The cap of 0.020% per annum of the net asset value of the Macquarie Master Balanced Fund relating to the reimbursement of administrative expenses will no longer apply effective 7 August 2024.

The constitution of the Fund allows properly incurred administrative expenses to be recovered directly from the Fund. Fund expenses may include custody fees, registry costs, audit, accounting and tax fees, postage, and printing costs.

The approach to the reimbursement of administrative expenses from the assets of the Macquarie Master Capital Stable Fund will be changed effective 7 August 2024.

The administrative expenses reimbursement cap of 0.020% per annum of the net asset value of the Fund will no longer apply.

We will not seek to recover administrative expenses from the assets of the Fund. Abnormal expenses may continue to be recovered from the Fund.

Expenses charged by underlying funds will still be indirectly borne by the Fund through the value of the Fund’s holding in the underlying fund. As underlying fund expenses are included in the indirect costs for the Fund, it is likely that the indirect costs will be higher once the cap is removed.
