1. Key information summary

Description and investment objectiveRisk indicator

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a complementary

and enhanced risk / return outcome compared to traditional listed property

investments.

It aims to generate an average annual long-term return of about 8% (before tax

and after all fees, charges and costs) over rolling 7 year periods from a combination

of income distributions and capital growth.

The Wholesale Portfolio, in which the Fund invests, may borrow to invest in more

property or to develop property already held by the Wholesale Portfolio.

This Fund may not be suitable for all investors

due to the risks of volatility of returns, gearing

and concentration of investments. If you

are unsure, you should seek advice from

a professional adviser.

2 Because the Fund was established in January 2019, the risk indicator has been calculated using a mix of actual returns of the Wholesale Portfolio,

the Private Land and Property Portfolio, for the period of 1 October 2017 to 31 March 2020, and historical returns obtained from the Property Council/IPD

New Zealand Property Index for the period of 1 January 2015 to 30 June 2017. Actual Fund returns were used for the remaining period to 30 September

2020. As a result, the risk indicator may provide a less reliable indication of the potential future volatility of the Fund. The Property Council/IPD New

Zealand Property Index is not a securities index, but we have used it in the risk indicator calculation because there is no appropriate securities index

or peer group index available for the Fund. We consider the Property Council/IPD New Zealand Property Index allows the risk indicator to reflect the

potential future volatility of the Fund, although not as reliably as if actual returns were available for the entire period.

What is this?

This is a managed investment scheme.

Your money will be pooled with other investors’ money

and invested in various investments.

Booster Investment Management Limited (Booster,

Manager, We or Us) will invest your money and charge

you a fee for its services. The returns you receive are

dependent on the investment decisions of Booster and the

performance of the investments.

The value of those investments may go up or down.

The types of investments and the fees you will be charged

are described in this document.

What will your money be invested in?

The Private Land and Property Fund (Fund) is listed on the

NZX Main Board (with the code PLP). The Fund provides

investors with an opportunity to obtain an investment

exposure primarily in a specialised portfolio of directly

held, unlisted, agricultural and horticultural land and other

property investments in New Zealand, which may be

supplemented with investments in industrial, commercial

and retail properties (including land, buildings, bearer

plants1, and plant and equipment). The Fund obtains its

property exposure by buying units in a separate wholesale

property fund managed by Booster – the Private Land and

Property Portfolio (Wholesale Portfolio) established under

the Booster Investment Scheme. Details of the property

held by the Wholesale Portfolio can be found in the

‘Other Material Information’ document located at

www.booster.co.nz/booster-investments/private-land-

and-property-fund.

3Calculated daily as a percentage of the net asset value of the Fund.

The Fund may also incur interest and borrowing costs related to gearing undertaken by the Wholesale Portfolio.

For more information about the fees charged, see Section 5 – What are the fees?

Who manages the Private Land and Property

Fund?

Booster is the manager of the Fund. You’ll learn more about

us in Section 7 – Who is involved?

What are the returns?

The return on your investment comes from income

distributions made by the Fund, and from any change in

the Fund’s unit price. The unit price changes as net income

is earned (prior to being distributed), and as property is

revalued.

The Manager will aim to pay a quarterly distribution

to investors of any net cash income received from the

Wholesale Portfolio (after allowing for expenses). Eligible

investors can choose to reinvest their distributions by

participating in the Distribution Reinvestment Plan.

See Section 2 – How does this investment work? for more

information.

How can you get your money out?

You can make a request to Booster to withdraw some or

all of your investment in the Fund at any time. Withdrawals

from the Fund will only be processed on the first business

day of the month. There are minimum withdrawal amount

requirements and you must either maintain the amount that

is set as the Fund’s minimum on-going balance or withdraw

in full. If you make a withdrawal request directly with

Booster, a withdrawal fee will normally apply. See Section

5 – What are the fees?

Because the Fund invests in the Wholesale Portfolio, whose

investments by nature have relatively long sale timeframes,

there may be some circumstances in which processing of

withdrawal requests is delayed or suspended.

To mitigate this risk, the Fund and the Wholesale Portfolio

are managed to provide various sources of limited liquidity

for withdrawals.

Units in the Fund are quoted on the NZX Main Board, so

you can also sell your investment on the exchange if there

are interested buyers, in addition to being able to redeem

your investment directly with the Manager. The amount

you get may be less than the amount you invested.

We’ll explain how you can withdraw your investment in

Section 2 – How does this investment work?

How will your investment be taxed?

The Fund is a listed portfolio investment entity (Listed PIE)

for tax purposes.

The amount of tax that the Fund pays is calculated at the

rate of 28%. The Fund intends to pay a distribution on

a quarterly basis, which will include imputation credits

representing the tax it has paid. For a New Zealand resident

individual or trustee investor (other than a unit trust) that

has a marginal tax rate that is lower than the rate of tax

payable by the Fund, you may be able to apply the surplus

imputation credits against other income on which you are

required to pay tax.

See Section 6 – What taxes will you pay? for more

information.

Where can you find more key information?

Booster is required to publish quarterly updates for the

Fund. The updates show the returns, and the total fees

actually charged to investors, during the previous year.

The latest fund updates are available at

www.booster.co.nz. The Manager will also give you

copies of those documents on request.

Private Land and Property Fund4
2. How does this investment work?

The Fund has been established within the Booster

Investment Scheme 2 (Scheme), a managed investment

scheme that is registered under the Financial Markets

Conduct Act 2013.

Why invest

The key benefits of investing in the Fund include:

• Access to unlisted direct property investments.

Your money is combined with other investors’ money,

to give you access to a specialised investment

portfolio of unlisted New Zealand land and property

investments. This is achieved by investing in the

Wholesale Portfolio which owns the property directly.

• Diversification. Direct property returns have a low

correlation with returns from other asset classes over

the long term, helping to reduce the overall volatility

in returns when combined with an existing investment

strategy. Agriculture and horticulture property also

provide diversification benefits when combined with

other traditional property investment types such as

commercial, industrial, retail, retirement villages and

residential.

• Ability to trade on-market. Units in the Fund can be

bought and sold on the NZX Main Board like shares in

a company, provided there are interested sellers and

buyers.

• Unlisted property investments have lower return

volatility. While the Fund is listed on the NZX Main

Board, it purchases units in the Wholesale Portfolio,

which invests directly in unlisted property. Unlisted

direct property investments are by their nature revalued

less frequently than listed property investments, which

are typically priced and traded daily in an active market

resulting in higher price volatility over time. Investors

in this Fund ordinarily have the ability to either redeem

units monthly at its unit price via the Manager (which

is not subject to listed market volatility), or sell on the

NZX at a price determined by the market. Having two

options to either redeem or sell your units may give

you an opportunity to obtain a better price per unit

than you would if you could only redeem at unit price

or sell on-market.

• Combination of cash income and capital growth.

The Wholesale Portfolio receives regular rental income

from its leased property, and income from its contracts

to supply crops produced from land (which is passed

to the Fund by distribution), as well as offering the

potential for capital growth.

