Special Offer – MMC’s Contrarian Global Value Fund

As communicated to the ASX on the 9[th] of July 2007, MMC Asset Management Limited ( MMC ) launched the Contrarian Global Value Fund ( the Fund ). The Fund was seeded with $20m and opened on 9 July 2007.

As a shareholder of MMC Contrarian we are pleased to inform you of an offer by MMC to you or a family member of the opportunity to participate in the Fund by reducing the minimum investment amount of $25,000 to $10,000.

This letter provides some further background on the Fund from MMC for your information.

About the Fund

  • MMC has appointed Contrarian Global Asset Management Limited ( CGAM ), an Edinburgh based “long only” global equities boutique fund manager, to provide investment advisory services to assist MMC manage the Fund.

  • The Fund’s objective is to maximise long term capital appreciation and capital preservation by providing investors with a concentrated portfolio of international equities, bonds and cash that aims to achieve a rate of return in excess of the Morgan Stanley Capital International ( MSCI ) All Countries World ex Australia index (unhedged) in $A over rolling three year time frames; however this is not guaranteed.

  • The Fund aims to achieve this objective by opportunistically selecting stocks from around the globe, with a high degree of flexibility. The Fund may hold cash when there is a lack of suitable investments that meet the Fund's strict valuation criteria.

  • CGAM's research approach is opportunistic and indifferent to sectors, industries, market capitalisation, countries and benchmarks. CGAM is not attempting to cover every company in the world but to identify and concentrate on those relative few that meet its stringent valuation criteria.

  • The Fund’s investment style is ‘absolute value’.

  • The CGAM investment team of Charles L. Heenan CFA, and Geoff Legg M.Sc., AIA, is based in Edinburgh, the home of some of the leading global fund managers. Further details on the CGAM investment team is contained in the Contrarian Global Value Fund Product Disclosure Statement and/or you can visit the CGAM website at www.contrarianam.co.uk.
