douglass’ remuneration is provided in section 3.5. Fixed remuneration Fixed remuneration is structured as a total employment cost package, which may be received as a combination of cash, non-cash benefits and superannuation contributions. Fixed remuneration for both Mr Douglass and Dr Cairns was unchanged from the previous year. Variable remuneration Mr Douglass is entitled to receive a variable incentive amount up to but not exceeding 100% of fixed remuneration each financial year. The amount of variable incentive awarded to Mr Douglass in respect of the year ended 30 June 2016 was determined with reference to the achievement by Mr Douglass of agreed criteria and performance metrics relating to the performance of the investment strategies under his control over the three year period to 30 June 2016. The performance metrics and relative weightings of these which are used to determine Mr Douglass’ variable remuneration are outlined in section 3.5. For the year ended 30 June 2016, Mr Douglass was awarded variable remuneration of 35% of his fixed remuneration (excluding long service leave) (100% awarded for the year ended 30 June 2015). Mr Douglass’ variable incentive for 2016 will be paid in 36 equal monthly instalments if he remains employed by the Group. In prior years, Mr Douglass’ variable incentive was paid partly as a current year cash bonus and partly as a deferred cash bonus over 12 months. Mr Douglass has agreed not to receive any of his variable incentive up front and to instead defer payment over the subsequent three financial years which is consistent with the medium term focus of Mr Douglass’ variable remuneration arrangements. In circumstances of death or incapacity, the payment of any unpaid monthly instalments as at the termination date will be accelerated. Further information is provided in section 3.5. 20 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2016 3. 2016 Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued) 3.2 Remuneration of Executive Directors and Other KMP (continued) Executive Directors (continued) Mr Douglass’ variable incentive is purely determined in relation to the performance of the investment strategies under his control. Importantly, the three year performance period emphasises the Group’s medium to long term focus for its investment strategies. This client focussed structure of Mr Douglass’ variable incentive is considered to be very important and, when combined with Mr Douglass’ substantial shareholding in the Group, is considered to provide an appropriately incentivised overall remuneration outcome. Mr Douglass is not entitled to participate in the Group’s SPP as the Board considers him to be sufficiently aligned with shareholders through his ownership of 11.1 million shares and 10.2 million Class B shares. Dr Cairns is not entitled to receive any variable incentive. Details of the remuneration paid to the Executive Directors is detailed in section 3.3. Details of the employment agreements of the Executive Directors are described in section 3.5. Group Executives (Other KMP) Other KMP remuneration comprises fixed and variable remuneration that takes into account the individual’s experience, abilities, achievements, and contribution to the Group. Fixed remuneration Other KMP fixed remuneration is structured as a total employment cost package, which may be received as a combination of cash, non-cash benefits and superannuation contributions. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually to ensure that it is competitive and reasonable, however there are no guaranteed increases to the fixed remuneration amount. Other KMP fixed remuneration increased approximately 5% from the previous year reflecting movements in market salaries (year to 30 June 2015: unchanged from the prior year). The Board considers this increase in fixed remuneration to be modest in the context of the growth in profitability of the Group. A summary of the link between performance and remuneration paid by the Group is provided in section 3.9. Variable remuneration The Board considers that indicators for the determination of annual variable compensation such as movements in the Group’s share price or earnings per share, may encourage behaviour that is not in the best long term interests of clients and subsequently the Group and its shareholders. The Board’s primary objective is that Other KMP are motivated to build long term client relationships and provide support for the generation of investment returns for investors in the funds managed by the Group which will ultimately deliver shareholder wealth over the long term. The Board believes that the participation in the Group’s SPP by Other KMP closely aligns their interests with the long term interests of shareholders. The CEO determines the amount of variable incentive to be paid to Other KMP, taking into consideration the individual’s performance and contribution during the year. The variable compensation of Other KMP (excluding Mr Stack) is discretionary and may be in the range of 0 to 100% of fixed remuneration (higher in exceptional circumstances) and comprises a cash bonus amount and a conditional deferred cash bonus payable in 36 equal monthly instalments over the course of the next three financial years. The deferred cash bonus was historically paid in 12 equal monthly instalments and has been extended to 36 equal monthly instalments for Other KMP. Entitlement to the deferred cash bonus is dependent on Other KMP being employed by the Group at the time of payment. Ms Campbell’s variable incentive is determined with reference to the achievement of various business management outcomes, including cost management and control, and the delivery of key business strategic and operational projects. For the year ended 30 June 2016, Ms Campbell was awarded variable remuneration of 100% of fixed remuneration (excluding long service leave) (awarded 100% for the year ended 30 June 2015). Key business outcomes that Ms Campbell delivered during the year included:  Overseeing the Group’s IT infrastructure and business continuity planning;  Overseeing the selection of new head office premises and relocation of the Group’s head office;   Overseeing the Group’s UCITS investment company based in Ireland. Establishing a legal and operating structure for Magellan’s US business; and 21 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2016 3. 2016 Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued) 3.2 Remuneration of Executive Directors and Other KMP (continued) Group Executives (Other KMP) (continued) Mr Casarotti’s variable incentive is determined with reference to the success of the Group in achieving objectives with regard to the building of distribution relationships, support of clients and investors, and the building of the Group’s brand in the Australian and offshore markets. For the year ended 30 June 2016, Mr Casarotti was awarded variable remuneration of 100% of fixed remuneration (excluding long service leave) (awarded 90% for the year ended 30 June 2015). Key business outcomes that Mr Casarotti delivered during the year included:  Overseeing the Distribution Team which achieved total net retail inflows of $2.3 billion and $1.8 billion of net institutional inflows; Promoting and maintaining the client focussed culture within the Group’s Distribution Team;   Deepening the Group’s relationships with Colonial First State/Commonwealth Bank, BT/Westpac and AMP;  Overseeing the strategy to develop and deepen relationships with stockbrokers as key target supporters of the Group’s ASX quoted funds; and  Overseeing the development of the Group’s client servicing and distribution presence in North America. Mr Stack’s variable compensation is determined as approximately 9% of net revenues earned by the Group in respect of the investment strategies for which he is a portfolio manager, less internal allocation of costs. For the year ended 30 June 2016, Mr Stack was awarded variable remuneration of 535% of fixed remuneration (excluding long service leave) (awarded 412% for the year ended 30 June 2015). Ms Morton’s variable incentive is determined with reference to the Group’s finance function. For the year ended 30 June 2016, Ms Morton was awarded variable remuneration of 100% of fixed remuneration (excluding long service leave). Key achievements that Ms Morton delivered during the year included: Leading the Group’s Finance Team;   Overseeing the Group’s taxation framework, including negotiating with US tax authorities on withholding taxes; Implementing a new cloud based expense management system; Promoting and maintaining a culture of excellence within the Finance Team; and Integrating the new US legal structure into the Group’s financial reporting.    SPP Participation Other KMP are eligible to participate in the Group’s SPP which is described later in this report. Other KMP remuneration includes the non-cash expense to the Group of providing interest-free loans under the SPP. Details of the remuneration paid to Other KMP is provided in section 3.3. Details of the employment agreements of Other KMP are described in section 3.5 of this report. 22 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2016 3. 2016 Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued) 3.2 Remuneration of Executive Directors and Other KMP (continued) Summary of variable remuneration outcomes The below table provides a summary of variable remuneration outcomes for Executive Directors and Group Executives for the years ended 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015.