• An inflation hedge. The income derived from

underlying leased property generally has an increase

linked to inflation or above. This means both the

income and underlying asset value of property tends

to appreciate with inflation. This helps to preserve the

real value of your investment.

• Experience. The investments are managed by

experienced professionals with support from industry

specialists. Further details of our experienced team can

be found in the ‘Other Material Information’ document

on our website www.booster.co.nz.

• Knowledge. We keep you up to date about your

investment with regular reporting and you can easily

access information about your investment online.

• Financial advice. You have access to a financial adviser

who will be able to help you with your investment

decisions.

• Tax benefits. Tax is paid by the Fund at the rate of 28%.

Imputation credits on distributions allow those

New Zealand resident individual or trustee investors

(other than a unit trust) on lower tax rates to apply

surplus imputation credits against other taxable income

they may have. Investors should also receive an indirect

tax timing benefit from the depreciation the Wholesale

Portfolio claims on its property.

How it works

Booster Investment Scheme 2 (Scheme) is a managed

investment scheme established as a trust governed by a

Trust Deed, which is an agreement between the Manager

(Booster) and the Supervisor (Public Trust) describing

how the Scheme works and our responsibilities. Booster

is responsible for managing the Scheme and the Fund

and Public Trust supervises us to make sure we meet

our responsibilities and obligations. Public Trust has also

appointed a custodian to hold the investments on behalf

of investors. This structure is designed to ensure that

your interests are always put first.

Table of contents

Private Land and Property Fund5
When you invest your money in the Fund, you receive

‘units’. ‘Units’ represent your share of the investments in the

Fund. The ‘unit price’ shows what your share is worth at any

time. If the Fund’s investment value goes up, your units will

be worth more. If the value goes down your units will be

worth less. The Fund’s unit prices are published on

Booster’s website at www.booster.co.nz/booster-

investments/private-land-and-property-fund.

The return on your investment comes from any distributions

made by the Fund and any change in the value of your units.

The Manager will aim to pay quarterly distributions

to investors of any net cash income received from the

Wholesale Portfolio (after allowing for any other expenses).

The amount you receive will depend on the distributable

income of the Fund, the number of units you hold in the

Fund on the Record Date of the distribution and the

amount per unit to be distributed by the Fund. The

distribution amount can be reinvested into the Fund to

purchase further units or paid to your designated account

(your custodial account or nominated bank account if

no custodial account). For further information about

reinvesting distributions, refer to the section below titled

‘Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP)’.

Making investments

How do you invest?

You can invest in the Fund online by applying directly to

Booster at www.booster.co.nz/booster-investments/

private-land-and-property-fund, or through your financial

adviser, by completing and submitting an application form.

The application form is available by contacting Booster, or

from your financial adviser. Units are issued by the Fund at

its unit price.

Alternatively, you can buy units in the Fund on market at the

quoted price through an NZX Participant (such as a broker).

See www.nzx.com/services/market-participants for a list

of current NZX Participants. The quoted price on the NZX

Main Board may differ from the unit price provided by the

Fund and may be traded at a discount or premium to the

unit price, depending upon the availability of buyers and

sellers, their respective view of the underlying value of the

investments or their expected return from the Fund (refer

also to the Trading risk outlined on page 9).

In addition to the above, eligible investors can choose

to reinvest their distributions by participating in the

Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP). For further

information about DRP, refer to the section below titled

‘Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP)’.

Other funds managed by Booster (Booster Managed

Funds) also invest in the Fund, and are able to invest in

and withdraw from the Fund at any time (other than when

the Fund or Wholesale Portfolio has excess or insufficient

liquidity and has placed a restriction on all applications or

withdrawals).

The Booster Managed Funds may also trade in Fund units on

the NZX Main Board. For more information on how potential

conflicts of interest are managed see the ‘Other Material

Information’ document available at www.booster.co.nz/

booster-investments/private-land-and-property-fund.

When can you invest?

Investing by applying directly to Booster or through your

financial adviser

While you can apply to invest in the Fund at any time, new

units in the Fund will generally only be issued to investors

(other than Booster Managed Funds) once a month, on the

first business day of each month. Booster Managed Funds

will be issued units in the Fund as and when applications

are received. Whilst units would generally be issued once

a month, the Manager reserves the discretion to issue units

intra-month to investors.

Applications received up to 10:00am on the first business

day of the month will be processed on the first business

day of that month.

Any money received by Booster with an application to

invest in the Fund from an investor will be held in the

Fund’s application account until the new units are issued.

While the Fund will generally accept new investments

from investors once a month, as the Fund is invested in

an unlisted wholesale property fund, Booster reserves the

right to refuse to accept or to reduce an investor’s initial or

further investment application at its discretion. This may

include if the Fund or Wholesale Portfolio is carrying excess

liquidity and does not expect to have an opportunity to

invest application money in new investments within

60 days.

Buying units in the Fund on the NZX Main Board

(code PLP)

You can buy or sell units in the Fund on the market at any

time, provided there are interested sellers and buyers.

How much can you invest?

The minimum initial investment in the Fund is $1,000. While

you’re not required to make any further investments, you

can invest more directly with Booster at any time by making

additional investments (minimum $500), or buying units

on market.

While the maximum amount you invest is up to you, Booster

reserves the right to refuse to accept or reduce an investor’s

initial, further or existing investment in the Fund in order

to ensure that the Fund maintains its PIE eligibility status for

tax purposes. For more information, see the ‘Other Material

Information’ document available on our website at

www.booster.co.nz/booster-investments/private-land-

and-property-fund.

Booster may waive or vary the minimum investment

amounts at any time.

How do you pay?

If you are investing by applying directly to Booster or

through your financial adviser, you can make investments

by direct credit, direct debit or any other method

acceptable to Booster. Cash deposits will not be accepted.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP)

Investors who are a resident in New Zealand and have an

address in New Zealand on the Fund register are eligible

to reinvest their distributions by participating in the DRP.

As participation in the DRP is voluntary, eligible investors

are free to opt-in or opt-out of the DRP at any time with

prior notice to the Manager (for direct investors) or Link

Market Services Limited (Unit Registrar) (for NZX investors).

Further information on the DRP can be found in the ‘Other

Material Information’ document located at

www.booster.co.nz/booster-investments/private-land-

and-property-fund.

Selling your units on the NZX Main Board

Units in the Fund are quoted on the NZX Main Board, so

you can sell your investment through an NZX Participant

(such as a broker) or adviser if there are interested buyers.

Periodically, we can request (and require) investors whose

holdings are below the required minimum value to increase

Private Land and Property Fund6
their holdings, sell their units on the NZX, or redeem

their units directly with the Manager. We can also restrict

transfers where the transfer could result in the Fund losing

its PIE status.

In order to trade quoted units, you will need to have a

Common Shareholder Number (CSN), an Authorisation

Code (FIN) and a relationship with an NZX Participant.

The information below at ‘Withdrawing your investments’

does not apply if you are selling your units on market.

Withdrawing your investments

This section does not apply to the sale of the units on

the NZX

How do you withdraw?

