THE FINANCIAL MARKETS AUTHORITY REGULATES CONDUCT IN FINANCIAL MARKETSThe Financial Markets Authority regulates conduct in New Zealand’s financial markets. The Financial Markets Authority’s main objective is to promote and facilitate the development of fair, efficient, and transparent financial markets.For more information about investing, go to www.fma.govt.nz

FINANCIAL ADVISERS CAN HELP YOU MAKE INVESTMENT DECISIONSUsing a financial adviser cannot prevent you from losing money, but it should be able to help you make better investment decisions.

Financial advisers are regulated by the Financial Markets Authority to varying levels, depending on the type of adviser and the nature of the services they provide. Some financial advisers are only allowed to provide advice on a limited range of products.

When seeking or receiving financial advice, you should check:• the type of adviser you are dealing with;• the services the adviser can provide you with;• the products the adviser can advise you on.

A financial adviser who provides you with personalised financial adviser services may be required to give you a disclosure statement covering these and other matters. You should ask your adviser about how he or she is paid and any conflicts of interest he or she may have.

Financial advisers must have a complaints process in place and they, or the financial services provider they work for, must belong to a dispute resolution scheme if they provide services to retail clients. So if there is a dispute over an investment, you can ask someone independent to resolve it.

Most financial advisers, or the financial services provider they work for, must also be registered on the financial service providers register. You can search for information about registered financial service providers at www.business.govt.nz/fsp.

You can also complain to the Financial Markets Authority if you have concerns about the behavior of a financial adviser.

This Investment Statement is dated 18 September 2015 and was prepared for the purposes of the Securities Act 1978 pursuant to the election made in the Prospectus for the purposes of clause 6 of Schedule 3 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

Prospective Investors are encouraged to consult an Authorised Financial Advisor (AFA) before investing in the Elevation Capital Value Fund.

ELEVATION CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LIMITED

Elevation Capital Management Limited (“Elevation Capital”, the “Manager”, “we”, “us” or “our”) - is a New Zealand domiciled and registered Financial Service Provider (“FSP”) FSP#9601. You can search for information about registered financial service providers at www.business.govt.nz/fsp.

Elevation Capital is the Manager of the Elevation Capital Value Fund (the “Fund”).

Elevation Capital was established by Christopher Swasbrook, a former partner of Goldman Sachs JBWere Pty Limited, in late 2006. The founding directors and shareholders of Elevation Capital are Andrew Harmos, Craig Stobo and Christopher Swasbrook.

As at the date of this Investment Statement, we manage over NZ$240 million on a global basis for both institutional and retail investors.

WE ARE DRIVEN BY OUR CORE INVESTMENT VALUES OF

“INDEPENDENT THINKING – DISCIPLINED INVESTING”.

INDEPENDENT THINKING - Is essential to long-term investment success. We are often contrarian and do not pay attention to index compositions when making investment decisions. We believe that when you’re several thousand miles away from Wall Street in a different nation, it’s easier to be independent and buy things that other people are selling, and sell things that other people are buying. We also believe that cash is sometimes the most attractive investment.

DISCIPLINED INVESTING - The market presents opportunities every day, but disciplined investing is as much about the opportunities you do not take. Our investments are premised on the concept of “Margin of Safety” which we believe reduces risk.

1MARGIN OF SAFETYIn the simplest terms, value investing is attempting to buy an asset for less than its estimated worth (which may or may not in fact be the case). At Elevation Capital it is about finding a well-run company with sound long-term prospects and investing at a time when its shares are selling at a discount. And if the shares aren’t selling at a discount, it’s about having the discipline and patience to wait until the price comes our way.

The term “Margin of Safety” was coined by Benjamin Graham, regarded as the father of value investing. He considered it to be the guiding principle to investing. This margin is the difference between the company’s estimated intrinsic value and the current price of the shares. As value investors, we measure what an informed buyer might pay for a whole business, and determine if the share price reflects that appraisal. We buy shares that are trading at an appreciable discount to our esti-mates of underlying value. Margin of Safety also leaves room for imprecision, error, bad luck or the vicissitudes of markets and economies.

We seek to build portfolios of securities and special situations that provide our investors with a “Margin of Safety” which it is reasonable to expect will generate positive absolute returns over the long term (that is a period of at least 3 - 5 years).

The Fund seeks absolute returns over the long term, utilising this value investment philosophy, while seeking to minimise investment risk.