To promote meaningful ownership by individuals, the Group has in place a SPP whereby employees and Non-Executive Directors are invited to subscribe for shares in the Group. The number of shares offered to any one participant is agreed by the Board following a recommendation by the CEO. Participants are generally required to make an upfront contribution of 25% of the value of the shares purchased with the remaining subscription funded via an interest-free, full recourse loan provided by the Group. Participants enter into an equitable mortgage agreement with the Group over the loan in respect of the shares and the shares cannot be sold until the loan is repaid. The loan term is five years for Non-Executive Directors and 10 years for employees. The loan is compulsorily repaid by participants via the following means:   dividends associated with the shares are withheld and swept to repay the loan; and in respect of Group employees, 25% of an employee’s after tax bonus payment is retained and swept to repay the loan. As the loan is full recourse, to the extent the share price falls below the SPP Offer issue price, participants are still required to pay the full loan balance. The issue price of shares under the SPP is the weighted average sale price of the shares on the ASX over the five trading days immediately preceding the day the offer is made. Details of the closing price of the Group’s shares as at 30 June in each year since inception of the Group are provided below together with the issue price of shares under the SPP: 30 June 2007 30 June 2008 30 June 2009 30 June 2010 30 June 2011 30 June 2012 30 June 2013 30 June 2014 30 June 2015 30 June 2016 MFG share closing price $2.20 $0.53 $0.55 $1.13 $1.32 $2.15 $9.64 $10.93 $17.40 $22.25 SPP Offer date 10 September 2007 20 October 2008 8 September 2009 10 November 2010 2 March 2011 30 September 2011 12 March 2013 29 October 2013 22 September 2014 13 November 2014 2 September 2015 6 September 2016 SPP Offer issue price of MFG shares $1.66 $0.52 $0.78 $1.35 $1.75 $1.20 $7.33 $10.02 $13.23 $13.64 $18.88 The non-cash expense to the Group of providing interest-free loans under the SPP forms part of the total remuneration of the employee participants and in the case of the Non-Executive Directors also forms part of the Remuneration Cap set out in clause 50(a) of the Constitution. The SPP provides an effective long term incentive to the employees who participate in the Plan as participants are fully exposed to future movements in the Group’s share price. As the SPP is not a grant of shares, no performance hurdles apply to (1) the invitation to participate; (2) the issue of shares; or (3) the release of shares for sale by the participant under the SPP. The Board has not set a policy for minimum shareholding requirements for executives and Non- Executive Directors as the SPP provides meaningful alignment for shareholders. Further details of the SPP are set out in note 15 to the financial statements. 24 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2016 3. 2016 Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued) 3.3 (a) Details of Remuneration The total amount paid or payable to Non-Executive Directors and KMP of the Group is detailed below: (A) The total cash bonus amount includes the current year cash bonus and deferred components of the prior year bonus which have been paid in cash over the course of the current year (refer to further details at section 3.3(b)).

Hamish Douglass, CEO and Chief Investment Officer The Executive Director is employed under a contract with MAM, with effect from 1 March 2008 and which will continue indefinitely until terminated. Under the terms of the contract, which applied for the year to 30 June 2016, Mr Douglass:  received fixed compensation structured as a total employment cost package of $1,250,000 per annum, inclusive of statutory superannuation contributions, which was received as a combination of cash, non-cash benefits and superannuation contributions. Fixed compensation was subject to review for the period commencing 1 July 2016; and  is eligible to receive in respect of each of the three (3) financial years to 30 June 2014, 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2016, variable compensation being a maximum variable incentive amount of up to but not exceeding 100% of his fixed compensation for that financial year. The amount of the variable incentive received is wholly based on the investment performance of the Group’s Global Equity strategy applying the following performance metrics and relative weighting set out in the table below. The Board, in consultation with the Executive Director, determined the underlying quantitative measures for each of the performance metrics that apply, which were subject to review for the period commencing 1 July 2016.

Achieves less than Benchmark Index p.a. Mr Douglass received 56.2% of this component in 2016, based on relative gross investment performance of 7.26% p.a. against Benchmark Index of 6.95% p.a. (B) The Benchmark Index is the MSCI World Net Total Return (in USD), a free-float adjusted market capitalisation weighted index designed to measure the equity performance of 24 developed markets. Index results assume the reinvestment of all distributions of capital gain and net investment income using a tax rate applicable to non- resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The returns are calculated using published index data on a daily basis. Daily returns are compounded to calculate the monthly and longer term returns. In respect of the year ended 30 June 2016, Mr Douglass will receive a total variable incentive of $442,456 (June 2015: $1,250,000) payable in 36 equal monthly instalments. Mr Douglass’ entitlement to variable incentive amounts is dependent on him being employed by the Group at the time of the payment and, where relevant, is also subject to the termination arrangements described in “Termination arrangements”. Mr Douglass 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 a business which in the reasonable opinion of MAM is primarily engaged in the business of funds management, other than an investment in MFG, Magellan Flagship Fund Limited, MAM and related entities, and any managed investment scheme in which MAM acts as trustee or responsible entity. These restrictions will cease to apply prior to 1 July 2017, if a third party acquires control of MAM or MFG, or if the employment contract is terminated for any reason. The restrictions do not apply in respect of any investment in: (a) (b) (c) shares in a company; interests in a managed investment scheme; or 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 this investment restriction MAM shall pay Mr Douglass an amount of $500,000 on or before 15 July 2017. If Mr Douglass ceases employment before 15 July 2017, MAM is not required to make the payment in part or in whole. Mr Douglass’ contract does not specify a shareholding ownership requirement, however as one of the founders of the business Mr Douglass and his associates hold 11,087,000 ordinary shares in addition to 10,200,000 Class B shares, details of which are set out at section 3.6 in this report. MFG Class B shares have no entitlement to receive a dividend and convert into MFG ordinary shares on the first business day after 21 November 2016 in accordance with a conversion formula. The service conditions attached to the conversion of the MFG Class B shares to MFG ordinary shares were satisfied on 1 July 2012. 29 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2016 3. 2016 Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued) 3.5 Employment Agreements (continued) Changes to Mr Douglass’ remuneration from 1 July 2016 Mr Douglass’ employment agreement required a review of fixed remuneration from 1 July 2016. The Board completed a review of the employment agreement in November 2015, the details of which are discussed below. Commencing 1 July 2016, Mr Douglass’ annual fixed remuneration in respect of any financial year will change to be an amount equal to 1.5% of the average annual operating profit before income tax expense for the Funds Management operating segment (as per the segment note in the audited annual financial statements for the Group) for the three immediately preceding financial years, subject to any adjustments agreed between the Board and Mr Douglass. The structure of the variable incentive for Mr Douglass remains unchanged and continues to be focused on the medium term performance (preceding three years) of the Global Equity strategy under the direct control of Mr Douglass. Mr Douglass can earn variable compensation up to 100% of his annual fixed remuneration. The payment of the variable incentive will be deferred over the subsequent three financial years (paid in 36 equal monthly instalments) and is dependent on Mr Douglass being employed by the Group at the time of the payment and, where relevant, is also subject to the termination arrangements described in “Termination arrangements”. Unlike for other employees, Mr Douglass has agreed not to receive any of his variable incentive upfront which is consistent with the medium term focus of Mr Douglass’ variable remuneration arrangements. The Board believes that this arrangement is appropriate given Mr Douglass’ role as co-founder, CEO and CIO of the Group, and Lead Portfolio Manager of the Group’s Global Equity strategy. When viewed in aggregate, the Board believes that Mr Douglass’ remuneration structure focuses Mr Douglass on delivering superior outcomes for both clients and shareholders over the medium term. The revised annual fixed remuneration arrangement was reached via a mutual agreement between the Board and Mr Douglass. Basing the fixed annual remuneration on the three year historical profitability of the funds management business incentivises Mr Douglass to make business decisions that are in the medium to long term interest of the Group and not on actions to simply maximise short term profitability. In addition, the arrangement meets an objective to remove the need to re-negotiate remuneration arrangements regularly and the potential distraction that this may entail. Whilst the Board appreciates that Mr Douglass’ fixed annual remuneration could rise materially in absolute terms over the longer term, if the profitability of the Group grows materially, it believes the arrangement is properly aligned and proportionate with the interests of shareholders. The variable incentive remains driven directly by the medium term performance of the Group’s Global Equity strategy. This is an important mechanism to ensure that Mr Douglass is focused on delivering outstanding investment returns for clients over a medium to long term period. Achieving superior investment returns for clients over the medium to long term will ultimately be in shareholders’ interests. In addition to Mr Douglass’ remuneration structure which focuses him on delivering positive medium to long term outcomes for both clients and shareholders, Mr Douglass’ substantial shareholding in the Group and personal investments in the Group’s investment strategies also create strong alignment with clients and shareholders. For the 2017 financial year, Mr Douglass’ fixed remuneration is calculated as $2,748,023 (inclusive of superannuation), compared with fixed remuneration for the 2016 financial year of $1,250,000 (inclusive of superannuation). Termination arrangements Termination arrangements within Mr Douglass’ employment contract are as follows: Termination with cause: The Board may immediately terminate Mr Douglass’ employment agreement with cause. Under these circumstances, Mr Douglass will be paid the statutory requirements of any accrued fixed remuneration (eg accrued base salary and superannuation) and accrued leave entitlements (eg annual and long service leave) at the termination date, after set-off of any loss suffered by the Group from the acts of Mr Douglass which led to his termination. Termination without cause: Either the Board or Mr Douglass can terminate Mr Douglass’ employment contract at any time by providing not less than 12 months written notice. Under these circumstances, Mr Douglass will be paid the statutory requirements of any accrued fixed remuneration (eg accrued base salary and superannuation), accrued leave entitlements (eg annual and long service leave) at the termination date and any other amounts approved by the Board in its absolute discretion subject to all applicable laws and regulations. 