Member Account shall be transferred and held subject to such terms and conditions as are agreed between the transferring
Trustees and the Trustee of the Brooklands Superannuation scheme No. 1 and/or such other terms and conditions as the Trustee
may determine as being necessary or desirable or in the interests of the Member or the Scheme.
Notwithstanding the above a Member may apply to the Trustee to transfer, on condition of the current ability of the Scheme to

Member, an amount not exceeding the maximum value of the Member's Account of the relevant Member. If any benefit is
transferred from the Scheme to a transferee plan the transfer value (which may include a transfer of assets) shall be transferred

An In-Specie transfer is to re-register an asset from a previous custodian, nominee or owner into the name of the Trustees and the
pension scheme. Subject to the approval of the Trustees, and where an investment is already available and open through the
Brooklands (NZ) Superannuation Scheme No. 1 it may be possible to transfer assets as contributions, or to transfer assets held in a
transferring pension plan, without having to sell the asset and re-purchase once the funds are available in the Brooklands (NZ)
Superannuation Scheme No. 1.
Any charges, arrangements or agreements in respect of such asset will have been agreed prior to the transfer to Brooklands
Trustees (NZ) Limited and therefore the Trustees will not accept any liability in respect of any charges, arrangements or agreements
where these are carried through. Additional charges may apply to facilitate this, including from the transferring provider.
The Trustee
The Trustee will administer the Scheme in such a way as to confirm the principal purpose of the Scheme as the provision of
retirement benefits for and in respect of Members and in accordance with the Superannuation Schemes Act 1989 (the "Act").
The Trustee shall not be liable for any actions, claims or demands arising out of anything done or caused to be done or omitted by
it (whether by way of investment or otherwise) in connection with the Scheme and costs arising therefrom, except for a breach of
trust arising from its own fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence.
The Trustee is indemnified out of the Fund to the extent permitted by law against any actions, claims or demands arising out of
anything done or caused to be done or omitted by it in connection with the Scheme and costs arising therefrom except an act or
omission which the Trustee knew to be a breach of trust and which the Trustee knowingly or wilfully committed or omitted as the
case may be or was committed fraudulently or as the result of gross negligence.
The Trustee shall not be liable in respect of any payment to any person erroneously made by it in the bona fide belief that the
person shall be a good and sufficient discharge of the obligations of the Trustee.
The Trustee shall not be liable if the assets of the Scheme are insufficient to pay the benefits under the Scheme by reason of any
loss or depreciation of any of the assets of the Scheme.
Each Member is required to pay the Trustee fees as detailed in the Investment Statement.
The Trustee does not currently charge fees for exiting or transferring out of the Scheme, although, this may change in the future.
The Trustee shall also be reimbursed, in addition to the fees stated above, for all other costs, charges and expenses properly
incurred by it in connection with or in relation to Scheme.
The Trustee reserves the right to charge any Members, or any group of Members, fees at a lower rate or amount than what is
expressed in this prospectus or in the Investment Statement, or waive or rebate such fees to such Members.
GST on Fees
All fees are stated on a Ne Zeala d Goods a d Se i es Ta GST exclusive basis. Under current law some fees are wholly or
partially exempt from GST. To the extent that GST is payable on any of the fees, then the GST component is payable in addition to
the fee stated.
Appointment and Removal of Trustee
The Trustee may retire at any time by giving one month's notice in writing to Members.
Powers and Duties of Trustee
The Trustee shall have all powers, rights and privileges in connection with the Scheme requisite or proper to enable it to carry out