You can request a withdrawal from the Fund, by contacting

us or by completing the appropriate withdrawal form

available by contacting Booster, or through your financial

adviser.

Units are redeemed at the Fund’s unit price.

When can you withdraw?

You can apply to withdraw from the Fund at any time.

Withdrawals from the Fund (other than Booster Managed

Funds) will only be processed on the first business day of

the month. Withdrawal requests from Booster Managed

Funds will be processed as and when they are received.

Withdrawal requests that have been made to and accepted

by Booster will normally be processed within five business

days of the first business day of the month, but could

take longer, depending on available liquidity to pay the

requested withdrawals.

Withdrawals received up to 10:00am on the first business

day of the month will be processed on the first business

day of that month.

Because the Fund invests in the Wholesale Portfolio, whose

investments by nature have relatively long sale timeframes,

there are some circumstances where we may delay or

suspend the payment of withdrawals (including for Booster

Managed Funds) if we believe that making payments is not

practicable or in the best interests of all investors in the

Fund. This includes where we consider that the redemption

price cannot be calculated in a fair manner, or there is

insufficient access to liquidity in the Fund (which excludes

any income in the Fund yet to be distributed to investors) to

satisfy a withdrawal request. To mitigate this risk, the Fund

and Wholesale Portfolio are managed to provide various

sources of limited liquidity for withdrawals. See Section 4

– What are the Risks of Investing? for further details.

How much can you withdraw?

The minimum withdrawal amount is $500.

Booster may charge a withdrawal fee for making a

withdrawal of more than $50,000 from the Fund. See

Section 5 – What are the fees? for more information.

You’ll need to maintain the minimum on-going balance of

$1,000 in the Fund after any withdrawal. If your withdrawal

request takes you below this amount, you will need to either

top up your investment back to the minimum balance,

or withdraw fully from the Fund. If your balance falls below

the minimum balance, Booster reserves the right to pay the

balance of your investment less any tax and fees to your

designated account (your custodial account or nominated

bank account if no custodial account), and your investment

in the Fund will end.

Booster may waive or vary the minimum withdrawal

amounts and the minimum on-going balance amount

at any time.

Private Land and Property Fund

Investment objective and strategy

• The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with

a complementary and enhanced risk / return outcome compared

to traditional listed property investments.

• It aims to generate average annual long-term returns of about 8% (before

tax and after all fees, charges and costs) over rolling 7 year periods from

a combination of income distributions and capital growth.

• The Fund aims to obtain an investment exposure primarily in a specialised

portfolio of directly held, unlisted agricultural and horticultural land and

property investments in New Zealand, which may be supplemented with

investments in industrial, commercial and retail properties.

• The Fund obtains its property exposure by buying units in the Wholesale

Portfolio.

• The Wholesale Portfolio, in which the Fund invests, may borrow to invest

in more property or to develop property already held. The level of gearing

can vary between 0-65% of the Wholesale Portfolio ’s asset value.

• The level of diversification of the Wholesale Portfolio’s property

investments is expected to broaden over time, but currently has a

concentration of property in the wine industry across multiple regions

of New Zealand.

Target investment mix

Risk indicator5

1234567

4A small proportion of cash for liquidity purposes may be held in future as the liquidity needs of investors are assessed over time.

5 Because the Fund was established in January 2019, the risk indicator has been calculated using a mix of actual returns of the Wholesale Portfolio,

the Private Land and Property Portfolio, for the period of 1 October 2017 to 31 March 2020, and historical returns obtained from the Property Council/IPD

New Zealand Property Index for the period of 1 January 2015 to 30 June 2017. Actual Fund returns were used for the remaining period to 30 September

2020. As a result, the risk indicator may provide a less reliable indication of the potential future volatility of the Fund. The Property Council/IPD New

Zealand Property Index is not a securities index, but we have used it in the risk indicator calculation because there is no appropriate securities index

or peer group index available for the Fund. We consider the Property Council/IPD New Zealand Property Index allows the risk indicator to reflect the

potential future volatility of the Fund, although not as reliably as if actual returns were available for the entire period.

Understanding the risk indicator

Managed funds in New Zealand must have a standard risk

indicator. The risk indicator is designed to help investors

understand the uncertainties both for loss and growth that

may affect their investment. You can compare funds using

the risk indicator.

4. What are the risks of investing?

The risk indicator for the Fund covered in this Product

Disclosure Statement can be found on page 2.

The risk indicator is rated from 1 (low) to 7 (high). The rating

reflects how much the value of the Fund’s assets goes up

and down (volatility). A higher risk generally means higher

potential returns over time, but more ups and downs along

the way.

Details of the property held by the Wholesale Portfolio can

be found in the ‘Other Material Information’ document on

our website www.booster.co.nz.

To help you clarify your own attitude to risk, you can seek

financial advice or work out your risk profile at

www.booster.co.nz/booster-investments/investment-

documents.

Note that even the lowest category does not mean a risk-

free investment, and there are other risks (described under

the heading “Other specific risks”) that are not captured by

this rating.

This risk indicator is not a guarantee of a Fund’s future

performance. The risk indicator is based on the returns

data for the five years to 30 September 2020. While risk

indicators are usually relatively stable, they do shift from

time to time.

You can see the most recent risk indicator in the latest

fund update for the Fund. Fund updates are published

each quarter on www.booster.co.nz.

We believe that the period of returns used to calculate

the risk ratings may not be representative of the average

Private Land and Property Fund8
a catastrophic event that permanently impairs the value

of the land or reduces the productive area of the land.

The climatic risks are mitigated as far as practical

by adoption of standard industry practices such

as securing sources of irrigation water, installation

of frost management, and proactive management of

the plants in response to weather forecast information.

The key mitigation benefit to investors is the

geographical diversification by owning land across

multiple locations across multiple regions which

reduces the impact of any one event.

• Property related risks. This is the risk that property

specific factors (other than the climatic/environmental

risks described above) may have a material impact

on both the valuation of the Wholesale Portfolio’s

investments and the income from those investments

for distribution to investors. These factors may include

the quality of the property, their geographical location,

changes to current and expected future income from

the property, uncertainty of outcome of development

projects, unforeseen capital or repairs and maintenance

expenditure, inadequate insurance or the occurrence

of uninsurable events (for example, standard industry

practice is to not insure the loss of bearer plants due

to the cost of insurance being prohibitively expensive),

reliance on key persons in managing the investments

(particularly where land is used for crop production),

disease, or drop in demand for the crop, quality and

financial standing of tenants or contracted service

providers, and material changes to the supply and

demand in land and property markets. While each

of these individual risks has a low risk of occurrence,

they may have a significant impact on the income

from an individual property or its value. We manage

these risks through active management of the land

and properties held by the Wholesale Portfolio, and

importantly by increasing the level of diversification

of the investments held by the Wholesale Portfolio.