Please carefully read this Investment Statement. Pay particular attention to the Section – “What are my risks?” (page 17). It is important you understand what the Fund is about before you consider investing.

Please do not invest with Elevation Capital on a short-term basis. Our value based investment philosophies require patience. If you feel uncomfortable with an investment time horizon of at least 3 - 5 years, you ought to think carefully before you consider an investment in the Fund.

Additionally, one of the main principles of investing money is to have a diversified portfolio of investments. You should carefully consider the size of your applica-tion (if any) in the Fund relative to your other investments. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult an Authorised Financial Advisor (AFA) before investing in the Fund.

ELEVATION CAPITALVALUE FUND 3The Fund is a Portfolio Investment Entity (PIE) that seeks to provide investors with long-term capital growth and income by directly investing in equities on a global basis, while at the same time adhering to a “Margin of Safety” investment philosophy.

The strategy of the Fund is to primarily invest in equity securities trading at a discount in relation to their net asset value/intrinsic value*, with low debt levels**, and which have a consistent history of paying dividends and/or returning capital to shareholders.

The Fund must invest in Authorised Investments (refer page 8) in accordance with the investment policy described below.

The Fund invests according to the following criteria:• the principal investments will be global equity securities (listed and unlisted) and cash may be held in lieu;• the maximum exposure to any equity security listed on a recognised exchange is limited to 5% of the Net Asset Value of the Fund;• the Fund will not utilise borrowings (leverage);• the Fund will not utilise derivatives (excluding foreign currency forward contracts and currency options for hedging purposes);• the Fund will not undertake short-selling;• investments in unlisted shares (i.e. companies not listed on the primary stock exchange in any country) are restricted to a maximum total exposure of 10% of the Net Asset Value of the Fund with each individual position capped at 5% of the Net Asset Value of the Fund (this excludes fully fungible ADR’s or ADS’s); the Fund may seek to hedge any single foreign currency exposure greater than or equal to 10% of the Net Asset Value of the Fund.

Our bottom-up, proprietary research may lead the Fund to investment opportunities in medium and smaller capitalisation companies in out-of-favour or overlooked industries and sectors. The Fund invests long only and is indifferent to index compositions. “Long only” means we look to buy well-priced securities – we do not look to take “short” positions in overvalued securities, hoping to profit when they decline in price. Indifference to index composition means that we do not pay attention to companies solely on the basis that they might be a member of a certain index. The Manager is primarily focused on finding attractive long-term investments based on the outlined investment strategy. Given our value discipline, the Fund may hold a portion of assets in cash during periods when attractive investments cannot be found. We view cash as an integral component of our investment strategy alongside patience as it affords us the opportunity to acquire what we assess to be discounted assets at potentially an attractive price based on a long-term investment horizon. As detailed above, the Fund has the ability to hedge foreign currency exposures at our discretion. As at the date of this Investment Statement, the Fund is currently unhedged.

The Fund began investing on 9 December 2008 and this is referenced as the Fund’s inception date on our Fund Fact Sheet.

* Net Asset Value / Intrinsic Value – is also referred to as “Private Market Value”. Collectively we define them as the value an informed industrialist/acquirer would pay to purchase assets with similar characteristics. We measure Net Asset Value / Intrinsic Value or Private Market Value by scrutinising on and off balance sheet assets, liabilities and free cash flow. We also examine valuations and transactions in the public domain to formulate our view of possible future value.

** Low Debt Levels – can be assessed relative to tangible and/or intangible assets, free cash flow, the industry in which a company operates, or versus peers within an industry.

We may vary such minimum initial and subsequent investment amounts from time to time at our discretion. Regular contributions can be made by completing the direct debit form enclosed with this Investment Statement. The minimum regular contribution is NZ$100. If you wish to invest in the Fund you must pay the applicable minimum investment amount.

Units are issued only on, or with effect from, a date on which the value of the Fund is calculated (a “Valuation Day”), which, at the date of this Investment Statement, is the last Business Day of each month. We have discretion whether to accept or refuse any application without giving any reason.

The amount to be invested must be paid to: “NZGT - Elevation Capital Applications” and sent to the Administration Manager at the following address:

Any interest earned in the bank ac-count will be credited to the Manager to cover the costs of administering this bank account. The number of Units that you will receive when you subscribe for Units will depend on the Issue Price on the Issue Date. The Issue Price for the Fund is the Net Asset Value per Unit.