Page 13
Taxation
The Trustee may take whatever actions are necessary to comply with the requirements which are obligatory or which the Trustee
may elect in respect of the apportionment or allocation of taxation or benefits under the tax laws of New Zealand (Income Tax
Law).
The Trustee shall ensure that all taxes payable by the Scheme are charged to Members as determined by the Trustee from time to
time. In particular, the Trustee may, for tax purposes, treat each Member Account separately.
The Trustee may elect that the Scheme be a Po tfolio I est e t E tit PIE , or cease to be a PIE at its discretion, and may
allocate the costs of being a PIE as it considers appropriate. The Trustee shall ensure that any PIE Tax is attributed to Members
taking into account such matters as the Trustee, acting reasonably, considers appropriate.
Subject to the requirements of Income Tax Law, the Trustee shall have the power and discretion to:
make any elections as to the method of calculation for allocation or attribution of any income, PIE Tax or other amounts
as the Trustee considers appropriate;
take all steps necessary to ensure that the Scheme is eligible or continues to be eligible as a PIE or otherwise to comply
with the requirements of Income Tax Law relevant to PIEs, including but not limited to, crediting or debiting Member's
Accounts and divesting any investment;
elect to offset tax liabilities and rebates in respect of the Scheme and/or a Member and make such adjustments as the
Trustee considers appropriate;
allocate any tax rebate received in respect of Members among the Members in such manner as the Trustee considers
appropriate;
adjust Member's Accounts (by crediting or debiting amounts (as applicable)), or withdraw or withhold any amount payable
to a Member to the extent necessary to account for payments or rebates in respect of any tax or other amounts payable
or receivable from time to time, as the Trustee reasonably considers appropriate; and
exercise, or decline to exercise, any power or discretion relevant to PIEs granted under any enactment as the Trustee
considers appropriate.
Amendment to the Trust Deed
Subject to the Act, the Trustee may vary the Trust Deed at any time provided that no variation shall detract from the Deed's main
purpose, namely to provide retirement benefits to Members. No variation shall have the effect of:
a. reducing, postponing or otherwise adversely affecting the benefits, whether vested, contingent or discretionary, that may
in due course flow from, or are attributable to, membership of the Scheme as the case may be up to the date the variation
is made; or
b. removing any right of Members or other beneficiaries to participate in the management of the Scheme; or
c. increasing the contributions, fees, or charges payable by any Member,
without the written consent of every Member and beneficiary at the date the variation is made who would be adversely affected
by the variation.
Termination of the Scheme
The Trustee may resolve to terminate the Scheme by giving notice to the Members.
If and whenever the Scheme is terminated the Scheme assets shall be realised and subject to the payment of all costs charges and
expenses properly payable thereat, the net proceeds of such realisation and any moneys then in hand shall be applied at that date
(the Relevant Date) for the benefit of the Members and other Beneficiaries and every benefit shall be of such amount as the
Trustees shall consider appropriate having regard to the rights or prospective rights of each such person provided that:
The total value of the benefits payable in respect of each Beneficiary shall be equal to the amount of the Member's
Account at the Relevant Date
Page 14
The Trustees may in lieu of making provision for any Beneficiary under this Rule make a transfer to another scheme
of which such Beneficiary becomes a member
In respect of any UK Relevant Transfer monies held within the Scheme, the Member may elect another currently listed
QROPS to transfer their benefit holdings to, or an annuity, in accordance with the Annuity section of the Prospectus,
however, it should be noted that the QROPS rules will remain, highlighting:
o Any payment made to the Member in respect of the UK Relevant Transfer can only be made after the age of 55
unless the Serious Ill Health condition is met
o Any payment amounts will be restricted in accordance with the content of this document
o Any funds which the Member is not duly entitled through such restrictions must be transferred on to another
QROPS or equally acceptable retirement provision as allowable by HMRC without intentionally incurring an
unauthorised payment penalty
o Any payments which are made to the Member, where they fall within the 10 year reporting requirement, will be
dul oted to HMRC i a o da e ith the S he e Ma age s espo si ilit
The balance of the Scheme assets (if any) remaining after benefits to and in respect of the Members and other Beneficiaries have
been paid or secured shall be distributed among the Members in the proportion the value of the Member's Account at the Relevant
Date bears to the balance of the Fund at the Relevant Date.
Annuities
All or part of the amount recorded in the Member's Account shall be used by the Trustee to purchase an annuity for the Member
from a life insurance company or provider of good repute in the following circumstances:
if the terms and conditions of a transfer to the Scheme require the transfer amount to be used to purchase an annuity for
the Member, or
if the Member elects by notice in writing to the Trustee for all or part of the benefit that would otherwise be payable to
be used to purchase an annuity.
If an annuity becomes payable to a Member, the Member may, subject to any terms or conditions of a transfer set out under the
heading 'Transfers' on page 11, elect for the annuity to commence at any time after the Member's Normal Retirement Date.
Payment of benefits on death
Subject to any conditions imposed on the Member account referred to under the heading 'Transfers' above or the Trustee's
discretion referred to under the heading 'Trustee's Discretion' below, and on receipt of proof satisfactory to the Trustee of the
death of a Member the Trustee will pay a lump sum which is equal to the value of the Member's Account as set out below.
The Trustee shall have the power at any time after a Member's death:
to pay all or part of such lump sum benefit to the Member's estate; and/or
to pay or apply all or part of such benefit to or for the benefit of:
- any one or more of that Member's Dependants; and/or
- any one or more of that Member's Relations; and/or
- any nominated Beneficiaries.
In exercising its discretion as to the payment of benefits at death the Trustee may have regard to but shall not be bound by any
wishes notified to the Trustees by the Member.
Bankruptcy of beneficiary
To the maximum extent permitted at law, in the event of bankruptcy of a Member or in the event of proceedings being taken by
any creditor for attachment to an amount recorded in the Member's Account of the Member, or a Member's entitlement to a
Benefit, the amount recorded in the Member's Account, or entitlement to, or interest in, the Benefits of that Member are forfeited
to the Trustee. The Trustee shall hold and may apply the amount recorded in the Member's Account or Benefits which would
otherwise have been payable to the Member for the benefit of the Member or any of the Member's Dependents or Member's
Relations in such manner as it thinks fit.
Page 15
Infancy or incapacity of beneficiary
If any benefit is for a beneficiary who is an infant, under a legal incapacity, or in the opinion of the Trustee incapable of managing
their own affairs, the Trustee may pay the benefit to another person for the benefit of that beneficiary on the terms the Trustee
thinks appropriate.
Permitted withdrawals or benefits
The instances where a Member may make a withdrawal are contained in the Trust Deed. In summary, the withdrawals a Member
is permitted to make are detailed below.
Payment on Normal Retirement Date withdrawal
Subject to any conditions imposed on the Member account referred to under the heading 'Transfers' above or the Trustee's
discretion referred to under the heading 'Trustee's Discretion' below, a Member who has reached Normal Retirement Date shall
be entitled:
on the giving of one week's written notice to the Trustee, to a lump sum payment equal to the value of the Member's
Account;
periodic cash payments at a time and frequency agreed with the Trustee provided however the maximum amount payable
to the Member shall be the value of a Member's Account at the relevant time.
Death
The benefits payable at death are set out at page 14 above.
Early withdrawal benefit
Subject to any conditions imposed on the Member Account referred to under the heading 'Transfers' above or the Trustee's
discretion referred to under the heading 'Trustee's Discretion' below, with the consent of the Trustee, a Member may be entitled
to an early withdrawal to the maximum value of their Member's Account at any time between the Member's 50th birthday and
the Normal Retirement Date. Such consent will only be granted where the Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, considers
that the Member's circumstances justify such early withdrawal. The rules in the Trust Deed relating to benefit on or after Normal
Retirement Date apply to any early withdrawal as if the Member had reached Normal Retirement Date. This benefit is not available
in respect of the UK Relevant Transfer, which is defined in the QROPS Section, as benefits are only payable after the age of 55 in
respect of any funds transferred from or through a UK pension fund.
Early payment due to Hardship
Subject to any conditions imposed on the Member Account referred to under the heading 'Transfers' above or the Trustee's
discretion referred to under the heading 'Trustee's Discretion' below, the Trustee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at the
written request of a Member, and subject to the receipt of such information as the Trustee may require, make a payment to a
Member before the Member would become otherwise entitled to a Benefit under the Trust Deed or Rules provided the Trustee is
satisfied that hardship justifies such a discretionary payment. This benefit is not available in respect of the UK Relevant Transfer,
which is defined in the QROPS Section, as benefits are only payable after the age of 55 in respect of any funds transferred from or
through a UK pension fund.
Trustee's discretion
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Trust Deed, in respect of New Members (being Members who joined after the
effective date of the Deed of Amendment to the Trust Deed dated 22 March 2012), no withdrawal or payment shall be made from
the Scheme where the Trustee considers that the withdrawal or payment may be prejudicial to the status or treatment of the
Scheme, or to any Member of the Scheme or to any contribution made by or in respect of a Member under the Scheme under any
law (including, without limitation, tax status or treatment). The effective date of the Deed of Amendment is 6 April 2012.
Members' liability
Members will not incur any liability in relation to the Scheme other than in respect of contributions payable under the Scheme.

6. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICY
The Scheme is established principally for the purpose of providing retirement benefits to Members and the Member's dependants
and relatives (Beneficiaries).
The funds used to build the Investment Portfolios depend on the Investment and Investment Manager chosen. As at the date of
this Investment Statement, Members can have their funds invested in one or more Investment Portfolios.
In this section we will detail the Investment Managers available through the Brooklands (NZ) Superannuation Scheme No. 1, the
portfolios offered by them (subject to the section entitled Re ui e e ts to Ope a I vest e t), and where appropriate, the
u de l i g uildi g lo ks that ake up the i est e t offe i gs. Requirements to Open an Investment
In accordance with the requirements of maintaining the schemes Portfolio Investment Entity status, and the structure and benefits
that come with this, it is required that each investment portfolio has, at all times, 20 or more investments by member accounts.
At the date of the Investment Statement, Appendix 3: Investment Options No. 1 details the investments which have already met
these i i u e ui e e ts a d the efo e a e i ested i to i ediatel . Whe e a i est e t does t et eet these requirements, you can notify the Trustee of your desire to invest in the asset and your interest will be recorded. When the
investment becomes available, the Trustees will notify you accordingly.
Unless instructed otherwise, the Trustees will invest your funds in the next most appropriate asset at the Trustees discretion, or
will retain your funds as cash; therefore, it is important that you notify the Trustees of your alternative instruction where
appropriate.
The Trustees will not be responsible for any effects of neither that alternative choice, nor the time it takes for an investment to
become available, may have on your plan.

ARIA Capital Management Investment Options
Each Investment Portfolio invests into a range of building block funds, combined in different proportions with the intention of
catering to a range of preferred risk/return profiles. Each building block fund brings exposure to different asset classes and
strategies.
The Investment Portfolios and the building block funds into which they invest are set out in the following pages.
Page 17
Brooklands NZ QROPS – Absolute Return
Benchmark: 1M LIBOR + 3%
Target Volatility: Global Corporate Bond Index
Suggested Minimum Investment Time Horizon: 5 years
Charges*: 0.90% *Please note that these figures do not include any Trustee fees and/or Adviser servicing fees, or fees inside the building block funds, but are inclusive of a 0.9%
portfolio annual management charge. Post investment there are no transaction charges applied to any rebalancing or asset allocation changes within the
portfolio.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Absolute Return Strategy invests in a range of building block funds, combined in different proportions to match your
investment risk profile. Each building block fund has an absolute return objective, which means that they aim to offer a return in
excess of what you receive by simply leaving your money in the bank. Each building block fund brings exposure to different
investment strategies to improve the diversification profile. The building block funds will have exposure to a globally diversified
portfolio that may include equities, bonds, money market instruments, cash, derivative instruments, forward transactions,
collective investment schemes and other instruments as appropriate in achieving the overall objective of the Strategy. The building
block funds will be adjusted from time to time. Asset allocation changes after initial investment do not incur any dealing fees.
SUITABILITY
Designed for investors who are seeking longer term growth potential with at least a medium term time horizon and who are
prepared to accept a moderate level of volatility of returns as the price for potential growth. This strategy is designed to balance
risk and reward and is appropriate for investors looking for higher returns than those available from a high street deposit account
and willing to accept a certain amount of fluctuation in the value of their investments as a result. Investors in this strategy would
feel uncomfortable if their investments were to fall significantly in value in any one year. This strategy will maintain a broad spread
of assets, but with a greater emphasis on equities.