• Liquidity and withdrawal risk. This risk applies in

relation to withdrawing units through Booster. Unlisted

property investments by nature have relatively long

sale timeframes. As a result, there is a risk that the

Wholesale Portfolio may be unable to sell a property

at the desired time to fully meet an investor’s

withdrawal request or that property may need to

be sold at a lower value than its assessed market

value in order to meet withdrawal requests. Booster

manages this risk by ensuring the Fund and Wholesale

Portfolio are managed to provide various sources

of limited liquidity for withdrawals, such as holding

a proportion of the Wholesale Portfolio’s assets in

cash to meet the expected liquidity requirements of

investors, access to an undrawn portion of a borrowing

facility in the Wholesale Portfolio (though this facility

is primarily available to implement the gearing

strategy, not to provide liquidity to investors), and by

applying a withdrawal fee that moderates demand

for withdrawals. In addition, the Wholesale Portfolio

may hold separable property titles in an area that the

Manager believes could be readily sold to meet liquidity

requirements if necessary without compromising the

investment objectives of the Wholesale Portfolio.

• Gearing and interest rate risk. This is the risk that

while borrowing by the Wholesale Portfolio may

enhance the potential for increases in returns,

adverse market conditions such as rising interest rates,

economic downturns/reduction in property values,

investment cycle for the Fund and therefore the risk

indicator shown may be different if calculated over longer

term investment periods.

General investment risks

Some of the things that may cause the Fund’s value to

move up and down, which affect the risk indicator, are:

• Market risk. This is the risk that the Fund experiences

losses due to factors that may adversely impact the

overall performance of financial markets and the

properties of the Wholesale Portfolio in which the Fund

invests, which in turn affects the amount or frequency

of distributions. These factors include, but are not

limited to, economic and regulatory conditions, political

events, environmental and technological issues.

• Concentration risk. This is the risk that the value of

the Fund’s investments falls more than the market as

a whole due to the Wholesale Portfolio’s investments

being concentrated in the property sector, or a

particular part of the property sector (e.g. currently

the wine sector), and the Fund having exposure to a

relatively small number of property investments, which

reduces the level of diversification. Booster intends the

Wholesale Portfolio to acquire additional investments

across other industries which will broaden the level of

diversification.

• Distribution risk. This is the risk that the Wholesale

Portfolio does not pay distributions to the Fund and

therefore the Fund is not able to pay a distribution

to its investors.

• Manager risk. This is the risk that the Fund

underperforms because of the way we manage

the Fund’s or the Wholesale Portfolio’s investments.

• Revaluation timing risk. This risk applies to the value

of units reflected in the Fund’s unit price issued by

Booster. This is the risk that the value of the property

may increase or decrease markedly following periodic

valuation updates due to a lack of continuous

assessment of value by an active/listed market. This

may mean the price of your units does not always

fully reflect an independent market assessment of the

value of the property on any given day and so, if you

withdraw your investment, you may receive more or

less than if the property had been independently valued

just prior to that withdrawal. To partly mitigate this risk,

Booster will review the valuation of property on at least

a quarterly basis, and, as far as practicable, the timing

of the independent review of property values will be

spread across the financial year.

Other specific risks

There are other factors, not already reflected in the risk

indicator that may significantly impact returns for investors.

• Climatic/environmental risk. This is the risk that

the annual return from the property or the value

of the property is adversely affected by climatic or

environmental events, such as drought, frost, hail,

excessive rainfall/ humidity, storms or earthquakes.

Extreme weather events that have a material impact

on crop yields are anticipated to occur every few years,

whilst events such as earthquakes that materially

impact the land are expected to be rare. The magnitude

of a climatic or environmental event can range from

a small reduction in harvest volumes to an extreme

event destroying the full crop for the year, through to

Private Land and Property Fund9
You will be charged fees for investing in the Fund. Fees are deducted from your investment and will reduce your returns.

If Booster invests in other funds, those funds may charge fees. The fees you pay will be charged in two ways:


regular charges (for example, annual fund charges). Small differences in these fees can have a big impact on your

investment over the long term;

•one-off fees (for example, the withdrawal fee).

5.What are the fees?

availability of credit/refinance of existing loans on

similar terms and conditions may lead to a reduction

in the net income of the Wholesale Portfolio, and

these circumstances may also give rise to a breach

of borrowing covenants, or affect the Wholesale

Portfolio’s ability to meet principal and/or interest

payments, or may lead to a forced sale of property in

the event the loan must be repaid. Booster takes this

into account by aiming to limit the amount of borrowing

so that total net borrowing costs do not exceed total

net returns, by fixing the rate of interest for a defined

period of time, and maintaining relationships with a

number of banks to ensure there is reasonable access

to funding on an ongoing basis.


Trading risk. For those wishing to buy or sell units

directly on the NZX, there is a risk that you may be

unable to find a buyer or seller, or that the quoted price

for your units is higher or lower than the unit price.

This is particularly the case when the Fund is generally

open for the issue and redemption of units on a monthly

basis via the Manager, meaning there may be a reduced

number of buyers or sellers on the NZX. In addition,

there is a risk that, in certain circumstances, trading of

the Fund’s units may be suspended, or the Fund’s units

removed from quotation on the NZX. Suspension or

removal may occur where the Manager has failed to

fully comply with the NZX rules, which the Manager

considers to be unlikely given the governance and

compliance framework in place to ensure its NZX

obligations are met.

Total (estimate) 1.19%

The total annual fund charges are all fees and costs charged by any person in respect of the Fund other than one-off fees

relating to individual actions (such as the withdrawal fee). These include:

•A management fee. This fee, payable to Booster, covers the costs of managing and administering the Fund, which

include administration, accounting and custodian fees, and ongoing marketing expenses. It is calculated daily as a

percentage of the net asset value of the Fund and paid monthly. This fee also covers the management fees of any fund

in which the Fund may invest other than performance-based fees, of which there are currently none.


Other management and administration charges.

In Fund Costs. These charges are capped at 0.10% per year (but may be less in the future) and include the Supervisor’s

fee and an estimate for other costs, disbursements, charges or expenses incurred directly or indirectly by Booster and

the Supervisor (such as audit fees and legal fees). They are calculated daily as a percentage of the net asset value of the

Fund and paid monthly. These charges are not payable to Booster.

Property Operating Expenses. These are the direct costs of ownership and operating the individual properties of the

Wholesale Portfolio. This includes (but is not limited to) valuations and other property related costs and associated

professional fees. The property operating expenses are estimated as a percentage of net assets of the Fund.

Note that the objective of an average annual long-term return from the Fund of 8% over rolling 7 year periods is after

all fees, charges, and costs (including interest and borrowing costs).

Example of how fees apply to an investor

Alex invests $10,000 in the Private Land and Property Fund. Alex is not charged an establishment fee or a contribution fee. This

means that the starting value of Alex’s investment is

$10,000.

Alex is charged management fees of

$100 and incurs administration and property operating expenses of about $19, which work

out to a total of about

$119 (1.19% of $10,000). These fees might be more or less if Alex’s account balance

has increased or decreased over the year.