The Net Asset Value per Unit is determined on the Valuation Day on which, or with effect from which, the relevant Unit is issued by dividing the Net Asset Value of the Fund by the number of Units on issue.

Units will be issued on the Valuation Day following receipt of application moneys or, if application moneys are received by 5pm on a Valuation Day, Units will be issued on that Valuation Day. If application moneys are received later than 5pm on a Valuation Day, the application will be processed on the next Valuation Day. There is no “cooling off ” period for this investment.

We may in our absolute discretion redeem or treat as void the issue of Units, including fractions of a Unit, which could result in the Fund losing its status as a PIE if remedial action was not taken.

The Manager may remove the Administration Manager and appoint a replacement without notice to Unitholders.

TRUSTEEThe Trustee’s remuneration is an annual fee of up to 0.10% of the Gross Asset Value of the Fund, subject to a minimum fee of NZ$5,000 each quarter.

The Trustee’s fee is calculated and paid every three months in arrears out of the Fund.

In addition, the Trustee is entitled to charge special fees for services of an unusual or onerous nature outside the Trustee’s regular services. There is no limit to the amount of special fees.

GSTGST will be added to any fees, if applicable. GST is currently levied at 15% on the trustee’s fee, the sub-custodian fees and on 10% of the management fee. The fees in respect of which GST will be levied and the GST rate remain subject to review and change by the Inland Revenue in its discretion at any time.

CUSTODIAN FEESThe custodial services fee is 0.025% per annum of the Gross Asset Value of the Fund (and any other funds which we manage in the future), subject to a minimum NZ$5,000 per annum in total per fund.

The custodian’s fee is calculated and paid monthly in arrears out of the Fund.

The Fund is also subject to sub-custodian, NZ Clear and bank charges which are based on Fund transaction volumes. These fees are difficult to estimate given they are based on Fund transaction volumes on a monthly basis (by way of example, in the year to 31 March 2014 the sub-custodian fees totaled NZ$ 11,850.82 including GST and in the year to 31 March 2015 the sub-custodian fees totaled NZ$ 12,153.51 including GST). These charges are calculated and paid monthly in arrears out of the Fund.

EXPENSESThe Manager and the Trustee are also entitled to recover from the Fund, expenses incurred by them in performing their duties. There is no limit on the amount of expenses that are recoverable by the Manager and the Trustee. No expenses of the Administration Manager may be recovered from the Fund – the Administration Manager pays all of its expenses out of its administration fees.

TOTAL EXPENSE RATIOA common way for people to compare the expenses of different unit trusts is to use the Total Expense Ratio (“TER”). The TER is not a separate fee, but a means of showing all fees and expenses that Unitholders pay when investing into the Fund (based on average fund size). To check our historical TERs please refer to the Prospectus or the Fund Fact Sheet, which are available on our website – www.elevationcapital.co.nz.

TRANSFER FEESThe Registrar may charge a fee in respect of any transfer or class of transfers. Such fee is an amount agreed between the Manager and the Registrar and paid by the Unitholder acquiring the Units. There is no limit on this fee.

ENTRY FEESThe Master Trust Deed provides that the Manager may charge an entry fee on the issuance of Units to a Unitholder to the extent it is provided for in the Establishment Deed. At the date of this Investment Statement the Establishment Deed does not provide for entry fees to be charged. However, the Establishment Deed can be amended by the Trustee and the Manager in accordance with the Master Trust Deed (see page 18).

PERFORMANCE FEESThe Master Trust Deed provides that the Manager may charge a performance fee to the extent it is provided for in the Establishment Deed. At the date of this Investment Statement the Establishment Deed does not provide for performance fees to be charged. However, the Establishment Deed can be amended by the Trustee and the Manager in accordance with the Master Trust Deed (see page 18).

EXIT FEESThe Master Trust Deed provides that the Manager may charge an exit fee on the redemption of any Units to the extent it is provided for in the Establishment Deed. At the date of this Investment Statement the Establishment Deed does not provide for exit fees to be charged. However, the Establishment Deed can be amended by the Trustee and the Manager in accordance with the Master Trust Deed (see page 18).

CHANGES TO FEESTwo months’ notice to all Unitholders of the Fund is required for any change to the basis of the Administration Manager’s fees and Manager’s fees for the Fund within the maximum fees detailed. Three months’ notice to all Unitholders of the Fund is required for any change to the basis of the Trustee’s fees for the Fund within the maximum fees detailed. Any change outside of the maximum fees requires the consent of Unitholders of the Fund by Extraordinary Resolution.