30 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2016 3. 2016 Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued) 3.5 Employment Agreements (continued) Termination arrangements (continued) Termination due to death or incapacity: In addition to the statutory requirements of any accrued fixed remuneration (eg accrued base salary and superannuation) and accrued leave entitlements (eg annual and long service leave) at the termination date, Mr Douglass will be paid:    any outstanding variable remuneration attributable to any previous financial year; a pro-rata variable remuneration component for the period from 1 July of that year to the termination date; and an amount equal to 200% of Mr Douglass’ fixed remuneration, subject to Mr Douglass (and his associates) maintaining a minimum shareholding in the Group (inclusive of Class B shares) of 20 million shares throughout the period from execution of the revised employment contract in November 2015 to termination, and subject to a maximum amount of $10 million. If the event of termination due to death or incapacity were to occur in financial year 2017, the amount equal to 200% of Mr Douglass’ fixed remuneration would be $5,496,046. This payment would be additional to the other payments referenced above. As required under the Corporations Act 2001, the Group will be seeking shareholder approval at its 2016 annual general meeting for the payment, in the event of a termination of Mr Douglass’ employment due to the death or incapacity of Mr Douglass, of an amount in excess of 100% of the average of Mr Douglass’ fixed remuneration for the three financial years preceding termination. Dr Brett Cairns, Executive Chairman The Executive Chairman is employed under a contract with MAM, with effect from 1 January 2015 and which will continue indefinitely until terminated. Under the terms of the contract, Dr Cairns is entitled to a fixed base salary of $1,250,000 per annum (inclusive of superannuation). Dr Cairns is not entitled to receive variable incentive payments. The contract is subject to review annually, from 1 July 2016. MAM may terminate the contract at any time by giving not less than three months written notice or providing payment in lieu of that notice, or at any time without notice if serious misconduct has occurred. Dr Cairns may terminate the contract at any time by giving three months written notice. In the event of termination of Dr Cairns’ contract, his termination payment would comprise any accrued fixed compensation, including superannuation, after set-off of any loss suffered by the Group from the acts of Dr Cairns which led to his termination; and any amounts of accrued annual and long service leave. Under the contract, Dr Cairns is restrained from soliciting employees and clients of MAM or any related company of MAM for a period of six months after termination of employment. For the year ended 30 June 2016, Dr Cairns received remuneration of $1,250,000. Group Executives (Other KMP) Other KMP have rolling employment contracts with MAM. MAM may terminate the contract at any time by giving not less than three months written notice (for Ms Morton, this is not less than one month) or providing payment in lieu of that notice, or at any time without notice if serious misconduct has occurred. Other KMP may terminate the contract at any time by giving three months written notice (for Ms Morton, this is not less than one month). On termination, the Other KMP are required to repay any loan amounts outstanding in respect of shares acquired under the Group’s SPP in accordance with the SPP terms and conditions. In the event of the termination of an Other KMP contract, their termination payment would comprise any accrued fixed compensation, including superannuation, after set-off of any loss suffered by MAM from the acts of that Other KMP which led to their termination; and any amounts of accrued annual and long service leave. 31 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2016 3. 2016 Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued) Shareholdings 3.6 The number of ordinary shares and Class B shares held during the year by each KMP, including their personally-related parties, is set out below: (A) Mr McLennan was appointed as a Director on 1 March 2016 and the opening balance as at 1 July 2015 represents the number of ordinary shares held by him and his associates as at the date of his appointment.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies This financial report is for Magellan Financial Group Limited (the “Company” or “MFG”) and its controlled entities (the “Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2016. The report was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 11 August 2016. 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 The 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. Changes in Accounting Policy, Accounting Standards and Interpretations (i) New and Amended Standards and Interpretations The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding reporting period except for the adoption of the new standards and amendments which became mandatory for the first time this reporting period commencing 1 July 2015. The adoption of these standards and amendments did not result in any adjustments to the amounts or disclosures in the current or prior year. (ii) Accounting Standards and Interpretations Issued But Not Yet Effective The Australian and International Accounting Standards issued but not yet mandatory for the 30 June 2016 reporting period have not been adopted by the Group or Company in the preparation of this financial report. The assessment of the impact of the new standards and interpretations which may have a material impact on the Group is set out below:  AASB 9: Financial Instruments (AASB 9), AASB 2012-6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures and AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments (effective 1 July 2018) 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 will be replaced with two measurement categories: fair value and amortised cost, and financial assets will only be measured at amortised cost where very specific conditions are met. AASB 9 was revised in December 2014 to include new hedge accounting requirements including changes to hedge effectiveness testing, treatment of hedging costs, risk components that can be hedged and disclosures. It also introduced a new expected-loss impairment model that requires credit losses to be recognised when financial instruments are first recognised and to recognise full lifetime expected losses on a more timely basis. At 30 June 2016, the Group continues to evaluate the recognition and disclosure requirements of this standard but does not anticipate it will have a material financial impact as the carrying values of its investments approximate fair value and the Group does not apply hedge accounting. The adoption of this standard is however expected to result in a change in the presentation of fair value movements within the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income and may also impact the type of information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. 43 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (a) Basis of Preparation (continued) (ii)  Accounting Standards and Interpretations Issued But Not Yet Effective (continued) AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective 1 July 2017) (AASB 15) AASB 15 supercedes the revenue recognition guidance in AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and related interpretations. Although AASB 15 is principles-based, it is a significant change from the current revenue requirements and will involve more judgements and estimates. The core principle in AASB 15 is that an entity recognises revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for selling goods or services to customers. AASB 15 has also introduced specific criteria for determining whether to capitalise certain costs, distinguishing between those costs associated with obtaining a contract (eg sales commissions) and those costs associated with fulfilling a contract. At 30 June 2016, the Group does not anticipate there will be any material change to the timing or manner of recognition for management, services or performance fees as these fees are currently recognised as revenue only when they are highly probable and the revenue recognition for interest income is unaffected as it is excluded from AASB 15. However the recognition basis relating to the US marketing/consulting fee expense may change as it may be required to be capitalised and amortised over the life of the relevant investment management agreements. Capitalisation is only permitted when the costs are expected to be recovered. As a result, the Group continues to analyse the treatment of the marketing/consulting fee expense and the extent of information required to meet the additional disclosures required under AASB 15, so as to understand the extent of impact on the Group’s systems, processes and controls.  AASB 16: Leases (effective 1 July 2019) (AASB 16) AASB 16 supercedes the lease accounting guidance in AASB 117 Leases and related interpretations. A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The definition if based on the premise of control, where a lease is identified when a customer has the right to (1) obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset; and (2) direct the use of the identified asset. AASB 16 will provide a single model for accounting for leases by lessees. Leases other than low value and short-term leases must be recognised on the balance sheet of lessees. The lessee will recognise an asset, reflecting its right to use the underlying asset, and a liability, in respect of its obligation to make lease payments. Expenses in respect of leases will include amortisation of the right-of-use asset and interest expense in respect of the lease liability. At 30 June 2016, the Group continues to evaluate the recognition and disclosure requirements of this standard, the financial and disclosure impacts of which are yet to be determined with the choice of transition yet to be decided. Further information will be provided in coming financial periods as these requirements are clarified. Principles of Consolidation (b) The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2016 (collectively referred to in this financial report as the “Group”). Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:  power over the investee where existing rights give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee; exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.   The Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:    the contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee; rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights. 44 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Principles of Consolidation (continued) (b) The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements or control. Consolidation of a controlled entity ceases when the Group loses control of the controlled entity. Assets and liabilities, income and expenses of a controlled entity acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the controlled entity. Controlled Entities i) Controlled entities are entities over which the Group has power to control, which is when the Group is exposed, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an entity, the Group also considers the following when assessing whether it has the power of control over the entity: contractual arrangements with the other voting holders of the entity, rights arising from other contractual arrangements and the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights. Controlled entities are fully consolidated from the date control commenced and deconsolidated from the date that control ceased. Refer to note 12 for all controlled entities. The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a controlled entity acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the group obtains control and until the date the group ceases to control the controlled entity. Any change in the ownership interest of a controlled entity, without a loss of control is accounted for as an equity transaction. All inter-entity balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated in full on consolidation. Accounting policies of the controlled entities have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those policies adopted by the Group. Associates ii) An associate is an entity over which the Group exercises significant influence but not control over its financial and operating policies. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control of those policies. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of controlled entities to bring their accounting policies and reporting dates into line with the Group’s accounting policies. 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 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 other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends or distributions received or receivable from an associate are recognised in the Company’s Statement of Profit or Loss and Statement of Other Comprehensive Income as income, while in the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying value of the investment. Structured Entities iii) A structured entity is an entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements under AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (AASB 12). The Group has assessed whether the funds in which it invests (as set out in note 11) and is appointed Investment Manager or Sub-Adviser, should be classified as structured entities. The Group has considered the voting rights and other similar rights afforded to investors in these funds, including the rights to remove the Investment Manager or redeem holdings. The Group has concluded that the funds in which it invests are not structured entities under AASB 12. 45 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (b) Principles of Consolidation (continued) Changes in Ownership Interests iv) When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant interest, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities, which means that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. Business Combinations (c) 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. Acquisition costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity. Segment Reporting (d) 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 and Chief Investment Officer, Mr Hamish Douglass. Foreign Currency Translation (e) The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is also the parent company’s functional currency. Transaction and balances i) 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 reporting date. The fair values of financial assets are determined using the Reuters London 4pm exchange rates at reporting date. Foreign currency exchange differences relating to financial assets are included in net changes in fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss. All other foreign currency exchange differences are presented separately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss as net gains/losses on foreign exchange. Group companies ii) On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of Other Comprehensive Income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss. Revenue Recognition (f) Management Fees Management 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 Group 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 fund’s or mandate’s portfolio value, is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss as it is earned and calculated in accordance with the Investment Management Agreements, mandates and Constitutions of the funds as set out in note 6. 46 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (f) Revenue Recognition (continued) Services Fees Services fee revenue is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss as it is earned and calculated in accordance with the Services Agreement. Performance Fees The Group may earn performance fees from its retail funds, some institutional mandates and Magellan Flagship Fund Limited (MFF). 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 the portfolio outperforming certain hurdles, which may be index relative hurdles, absolute 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. The Group’s entitlement to performance fees from MFF is dependent on MFF’s total shareholder return exceeding 10% per annum, compounded annually, over prescribed performance periods. Performance fees are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss 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 four years. Refer to note 6 for further details on the management, services and performance fees. Interest Income Interest income is recognised on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method. Dividend and Distribution Income Dividend and distribution income is recognised when it is declared. Net Gain/Loss on Sale of Available for Sale Assets The gain or loss on disposal of AFS 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income in the year of disposal. Expenses (g) Expenses are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss on an accruals basis. Directors’ fees (including superannuation) and related employment taxes are included as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss as incurred. Information regarding the Directors’ remuneration is included in section 3.3 of the Remuneration Report. 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Consolidated Statement of Other 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 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 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. 47 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (h) Income Tax (continued) 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 reporting date. Tax Consolidation - Australia MFG and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities formed a tax consolidated group for the purpose of the tax consolidation legislation, 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 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 or the relevant entity. 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. Offshore Banking Unit Magellan Asset Management Limited, a controlled entity of MFG, and a member of MFG’s tax consolidation group, was declared an Offshore Banking Unit (“OBU”) on 31 July 2013. Under current Australian tax legislation, assessable offshore banking (“OB”) income derived from the Group’s OB funds management and advisory activities provided to clients outside of Australia and New Zealand, net of costs, is 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 amount of assessable OB income, net of costs, in a financial year that will be subject to the 10% concessional tax rate is determined with reference to the current legislation’s definitions of assessable OB income, exclusive OB deductions and general OB deductions. For further details refer to note 5(d). Goods and Services Tax (GST) (i) 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 Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a receivable or payable. Cash flows are included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, is presented as operating cash flows. 48 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Financial Assets and Liabilities (j) The Group classifies its financial assets into one of the four following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. 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: Financial asset/liability Cash Receivables Financial assets Payables Classification Valuation basis Fair value through profit or loss Loans and receivables Loans and receivables Available-for-sale Held for trading Financial liability at amortised cost Fair value Amortised cost Amortised cost Fair value Fair value Amortised cost Refer to note 1(k) Refer to note 1(l) Refer to note 1(n) Refer to note 1(n) Refer to note 1(n) Refer to note 1(q) Derecognition of Financial Assets and Financial 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. Cash and Cash Equivalents (k) 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. For term deposits with a term of greater than 90 days 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. 