The funds affected by these changes The following funds are affected by the changes to the MLC Inflation Plus portfolios’ strategy. These funds appear on MLC’s platforms, in addition to a number of external platforms: MLC Inflation Plus Conservative Portfolio MLC Inflation Plus Moderate Portfolio MLC Inflation Plus Assertive Portfolio MLC Wholesale Inflation Plus Conservative Portfolio MLC Wholesale Inflation Plus Moderate Portfolio MLC Wholesale Inflation Plus Assertive Portfolio

What’s changed? We've removed Capital International, Inc (Capital) from the MLC Inflation Plus portfolios. Capital has managed the global emerging markets strategy for MLC since 2011. The portfolios now access emerging markets through our derivatives strategy using index futures. We’re maintaining the exposure to emerging markets and we’ve moved to 100% shares (from 50% fixed income and 50% shares).

Why we’re making these changes We actively manage our portfolios and work constantly to improve them. Capital’s investment process and philosophy have remained strong since we appointed them as a global shares manager in 1985. A key aspect of how we manage MLC Inflation Plus is our tight risk control.  Capital's approach to risk management is different to the approach we prefer for MLC Inflation Plus. For now, investing through derivatives allows us to flexibly and cost effectively make changes to our emerging markets exposure. However, we continue to research potential emerging markets managers.

How may clients benefit? These changes mean our portfolios will maintain an emerging markets exposure in a more cost effective manner. Emerging markets plays a return-seeking and diversification role in our portfolios. Due to the higher risks of investing in emerging markets, long-term return potential is higher than developed markets. Emerging markets has been an increasing contributor to global GDP relative to developed markets. Source: JANA Corporate Investment Services Limited and MSCI.

Emerging markets – a small but important allocation For now, the allocation to emerging markets will be moving to “Currency and derivative strategies” on the Fund Profile Tool. Target asset allocation: MLC Inflation Plus portfolios in MasterKey Super Fundamentals at 31 January 2017 MLC Inflation Plus: Conservative (%) Moderate (%) Assertive (%) Australian shares - 2 Defensive Australian shares 3 Global shares (unhedged)  - Global shares (hedged) Defensive global shares (unhedged) 12 20 37.5 Global private assets (hedged) 4 5 Emerging markets strategy (unhedged) 1 Global property securities (hedged) Enhanced cash 29 17 10 Australian non-government bonds (short maturity) 27 Australian inflation-linked bonds 6 Global bank loans Insurance-related investments (hedged) Low correlation strategy 8 Real return strategy (hedged) 9 11 14 Currency and derivative strategies 4.5 Borrowings Total 100% Source: JANA Corporate Investment Services Limited.

Are there fee implications? There’s a negligible change to overall fees from these changes. The fees relating to our emerging markets exposure will move from being a management fee to an indirect cost. The costs of investing in derivatives for emerging markets exposure are considered indirect costs. Investment fees are available in the Fund Profile Tool on mlc.com.au and mlcinvestmenttrust.com.au For further information regarding fees please refer to the product PDS.