WHAT RETURNS WILL I GET? 8THE NATURE OF THE RETURNSYour returns from an investment in Units in the Fund will be derived from a combination of:

• Any distributions from the Fund; and• Any increase or decrease in the value of the Units in the Fund (reflecting changes in the value of the underlying assets) that is realised by you redeeming or selling Units.

As a general rule, the Trustee, The New Zealand Guardian Trust Company Limited, is legally liable to make payment of any returns from the Fund calculated by the Manager, to the extent of the available assets of the Fund, whether a distribution of profits from the Fund or on redemption of your Units. If you sell your Units to us or to a third party, that person will be legally liable to pay that portion of the return that represents the sale price. No particular return has been promised, and no person guarantees the payment of returns in respect of the Fund.

KEY FACTORS THAT DETERMINE YOUR RETURNSDISTRIBUTIONSThe Fund has paid distributions of 2.5 cents per unit on 31 March 2013, 2.625 cents per unit on 31 March 2014 and 3.5 cents per unit on 31 March 2015. In each case Unitholders have been given the option to reinvest their distributions in new Units. We intend, where circumstances permit, to continue to provide distributions to Unitholders in the Fund on an annual basis. However, we provide no guarantee (and the Trustee provides no guarantee) with regard to future size or frequency of distributions by the Fund. We may make a deduction from any distribution to you on account of PIE Tax attributable to income allocated to you.

CHANGES IN UNIT PRICEThe value of Units in the Fund will change with movement in the value of the underlying assets of the Fund.Units in the Fund are issued and redeemed at the Issue Price and Redemption Price respectively. The methodology for calculating the Issue Price is set out on page 12. The Redemption Price for the Fund is the Net Asset Value per Unit in the Fund at the relevant time. Pricing is gross of PIE tax. If you want to know the current Issue Price or Redemption Price at any time, contact us or visit our website for such information - www.elevationcapital.co.nz. The realisable value of your investment at any time is the number of Units you hold multiplied by the Redemption Price. This will be subject to any adjustment for PIE tax on income allocated to you. The Redemption Price may fall as well as rise, and the performance of the Fund may vary over time. We are responsible for the selection and ongoing management of the Fund’s Investments. Our ability to select quality assets for the Fund will therefore have an impact on any returns. Other factors that determine your returns include the fees and expenses deducted from the Fund (please refer to section “What are the charges?” set out on page 12) and any applicable taxes (as set out below). Neither the Trustee nor the Manager promises or guarantees any investment return amount in the Fund.

TAXATIONThe following statements in relation to taxation are of a general nature only and are based on current New Zealand tax legislation, which may change, and are provided for the benefit of New Zealand tax resident investors only. Investors who are not resident in New Zealand should note that these statements will not necessarily apply to them. The impact of taxation will vary depending upon each person’s individual circumstance. You are encouraged to seek professional tax advice. The Manager and the Trustee do not take any responsibility for your taxation liabilities. Your returns are likely to be affected by taxation. The taxation rules applying to the Fund are set out below. The explanation is based on the Fund remaining a Portfolio Investment Entity (PIE). Should the Fund cease to be a PIE, the taxation rules applied to the Fund may alter. The Fund has elected to become a PIE. As a PIE, the Fund will allocate all its taxable income (or losses) between its Unitholders based on the number of Units held by them. We will then calculate tax payable on such income allocated to you at your nominated Prescribed Investor Rate. Tax is then paid as described under the “Tax-paying investors” heading below.

PRESCRIBED INVESTOR RATE RULESYou must notify us of your IRD number and applicable Prescribed Investor Rate when you first invest in the Fund, and when these details change. If you do not notify both your IRD number and Prescribed Investor Rate, you will be taxed on income allocated to you by the Fund at the default rate of 28%. We will seek reconfirmation of these details annually.

The Prescribed Investor Rates are as follows:

• 10.5% and 17.5%: New Zealand resident individual investors have the following Prescribed Investor Rates dependent on their taxable and PIE income in one of the two previous income years:

New Zealand resident trusts (excluding unit trusts and charitable trusts) can elect to be taxed at 17.5%. Some New Zealand resident trusts (i.e. testamentary trusts other than charitable trusts) can elect to be taxed at 10.5%.

