Fact Sheet

Investment Statement

Fund information

Current financial market conditions could be likened to a worldwide stock-take sale. International sharemarkets have been sold down due to the events in the subprime mortgage market, which has in turn led to a ‘global credit crunch’. We believe financial stocks have been heavily discounted despite many continuing to show underlying financial strength. The negative sentiment spilled over to affect a wide range of other sectors, resulting in a prolonged period where solid companies with well known brands have been sold down along the way. Liontamer has carefully selected a basket of 16 global companies, which in our view have been oversold relative to their underlying value. These ‘fallen angels’ have been packaged into a capital protected fund designed specifically for New Zealand investors.

Please note: FALLEN ANGELS Series 1 has a pre-set growth target of $1.60 within the first three years; however, it is important to remember that this early maturity trigger is based on the fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) and not the hold-to-maturity (HTM) value shown below. The HTM value reflects the relevant level of capital protection plus the formula of returns which apply at maturity. Due to positive market conditions since the fund's launch the HTM value has risen steadily, however the actual NAV still has to rise further in order to reach the $1.60 early maturity trigger. Therefore, in order to avoid any potential confusion, the HTM value is capped at $1.60 until the NAV also reaches $1.60 (if within the first three years) and the fund matures early, or the pre-set growth target period has expired. If you have any questions about HTM values or how the pre-set growth targets are calculated please phone us on 0800 210 451.

Important information

Hold-to maturity values
The hold-to-maturity values shown on the table above are not a market value or a value at which investors can exit the fund. They represent what the value of each unit would be assuming it was maturing today and had been held for the full term. By making these assumptions, we can provide a hypothetical value which reflects the relevant level of capital protection plus the formula of returns which apply at maturity. We calculate this by adding together the accrued annual return and any growth in the underlying index, since the start date of investment. We take into account the participation rate of each fund when making the calculation i.e. the level of exposure the fund has to the index. The hold-to-maturity value gives investors an indication of how their investment is performing at the time the calculation is made.

Values prior to maturity
As capital protection only applies at maturity, the value of units prior to this date is a maximum of $1.00, less a 2% exit fee and any break costs involved in selling the investments held by the fund. Based on the restrictions imposed on the transferability of the units, a reasonable view is that the ‘market value’ of each unit can be determined and it will not exceed $1.00 before maturity.

Early exits
Early exits are possible from all Liontamer funds. Quarterly exits are available for this fund at the end of January, April, July and October.

The early repayment value of the units will mirror the value of the assets of the fund, capped at a maximum value of $1.00, less a 2% exit fee. If the value of the assets of the fund is less than $1.00 then you will receive that lesser amount less a 2% exit fee. By withdrawing early you will get back less than you invested. As capital protection only applies at maturity, choosing to leave the fund early can result in you receiving back less than your investment amount (due to the break costs of the underlying investments held by the fund) as well as paying the exit fee.

Exceptional circumstances
If the reason that you need to exit from the fund is ‘exceptional’, it may be possible to exit at a unit price which is higher than $1.00 per unit (at Liontamer’s discretion). Examples of exceptional circumstances would include death, serious illness or severe financial hardship. In these situations, we will need details of your circumstances in writing – your financial adviser or broker can assist you or your family with this process.

Transfers to other investors

Please contact your financial adviser or broker to arrange a transfer. If you don’t have an adviser or broker, contact Liontamer Investor Relations on 0800 210 451 or email us at info@liontamer.com

Disclaimer

*Capital protection at maturity means you will receive back 100% for Base Units and 90% for Booster Units, of the combined amount invested and early bird interest (earned during the offer period) less any entry fee charged (3%) and any exit fee. Capital protection only applies at maturity. Early withdrawals may result in investors receiving back significantly less than they put in, due to market movements, the exit fee and the fund’s establishment costs. There is a more detailed description of the capital protection in the Investment Statement and the limited circumstances when capital protection may not be available.