a 0.9% portfolio annual management charge. Post investment there are no transaction charges applied to any rebalancing or asset allocation changes within the
portfolio.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Income Strategy invests in building block funds, which specifically have an income generation strategy bias. Each building block
fund has a capital preservation a key objective, but brings exposure to different income generating strategies to improve the
diversification profile. The building block funds will comprise a mixture of income-generating assets and investments with scope
for capital growth in real terms and will be adjusted from time to time. Asset allocation changes after initial investment do not
incur any dealing fees.
Page 18
SUITABILITY
Designed for investors who are taking income or close to retirement and who seek stable yield and distributions from their portfolio
but are willing to forego possible higher returns in interests of preserving capital and less volatility. Returns from this strategy
should be slightly better than those available from a high street deposit account, although the value of the investment could fall as
well as rise. Investors in this strategy would feel uncomfortable if their investments rose and fell in value rapidly. This strategy will
maintain a broad spread of income generating investments, including higher exposure to less volatile asset classes such as money
market funds, government and index linked bonds, convertibles, asset based securities, commercial property, structured products
etc., to help guard against significant falls in financial markets

portfolio.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Global Growth Strategy invests in a range of building block funds, combined in different proportions to match your investment
profile. Each building block fund has a capital growth objective, and brings exposure to different growth strategies to improve the
diversification profile, principally aiming to maximise long-term investment returns by harnessing global equity investment
opportunities. The Funds i g glo al e uit e posu e to a ti e fu d a age s, a d also e posu e to a ket eut al i esti g to
reduce the volatility of returns as compared to global equity markets. The building block funds will be adjusted from time to time.
Asset allocation changes after initial investment do not incur any dealing fees.
SUITABILITY
Designed for investors willing to accept a much higher level of risk on their investments in return for potentially, higher returns in
the longer run Investors in this strategy are willing to accept what might be significant short term fluctuations in the value of their
investments as a result. They would feel comfortable if their investments fell in value more than 3 months in any one year and
might well see this as an ideal time to invest more. This strategy will maintain a higher exposure to more volatile investments,
including equities and commodities.

ARIA Investment Portfolio Building Blocks
As noted above, each Investment Portfolio is comprised of different levels of investment across a range of Building Block Funds. A
description of each Building Block Fund follows along with charging information and other important information.
FA AR Equity Market Neutral Fund
OBJECTIVES AND INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of the Fund is capital appreciation. The Fund will aim to achieve annual returns of 4% over 1 Month GBP
LIBOR, regardless of market conditions. The Fu d s o je ti e is to ge e ate long-term capital growth and by seeking consistent,
above average returns primarily through a combination of long-term and short-term investments, while also attempting to
preserve capital and mitigate risk through diversification of investments and hedging activities.

The Fund seeks to deliver absolute returns through investments in global equity markets. The Fund will primarily invest in equities
and equity related derivatives, including but not limited to single stock options, index options, single stock futures, index futures,
contracts for differences (CFDs) as well as swaps. The Fund will also invest in other collective investment schemes whose investment
policy is made up of equities and equity related derivatives, as described above, with an absolute return hedged equity approach.
The investment policy of the Fund will be based on quantitative, fundamental research in the selection of individual securities for
long and short positions, using a sto k-pi ki g method driven by quantitative screens.
The Fund may retain amounts in cash or cash equivalents, pending reinvestment, if this is considered appropriate to the objective
of maximising absolute returns. The investment strategy may include short sales, both as a hedging strategy and as a means of
generating discrete absolute returns.

as at each Valuation Day and will generally be payable to the Investment Manager in arrears at the end of each month and as of
any Redemption Date where Shares are redeemed prior to the end of any month. The Management Fee payable with respect
to any Shares redeemed prior to the end of a month will be determined solely by reference to such Shares.
Incentive Fee

and international political events, may cause sharp market fluctuations.

FA AR Alternative Income Fund
OBJECTIVES AND INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The aim of the fund is to provide investors with a long term investment solution for the fixed income and alternative investment
component of their investment portfolio. Absolute Return Alternative Income Fund is designed to deliver attractive income yields
compared to more traditional investment strategies by investing into longer term strategic higher yielding income opportunities
secured against very good collateral, but critically diversified across a multi asset class portfolio.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The Fund targets an unleveraged income yield of 6.5% per annum by investing in fixed income or coupon instruments in a multi
strategy, multi asset class portfolio including equities fixed income, commercial property, private equity and commodity
investments.
Yield may be enhanced through employing discretionary option strategies where our market view would support the view that
selling options premiums is a prudent investment strategy. This is not a systematic approach which can damage returns rather
than enhancing yield and therefore may not always be used.
Page 21
Liquidity: conscious that some of the longer term strategic yielding investments may not have the liquidity of a listed security, at
least 30% of the portfolio is invested into thematically driven, high yielding liquid investments such as high dividend yield equities
to ensure the fund’s ability to meet redemption requests.