Estimated total expenses for the first year

Individual action fees: $0 (other than any financial adviser fees or NZX Participant fees that may be payable by Alex)

Fund charges:

5% of the amount above $500,000

If you sell your units on the NZX Main Board you will not

be charged a withdrawal fee (though a service fee may

be charged by your broker).

There are currently no establishment, contribution,

or termination fees (other than the withdrawal fee)

charged by Booster.

Goods and services tax (GST) is not included in any of the

fees stated. GST will be added to any fees where applicable

(which for the management fee and withdrawal fee, based

on our understanding of the rules, results in a further 1.5%

added, meaning a fee of $100 (excluding GST) would be

$101.50 (including GST).

The fees can be changed

Any new fees or changes to existing fees is subject to the

Trust Deed. We will consult and agree any fee change

with the Supervisor and provide one months notice of any

increase in the management fee to all investors in the Fund.

Booster must publish a fund update for the Fund showing

the fees actually charged during the most recent year.

Fund updates, including past updates, are available at

www.booster.co.nz.

Other costs and expenses

The Fund may also incur interest and borrowing costs

related to gearing undertaken by the Wholesale Portfolio.

These are the interest costs and any fees associated with

the implementation or amendment of borrowing facilities.

Gearing is an effective and common method of increasing

the returns earned on property investment, subject to

the risks described in Section 4 – What are the Risks of

Investing?

The interest and borrowing costs are estimated to be 3.33%

of the net assets of the Fund assuming a gearing ratio of

40% is reached.

These expenses are not considered to be Fund charges (as

outlined above), but are disclosed here to provide investors

an understanding of the nature and amount of the expenses

that the Fund (or Wholesale Portfolio) incurs.

Individual action fees

Contribution fee

Booster does not charge an entry fee.

Your financial adviser, with your agreement, may charge you other fees for the services they provide to you. These fees

may include an entry fee on each investment amount. If an entry fee is charged, it will be deducted from each investment

amount before your money is invested in the Fund and paid to your financial adviser.

If you buy units in the Fund through an NZX Participant (such as a broker), they may also charge you a fee.

Withdrawal fee

Booster may charge a withdrawal fee on part or all of your investment withdrawn from the Fund. The fee charged is

based on the sum of all amounts you have withdrawn from the Fund in the previous rolling 12 months. If you hold multiple

accounts, in the same legal entity or with the same legal ownership, the withdrawal fee applicable will be based on the

TOTAL amount of withdrawals by the same legal entity/beneficial owner.

This fee is deducted from the withdrawal amount and paid to the Fund.

The Booster Managed Funds that invest in the Fund will not be charged a withdrawal fee.

Private Land and Property Fund11
The Fund is a Listed PIE. The amount of tax that the Fund

pays is calculated at the rate of 28% on its taxable income.

The Fund intends to pay a distribution on a quarterly basis,

which will include imputation credits to the extent it has

paid tax. If you are a New Zealand resident individual or

trustee investor (other than a unit trust) and your marginal

tax rate is less than 28%, you can choose to include the

fully imputed distribution in your tax return, and apply the

surplus tax credits against other income on which you are

required to pay tax.

1. Introduction

The Private Land and Property Fund is a fund offered under the Booster Investment Scheme 2.

This document is designed to provide potential investors with information on the Private Land and Property Fund

(the Fund) and the Booster Investment Scheme 2 (Scheme) that we believe may be material to a decision to invest in

the Fund.

The information provided complements the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for the Fund that the investor

received so it is important that these documents are read together.

Additional information regarding the operation of the Scheme can be found in the Scheme’s Trust Deed which can be

viewed at www.booster.co.nz/documents-and-forms/booster-investment-scheme-documents-and-forms.

Where the term “we”, “us”, “our”, “ourselves” or “Booster” is used, we mean Booster Investment Management

Limited, the Manager of the Scheme.

It is not possible to include full information on all aspects of the Fund and the Scheme in the PDS and/or this

document and you may have further questions about the suitability of the Fund as an investment for you.

If you do have any questions, we would be pleased to hear from you. You can contact us on 0800 40 40 50. You can

also discuss your personal situation with your financial adviser.


2. Summary - Private Land and Property Fund

The Private Land and Property Fund (the Fund) is a managed fund and investors purchase units which gives them an

interest in the Fund that is proportionate to the number of units that the investor holds. The number of units that an

investor receives is dependent on the amount of money invested and the unit price of each unit issued in the Fund.

The Fund is listed on the NZX Main Board (code PLP). You can view the Fund’s NZX page at

www.nzx.com/companies/PLP.

An investor can choose to make an investment in the Fund, either by purchasing units through the Booster wrap

administration system or via the NZX through an NZX Participant (such as a broker).

Go to section 3.1 - Investing in the Fund for further information on the ways to invest into the Fund.


2.1. Investment Structure

The Fund fully invests into a separate wholesale portfolio which is also managed by Booster – the Private Land and

Property Portfolio (Wholesale Portfolio). The Wholesale Portfolio is a managed fund established under the Booster

Investment Scheme, a separate scheme also managed by Booster Investment Management Limited (BIML or the

Manager).

The Fund holds 100% of the units of the Wholesale Portfolio, and the Wholesale Portfolio holds the direct property

investments, assets, borrowings and liabilities that the investors in the Fund are exposed to. This also means the

unitholders of the Fund are exposed to the costs and charges incurred by the Wholesale Portfolio as part of the

management of the property investments and borrowings.

As the Fund increases in size, it will obtain more investment exposure to direct unlisted Property by buying units in the

Wholesale Portfolio. The Wholesale Portfolio Manager is constantly looking for further suitable investment

opportunities, consistent with its investment strategy, and to increase its level of diversification.

As the Fund wholly invests into the Wholesale Portfolio, investors should have oversight of how their money is being

invested by the Wholesale Portfolio. The diagram below illustrates the relationship between the Fund and the

Wholesale Portfolio and provides a high level overview of the key financial information that we consider relevant to

investor’s decision to invest in the Fund:

Page 4 of 37


The financial information included in the diagram above is as at 5 October 2020 and will change from time to time.


2.2. Key Financial Ratios

The above diagram outlines the key financial ratios of the Wholesale Portfolio, an explanation of these ratios is as

follows:

• Gearing ratio – this ratio shows the level of borrowing the Wholesale Portfolio has undertaken as a

percentage of total assets.

• Interest cover ratio – this ratio shows how many times earnings would be able to pay the interest debt

incurred on borrowings.

• Interest costs ratio – similar to the interest cover ratio, this ratio shows the amount of interest as a

proportion of net assets.

• Property operating expenses – this ratio shows the costs incurred to operate and maintain the properties as

a percentage of net assets.

3. Information on the Private Land and Property Fund

3.1. Investing in the Fund

An investor can choose to make an investment in the Fund, either through:

• the Booster wrap administration system (the System); or

• an NZX Participant (such as a broker).

Investing through the System

To invest in the Fund through the System, an investor must first enter into a Client Custody agreement (Agreement)

for the Booster Wrap Administration System (System) by either:

• applying directly to Booster at www.booster.co.nz/booster-investments/private-land-and-property-

fund; or

• applying via a financial adviser or a financial adviser authorised to provide a Discretionary

Investment Management Service (DIMS).