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 regularly and bad debts are written off when identified. A specific provision for doubtful debts is made where there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the original receivable amount. Financial difficulties of the debtor or default payments are considered objective evidence of impairment. The amount of the impairment loss is the receivable carrying amount compared with the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Derivatives (m) 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) The Company’s financial assets comprise and are classified as follows: Financial Assets Type of Financial asset Listed shares and quoted funds Subordinated bank notes Unlisted funds Unlisted shares Term deposits Classification Valuation basis Available-for-sale Fair value Refer to note 1(n) i) Available-for-sale Available-for-sale Available-for-sale Loans and receivables Fair value Fair value Fair value Amortised cost Refer to note 1(n) i) Refer to note 1(n) i) Refer to note 1(n) i) Refer to note 1(n) iii) 49 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (n) Financial Assets (continued) Available-for-Sale Financial Assets i) Available-for-sale financial assets are assets that are not classified in any other financial asset category. These assets are carried at fair value. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in the available for sale reserve in the Consolidated Statement of the Financial Position and included in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income until the asset 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss. 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss. In assessing whether an available-for-sale asset is impaired, the Board considers 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 assets within 12 months of reporting date. 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 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 Group’s main income generating activity. Loans and Receivables iii) 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 reporting date is less than 12 months and as non-current assets where the term to maturity is greater than 12 months. When investments are disposed the net gain or loss on sale is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss at 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss 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. 50 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 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: Leasehold improvements Furniture and fittings Computer equipment - over the life of the relevant lease - over three to five years - over three to five years The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss. Payables (q) Payables comprise trade creditors and accrued expenses owing by the Group at reporting date which are unpaid. Trade creditors represent liabilities for goods and services received by the Group prior to the end of the year that remain unpaid at reporting 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 reporting date but not paid at reporting date. (r) Employee Expenses and Entitlements Wages, Salaries and Annual 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 expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months from reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to reporting date and included as current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable. Employee benefit on-costs are included in accrued employee entitlements in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and employee expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss when the employee entitlements to which they relate are recognised. Bonus Plan A liability and an expense are recognised for the bonus plan where the Group is contractually obliged or where there is past practice that has created a constructive obligation to pay the relevant bonuses. The cash bonus is paid within three months of reporting date. The conditional deferred cash bonus is paid in 12- 36 equal instalments (depending on the employee) in the following financial year and payment of the deferred cash bonus is conditional on an eligible employee being employed at the time of payment. The deferred cash bonus for each month is expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss as incurred. 51 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (r) Employee Expenses and Entitlements (continued) 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 reporting date. Any amount which is expected to be payable after 12 months from reporting 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 corporate bond rates at reporting date, with terms to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Share Purchase Plan (s) 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 reporting date, and of the changes in carrying value of the loans and employee benefits expense recognised in profit or loss are provided in note 15. 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. A make-good provision is recognised at the point in time when changes are made to the Company’s leased premises. The provision is the present value of an estimate of the cost to restore the premises back to the condition at the inception of the lease. A corresponding asset is recognised in leasehold improvements within property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the remaining life of the relevant lease (refer to note 1(p)). Contributed Equity (u) The Group’s ordinary shares, MFG 2016 Options and MFG 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. Earnings Per Share (v) 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. Rounding of Amounts (w) The Group is of a kind referred to in the Australian Securities & Investments Commission’s Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars in accordance with that Legislative Instrument, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. 52 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Parent Entity Financial Information (x) The financial information for the parent entity, MFG, (disclosed in note 16) has been prepared on the same basis as the Group’s consolidated financial statements, except for investments in subsidiaries which are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of MFG. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of the investment. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (y) 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 main area where a higher degree of judgement or complexity arises or where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements is the valuation of unlisted investments. The valuation techniques used, which involve estimates, are discussed in detail at note 19(h). Apart from the above and as the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are provided by strongly rated financial institutions, none of the other assets or liabilities are subject to significant judgement or complexity due to the timing of when revenues or expenses are accrued and recognised. 53 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 2.

Earnings Per Share (EPS) Weighted average number of securities The reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares on a fully diluted basis used to calculate diluted EPS is below: (A) The MFG 2016 Options expired by 30 June 2016. In the current and prior year ended 30 June 2015, the MFG share price was above the MFG 2016 Options exercise price. During the current and prior year ended 30 June 2015, the MFG 2016 Options 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. (B) The Class B shares (refer to note 14(d)(iii)) 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 into which the Class B shares would convert applying a conversion factor of 0.0637028. 58 30 June30 June20162015Basic earnings per shareNet profit attributable to shareholders ($'000)198,357 174,295 Weighted average number of shares for basic EPS ('000)160,635 159,639 Basic EPS (cents)123.5 109.2 Diluted earnings per shareNet profit attributable to shareholders ($'000)198,357 174,295 Weighted average number of shares for diluted EPS ('000)171,716 171,175 Diluted EPS (cents)115.5 101.8 Reconciliation of earnings used in calculating earnings per shareNet profit after income tax expense used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS ($'000)198,357 174,295 Consolidated EntityWeighted average number of securitiesWeighted average number of ordinary shares on issue used in calculating basic EPS ('000)160,635 159,639 Add adjustments: - equivalent number of unexercised MFG 2016 Options(A)791 1,270 - equivalent number of Class B Shares(B)10,290 10,266 Weighted average number of shares used in calculating diluted EPS ('000)171,716 171,175 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 4.

Consequently MGE ceased to be a controlled fund on 31 May 2015. As at 31 May 2015, being the date that MFG ceased to control MGE. MGE’s assets and liabilities were as follows: The following items attributable to MGE had been recognised within the Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2015:  net changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets (unrealised) up to 31 May 2015 of $5,476,000; and  $50,317 relating to realised investment gains which have been included in the net changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets of $24,165,000. 68 At 31 May 2015$’000AssetsCash and cash equivalents29,732 Receivables6 Investments161,781 Total assets191,519 LiabilitiesPayables1,079 Net assets attributable to unitholders 190,440 Total liabilities191,519 Net assets of MGE at date of loss of control - 31 May 2015- MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 12.

Share Purchase Plan (SPP) 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 align more closely the interests of Participants with the interests of the shareholders of the Group. At 30 June 2016, 978,251 ordinary shares were held by the Participants under the SPP (June 2015: 1,237,221). Employees are invited to subscribe 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 (ended 30 June) prior to the financial year in which the offer is made; and ii) such further number of shares 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 offer initially 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. Participants are required to apply an amount equal to 25% of their after tax annual cash 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. The maximum term of the loan for Non-Executive Director Participants is 5 years, except where shareholder approval is given to an extension. 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 is 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 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). 74 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 15. Share Purchase Plan (SPP) (continued) If a Participant ceases to be an employee whilst a loan to that Participant is outstanding, the Participant must: i) ii) 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 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 outstanding under the loan after the application of the proceeds of sale. The carrying value of the SPP loans at 30 June was: Shares are issued to Participants at an issue price equal to the fair market value of the shares at offer date calculated using the volume weighted average price of shares traded in the five business days prior to the offer date. The table below sets out the prices at which the shares were issued under the Plan.