• 28%: This rate applies for all other New Zealand individuals, all non-residents and all New Zealand resident trusts (excluding unit trusts and charitable trusts) who have elected to be taxed at this rate.

• 0% (or “zero-rated”): This rate applies to New Zealand resident entities such as companies, unit trusts, other PIEs, charities, and superannuation funds and trusts that have not elected the 10.5%, 17.5% or 28% rates, and nominees and wrap providers that elect to become PIE proxies (such as Custodial Services). An individual cannot elect a 0% rate.

We are required to provide you with an annual tax certificate, which will include the PIE income allocated to you and the amount of tax paid at your nominated Prescribed Investor Rate. This information will be necessary when determining if a rate of lower than 28% can be selected in future.

TAX-PAYING INVESTORSUnitholders with a nominated Prescribed Investor Rate of greater than 0% are referred to as “tax-paying investors”. The Fund’s tax liability on PIE income allocated to its tax-paying investors will be deducted at the earliest of the following times in respect of each income year. Tax will be deducted by canceling Units, (but we reserve the right to also deduct from distributions if need be) equal to the value of the tax liability:

• At the end of the income year (following 31 March);• Upon a full or partial withdrawal, Units will be canceled to pay tax the following month;• If at any time, the value of your Units is, or could potentially become, insufficient to cover the Fund’s accrued tax liability on income allocated to you, this will be deemed a full withdrawal and tax will be deducted on account of the accrued liability. We will consider potential market movements when determining whether the remaining Units are of sufficient value to cover the tax liability.

A refund of tax will be provided to the Fund to compensate for PIE tax losses or excess tax credits relating to tax-paying investors, which is then allocated to such investors by issuing additional Units. If the correct tax rate has been elected, based on the Prescribed Investor Rate rules, the tax paid on income allocated to tax-paying investors will be a final tax and no obligation to file a tax return (in respect of this investment) will arise to such investors as a consequence. PIE income may however impact on your family assistance entitlements, as well as your student loan repayment obligations and any child support payment obligations. Taxpaying investors must advise us if their Prescribed Investor Rate changes. Failure to advise will result in tax being assessed at an incorrect tax rate. Nominating a lower rate than that applicable, will mean that you are personally liable to pay any resulting tax shortfall including penalties and interest and may be required to file a tax return. Similarly, tax-paying investors should advise us if their Prescribed Investor Rate has fallen. No credit or refund is available if tax has been paid at a higher rate than your correct Prescribed Investor Rate. Where the value of a tax-paying investor’s Units is not regarded as sufficient, or likely to be sufficient, to fund the PIE tax liability on income allocated to that investor, the Units held by that investor will be redeemed to fund that liability. Where Units are transferred, the transferor will bear the cost of PIE tax on income allocated to those units from the beginning of the Income Year to the date of transfer.

NEW RESIDENTSSpecial rules apply for Unitholders (who are individuals) that have newly become New Zealand tax resident. If this applies to you, it is likely that you will not have had any New Zealand taxable income in one of the two income years prior to the income year in which you became New Zealand tax resident. However, you must take into account your non-resident foreign sourced income when calculating your Prescribed Investor Rate. The exception is where you reasonably expect that your actual income (in the first income year you become New Zealand tax resident or the following income year) will be less than your total non-resident foreign sourced income (in the income year prior to becoming resident). If you choose to apply this exception, any PIE income allocated to you will need to be included in your tax return.

TRANSITIONAL RESIDENTSSpecial rules also apply for investors who meet the definition of a transitional resident (in the Income Tax Act 2007). If this applies to you, you must include all foreign sourced income (which may include amounts that are not New Zealand taxable income) when calculating your Prescribed Investor Rate.

ZERO-RATED INVESTORSUnitholders with a nominated Prescribed Investor Rate of 0% are referred to as “zero-rated investors”. If this applies to you, you must return the PIE income/(loss) and pay tax yourself. You will have a tax liability in respect of the PIE income allocated to you by the Fund, regardless of whether the Fund makes any distributions to you. The Fund will not cancel any Units or otherwise adjust your interests for PIE tax, as the Fund does not pay tax on the income allocated to you. You will be entitled to claim your share of excess credits or PIE tax losses in your tax return. You may also claim as a credit any PIE tax paid by the Fund on income allocated to you.