The Agreement enables the investor to invest in the Fund through an account in the System and sets out the terms

and conditions upon which access is provided through the System. Under the Agreement all of the investor’s

investments are held by, and in the name of, a custodian to the System to ensure that beneficial ownership of the

investments remain with the investor, not the financial adviser or us. The custodian is Asset Custodian Nominees

Limited (ACNL), a bare trust established solely for this purpose, and is owned by Booster Financial Services Limited.

The custodian of the System can change from time to time without prior notification.

Buying units on the NZX Main Board (code PLP)

You can buy units in the Fund on market at the quoted price through an NZX Participant (such as a broker). In order to

trade quoted units, you will need to have a Common Shareholder Number (CSN) an Authorisation Code (FIN) and a

relationship with an NZX Participant. See www.nzx.com/services/market-participants for a list of current NZX

Participants.

You can view the Fund’s NZX page at www.nzx.com/companies/PLP, including all announcements made on the NZX

at www.nzx.com/companies/PLP/announcements

Applications

We may accept or decline applications at our discretion. No interest will be paid on applications that are declined in

whole or in part (except as required by law). We may invite offers for investments in the Fund and any offer may be

underwritten. We may set minimum application amounts and balances and may waive or vary the minimum

application and balance amounts at any time. See the PDS for further information.


3.2. Risk Indicator

Information on the risk indicator for the Fund has been included in the PDS. In the PDS section 4 “What are the risks of

investing?” it is noted that the risk indicator will be based on the returns data for the Fund for the most recent period

of five years before the PDS was prepared. Each quarter, fund updates will tell you what the most recent risk indicator

for the Fund is, again based on returns data for the previous five years.

As the Fund has not been offered for a full period of five years, five years of returns data will not be available. There

will be a note in the PDS or the fund update for the Fund that will tell you that an index return has been used for the

initial months of the five-year period, to give you an indication of what the risk indicator is likely to have been.

The risk indicator has been calculated using a mix of actual returns of the Wholesale Portfolio for the period of 1

October 2017 to 31 March 2020, and historical returns obtained from the Property Council/IPD New Zealand Property

Index for the period of 1 January 2015 to 30 June 2017. Actual Fund returns were used for the remaining period to 30

September 2020. As a result, the risk indicator may provide a less reliable indication of the potential future volatility of

the Fund. The Property Council/IPD New Zealand Property Index is not a securities index, but we have used it in the

risk indicator calculation because there is no appropriate securities index or peer group index available for the

Page 7 of 37

Portfolio. We consider the Property Council/IPD New Zealand Property Index allows the risk indicator to reflect the

potential future volatility of the Portfolio, although not as reliably as if actual returns were available for the entire

period. You can find more information about the Property Council/IPD New Zealand Property Index here:

https://www.propertynz.co.nz/msci-property-council-new-zealand-quarterly-property-index.

The Property Council/IPD New Zealand Property Index is a property index rather than a securities index, but we have

used it in the risk indicator calculation because there is no appropriate securities index or peer group index (an index

based on the performance of a group of funds that invest in a particular sector or sectors) available for the Fund. This

is due to the Fund’s investment strategy being able to obtain an investment exposure primarily in a specialised

portfolio of directly held, unlisted, agricultural and horticultural land and other property investments in New Zealand;

a strategy for which no appropriate securities index or peer group index exists. We consider the Property Council/IPD

New Zealand Property Index allows the risk indicator to reflect the potential future volatility of the Fund, although not

as reliably as if actual returns were available for the entire period. The absence of an appropriate securities index or

peer group index also means that the Fund’s performance will not be benchmarked against a reference return in the

fund updates.

If you would like more information on the risk indicators for the Fund and of the methodology used, please contact us

on 0800 40 40 50.


3.3. Interest in the Fund

Investments expressed in units

The Fund is divided into units. Each unit confers an equal interest in the Fund, although investors do not acquire any

direct right or interest in any of the investments held by the Fund.

Investments and other credits to the Scheme are used to purchase units in the Fund by the investor. Similarly,

withdrawal payments and other deductions are made by selling units.

The value of each investor’s units from time to time will depend on the value of the Fund and the number and unit

price of units held in the Fund. Investment returns (whether gains or losses) will be reflected by changes in unit

prices.

A register of unitholders in the Fund is maintained by Link Market Services Limited (Unit Registrar) which record all of

the investment details of each unitholder, including (but not limited to) number of units held, contributions,

withdrawals, tax and imputation credit information.


3.4. Calculation of Fund value and unit value

The Fund’s value (known as the ‘net asset value’ of the Fund) is calculated by deducting from the aggregate of:

• the cash forming part of the assets of the Fund; and

• the redemption value of the units held by the Fund in the Wholesale Portfolio;

the aggregate of:

• the liabilities of the Fund; and

• all unpaid costs, fees, charges and other material outgoings of the Fund (including the Supervisor’s and our fee,

and expenses) accrued to that date.

The unit value (unit price) for the Fund is calculated for each working day by dividing the net asset value by the

number of units on issue at the relevant time in the Fund. The Fund’s unit prices are published on Booster’s website at

www.booster.co.nz/booster-investments/private-land-and-property-fund.The unit value calculated by Booster may

differ from the quoted price on the NZX Main Board.


Page 8 of 37

3.5. Income Distributions

The Fund will aim to pay quarterly distributions to investors of any net cash income received from the Wholesale

Portfolio (after allowing for expenses). The payment of distributions are at the discretion of the Manager.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP)

Investors who are a resident in New Zealand and have an address in New Zealand on the Fund registers are eligible to

and can choose to reinvest their distribution- by participating in the DRP. As participation in the DRP is voluntary,

eligible investors are free to opt-in or opt-out of the DRP at any time with prior notice to the Manager (for direct

investors) or Link Market Services Limited (for NZX investors).


The following additional conditions apply to the DRP:

1. When the Fund announces a distribution, the Fund will also confirm whether the DRP will apply to that

distribution (i.e. the Fund can revert to paying only cash distributions at any time).

2. The price of the units issued under the DRP will be the latest available unit price on the morning of the

payment date.

3. The New Zealand tax status of the distribution will not change.

4. Any new units issued under the DRP will rank equally in all respects with existing units.

5. The Manager retains the right to determine that the DRP will not apply to a particular distribution, or will not

apply to some of a particular distribution (rather than all), with the result being that all or the relevant

proportion of that distribution will be paid in cash instead of the DRP applying.

6. Investors must complete an DRP Election Notice if they are to opt into the DRP or cease participating in the

DRP.