Capital and Financial Risk Management Capital management (a) The Group’s approach to capital management remained unchanged during the year, which was to ensure that the Group 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’s capital consists entirely of shareholder equity. The Group has no external net borrowings at 30 June 2016 (June 2015: nil). 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 holding an Australian Financial Services Licence (“AFSL”). During the year ended 30 June 2016, MAM maintained the required net tangible assets of 10% of the three year average of MAM’s revenues and satisfied the liquidity requirements of cash and cash equivalents which is 50% of the required net tangible assets, in accordance with ASIC Regulatory Guide 166. Notwithstanding the liquidity requirements of the AFSL, the Directors of MAM determined on 18 October 2013 that MAM would hold a greater amount of cash and cash equivalents being at least $20,000,000. Financial risk management (b) The activities of the Group expose it to various types of risks, both direct and indirect: liquidity risk, price risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Exposure to risk occurs through the impact of the Group’s net profit and total equity arising from:  changes in the value of the Group’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 consequential impact on the management, services and performance fees earned.  The Group’s investment assets comprise strategic investments in:  unlisted and ASX quoted funds of which MAM, a wholly owned entity of the Group, is the Responsible Entity and Investment Manager (Magellan Funds); a direct portfolio of investments; and two unlisted institutional mutual funds in the United States of America, being Frontier MFG Funds, of which MAM is the Investment Manager.   The investment portfolios of the Magellan Funds and the Frontier MFG Funds are managed on a daily basis by MAM in accordance with the investment objectives and mandates of those funds. Further details of the risk management objectives and policies of those entities can be found in the annual report or the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) of the Magellan Funds, and the prospectuses of the Frontier MFG Funds. Liquidity risk (c) Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group 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 manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash reserves to cover its liabilities. In October 2013, the Board of MFG determined that the Group would maintain a minimum amount of $20,000,000 in cash and cash 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 $100,000,000. As at 30 June 2016, the Group had an obligation to settle trade creditors and other payables of $21,161,000 (June 2015: $14,332,000) within 30 days. In addition, the Group also has an obligation to pay the fully franked final dividend of 38.0 cents per share in respect of the year ended 30 June 2016 amounting to approximately $61,401,000 on 26 August 2016 (refer to note 4(i)). 81 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 19. Capital and Financial Risk Management (continued) Liquidity risk (continued) (c) The Group had cash (including term deposits maturing within 30 days) of $120,362,000 (June 2015: $93,934,000) and a further $53,747,000 (June 2015: $54,850,000) of receivables to cover these liabilities. At 30 June 2016, the Group reported current assets of $177,762,000 and current liabilities of $28,411,000 resulting in a net current asset surplus of $149,351,000. After taking into account the final dividend for the year ended 30 June 2016 totalling $61,401,000, this would result in a net current asset surplus of $87,950,000. Accordingly the Group has sufficient liquid funds and current assets to meet its current liabilities. Maturities of financial liabilities At 30 June 2016, the Group’s financial liabilities comprise trade creditors and payables which mature in 1 year or less (June 2015: 1 year or less). Price risk (d) Price risk is the risk that the value of the Group’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 investments in listed equities, Magellan Funds, the Frontier MFG Funds and from the Group’s entitlement to investment management and performance fees on funds under management. All of the Group’s investments are carried at fair value with changes arising from available-for-sale investments reflected in other comprehensive income. Over the past 10 years, the annual movement in the MSCI World Net Total Return Index has varied between +31% and -30% (in USD) and +33% and -21% (in AUD). 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 reasonably linear. Impact arising from the Group’s own investments Each incremental increase of 5% in the market prices of the Group’s investments held at reporting date would have had the following impact on net operating profit and equity: Assumptions and explanatory notes (i) the Group holds an investment in an unlisted fund that invests in unlisted equities. The fair value of this fund is determined by a Directors’ 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 the fund. (ii) a decrease of 5% in the market prices of the Group’s investments held at reporting date would have an equal and opposite effect to the changes disclosed above. (iii) the Group recognises impairment losses on available-for-sale investments in accordance with the accounting policy disclosed in note 1(n)i). For the purposes of the sensitivity disclosed above, it has been assumed that a 5% change in market prices would have no impact on the assessment of whether individual assets are impaired. 82 30 June30 June20162015$’000$’000Impact on available-for-sale reserve, net of tax7,878 7,180 Total impact on net operating profit and equity7,8787,180 Consolidated Entity MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 19. Capital and Financial Risk Management (continued) Price risk (continued) (d) Impact arising on entitlements to management, services and performance 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, and service fees from MFF based on an agreed methodology described in note 6(c). Management fees and services fees 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, and the market value of MFF’s portfolio less borrowings, during the years ended 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 would have increased the base management fees recognised in net operating 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 and the market value of MFF’s portfolio less borrowings would have an equal and opposite effect to the changes disclosed above. (ii) changes in market prices may impact the inflows to, and outflows from, the Group’s funds under management. This impact has not been estimated. Performance fees The Group earns performance fees from its funds, from some institutional client mandates and MFF to which it provides investment research and administrative 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 Group’s entitlement to performance fees for any given performance period is dependent on the portfolio outperforming certain hurdles, which may be index relative hurdles, absolute 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. The Group’s entitlement to performance fees from MFF is dependent on MFF’s total shareholder return exceeding 10% per annum, compounded annually, over prescribed performance periods. These fees also accrue over different calculation periods, ranging from three months to four years. The fees recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss are characterised as 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 has direct exposure to currency risk on foreign currency denominated: - - - investments designated as available-for-sale (refer note 11); cash balances and term deposits (refer note 18(c) and note 11); 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 notes 7 and 9). 83 30 June30 June20162015$’000$’000Impact on net operating profit and equity for the year10,185 7,918 Total impact on net operating profit and equity for the year10,1857,918 Consolidated Entity30 June30 June20162015$’000$’000Based on performance relative to a market index 6,627 2,822 Based on performance relative to a return hurdle207 5,692 39,180 32,899 Based on total shareholder return2,000 2,000 Total performance fees48,01443,413 Based on performance relative to both a market index and a return hurdleConsolidated Entity MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 19. Capital and Financial Risk Management (continued) Currency risk (continued) (e) At 30 June 2016, had the Australian dollar strengthened by 10% relative to each currency to which the Group had significant exposure, with all other variables held constant, the impact on the Group’s equity and net profit would have been: A decrease of 10% in the Australian dollar relative to each currency would have an equal and opposite impact to those disclosed above. The Group also has indirect exposure to foreign currency via its investments in unlisted funds. The Magellan Funds are denominated in Australian dollars and the Frontier 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, services and performance fees are also indirectly exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency where the management, service and performance fees earned from funds under management and MFF are subject to adverse movements in the exchange rate of the Australian dollar relative to foreign currencies. For the year ended 30 June 2016, approximately 92% of the Group’s management, service and performance fees were indirectly exposed to movements in the Australian dollar relative to other currencies (June 2015: 92%). 