FA AR Enhanced Income
OBJECTIVES AND INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of the Fund is to provide a consistent annual income, paid quarterly. The Fu d s objective is to generate an
annual yield of 7% per annum by investing into a diversified portfolio of structured securities, each with a different capital-at-risk
barrier. In order to reduce the fu d s sensitivity to movements in the underlying equity markets, the Fund only invests in securities
with capital-at-risk barriers that are observed on the maturity date of the se u it . The Fu d s se siti it to falls in equity markets
may also be reduced by the Fund investing into structured securities with the appropriate yield characteristics but with an
underlying exposure to asset classes other than equities, thus the Fund may have elements of a multi-asset class income portfolio.
Page 24
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The Fund seeks to deliver an annual income of 7% per annum, through investments in structured securities. The Fund will invest
into a diversified portfolio of securities from different counterparties, and is expected to have exposure to 10 or more. Whilst the
Fund has full flexibility to invest in a wide range of instruments, including listed and unlisted equities, debt securities (which may
be below investment grade), futures, options, warrants, swaps and other derivative instruments, primary exposure will be to
western equity indices such as the FTSE 100 and S&P 500. Derivative instruments may be exchange-traded or over the-counter.
The Fund may also invest in other collective investment schemes whose investment policy is made up of similar instruments, as
described above.
The investment policy of the Fund in terms of managing counterparty risk is for all counterparties to go through internal credit
screens with market capitalisation, liquidity and credit rating inputs. All counterparties must be of an investment grade credit
rating. The Fund may retain amounts in cash or cash equivalents, pending reinvestment, if this is considered appropriate to the
objective of preserving capital, or improving the yield on the portfolio.

FA AR Vexus Multi-Strategy Fund
OBJECTIVES AND INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of the Fund is capital appreciation. The Fund will aim to achieve annual returns of 4% over 1 Month GBP
LIBOR, regardless of market conditions. The Fund’s objective is to generate long- term capital growth and by seeking consistent,
above average returns primarily through a combination of long-term and short-term investments, while also attempting to
preserve capital and mitigate risk through diversification of investments and hedging activities.

specifically, the objective is to:
seek consistently positive returns in excess of those typically achieved from global equity markets over a full market
cycle;
generate returns independently from any specific benchmark and with low correlation to traditional asset classes;
keep volatility equal to or below that of global equity markets.
The Fund may use all possible strategies and methods in order to achieve its investment objective and is not restricted from
using any type of financial instruments. The Fund will take both long and short positions, make use of pair-trades and use leverage to
enhance returns. The Fund may use various hedging techniques and different portfolio management strategies to achieve the
investment objective.
The Fund’s approach will be multi-strategy in essence by establishing a diversified and actively managed proprietary trading book
consisting of equities, commodities, fixed income, currencies and related instruments. There will be two key building blocks within
the Fund: directional and non-directional trading strategies.

above average returns primarily through a combination of long-term and short-term investments, while also attempting to

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The Fund seeks to deliver absolute returns through investments in global securities markets. The Fund will primarily invest in
equities, fixed income, foreign exchange and stock indices globally, or other such collectives that pursue a ‘macro’ style of investing.
The Fund has full flexibility to invest in a wide range of instruments, including listed and unlisted equities, debt securities (which
may be below investment grade), futures, options, warrants, swaps and other derivative instruments. Derivative instruments may
be exchange-traded or over the counter.
The Fund will also invest in other collective investment schemes whose investment policy is made up of similar instruments, as
described above. The investment policy of the Fund will be based on fundamental, global macroeconomic research in the
identification of major themes that will impact markets. This process of market research may take time before a position is initiated.
The investment approach will not be neutral to markets.
The Fund may retain amounts in cash or cash equivalents, pending reinvestment, if this is considered appropriate to the objective
of maximising absolute returns. The investment strategy may include short sales, both as a hedging strategy and as a means of
generating discrete absolute returns

