Our thoughts• We firmly believe we own some of
Australia’s best listed growth stocks• We are confident that the executives
of our companies will make the right “macro” decisions
• We believe it important to focus on our companies’ achievements rather than on the mood of the market
• Our best “value-add” is our extensive company visit schedule and networks
Our thoughts• The two main components of our
investments success are the stock selection and portfolio composition
• The PIE regime will be beneficial as we can more actively manage portfolio composition
• Our stock selection processes have not and will not change
• We continue to see plenty of interesting opportunities
• What is it?– Legislation, commencing 1 October
2007, changes the way managed funds (including Listed Investment Companies) are taxed
– Removes tax disadvantages to those investing in managed funds and leaves the investor in the same (or better) position whether they invest in equities directly or via a managed fund
Portfolio Investment Entity Regime
• Key Benefits to Barramundi:– Barramundi no longer taxed on capital gains
on sale of investments held on revenue account (previously held by Barra Nursery Limited)
– Distributions to shareholders will be excluded from their income tax returns
– As a PIE, there will no longer be a restriction on the distribution of capital gains to shareholders
– The ability to simplify the legal and reporting structure of the Group (through amalgamation) which will result in lower costs
Portfolio Investment Entity Regime
– Certain Australian equities will attract tax on a flat 5% of opening market values (primarily those stocks not listed on the ASX/S&P All Ordinaries Index – top 500 listed stocks)
– Dividends and any capital gains on these stocks will no longer be taxable
– Where gains on these stocks are > 5%, the fixed tax payable will represent a tax saving
– Where gains are <5%, the fixed tax payable will represent additional tax
– At 31 August 2007 Barramundi had 16% of the portfolio invested in ‘caught’ Australian equities
Foreign Investment Fund Regime