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’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to cash and cash equivalents and also term deposits. Substantially all of the Group’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents are held with major Australian banks. Term deposits are of relatively 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 at reporting date, the sensitivity on the Group’s net operating profit and equity of a decrease of 50 basis points in floating interest rates, assuming all other variables remain constant is: An increase of 50 basis points in floating rate interest rates would have an equal but opposite effect on net operating profit and equity. 84 2016201520162015$’000$’000$’000$’000Assets denominated in:US dollars(463)(595)(1,437)(1,112)Euro21 36 (30)(52)Canadian dollars(64)(64) - - British pounds(367)(244)(53)(77)Swiss francs - - (44)(22)Consolidated EntityIncrease/(decrease) in net profit in equity 30 June 30 June30 June30 June20162015$’000$’000Impact on net operating profit and equity 466 357 Consolidated Entity MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 19. Capital and Financial Risk Management (continued) 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 reporting date is therefore the carrying amount of financial assets recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The Group minimises concentrations of credit risk by ensuring cash balances and term deposits 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 with reference to the counterparty’s latest credit rating and may be updated throughout the year. During the year ended 30 June 2016, the Group held cash and term deposits with Australian and international banks. The credit quality of Australian banks counterparties at 30 June 2016 was rated by Standard & Poor’s as being AA-, and by Moody’s as being Aa2 (AA- and Aa2 respectively at 30 June 2015). The credit quality of the international bank counterparty at 30 June 2016 was rated by Moody’s as Baa2 (Baa2 at 30 June 2015). The Company has entered into an International Prime Brokerage Agreement (“IPBA”) with Merrill Lynch International (“MLI”), a subsidiary of Bank of America. The services provided by MLI under the IPBA include clearing and settlement of transactions, securities lending and acting as custodian for the Company’s assets. Under an addendum to the IPBA, Merrill Lynch International (Australia) Limited may provide financing services to the Company. The IPBA with MLI is in a form that is typical of prime brokerage arrangements. Each of the Company’s securities held by MLI may be used by MLI for its own purposes. Securities of the Company utilised by MLI become the property of MLI and the Company has a right against MLI for the return of equivalent securities. In the event of MLI becoming insolvent the Company would rank as an unsecured creditor and the Company may not be able to recover such equivalent securities in full. Cash which MLI holds or receives on behalf of the Company is not segregated from MLI’s own cash and may be used by MLI in the course of its business. In the event of MLI becoming insolvent the Company would rank as an unsecured creditor and may not be able to recover the cash in full. The Group 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 2016, the provision for doubtful debts was nil (June 2015: nil). At 30 June 2016, the Group also had credit exposure to the Participants with loans under the SPP. At 30 June 2016, the outstanding balance on the loans totalled $9,013,000 (June 2015: $7,245,000).

Capital and Financial Risk Management (continued) Fair value measurements (h) 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 funds which in turn invest in liquid securities quoted on major stock exchanges. The fair value is estimated using the redemption price provided by the unlisted fund. Level 3: valuation techniques using non-market observable inputs. The Group invests in unlisted funds which typically invest in unlisted entities, and has an investment in an unlisted company. The fair value is based on a Directors’ valuation. The table below presents the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s financial assets: (i) Unlisted Funds – Magellan and Frontier MFG Funds The fair value of investments in the Magellan Unlisted Funds operated by the Group and the Frontier MFG Funds are determined with reference to the redemption price at reporting 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 an investment in a single private equity fund. 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 fund’s redemption unit price, as determined by the fund’s investment manager, to reflect the illiquidity of the units. The Directors believe the estimated fair value, based on other unlisted fund’s valuation undertaken by that fund’s investment manager, and the discount assumptions applied, is reasonable and appropriate. (iii) Unlisted Shares - Other Investments in Unlisted Shares – Other comprises a shareholding in an 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 that company’s most current unaudited net asset position. 86 30 June30 June20162015Note$’000$’000Assets measured at fair valueAvailable-for-sale financial assets- Level 1: listed shares and ASX quoted units74,67911,584- Level 2: unlisted funds – Magellan and Frontier MFG Funds(i)131,286127,574- Level 3: unlisted funds - other(ii)81165- Level 3: unlisted shares - other(iii)175175Total financial assets206,221139,498Consolidated Entity MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2016 19.

The reconciliation of the fair value movements within level 3 is shown below: The fair values of all other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. 20.

Brett Cairns Executive Chairman 11 August 2016 89 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 90 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED 91 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY REPORT Magellan is committed to acting responsibly and ethically in all areas of its business. The Group seeks to engender a culture of building trust with all that do business with us. Responsible Investment Magellan is committed to responsible investment and became a signatory to the United Nations Principles of Responsible investment (“UNPRI”) in March 2012. The UNPRI is the globally recognised accord for responsible investing. Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) issues are considered to be a natural component of Magellan’s investment process, as gaining a robust understanding of these issues is a key part to assessing the outlook for future cash flow generation and risks facing investors. Magellan maintains an ESG Policy, which outlines how ESG issues are incorporated into Magellan’s investment analysis framework and investment process. Magellan considers proxy voting rights as an important power, which if exercised diligently can enhance client returns. Magellan believes these should be managed with the same care as any other asset managed on behalf of its clients. Magellan maintains a Proxy Voting Policy set of Corporate Governance Principles which outline its approach to proxy voting and engagement with portfolio companies. These policies and all proxy voting records are available to Magellan’ clients, however, given Magellan’s concentrated portfolios, proxy voting records are not made publicly available. As a long term investor, Magellan is committed to engaging with portfolio companies on ESG matters. During the year ended 30 June 2016 Magellan engaged with many portfolio companies on a number of material topics and has been successful in effecting positive changes on a number of occasions. Environment Magellan understands the importance of mitigating its impact on the environment and is committed to environmental sustainability. Given the nature of Magellan’s business and as a services firm of 101 employees, with approximately 80% of employees based in the head office in Sydney, Magellan has a relatively small environmental footprint. There are three main areas where Magellan’s environmental footprint lies – premises, energy and travel. Magellan aims to ensure that where possible, business operations are conducted in the most environmentally sustainable way possible. For example, Magellan has recently relocated its head office to a 4.5 star NABERS1 rated office building and energy efficiency was one of the criteria in the selection of its new head office premises. Magellan also continues to build awareness amongst its employees and focus on areas where it can make an impact including recycling. Magellan has also recently become a signatory to the Carbon Disclosure Project’s (“CDP”) climate change program. CDP holds the largest global collection of self-reported climate change, water and forest-risk data in an effort to transform the way the world does business to prevent dangerous climate change and protect natural resources. GHG emissions by Scope (metric tonnes CO2e) Scope 1 Scope 2 Total GHG emissions Total per employee Total per $ million of revenue Calendar Year 2015 0 97 97 1.05 0.3 As outlined in the table above, Magellan’s GHG emissions are relatively small, particularly on a per employee and per revenue basis., Magellan’s Scope 1 & 2 emissions intensity for 2015 of 0.3 tonnes CO2e per million dollars of revenue puts Magellan among the lowest emissions intensity companies globally. __________________________ (1) NABERS is a national rating system that measures the environmental performance of Australian buildings, tenancies and homes. NABERS is managed nationally by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, on behalf of Commonwealth, state and territory governments. 