The above performance data represents the continued income and capital return resulting from holding units in the various funds
for the specified length of time to 30 September (as stated above), based on the change in unit price from the beginning of the
period to the end of the period. The performance assumes all earnings are re-invested. Past performance is not an indicator of
future performance of the funds which is not guaranteed.
The investment performance of the Investment Funds is based on the underlying investments currently held. An increase in the
value of the investments will result in a positive return being achieved. Conversely if there is a reduction in the value of the
underlying investments, a negative return will be declared.
There may also be fees and expenses associated with any investments into investment funds that the Investment Funds choose to
invest in. These fees and expenses are currently reflected in the returns of those investment funds and will impact on the returns
of the Investment Funds.
Please ensure, for the Investment Provider Key Entities and details of the currently available investments, their objectives and
policy, you also make reference to this document.
The Scheme is established principally for the purpose of providing retirement benefits to Members and Beneficiaries who are
natural persons.
CHANGE TO INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICY
The investment objectives and policies of the Investments are subject to change at any time. For further details on this, please
refer to the relevant fund managers or your financial adviser.
On joining the Scheme, Members must complete an Investment Request in a form prescribed by the Trustee. An Investment
Request states the Investment Portfolio(s) in which any amounts credited to the Member Account are to be invested and, if
investment in more than one Investment is requested, the proportion in which such amount is to be invested.
Members may be able to make changes to their investment portfolio at any time, by submitting instructions to the Trustees.
The processing of any initial or ongoing investment request is conditional on instructions being provided to the Trustees in the
manner prescribed.
Initial investments as well as changes to investments may carry additional charges including, but not limited to, trading charges,
withdrawal penalties and adviser charges.

