INVESTMENT OVERVIEW

The Australian Masters Corporate Bond Fund Series provides investors with the opportunity to gain access to quality corporate bonds, not usually available to retail investors. The Funds provide exposure to a diversified portfolio of bonds issued in Australia by Australian companies, well known multinational companies and Australian subsidiaries of multinational companies.
To date there have been five issues in the Australian Masters Corporate Bond Fund Series (AMCBF), with the AMCBF No 5 raising
over $53.8 million in February this year. This followed the successful raising of the AMCBF No 1 which raised $54.3 million in
June 2008, AMCBF No 2 which raised $35.5 million in September 2008, the AMCBF No 3 which raised $41.5 million in February 2009 and the AMCBF No 4 which raised $72.3 million. All five funds have been invested, and funds 1, 2 and 3 have begun paying fully franked dividends.
Dixon Advisory & Superannuation Services Pty Limited, the Manager to the Companies, believes that the fixed interest market for corporate bonds continues to provide some of the most attractive risk adjusted returns available for medium term investors.
The corporate bond market is not a market retail investors can normally access due to significant barriers to entry and difficulties in obtaining a diversified exposure.

 

STRUCTURE

The structure is simple and Companies have no gearing. Each Fund's investment objective is to establish a portfolio of bonds that generates a high rate of income and that minimises costs. The final bonds selected for inclusion in each Company's portfolio is dependant upon market conditions at the time of investment and is selected by the Manager following the closing of the offer.

 

DIVIDENDS

The Funds all intend to pay regular franked dividends and to conduct a full capital return to shareholders upon maturity of the underlying corporate bonds.
