Table 1 Example of annual fees and costs for the Fund
This table gives an example of how the fees and costs of the Fund can affect your investment over a one year period. You should use this table to compare this Fund with other managed investment products.
EXAMPLE: BALANCE OF $50,000 WITH A CONTRIBUTION OF $5,000 DURING THE YEAR
Contribution Fee Nil For every additional $5,000 you put in, you will be charged $0.
PLUS Management Costs 3.79% And, for every $50,000 you have in the Fund you will be charged $1,895 each year.
EQUALS Cost of Fund If you had an investment of $50,000 at the beginning of the year and you put an additional $5,000 in during that year then for that year, you would be charged fees of: $1,895 – $2,084.
What it costs you will depend on the fees you negotiate.
Transactional and operational costs

As disclosed in the Fund’s Additional Information Document dated 29 September 2017 (AID), transactional and operational costs are disclosed based on amounts paid in the previous financial year and in any year will differ depending on the investment activity of the Fund.

CFM wishes to disclose that the total transactional and operational costs of the Fund for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 were 0.11% of the net assets of the Fund (e.g., $55 for every $50,000 of net assets). If the buy/sell spread applied is not sufficient to cover the Fund’s total transactional and operational costs, the balance of the costs will be paid out of the Fund’s assets.

If the buy/sell spread applied exceeds the Fund’s transactional and operational costs, the balance of the buy/sell spread will be retained by the Fund. The deficit of transactional and operational costs not covered by the Fund’s buy/sell spread for the financial year ending 30 June 2023 was 0.10% of the net asset value of the Fund (e.g., $50 for every $50,000 of net assets).

The relevant part of the AID should be read accordingly.

It is based on estimated performance of 8.9% p.a., using the annualised 30-year performance of the All Ordinaries Accumulation Index. The All Ordinaries Accumulation Index is considered a reasonable proxy, given its 30-year history takes into account years of low (and negative) performance.
  2. Of the Fund’s net asset value. This amount will depend on the Fund’s investment activity.

CFM wishes to advise that the Fund will not pay a September quarter distribution. Distributions from the Fund have historically fluctuated significantly, and we expect this will also be the case moving forward. While the return in any period is based on a combination of income and capital gains (both realised and unrealised), we only distribute realised profits. The gains made in the September quarter were mostly unrealised and therefore not distributed.

Please refer to Section 2.5 of the Product Disclosure Statement for more information on distributions.

PROPOSED CONSTITUTION AMENDMENTS TO FACILITATE ADOPTION OF THE ATTRIBUTION MANAGED INVESTMENT TRUST (AMIT) REGIME

NOTICE PURSUANT TO SECTION601GCA OF THE CORPORATIONS ACT

Cromwell Phoenix Opportunities Fund (ARSN 602 776 536) (“Trust”) is eligible to be an Attribution Managed Investment Trust (“AMIT”) and to apply the new income tax regime for managed investment trusts that was recently enacted under the Tax Laws Amendment (New Tax System for Managed Investment Trusts) Act 2016 (Cth)(“AMIT regime”).  The key feature under the AMIT regime is unit holders are taxed on income from the Trust attributed to them by Cromwell Funds Management Limited (“CFM”) (ABN 63 114 782 777) on a fair and reasonable basis.  Under the current taxation rules under Division 6 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth) unit holders who are presently entitled to trust income are subject to income tax on their proportionate share of the taxable income of the Trust.  The potential benefits of adopting the AMIT regime are outlined further below.  An election by CFM for the Trust to be an AMIT is irrevocable.

As the responsible entity of the Trust, CFM is yet to decide whether the Trust should elect into the new AMIT regime.  CFM has published this notice under notional subsection 601GCA(3) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) as modified by ASIC Corporations (Attribution Managed Investment Trust) Instrument 2016/489 to inform unit holders of proposed modifications to be made to the Constitution of the Trust (“Constitution”) to allow the Trust to operate under the AMIT regime if an election is made.  CFM will decide whether to elect into the AMIT regime based on the best interests of the unit holders as a whole.  If an election is made, the Trust will inform unit holders accordingly.

A summary of the effect of the proposed modifications to the Constitution is set out below.

