GLOBAL
Series 6 (Trust 29) – Now Closed
CAPITAL PROTECTED GLOBAL SHAREMARKETS FUND
GLOBAL Series 6 tracks a basket of key international sharemarkets
while delivering the peace of mind of having full capital protection
at maturity. With GLOBAL Series 6 you get all of the upside when the
markets perform well while also being protected from any downside risks.
Recently, we’ve all seen how volatile global markets can be.
Since the end of July 2008, the US market has fallen 19% from its 2007
peak1, while Europe, UK, and Japan have all suffered significant
losses too. However, at Liontamer we believe that ‘volatility’ can
also mean ‘opportunity’, and in this environment we think
that global sharemarkets are relatively cheap and there are some bargains
to be had for astute investors with a medium-term outlook.
If you believe that now might be an opportune time to have an exposure
to global sharemarkets, but remain cautious about the immediate prospects
for international markets then GLOBAL Series 6 has a unique feature
called ‘Smart-start’ (which you can read all about below).
Add to that the comfort of knowing that there is 100% capital protection
in place at maturity, and GLOBAL Series 6 becomes a fund for cautious
international sharemarket investors and bargain-hunters alike.

| Liontamer Emerge Index† |
The Liontamer Global Index tracks six influential sharemarkets
via their major indices. The fund allocates an exposure
to each market according to a fixed weighting.
| Liontamer

| Europe |
40% |
| US |
35% |
| UK |
10% |
| Japan |
5% |
| Hong Kong |

| Central Europe |

The geographical allocation was decided in conjunction
with KBC Asset Management and broadly reflects the tactical
asset allocation of their equity portfolios as at 30 June
2008. |

| Tracker units |
- 100% of the rise in the Index (i.e. all of the rise)
at maturity.
- full (100%) capital protection at maturity#
This means that 100% of your capital will be repaid
at maturity (after any entry fee paid), even if the Index
falls in value. To ensure this is possible, the fund
buys a financial instrument (Asset of the Fund) sold
by the Fund Asset Provider designed to return the full
original capital amount at maturity. The Fund Asset Provider
is KBC Bank which has a Standard & Poor’s credit
rating of AA-. |

| Smart-start
feature |
Our innovative Smart-start feature removes some of the
market timing fears investors’ face in difficult
market conditions. Smart-start means that investors can
benefit even if the Index falls in value during the first
six months of the investment term. Smart-start finds the
lowest point at three intervals during the first six months
and re-sets the initial opening value of the index to that
lowest point.
So, even if global sharemarkets keep falling during
the early stages of the investment period, having a Smart-start
means investors can still benefit. Traditional managed
funds do not offer features like this. In fact, Smart-start
is available only through GLOBAL Series 6. |
|
| Early maturity feature |
If the financial instruments underlying the fund reach
a value of $1.60 within the first three years, they will
be liquidated and the fund will mature early. This provides
a way for investors to exit if there is exceptional performance. |
|
| Term |
Five years and six months
Note: Liontamer have the flexibility to increase or decrease
the term by up to six months. The term will be confirmed
at the end of the offer period and you will be advised
on your investment certificate. |
|
| Minimum investment |
$5,000 |
|
| Management fees |
No annual fee charged by Liontamer. |
|
| Brokerage |
2% will be paid by Liontamer (this is not a cost to
the investor) |
|
| Entry fee |
3% - unless rebated by your financial adviser. This
is outside the investment and is a charge paid by you |
|
| Early exit |
This is a hold-to-maturity investment and capital protection
only applies at the end of the term. Early exits are possible
on a quarterly basis at the discretion of Liontamer. Unless
there are exceptional circumstances behind the reason for
your withdrawal, the maximum value of your units prior
to maturity is $1 (less any break costs of the underlying
investments held by the fund and a 2% early exit fee).
By withdrawing early, you will get back less than you invested. |

†Liontamer Global Index: levels are averaged
monthly in the final year, which will protect you from any sharp falls
in the Index. In a rising market averaging lessens returns
# Capital protection at maturity: means you will
receive back 100% 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.