7. All DRP Election Notices must be received by the Manager (for investors who hold their units through

Booster) or by Link Market Services Limited (for investors investing directly on the NZX) by the Record Date of

the relevant distribution. Record Date means 5:00pm on the date fixed by the Manager for determining

entitlements to distributions payable or credited on Fund units. An election will remain in force for all future

distributions to which the DRP applies, unless an updated DRP Election Notice is received advising the

investor no longer wants to participate in the DRP. A copy of the DRP Election Notice is available from the

Manager or if you invested in to the Fund directly on the NZX, you can make your election on-line at

https://investorcentre.linkmarketservices.co.nz


Partial Units:

• Investors who hold units through Booster’s custodial service are able to hold partial units, resulting in the full

value of the distribution being reinvested without any residual cash left over.

• For investors investing directly on the NZX, the number of additional units received under the DRP will be

rounded down to the nearest whole unit (to comply with NZX rules). Any residual cash left-over shall be

carried over and applied under the DRP the next time the DRP operates. You will not accrue interest on this

residual cash balance. Should you cease to participate in the DRP; or cease to be a unitholder of the Fund,

any residual cash balances that have been carried over shall be forfeited.


Statements:

• For investors who hold units through the System, Booster will provide you with reporting in respect of all of

your investments with Booster on at least an annual basis, including details of the distribution and the

number of units received under the DRP.

• For investors investing directly on the NZX, Link Market Services Limited (Unit Registrar), will send a

statement within five trading days of the allotment of additional units issued, including details of the

distribution and the number of units received under this DRP as well as any residual cash balances carried

over.

Notes on the Property:

Planted as far back as 1993 in land near Richmond, these vineyards comprise 105.5 fully developed canopy hectares of

predominantly Sauvignon Blanc with some Albarino, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, Gruner Veltliner, Pinot

Gris, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sauvignon Gris, Syrah, and Viognier.

Established in the stony alluvial soils of the Waimea Plains with various plant spacing configurations and very low frost risk,

the vineyards source irrigation water from the Waimea East Irrigation Scheme.

In early 2018, a presence of Leaf Roller Virus was identified in part of one of the five vineyard blocks that has the potential

to reduce grape harvest yields over the medium to longer term. As a result, roughly 11.4 canopy hectares were removed

shortly after harvest, to be replanted in 2019 after land remediation and are expected to reach full maturity by 2025.

and is historically known for kiwifruit and citrus with current plantings of 20 canopy hectares of planted Sun Gold kiwifruit

under licence from Zespri, and 9.8 canopy hectares of lemons.

The availability of water from community schemes is a benefit in this area as primary infrastructure and maintenance

requirements are addressed by the scheme.

Due to the buoyancy of the sector and international market in this area, further development works are planned for the

orchard over the next five years to remove the citrus and increase the Sun Gold canopy and production.




Page 15 of 37

Notes on the Property investments:

1. The value of the Property is at 30 September 2020 based on the Manager’s assessment of the most recent independent

valuation (or at cost as at the purchase date where purchased within the last 12 months). The Manager reviews the valuation

of Property on at least a quarterly basis and the Manager’s valuation assessment is supported by the independent valuations

received for each Property.

2. The key terms of each of the material contracts related to the Property of the Wholesale Portfolio can be found in section 10.0

– Other Material Contracts of this document.

3. Independent valuations have been obtained for each of the properties as noted.

• In the case of the Awatere based land, the Manager’s valuations are supported by the latest independent valuations

other than the increase in value recognised for land under development, for which our valuation policy is described

below.

• For Hope, Nelson based land, the Manager’s valuation is fully supported by the latest independent valuation.

• For Hawke’s Bay based land, buildings and fixed assets, the Manager’s valuation is fully supported by the latest

independent valuation.

• For Mahana, Nelson based land and buildings, the Manager’s valuation is fully supported by the latest independent

valuation.

4. The purchase price for the Orchard property in Kerikeri was $15,500,000 and was the First Instalment of agreed consideration.

Under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, an additional sum of up to $950,000 may be payable on or around 30 September

2024 based on the production of the established canopy hectares (Second Instalment).


4.2. Property Development Projects

There are various property development projects currently in place to maintain, improve and enhance the Properties.

The Manager of the Wholesale Portfolio approves all property development and the associated capital expenditure

required to complete the development. The project work completed on the Properties is expected to affect the

valuation of the property, which is reflected in the unit price of the Wholesale Portfolio.

A summary of the material project development projects that are currently underway are detailed below:

Barewood Block

A parcel of land in the Awatere Valley in Marlborough was purchased at an original cost of approximately $4 million.

The land was partially planted in vines and included 28 hectares of bare land. A development project was undertaken

in respect of the bare land, with a total expected cost of $2 million. The scope of the development includes the planting

of vines, vineyard infrastructure including irrigation and frost protection, as well as building an irrigation dam on site.

The project management is provided by Awatere River Vineyards Limited, which is (indirectly) majority owned by the

Booster Tahi Limited Partnership that is managed by another company in the Booster Group. The project is substantially

complete as at the date of this document. Based on an independent valuation report, the Manager considers that the

vineyard’s value will increase by $0.9m once the vines mature and reach full productive capacity (excluding any general

market driven increases in land values over that time). It is expected the vines will reach full maturity over a 7-year

period ending in 2024.

For unit pricing of the Wholesale Portfolio, the value of the land is valued daily based on the internal rate of return

calculated at the outset of the development project. The internal rate of return is calculated as the sum of expected

capital value appreciation of the land plus the expected net earnings from the land over the development period. This

means a large portion of the expected development capital gain is recognised in the earlier years when grape yields are

low and reduces over time as the grape yields approach that of a mature vineyard. The daily unit price will also reflect

any changes in the value of the land on full maturity or the forecasted operating cash flows over the remainder of the

development period, which are reassessed on a periodic basis.

Upton Downs Block

Another block of land in the Awatere Valley in Marlborough was purchased in February 2018 for $8 million following

the completion of a substantial development project by the vendor on 34 of the resulting total 59 canopy hectares. It

is expected the developing vineyards will reach full maturity in 2024. Based on the same expected market value per

mature canopy hectare of the Barewood block, the Manager considers that Upton’s vineyard value will increase by

$0.6m (excluding any general market driven increase in land values over that time).

For unit pricing purposes, the net asset value of the land is increased at the internal rate of return calculated at the

outset of the development project, on the same basis as described for Barewood above.

Page 16 of 37

Hope Block

In Hope, Nelson, as noted on page 12 above, part of the Hope block originally purchased in July 2017 for $5 million was

redeveloped and replanted due to a high prevalence of the Leaf Roller Virus disease, at a cost of $0.6 million. This

project commenced after the 2018 harvest and the replanted vines are expected to reach maturity in 2025. The affected

area of land will return to a fixed return lease arrangement and market value of a mature vineyard once it produces an

adequate tonnage. In the meantime, the income to the Fund would be represented by an expected increase in the

value of the land as it approaches maturity, and any net income / expense in managing the land over that period.

The key terms of the project can be found in section 10.0 – Other Material Contracts of this document.

Sileni Winery and Vineyard

The Sileni winery building and surrounding vineyards located in the Hawke’s Bay were purchased in September 2018.

The winery building is being developed to include a new refurbished cellar door to help build brand awareness, build

local relationships by supporting local producers at the new cellar door and increase local support. The vineyards

surrounding the winery building have been undergoing some general maintenance and development work to replace

aging canopies.

