27 January 2011: Taxation of Financial Arrangements

A new tax regime governing the taxation of financial arrangements (TOFA) applies to AMP Capital Investors Limited managed investments schemes (AMP Capital funds) from 1 July 2010 (or 1 January 2011 for AMP Capital funds with a tax year end of 31 December), subject to certain exceptions. The TOFA rules generally only apply to financial arrangements that are entered into after the commencement of the TOFA regime, however a ‘transitional election’ may be made to bring pre-existing financial arrangements within the TOFA regime.

The TOFA rules require gains and losses from financial arrangements be brought to account for tax purposes on a revenue basis, and in some cases require those gains and losses to be recognised for tax purposes on a compounding accruals basis over the term of the arrangement. The TOFA rules should not result in a significant change in treatment for any AMP Capital fund.

Investors should seek their own tax advice regarding the implications of the TOFA regime in respect of their investments in AMP Capital funds.

30 July 2009: Communication by fax

When you communicate with us by fax, it is your responsibility to obtain confirmation from us that we have received your fax.

Please note that we do not accept a sender's fax transmission record as evidence that a communication has been received by us. You also indemnify us against any loss or liability arising from us acting on any fraudulent communication received by fax.

It is important that you read each of the AMP Capital Personal Trading Policy and the AMP Capital Chinese Walls Policy, both of which can be obtained by contacting us. Current AMP staff members can also access these policies via the AMP Capital intranet. These policies provide information about your responsibilities in relation to the use of inside information.

AMP Capital Balanced Growth Fund

The following information updates all offer documents for the Fund, and should be read in conjunction with 'All funds' information set out at the top of this page.

30 September 2011: The following information is updated in all offer documents for the Fund.

1. Related party transactions

In the 'Additional information' section of each document, the following is inserted immediately before the heading ‘Complaints procedure’:

Related party transactions
A related party transaction is a transaction involving parties that have a close relationship with us, for example, where a fund managed by us invests in other funds where we are the responsible entity, trustee or investment manager.

Where we enter into transactions with related parties, we operate in accordance with related party protocols and AMP Capital policies and procedures which require us to transact on terms that would be reasonable if the parties were dealing at arm’s length. These policies and procedures, including related party policies, are governed as at the date of this document by the ‘AMP Capital Conflicts of Interest Guidelines’. These guidelines provide that where related party transactions exist, we must ensure legislative requirements are met and investors’ interests are protected. The guidelines will be reviewed on a regular basis and may change from time to time.

Under the Fund’s constitution, AMP Capital may:

  • deal with itself, an associate, investor or any other person
  • be interested in and receive a benefit under any contract or transaction with itself, an associate, investor or any other person, or
  • act in the same or similar capacity in relation to any other fund.

Accordingly, AMP Capital may enter into arrangements, either directly or through an underlying fund, with related bodies corporate for services provided to the Fund. These services may include, for example, the arrangement and/or provision of a term deposit or a liquidity facility. The provision for these services is on arm’s length terms.

2. Investment objective

Under the heading ‘Investment objective’ in the 'At a glance' table of each document, all information is deleted and replaced with:

To provide a total return (primarily capital growth with some income) after costs and before tax, above the Fund’s performance benchmark on a rolling 3 year basis.

The Fund aims to achieve this investment objective by investing across a range of asset types with higher exposure to growth assets.

3. Gearing

Under the heading ‘Gearing’ in the 'Fund profile' section of each document, all information is deleted and replaced with:

It is not our intention to gear the Fund. However, underlying funds and securities in which the Fund invests may be geared through the use of derivatives or borrowing. The Fund will be managed such that its risk characteristics are consistent with its investment objectives.

4. Short selling

In the 'Fund profile' section of each document, the following is inserted immediately before the heading ‘Ethical policy’:

Short selling
Underlying managers or funds in which the Fund invests may use short selling. Short selling involves the sale of an asset not owned by the seller at the time they agree to sell. The aim of short selling is to sell at a high price and buy the asset at a later time, at a lower price. In order to short sell, the seller will typically borrow the asset from another party or use derivatives such as swaps.

5. Gearing

In the 'Risks of investing' section of each document, the following is inserted immediately before the heading ‘Property investments’:

Gearing
Whilst it is not our intention to gear the Fund, underlying funds and securities in which the Fund invests may use gearing. Gearing has the effect of magnifying a fund’s returns, both positive and negative which means that the risk of loss of capital may be greater than if gearing did not take place. Additionally, increases in interest rates may affect the cost of a fund’s borrowings and so reduce a fund’s returns.

AMP Capital High Growth Fund

The following information updates all offer documents for the Fund, and should be read in conjunction with 'All funds' information set out at the top of this page.

30 September 2011: The following information is updated in all offer documents for the Fund.

1. Related party transactions

In the 'Additional information' section of each document, the following is inserted immediately before the heading ‘Complaints procedure’:

Related party transactions
A related party transaction is a transaction involving parties that have a close relationship with us, for example, where a fund managed by us invests in other funds where we are the responsible entity, trustee or investment manager.

Where we enter into transactions with related parties, we operate in accordance with related party protocols and AMP Capital policies and procedures which require us to transact on terms that would be reasonable if the parties were dealing at arm’s length. These policies and procedures, including related party policies, are governed as at the date of this document by the ‘AMP Capital Conflicts of Interest Guidelines’. These guidelines provide that where related party transactions exist, we must ensure legislative requirements are met and investors’ interests are protected. The guidelines will be reviewed on a regular basis and may change from time to time.