JOINT INVESTORSFor joint New Zealand resident individual investors, income is allocated based on notification with respect to the first named person in the register only. Any joint investor can be selected if the nominated Prescribed Investor Rates are the same, but if they are different joint investors must select the investor with the highest nominated Prescribed Investor Rate. If no notice of election is received income will be allocated to the first named person at the default rate of 28%.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO INVESTORSRedemption gains and distributions (if any) from the Fund will not be taxable to an investor. Any redemption losses on Units will not be deductible. Withdrawals will be made by way of redemption of Units.

CALCULATION OF INCOMEGains or losses made by the Fund on the disposal of shares in New Zealand resident companies or Australian resident listed companies on an Australian Stock Exchange approved index with franking accounts (excluding certain debt-like shares and stapled securities– i.e. two or more equity/debt securities which are sold as a combined security) will not be taxable or deductible. The PIE regime is designed to ‘pass through’ these benefits to investors, including where the Fund invests in unit trusts that are also PIEs. Dividends received from New Zealand resident and Australian resident listed companies, described above, will be taxable to the Fund. Foreign equities (including units/shares in offshore funds but excluding the Australian listed equities described above) held by the Fund will generally be taxed under the Fair Dividend Rate (FDR) method in New Zealand’s Foreign Investment Fund (FIF) Rules. Under this method, the Fund is deemed to derive taxable income equal to 5% of the average daily opening market value of its offshore equity investments for the relevant tax year. Dividends and any gains on the foreign equities will not be taxed separately. Equally, losses on foreign equities will not be deductible but any foreign tax credits attached to dividends may be available for offset against tax payable. Foreign equities offering guaranteed or fixed rate returns; or which are non-redeemable preference shares; or interests in a foreign entity that has assets of 80% or more invested in financial arrangements or fixed rate foreign equities either denominated in or hedged to New Zealand dollars (including where the hedging is undertaken by the Fund); or determined by Inland Revenue to be debt in economic terms, are taxed under the comparative value method, i.e. annual change in market value plus distributions received less costs incurred. Debt securities, derivatives, foreign exchange contracts, CFD’s (contracts between two parties, typically described as “buyer” and “seller”, stipulating that the seller will pay to the buyer the difference between the current value of an asset and its value at contract time), swaps and energy contracts held directly by the Fund are taxed under the financial arrangement rules. PIEs have restrictions on the percentage of Units in the Fund that any one investor, and associated parties (if the parties each hold interests of 5% or more) can hold. We may redeem or void Units exceeding the permitted threshold so as to ensure PIE status of the Fund can be maintained. If Units are voided, you will receive a refund of subscription moneys but any additional compensation is at the discretion of the Trustee in consultation with the Manager.

PROMISED RETURNSAt the date of this Investment Statement no amount of returns have been promised to Unitholders.

SUSPENSION AND DEFERRAL OF REDEMPTIONSWe may suspend redemptions in the Fund if, by reason of:

• the suspension of trading on any securities exchange; or• financial, political or economic conditions applying in respect of any financial market; or the nature of any Investment of the Fund; or• a Redemption Request is received or a series of Redemption Requests have been received within a period of three months that in aggregate relate to more than 5% of the number of Units on issue in the Fund; or

Page 17: Investment Statement

17

• the occurrence or existence of any other circumstance or event relating to the Fund or generally, we shall in good faith form the opinion that it is not practicable, or would be materially prejudicial to the interests of any Unitholders in the Fund for us to give effect to Redemption Requests in the Fund, then we may give a notice to that effect to any Unitholder who gives or has given a Redemption Request in respect of the Fund and suspend the operation of all Redemption Requests for the Fund. We may then determine that Units in the Fund may be progressively repurchased or redeemed by instalments with effect from one or more Valuation Days falling in a period that we determine or in total at the expiration of a period that we determine and in any such case the Redemption.

Price is to be calculated at the Valuation Day or Days on which Units are repurchased or redeemed. If a Redemption Request is received or a series of Redemption Requests have been received within a period of three months that in aggregate relate to more than 20% of the Number of Units on Issue in the Fund, we may suspend the right of the Unitholders in the Fund to make Redemption Requests on the following conditions:

• we must notify the Trustee of our intention to suspend the right of Unitholders to make Redemption Requests; and• we must immediately call a meeting of the Unitholders in the Fund to consider the winding up of the Fund or such other action as the Unitholders deem appropriate.