16. OTHER MATERIAL MATTERS
Details of Matters Contained Herein
Investment Risk
Liquidity Risk
Regulatory Risk
Credit Risk
Administration Risk
Currency Risk
Tax Risk
UK Tax Risk
All investments carry risk. There are risks associated with the Scheme that could affect Members' ability to recover the amount of
their contributions or impact on the returns payable from the Scheme as described in the Prospectus. The principal risks applying
to the Scheme that could affect returns (and which are common to most superannuation schemes generally) are:
Investment risk: The value of investments and the return they generate can go down as well up. Past performance is not
an indicator of current or future performance. In an attempt to mitigate some of this risk, the Trustees have employed
the use of the Funds Library network, which provides useful information on each investment. You must discuss with your
financial adviser any chosen investments, and ensure that you are both understand and are comfortable with the risks
associated with any investment before instructing the Trustee to invest on your behalf. It is generally accepted that
investments with greater potential returns carry a greater risk, and those targeting the highest returns can offer the
highest risk to the capital invested. In order to mitigate these risks, professional advice should be sought when choosing
how to invest your pension monies. Your financial adviser should help you to take appropriate steps to create a portfolio
that suits your personal circumstances. Recent turmoil in the global credit and financial markets has resulted in significant
investment losses across most asset classes. For Members, that highlights investment risks and emphasises that, even
ith a eful a age e t, Me e s A ou t ala es a e less tha the i itial i est e t. From time to time market
conditions will materially and adversely affect the Scheme's investments. Members should be prepared to experience
declines in their Member's Account balances, especially for those choosing higher risk investments. Members are advised
to consult a professional adviser before making a decision to invest.
Liquidity risk: The Scheme is not able to meet monetary obligations in a timely manner. The risk arises where there is a
mismatch between the maturity profile of investments and the amounts required to pay withdrawals. In prevention of
this, preparation should be made by the Member to choose investments carefully and keep a relative amount of liquidity
to be able to cover benefits as required.
Regulatory risk: Future changes to tax, or general superannuation legislation which could affect the operation of the
Scheme or Members' interests in the Scheme, or of the Trust Deed being amended in a manner required or permitted by
Law that has the effect of reducing Members' interests in the Scheme. There is also a Risk with regard to QROPS
regulations varying and changes in tax or general acceptability in accordance with the regulations. The Trustee will
endeavour to meet such requirements and notify the Member if we are made aware of adverse impacts on them, and the
option to move from the pension scheme by transfer is always available and will not be restricted other than to comply
with prevailing legislation and regulations in relevant jurisdictions.
Credit risk: The Scheme becoming insolvent and being placed into receivership, liquidation or statutory management or
being otherwise unable to meet its financial obligations. If this occurs, Members may not recover the full amount of their
interest in the Scheme. To mitigate the risk insofar as the Trustees are able, Member holdings are segregated from the
Scheme Managers and from each other.
Administration risk: Technological or other failure impacting on the Scheme or financial markets in general. To mitigate
such risk, the Trustees employ contingency plans and keep both paper and digital copies of information, and as the
Custodian is regulated in the UK, such contingency plans are also required by their respective regulator to ensure that
client information is protected. This is not an absolute protection, but appropriate steps are taken to mitigate risk as much
as is possible.
Currency risk: Currency fluctuations where the underlying investment assets are denominated in or hedged to currencies
othe tha the Me e s ase u e ould affe t etu s. Retu s ill also e i pa ted he e the I est e t Po tfolio
Page 41
is denominated in or hedged to currencies other than the Member's base currency. Consideration may also need to be
given to the ultimate currency in which income will be received in, if this is different.
Tax risk: The rate of tax and the basis on which tax is imposed may change. Tax risk exists in relation to the underlying
investments of the Scheme and the returns it will make, as well as the tax considerations between New Zealand, as the
country providing the pension, and the country in which pension benefits are to be received. With respect to tax, we
recommend the client seek specific tax advice to ensure the Brooklands (NZ) Superannuation Scheme No. 2 suits their
personal circumstances.
UK Tax risk: The risk that a transfer or withdrawal of UK Tax Relieved Scheme Funds to or withdrawal of such funds from
the Scheme will give rise to a Member's liability for UK tax penalties on that withdrawal. To mitigate this, the Brooklands
(NZ) Superannuation Scheme No. 1 will only operate the scheme in accordance with the contents herein in accordance
with the prevailing legislation and regulations set out by HMRC.
This list is not exhaustive and there are many risks which you should consider with any pension product and QROPS. We
recommend that professional financial and tax advice is always sought when considering this product. Neither Brooklands
Trustees (NZ) Limited nor any other party can offer advice or be held liable for advice given, as well as regularly review your
decisions in like with life and circumstantial changes.
TRANSFERS OF UK TAX-RELIEVED SCHEME FUNDS TO THE SCHEME
A Member may at any time apply to the Trustee to have part or the whole of any other superannuation or pension plan transferred
to the Scheme where permitted in law and by the ceding and receiving schemes. Where another pension plan is credited to the
Scheme for a Member, those holdings will be attributed to the Member Account.
Transfers from other plans will be at the discretion of the transferring provider and the benefits received and allocated to the
Member Account shall be transferred and held subject to such terms and conditions as are agreed between the transferring
Trustees and the Trustee of the Brooklands Superannuation scheme No. 1 and/or such other terms and conditions as the Trustee
may determine as being necessary or desirable or in the interests of the Member or the Scheme.
Notwithstanding the above a Member may apply to the Trustee to transfer, on condition of the current ability of the Scheme to
accept such funds, UK Tax-Relieved Pension Funds. The value of the UK Tax-Relieved Scheme Funds being transferred (UK
Relevant Transfer) shall be credited to the Member's Account of the relevant Member and shall be transferred subject to the
following terms and conditions:
The Trustee shall designate at least 70% of the funds originally transferred from the UK for the purposes of providing the
Member with an 'income for life' (as determined by the Trustee),
The pension benefits and any lump sum associated with those pension benefits payable to the Member under the Scheme,
to the extent that they relate to the UK Tax-Relieved Pension Funds, are payable no earlier than the time at which the
Member attains the age of 55 unless the Member is in ill health (as that term is used in the Finance Act 2004 (UK)), and
Such other terms and conditions as are agreed between the scheme manager of any pension scheme from which the
Transfer Value is to be transferred and the Trustee and/or such other terms and conditions as the Trustee may determine
as being necessary or desirable or in the interests of the Member or the Scheme.
The Trustee may, at the written request of a Member, transfer to another superannuation or pension plan nominated by the
Member, an amount not exceeding the maximum value of the Member's Account of the relevant Member. If any benefit is
transferred from the Scheme to a transferee plan the transfer value (which may include a transfer of assets) shall be transferred
subject to such terms and conditions as agreed between the transferee plan trustees and the Trustee. Transfers in respect of UK
Tax-Relieved Scheme Funds shall only be made to schemes eligible to receive such transfers.
TAX
The information in this section is intended as general guidance only and is an indication of the relevant legislation in effect as at