Under the Fund’s constitution, AMP Capital may:

  • deal with itself, an associate, investor or any other person
  • be interested in and receive a benefit under any contract or transaction with itself, an associate, investor or any other person, or
  • act in the same or similar capacity in relation to any other fund.

Accordingly, AMP Capital may enter into arrangements, either directly or through an underlying fund, with related bodies corporate for services provided to the Fund. These services may include, for example, the arrangement and/or provision of a term deposit or a liquidity facility. The provision for these services is on arm’s length terms.

2. Gearing

Under the heading ‘Gearing’ in the 'Fund profile' section of each document, all information is deleted and replaced with:

It is not our intention to gear the Fund. However, underlying funds and securities in which the Fund invests may be geared through the use of derivatives or borrowing. The Fund will be managed such that its risk characteristics are consistent with its investment objectives.

3. Short selling

In the 'Fund profile' section of each document, the following is inserted immediately before the heading ‘Ethical policy’:

Short selling
Underlying managers or funds in which the Fund invests may use short selling. Short selling involves the sale of an asset not owned by the seller at the time they agree to sell. The aim of short selling is to sell at a high price and buy the asset at a later time, at a lower price. In order to short sell, the seller will typically borrow the asset from another party or use derivatives such as swaps.

4. Gearing

In the 'Risks of investing' section of each document, the following is inserted immediately before the heading ‘Property investments’:

Gearing
Whilst it is not our intention to gear the Fund, underlying funds and securities in which the Fund invests may use gearing. Gearing has the effect of magnifying a fund’s returns, both positive and negative which means that the risk of loss of capital may be greater than if gearing did not take place. Additionally, increases in interest rates may affect the cost of a fund’s borrowings and so reduce a fund’s returns.


8 August 2011: Asset class benchmarks and ranges

In all offer documents for the fund, in the ‘Fund profile’ section, the table under the heading ‘Asset class benchmarks and ranges’ is deleted and replaced with:


Asset class Benchmark asset mix Strategic range

Management costs shown in Table 1 are made up of a management fee, recoverable expenses and a performance fee. Management costs charged by underlying funds or investment managers are included in Table 1 to the extent that we are able to estimate them. We may not be able to estimate these costs where the amount cannot be ascertained by us. For example an underlying fund may incur establishment and organisational costs, which may not be able to be ascertained by us. Fees and expenses charged by the Fund and underlying funds reduce the net asset value of the Fund and in turn, your investment.

AMP Capital Total Return Fund

The following information updates all offer documents for the Fund, and should be read in conjunction with 'All funds' information set out at the top of this page.

12 October 2009: Update on Fund investment advisers and leverage levels

As a result of a recent strategic review of its capability, AMP Capital advise that Dorset Management (Dorset) will no longer act as primary investment adviser for the AMP Capital Total Return Fund (the Fund). Internal changes at Dorset recently culminated in the departure of four key personnel from the Dorset business. AMP Capital has decided to retain the services of these four individuals to continue in their roles as investment advisers to the Fund. This decision has been made to ensure there is no disruption to the inputs into the investment process of the Fund. It will also ensure that the key individuals who have advised the Fund recently can continue in that capacity.

It is AMP Capital’s intention to consistently monitor and review our advisory arrangements to ensure that the best interests of unitholders are being served.

In addition to this change, we also advise that the Fund will be operating with leverage levels lower than those outlined in the Product Disclosure Statement and potentially as low as zero. The investment strategy states that we typically expect the Fund to be leveraged by 1.5 to 2.5 times. However, it also indicates that in deciding the appropriate amount of leverage we will take into account the levels of risk and degree of diversification adopted by the underlying fund managers. On this basis we have decided that it is in the best interests of investors in the Fund to lower the level of leverage in the current economic climate. Should the leverage within the Fund return to normal levels, we will update investors of the change.

29 April 2008: Change of unit price calculation used for withdrawals

AMP Capital Total Return Fund PDS

Under the 'Liquidity' section on page 18 of the AMP Capital Total Return Fund PDS dated 1 December 2007, immediately following the last sentence of paragraph three, insert the following:

From 29 April 2008, the unit price used to calculate your withdrawal value will generally be the price prevailing on the day we process your withdrawal (or part withdrawal) request, not the day you notify us of your intention to withdraw.

Staff Investment Programme PDS

Under 'Withdrawal prices and payment times' section on page 58 of the Staff Investment Programme PDS dated 10 March 2008, the first paragraph is deleted and replaced with the following:

Withdrawal prices and payment times

We normally determine the market value and net asset value of a fund at least each business day, using the market prices of the assets in which a fund is invested, other than for the AMP Capital Structured High Yield Fund, AMP Capital Core Infrastructure Fund, AMP Capital Total Return Fund and Future Directions Property (Feeder) Fund. For these funds, the unit price used to calculate your withdrawal value will generally be the price prevailing on the day we process your withdrawal (or part withdrawal) request, not the day you notify us of your intention to withdraw.

31 March 2008: Reinvestment of distributions

Reinvestment

The issue price for reinvested distributions is determined by the net asset value (adjusted by any distribution payable) and the number of units on issue in the unit class as at the last day of the distribution period. No buy spread is applied to reinvested distributions.