In the above circumstances, there is no express limit on the period of deferral or suspension.

WHAT ARE MY RISKS? 9No investment is risk-free and the Fund is no exception. The principal risks faced by you of not recovering in full the money paid for your Units and/or not receiving any returns on your Units are as follows:

• Market Conditions Risk: Markets are affected by a number of factors, including economic and regulatory conditions, market sentiment, political events, and environmental and technology issues.• Investment Specific Risks: Individual investments can be affected by unexpected changes in the issuing entity, its operations or its business environment.• Investment Strategy Risks: The investment strategy of the Fund may result in the Fund’s returns being different from any sharemarket index and from competing investments / investment products.• Liquidity Risks: The Fund may hold a proportion of its assets in cash. However, if securities are required to be sold to fund redemptions of Units in excess of the amount of the cash held, the lack of a liquid secondary market in some securities may mean those securities are sold at a discount to fair value. This may reduce the Net Asset Value of the Fund and therefore the Redemption Price.• Currency Risks: The Fund will generally invest in investments denominated in other currencies. This will expose the Fund to movements in foreign currencies, which can have an effect on the New Zealand dollar value of the investments or foreign exchange contracts, or the income from those investments or foreign exchange contracts.• Redemption Risks: A number of Unitholders may seek to withdraw from the Fund at the same time, requiring the Fund to realise investments that may be illiquid and only able to be sold at a discount. This may result in a reduction in the Net Asset Value of the Fund and therefore the Redemption Price. In certain circumstances we are able to suspend redemptions – see “Suspension and Deferral of Redemptions” on page 16.• Valuation Risks: It is reasonably foreseeable that, on termination of any security at any time, a Unitholder will have received, in total, less than the amount paid to us or the Administration Manager for Units in the Fund. This is due to the nature of investment return and the principal value of an investment in the Fund. We note that current performance detailed on the Fund Fact Sheet and on the website (www.elevationcapital.co.nz) may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

CAN THE INVESTMENT BE ALTERED? 10INSOLVENCY OF THE FUNDMoney invested in the Fund is held separately from the Manager’s and the Trustee’s assets, and would be unaffected by any insolvency of the Manager or the Trustee. If the Manager becomes insolvent, is put into liquidation or has a receiver appointed, the Trustee is able to remove the Manager if the Manager does not retire, and may appoint another Manager. Unitholders in the Fund will not be liable to pay money to any person as a result of the insolvency of the Fund. In the event of the Fund being wound up or put into liquidation, any tax assets created may need to be written off. The creditors of the Fund (including the Administration Manager, Manager and the Trustee) will rank ahead of the claims of Unitholders. Unitholders in the Fund will rank equally amongst each other.

CHANGES TO INVESTMENT POLICYThe Manager and the Trustee may change the investment policy for the Fund where the Unitholders have been given one month’s prior notice and the opportunity to withdraw their Units before the variation takes effect. The investment policy change may only take effect once all such Redemption Requests have been actioned. Alternatively, the Manager may change the investment policy for the Fund where the variation has been approved by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Unitholders of the Fund.

CHANGES TO FEES AND CHARGESTwo months’ notice to all Unitholders of the Fund is required for any change to the basis of the Administration Fees and Management Fees for the Fund within the maximum fees and three months’ notice to all Unitholders of the Fund is required for any change to the basis of the Trustee’s fees for the Fund within the maximum fees, as detailed on page 12. Any change outside of the maximum fees requires the consent of the Unitholders of the Fund by Extraordinary Resolution.

CHANGES TO THE TRUST DEED AND ESTABLISHMENT DEEDThe Trustee and Manager may make an amendment to the Trust Deed for the Fund where such an amendment is:

• in the Trustee’s opinion necessary to correct a manifest error or the amendment is of a formal or technical nature;• in the Trustee’s opinion is necessary or desirable for the more convenient, economical or advantageous working, management or administration of the Fund or to safeguard or enhance the interests of the Fund or the Unitholders of the Fund, and is not, or not likely to become materially prejudicial to the general interests of all Unitholders of the Fund;• authorised by an Extraordinary Resolution of Unitholders of the Fund;• after a change in any law affecting unit trusts, required to the Trust Deed to make any provision of the Trust Deed consistent with such law; or• in the opinion of the Manager and the Trustee, necessary to enable the Fund to remain a PIE.