92 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED Within Magellan’s funds management business, as discussed in the section titled “Responsible Investment”, Magellan considers Environmental issues as a natural component of its investment process, particularly where such issues may impact the future cash flows of the companies in which it is invested. Magellan aims to engage with portfolio companies where it considers a material potential environmental issue has arisen. People As a funds management company, Magellan’s people are integral to the success of the company. Magellan takes an active involvement in staff wellbeing, staff engagement, motivation and career development. Magellan implements a number of initiatives to promote staff engagement and retention. Middle and senior management seek regular feedback from employees and Magellan also undertakes annual performance reviews with all employees to discuss performance against a set of internal performance objectives, to identify development areas as well as any training requirements. Magellan strongly believes that staff engagement and satisfaction goes well beyond direct financial compensation. Magellan’s annual leave policy encourages staff to take their full statutory requirement over each annual period by providing an additional week of leave if they do so. The aim is to ensure that staff maintain an appropriate work life balance. Magellan also enables flexible work arrangements to assist employees to balance their work, personal and family responsibilities. Magellan promotes staff ownership of the Company and encourages staff to think like owners as a way of engaging and retaining staff. Magellan believes the Company’s Share Purchase Plan (SPP), described in section 3.2 in the Director’s Report, is a transparent and essential program which improves staff retention and aligns the long-term interests of the staff with shareholders through a sense of ownership. As at 30 June 2016 approximately 75% of employees had an individual shareholding in the Company. Magellan is committed to workplace diversity and recognises the value of attracting and retaining employees with different backgrounds, knowledge, experience and abilities. Magellan maintains a Diversity Policy that outlines the Group’s commitment to diversity in the workplace and provides a framework to achieve the Group’s diversity goals for the business. 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. In the 2016 financial year, the Board reviewed the measurable objectives it has set to achieve improvement in the diversity of employees. These objectives for female representation are 33% for independent directors, 40% for senior management (classified by Magellan as Key Management Personnel) and 40% for the overall Group. As outlined in Magellan’s gender diversity statistics in the chart below, Magellan has good gender diversity with almost two thirds of Heads of Division2 roles held by women. As Magellan’s staff numbers have increased sizeably over the past few years, the Company’s retention remains high. At Magellan, culture is very important and the Company will continue to monitor retention rates. _____________ (2) Heads of division refers to employees who are responsible for a division or function within the organization. This statistic includes KMP, excluding the Executive Chairman and CEO. 93 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED Community Magellan believes an active contribution to community is important and actively seeks to give back throughout the year. Magellan does not generally make corporate donations as the Group prefers to focus on delivering satisfactory returns inclusive of regular dividend payments and allowing shareholders to determine which charities to donate to. Instead, Magellan prefers to focus its efforts on employee participation for fund raising initiatives. Magellan’s efforts over the past financial year include:  Supporter of Rotary Club fund-raising initiative Bobbin Head Cycle Classic  Employee participation in JPMorgan Corporate Challenge  Employee participation in UN Women’s International Women’s Day breakfast  Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation's White Shirt Day Magellan is also a participating fund manager in the Future Generation Global Investment Company. The Future Generation Global Investment Company is an ASX listed investment company that invests in global fund managers. Participating fund managers manage the capital entirely pro-bono in order for 1.0% of net assets each year can be donated to Australian non-profits committed to young Australians affected by mental health issues. Magellan is a foundation member and received an initial allocation of ~10% of the assets under management at time of IPO. 94 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED CORPORATE INFORMATION Directors Brett Cairns - Chairman Hamish Douglass – CEO and Chief Investment Officer Robert Fraser Paul Lewis Hamish McLennan Karen Phin Company Secretary Geoffrey Stirton Registered Office Magellan Financial Group Limited Level 36, 19 Martin Place Sydney NSW 2000 Telephone: +61 2 9235 4888 Fax: +61 2 9235 4800 Email: info@magellangroup.com.au Auditors & Tax Advisors Ernst & Young 200 George Street Sydney NSW 2000 Share Registrar Boardroom Pty Limited Level 12, Grosvenor Place 225 George Street Sydney NSW 2000 Telephone: +61 2 9290 9600 Fax: +61 2 9279 0664 Email: enquiries@boardroomlimited.com.au Securities Exchange Listing Australian Securities Exchange ASX code (ordinary shares): MFG Website http://www.magellangroup.com.au Corporate Governance Statement The Corporate Governance Statement for MFG can be found at the Corporate Governance tab at http://www.magellangroup.com.au 95 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION AS AT 4 AUGUST 2016 Distribution of Shareholders Analysis of the numbers of shareholders by size of holding at 4 August 2016 is presented below: Holding 1-1,000 1,001-5,000 5,001-10,000 10,001-100,000 100,001 and over Total Number of holders with less than a marketable parcel of Ordinary Shares Number of Holders 7,010 4,652 729 788 94 Number of Ordinary Shares 3,369,443 10,809,483 5,302,364 21,270,667 120,829,248 Percentage of Shares on Issue % 2.09 6.69 3.28 13.16 74.78 13,273 161,581,205 100.00 3,695 856,947 Twenty Largest Shareholders The names of the twenty largest shareholders of the Company as at 4 August 2016 are listed below: Holder Name HSBC Custody Nominees (Australia) Limited Magellan Equities Pty Limited JP Morgan Nominees Australia Limited Citicorp Nominees Pty Limited Midas Touch Investments Pty Ltd National Nominees Limited BNP Paribas Noms Pty Ltd Nota Bene Investments Pty Ltd Pershing Australia Nominees Pty Ltd Emmanuel Capital Pty Ltd Mr David Doyle BNP Paribas Nominees Pty Ltd Mr Christopher John Mackay Aljamat Pty Ltd Jash Pty Limited PAJ Lewis Pty Ltd Mr Philip Alan Kenneth Naylor & Mrs Andrea Naylor PAJ Lewis Superannuation Fund Pty Ltd Citicorp Nominees Pty Limited Mr Matthew David Webb Number of Ordinary Shares 20,351,591 16,888,949 16,276,133 11,488,630 10,296,300 7,418,985 2,995,420 2,851,497 2,023,154 2,000,000 1,500,000 1,397,036 1,390,385 1,310,000 1,130,331 925,000 914,167 875,000 642,159 517,788 Percentage of Shares on Issue 12.60 10.45 10.07 7.11 6.37 4.59 1.85 1.76 1.25 1.24 0.93 0.86 0.86 0.81 0.70 0.57 0.57 0.54 0.40 0.32 Total shares held by the twenty largest shareholders 103,192,525 63.85 Total ordinary shares on issue 161,581,205 96 MAGELLAN FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION AS AT 4 AUGUST 2016 Substantial Shareholders The substantial shareholders in the Company’s Register of Substantial Shareholders at 4 August 2016 are listed below: Shareholder Hamish Douglass, Midas Touch Investments Pty Ltd and associates(A)(B) Chris Mackay and associates(C) Number of Ordinary Shares 11,087,000 18,615,610 Percentage of Shares on issue % 6.86 11.52 (A) Date of last Appendix 3Y notice lodged on 2 August 2016 (B) Mr Douglass holds 10,200,000 Class B Shares which at 30 June 2016 were entitled to convert into 10,293,175 ordinary shares of the Company on 21 November 2016 (refer to note 14(d)(iii) for further details).
