Announcement

MacarthurCook Property Securities Fund Renounceable Rights Issue

The Directors of MacarthurCook Fund Management Limited (the “responsible entity”) are pleased to announce a 1 for 3 Renounceable Rights Issue (the “Rights Issue”) for holders of units in the MacarthurCook Property Securities Fund (the “Fund”).

The Issue price for new units issued under the Rights Issue will be A$1.05 (S$1.32, calculated using the Australian-Singapore exchange rate of as at 1.2610, which was the exchange rate as at 7 September 2007).

The Rights Issue will be available to unitholders who are resident of Australia, New Zealand, or Singapore as at the Record Date.

The Rights Issue seeks to raise up to A$51.08 million before expenses. Proceeds from the raising will be used to repay debt. However, the Fund will redraw debt in order to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities as they arise.

MacarthurCook Fund Management Limited (in its personal capacity) will underwrite any shortfall in the subscription for New Units under the Rights Issue at the Australian Issue Price of A$1.05, up to a maximum subscription of 4,761,905 New Units, for an underwriting fee of $50,000 (plus any applicable GST). Therefore, the minimum subscription amount under the Rights Issue will be A$5 million (subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement).

The Rights Issue will enable investors in the Fund to increase their unitholding at a potential discount to the prevailing market price of the Fund's units, without incurring transaction charges such as brokerage. New units issued under the Rights Issue will rank the same as ordinary units of the Fund. New units will not be entitled to the distribution for the period ending 30 September 2007, as they will be issued after the record date for that distribution, but will be entitled to the distribution for the period ending 31 December 2007 and to all distributions after that date.

Based on the increased forecast distribution for the 2008 financial year of 10.5 Australian cents per existing unit and the Rights Issue unit price of A$1.05, an Australian unitholder that is issued a new unit under the Rights Issue is expected to receive