Reasons for proposed amendments to the Constitution

If implemented, the proposed amendments would allow CFM to choose to adopt the AMIT regime to the Trust. CFM believes the potential benefits of operating under the AMIT regime include:

  • Greater certainty associated with the AMIT regimes attribution of taxable income to unit holders compared to the current “present entitlement” tax regime.
  • Greater certainty as to the tax status of the Trust and its entitlement to certain tax concessions including deemed “fixed trust” status for tax purposes.
    Reduced potential for double taxation by allowing for cost base adjustments where distributions are less than the taxable income assessed to the unit holder.
  • Preservation of the character of the income for income tax purposes in the hands of the unit holder.
  • Provision of the ability to reconcile “under” and “over” estimations of net income of the Trust to allow adjustments in the year they are discovered rather than the approach under the current law that requires amendments to unit holders previously lodged income tax returns.

As the AMIT regime has only recently been enacted, there may be some uncertainty regarding certain aspects of the AMIT regimes operation in the initial years.

How to contact us if you wish to respond to this notice

CFM will proceed to modify the Constitution as proposed on or after the date which is 7 days from the date of this notice unless it receives requisitions to call and arrange a meeting of unit holders of the Trust to consider and vote on a special resolution to modify the Constitution as proposed from unit holders with at least 5% of the votes that may be cast on the resolution.

Unit holders are not required to respond to this notice, but should a unit holder wish to request a meeting of unit holders of the Trust to vote on the amendments to the Constitution as proposed in this notice, the unit holder must send a request to CFM by 5pm (AEST) on Friday, 24 March 2017.  A written request may be sent by email to invest@cromwell.com.au.

CFM will modify the Constitution by executing a supplemental deed to the Constitution and lodging it with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, unless a meeting of unit holders is requested by unit holders with at least 5% of the votes that may be cast on the resolution to call and arrange to hold a meeting by 5pm (AEST) on Friday, 24 March 2017.

Effect of amendments to the Constitution

Set out below is a summary of the effect of the proposed modifications to the Constitution.  CFM as responsible entity of the Trust reasonably considers that the modifications are necessary for or incidental to the Trust being able to be operated in a manner permitted by the AMIT regime as an attribution managed investment trust with the CFM as its trustee.

Summary of Amendments to the Constitution of Cromwell Phoenix Opportunities Fund
Powers in relation to AMIT A new clause 15.7 will be inserted in the Constitution to ensure the Responsible Entity has all powers necessary to adopt into the AMIT regime including doing all things necessary to give effect to the proposed clause 30A.
Recoveries – Holders’ liabilities A new paragraph (e) will be inserted to clause 29.1 to clarify that any fees, Taxes and costs incurred in relation to Attribution Amounts are the liability of each unit holder.
Distributions – Application A new clause 30.1A will be inserted to “switch off” clause 30 when the Trust elects to be an AMIT, in particular it “switches off” the distribution and present entitlement requirements when the Trust is an AMIT. Clause 30 is relevant to Division 6 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth).
AMIT A new clause 30A will be inserted which contains the general powers for the Responsible Entity to comply with the new AMIT rules.

Clause 30A.1 provides the Responsible Entity with the discretion to choose to apply the AMIT rules.

Clause 30A.2 determines the period that the trust is an AMIT.

Clause 30A.3 allows the Responsible Entity to attribute “Attribution Amounts” (as defined) in accordance with the Constitution, this is a feature of the new AMIT rules. The definition utilises consistent terminology with the applicable Tax Act (as defined) to allow flexibility to attribute amounts of different character.

Clause 30A.3(b) provides a discretion for the Responsible Entity to distribute any amount of income or capital of the Trust to unit holders.

Clause 30A.3(c) provides that any taxes paid or remitted on behalf of a unit holder are taken to be made for that unit holder.

Clause 30A.3(d) confers specific powers on the Responsible Entity to issue and amend “AMMA Statements” (as defined) to unit holders.

Clause 30A.3(e) facilitates the exercise of the Responsible Entity’s powers in relation to “unders and overs” as permitted in the AMIT regime.

Clause 30A.3(f) limits the Responsible Entity’s liability to the unit holders in making choices and complying with the AMIT rules.

Unit holder Objections Proposed clause 30A.4 provides steps to ensure that should a unit holder object to an attribution as afforded under the AMIT regime the unit holder must give notice and provide information to the Responsible Entity and the unit holder must meet all costs or liabilities incurred by the Responsible Entity associated with the process of acknowledging the objection and assessing the impact on other unit holders.

Further, each unit holder indemnifies the Responsible Entity for any tax payable by the Responsible Entity in complying with the AMIT rules that reasonably relates to the unit holder.

Definitions Incidental amendments will include inserting into clause 1.1 specific definitions relevant for the AMIT regime in Clause 1.1. The definitions of these specific terms have been drafted consistently with the Tax Act to preserve the intended flexibility of the legislation.