the date of this prospectus. The application of tax law is fact specific. The Member should seek professional tax advice specific to
their individual circumstances prior to investing in the Scheme so that the Member clearly understands the taxation implications
of such an investment. Neither the Trustee nor any other person accepts any responsibility for the taxation consequences of the
Me e s investment in the Scheme.
Page 42
Portfolio Investment Entities
Capital gains derived by PIEs in relation to New Zealand and most listed Australian companies are not subject to tax. Investments
in certain offshore equities are taxed under the Fair Dividend Rate method, with a deemed return of 5% of the market value.
The Scheme is a PIE. Under the PIE tax regime, the Scheme attributes its taxable income to its Members and pays tax (if any) on
each Member's attributed income on that Member's behalf and at that Member's prescribed investor rate (PIR). The Scheme will
adjust a Member's interest in the Scheme to reflect the tax paid.
New Zealand tax residents
The PIRs for New Zealand tax resident individuals are 10.5%, 17.5% and 28%.
Members will be eligible for a 10.5% PIR if their taxable income in either of the two immediately prior tax years did not exceed
both:
$14,000 (excluding PIE income); and
$48,000 (including PIE income).
Members who do not qualify for the 10.5% rate are eligible for the 17.5% PIR if their taxable income in either of the two immediately
prior tax years1 did not exceed both:
$48,000 (excluding PIE income); and
$70,000 (including PIE income).
If a Member does not qualify for either the 10.5% PIR or the 17.5% PIR (or does not provide the Manager with a valid IRD number
and notify their PIR), their PIR will be 28%. The maximum tax rate for a Member is 28%.
If a Member provides their correct PIR, they will not be required to include the attributed taxable income in their tax return. If a
Member provides a PIR that is lower than their correct PIR, they may have to include the attributed taxable income in their tax
return. If a Member provides a PIR that is higher than their correct PIR, they will not be able to receive a refund of the overpayment
of tax.
Non-New Zealand tax residents
The Scheme is a 'foreign investment zero-rate' PIE. This means that Members who are not New Zealand tax resident can elect to
e otified fo eig I esto s sele ti g the % PIR o the Appli atio Fo a d p o idi g the e ui ed i fo atio , i luding
their tax file number (or its equivalent) in their local jurisdiction. Notified foreign investors are eligible for a PIR of 0% meaning that
no New Zealand PIE tax will be payable by the Scheme on their attributed income.
Members that are not tax resident in New Zealand a d do ot ele t to e otified fo eig i esto s ill ha e a PIR of 8% a d ill be subject to New Zealand PIE tax on their attributed income at that rate.
GENERAL
Members must advise the Trustee of their PIR and IRD number (if any) when applying for membership of the Scheme. Members
must also advise the Trustee if their PIR or notified foreign investor status changes at any time. If a Member does not provide their
PIR to the Trustee they will automatically be taxed at the maximum default rate of 28%. If a Member provides an incorrect PIR
they may be liable for any additional income tax.
If the Commissioner of Inland Revenue considers the PIR or notified foreign investor status notified by a Member to be incorrect,
the Commissioner can require the Trustee to disregard that PIR and instead apply a different PIR to that Member's attributed
income.
Taxable income is attributed annually to 31 March, or at any time a benefit is paid to or in respect of a Member from the Scheme.
1 Tax years generally commence on 1 April in any year and end on 31 March in the following year
Page 43
There may be changes to the taxation legislation and tax rates in the future which may impact each Member differently. Members
should always seek independent professional taxation advice for their individual circumstances.
QROPS
At the date of the Prospectus the Scheme is a QROPS, meaning that certain UK tax treatment may apply to Members who have
transferred funds into the Scheme from a UK-registered pension scheme or funds which otherwise have UK tax-relieved status. If
the Scheme loses its QROPS status any UK tax implications for a Member may change in relation to transfers into the Scheme.
Neither the Trustee nor any other person will be responsible for any tax consequences arising for Members in this eventuality.
To elaborate and give more information surrounding the specific workings of a QROPS, we will highlight the following points, which
are echoed within this document:
The transfer of pension funds from a UK Registered Pension Scheme to a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme
(QROPS) is considered an authorised payment in respect of the HMRC, which means that it will not normally attract an
unauthorised payment tax charge. It should be noted that HMRC do not certify QROPS as qualifying under the criteria set
out in the legislation though, only that they confirm they have received formal and satisfactory notification that the
scheme is in fact qualifying and Recognised, and therefore this must be taken into consideration when applying for
membership and transferring UK pension funds to it.
Any pension money which transfers from or through a UK Registered Pension Scheme is considered to be part of the UK
Relevant Transfer in the eyes of HMRC. In the Brooklands (NZ) Superannuation Scheme No. 1 the UK Relevant Transfer is
completely restricted in accordance with the QROPS rules and restrictions as detailed by HMRC.
When transferring from a UK Registered Pension Scheme, any pension funds which have not already been designated to
commence paying benefits (which is to say where the pension payments have been started or considered as started), or
for any portion of the pension funds which has not been so designated, or where the Member is not yet age 75, will be
tested against the UK Lifetime Allowance test. This test, which is designed to take into account all pension benefits, tests
to see if the total pension holdings, relative to certain enhancements which may on occasion be available, are in excess of
the taxed advantaged limits prescribed by the HMRC treasury. Where they are considered to be in excess of this amount
(for 2013/14 set at £1.25 million), a tax charge of 25% may be levied prior to transfer.
To be able to benefit from the advantages detailed in respect of a QROPS, in excess of UK limitations, one must have
completed 5 full consecutive UK tax years as a non-resident of the United Kingdom. If this criteria has not been satisfied,
pension benefits are limited to:
o The UK restrictions on entitlement, including pension income
o A tax free cash lump sum of 25% of the original value transferred from the UK
It should be noted and understood by the Member that, when transferring to a New Zealand QROPS, the pension holdings must
e t a sfe ed to the e ei i g s he e, ho ill i tu lo k i the UK Rele a t T a sfe u til su h ti e as the Me e e omes
entitled to it, hi h is 55 ea s old, u less the Me e a satisf the Ill Health o ditio s efe ed to i the UK Fi a e A t 2004.
This minimum age may change if the minimum retirement age changes in the UK, as the rules state that the minimum retirement
age in respect of a QROPS where dealing with a UK Relevant Transfer, must be the same as if Pension Rule 1, Section 165 of the
Finance Act 2004, in the UK, were to apply.
After a member has reached minimum retirement age, and on the condition that the QROPS criteria has been duly met to the
satisfaction of the Trustees, a pension commencement lump sum, also known as tax free cash, can be paid. The amount available
is the amount in excess of 70% of the funds originally transferred from the UK. The 70% must be locked into the pension fund to
p o ide a i o e fo life fo the Me e .
In respect of the UK Relevant Transfer, it is a requirement on the Scheme Manager to report any and all payments made from the
QROPS to HMRC. This requirement stays in place to the later of:
the member being a UK-tax non-resident for 5 clear and complete UK tax years ; and
10 years from the date of the last transfer of UK tax relieved funds to the Scheme.
The impact of this, and the fact that QROPS legislation began in 2006, means that all payments which are made to a member from
a QROPS in respect of the UK Relevant Transfer must and will be reported.
Page 44
For the avoidance of doubt, QROPS rules do not permit the payment of benefits before age 55 unless the Ill Health condition is
met, therefore, no UK Relevant Transfer would be eligible for either Early Withdrawal or Early Withdrawal Due to Hardship.