An Extraordinary Resolution can only be passed by a 75% majority of the relevant Unitholders voting at a meeting.

In addition, the Manager can amend the definition of “Authorised Investments” for the Fund where the Manager determines that it is in the interests of the Unitholders in the Fund to do so, it gives notice of its intention to vary the definition and Unitholders holding 10% or more of the total Units on issue have not given notice that they disapprove of the proposed amendment within 21 days of the Manager’s notice to vary the definition.

If Unitholders holding 10% or more of the total Units on issue in the Fund disapprove the proposed amendment and require a meeting, no amendment shall be made and the Manager shall forthwith convene a meeting of Unitholders to consider the amendment, which will only be made if it is authorised by an Extraordinary Resolution.

OTHER CHANGESWe may change the minimum investment amount, the minimum amount or value of Units that must be held by a Unitholder, or the minimum value of Units that can be redeemed. See the “How do I cash in my investment?” section set out on page 19 for details. We may also change the frequency of Valuation Days and the period of notice before a Valuation Day for giving Redemption Requests or for applying for Units.

TERMINATION OF THE FUNDThe Fund will terminate on 18 November 2086. The Fund may be terminated earlier by the relevant Unitholders passing an Ordinary Resolution or where we give not less than thirty days’ notice to the Trustee and the relevant Unitholders.

HOW DO I CASH IN MY INVESTMENT? 11REDEMPTION OF UNITSYou can invest for any period although Units are only redeemable on a Valuation Day.

If you wish to withdraw from the Fund, you must give us written notice or electronic communication of your wish to withdraw (a “Redemption Request”). There is a Redemption Form enclosed with this Investment Statement and a copy is also available on our website – www.elevationcapital.co.nz. The Redemption Request, which is irrevocable, will be actioned with effect from the first Valuation Day following the day on which we receive the Redemption Request. We may in our sole discretion redeem Units on an earlier Valuation Day.

After redeeming your Units, we must pay you the Redemption Price of your Units within 7 Business Days of the relevant Valuation Day, but subject to our right to defer redemption in certain circumstances (refer to “Suspension and Deferral of Redemptions” under the heading “What Returns Will I Get?” set out on page 14). Redemptions will only be paid to the bank account that you nominate on your application form, unless you have otherwise advised us in writing. We may fix the minimum number or value of Units that may be redeemed. At the date of this Investment Statement, the minimum value of Units which can be redeemed is NZ$1,000 for the Fund (providing the balance remains above the minimum investment value of NZ$5,000). We may vary the minimum value of Units that may be redeemed from time to time at our discretion.

UNITHOLDERS CAN TRANSFER THEIR INVESTMENTSubject to our consent, you can transfer all or part of your investment to another party free of any charge. The minimum value of Units that can be transferred is NZ$1,000 providing the balance remains above the minimum investment value of NZ$5,000. We may vary the minimum value of Units that may be transferred from time to time at our discretion. To transfer Units, you must use a security transfer form or a form that we have approved. The transferee may be required to provide identification under the Financial Transactions Reporting Act 1996.

A transfer is complete as soon as the new investor is recorded on the register of Unitholders. There is no established secondary market for the trade of Units. This means that if you want to sell your Units, we will be the most likely buyer. It will be difficult for you to find a third party who wishes to purchase Units without first contacting us. A transfer may be treated as a withdrawal for PIE tax purposes. We have the right to decline a transfer of Units in the Fund if it would result in the loss of PIE status for the Fund.

TERMINATIONIf the Fund is terminated (as detailed above), all the Investments of the Fund will be liquidated and, after payment of all creditors of the Fund, the remaining moneys will be distributed to the Unitholders pro rata to the number of Units they hold.

“INDEPENDENT THINKING - DISCIPLINED INVESTING”

Independent Thinking [In-de-pend-ent Think-ing] ind pend nt THiNkiNG verb Is essential to long term investment success. We are often contrarian and do not pay attention to index compositions when making investment decisions. We believe that when you’re several thousand miles away from Wall Street in a different nation, it’s easier to be independent and buy the things that other people are selling, and sell the things that other people are buying. We also believe that cash is sometimes the

most attractive investment.

Disciplined Investing [Dis-ci-plined In-vest-ing] disciplin d inves ting verb

The market presents opportunities every day, but disciplined investing is as much about the opportunities you do not take. Our investments are premised on the

concept of “Margin of Safety” which we believe reduces risk.