These improvements in the winery building and vineyards is reflected in an increase in their investment value which is

used as a basis for setting the lease income, as per the terms of the existing lease agreement.

The key terms of the Land and Building Lease Agreement can be found in section 10.0 – Other Material Contracts of this

document.

Gravity Winery and Vineyard

The Gravity winery building and surrounding vineyards located in the Mahana region of Nelson were purchased in

January 2019. The vineyards are undergoing general maintenance and improvement works to bring it up to optimal

operational standard and an additional 2 hectares of vines are being established, which will take the vineyard from a

size of 21 to 23 canopy hectares. The winery building is being developed to incorporate a restaurant and cellar door.

The development of the winery building also included an upgrade to the waste water management system.

These improvements in the winery building and vineyards is reflected in an increase in their investment value which is

used as a basis for setting the lease income via the existing lease arrangements.

The key terms of the Land and Building Lease Agreement can be found in section 10.0 – Other Material Contracts of this

document.

4.3. Borrowing

The Fund may not borrow, but it has an indirect exposure to borrowings via the Wholesale Portfolio which has its own

borrowing facility. The Wholesale Portfolio may gear up to 65% of its total assets and has a target of 40%.

The Wholesale Portfolio has entered into an interest-only bank loan facility with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited (ANZ)

where the facility provides for two commercial loans (Commercial Loan Facility A and Commercial Loan Facility B). As

security for the borrowings, ANZ has a first ranking security interest over a number of specific assets (the Property, the

lease/income agreements and water rights related to those Properties). The unpaid principal and interest in respect

of these borrowings is taken into account in the unit value of units in the Wholesale Portfolio. In the event of a wind

up of the Wholesale Portfolio, any unpaid principal and interest in respect of the borrowings will rank ahead of the

interests of investors in the Wholesale Portfolio and will need to be paid before any payment of the residual value can

be paid to its investors, which is currently just the Retail Fund.

As at the date of this document, a summary of the loans in place are as follows:

Facility Facility Limit Drawn down Interest Rate Expiry Date

Commercial Loan Facility A $12,000,000 $12,000,000 4.54% pa (fixed) 25 May 2023

Commercial Loan Facility B $6,540,000 $6,540,000 4.48% pa (fixed) 6 May 2022

Total borrowings $18,540,000 $18,540,000


The repayment of principal falls due on the expiry date noted above, however an extension or refinance of each

facility is likely to be required. The Manager of the Wholesale Portfolio will seek to arrange an extension or refinance

prior to the end of each facility’s term.

In order to maintain the loan facilities, certain financial covenants must be met. The financial covenants for the loans,

and their ratios are as follows:

Financial Covenant As at 5 October 2020

Loan to value ratio is not to exceed 50% of the value of the

secured land

Gearing ratio of 26.99%

Interest cover ratio (EBITA to interest costs) is to exceed 2 times) Interest cover ratio was 2.87 times

Note:

• The gearing ratio or loan to value ratio is how much the Wholesale Portfolio owes (interest bearing debt/

borrowings) as a portion of its property assets.

• The interest cover ratio of the Wholesale Portfolio is calculated as the prevailing annualised earnings

before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation plus unrealised gains less unrealised losses all divided

by the interest and borrowing costs.


For further information on this loan facility, refer to section 10.0 - Other Material Contracts below.

4.4. Basis of Estimates for Costs

Property Operating Expenses

These are the direct costs of ownership and operating the individual Properties of the Wholesale Portfolio. This includes

(but is not limited to) valuations and other property related costs and associated professional fees.

The estimate of the property operating expenses has been prepared on the following basis:

• The expenses have been assessed for the next 12 months from the date of this document for existing property

• Reasonable estimates made for costs such as valuations based on current or past costs and other property

related costs and associated professional fees.

Note the actual costs may differ from estimated, including if additional properties are purchased.

5. Guarantees

No person, including us, the Supervisor, the Government or any other party, guarantees the performance, returns or

repayment of capital of the Scheme, the Fund or of the Wholesale Portfolio.


Page 20 of 37

6. Taxation

The information in this section is intended as general guidance only and is based on legislation in effect at the date of

this document. There may be various non-New Zealand tax consequences which affect the Scheme and non-New

Zealand resident investors that are not addressed here. We recommend that investors seek professional tax advice

regarding their individual circumstances, to clarify any of the following, prior to investing. Investors should also

periodically monitor the tax implications of investing in the Scheme and should not assume that the position will

remain the same as it was when they started investing.

Neither of the Supervisor nor ourselves accepts any responsibility for the taxation consequences of an investor’s

investment in the Scheme.

The Private Land and Property Fund (the Fund) is a Listed Portfolio Investment Entity (Listed PIE). The following

information is based on the Fund being a Listed PIE.


6.1. Portfolio Investment Entity (PIE) Tax

Under the PIE regime for Listed PIEs, the Fund will pay tax at 28% on all taxable income it earns.

When the Fund pays a distribution to its investors then, to the extent that it has imputation credits as a result of

income tax it has paid, it will attach those imputation credits to the distribution to the maximum extent permitted by

law.

To the extent a distribution does not have imputation credits attached (referred to as excluded income), the

distribution is not taxable to the investor. The effect is that any income earned by the Fund that is not taxable to the

Fund can be distributed to investors free from any further tax.

For that portion of the distribution that has imputation credits attached at 28%, a New Zealand tax resident individual

or trustee (other than a trustee of a unit trust) can choose to include this in their tax return. By including the

distribution in their tax return, an investor that has a marginal tax rate of less than 28% can apply the benefit of any

surplus tax credits against their other taxable income (or carry forward those tax credits to future tax years). For a

New Zealand resident individual or trustee (other than a trustee of a unit trust) with a marginal tax rate of 28% or

more, this income does not need to be included in their tax return, as the tax paid by the Listed PIE at 28% is deemed

a final tax. Other investors (e.g. a company, charity or unit trust) are taxed on Fund distributions that have imputation

credits attached.

For investors who are not resident in New Zealand for New Zealand tax purposes, non-resident withholding tax

(NRWT) of up to 15% will be withheld from that portion of a distribution that is fully imputed, although the NRWT rate

may be reduced to the extent that the non-resident investor has a direct voting interest of 10% or more of the units in

the Fund or, in some cases, under an applicable double tax agreement.

Tax on investments made by the Fund

As the Fund is registered as a PIE, any capital gains made by the Fund in respect to shares in New Zealand resident

companies and certain Australian resident listed companies are excluded from the calculation of taxable income. Most

overseas shares and interests in managed funds held by the Fund will be taxed under the foreign investment fund (FIF)

regime, generally using the fair dividend rate (FDR) method.

Under the FDR method, the Fund will be deemed to have derived income equal to 5% of the market value of its

overseas shares and interests in managed funds calculated on a daily basis (any dividends or other returns flowing

from overseas shares and interests in managed funds will not be separately taxed in New Zealand). Also under the

FDR method, tax deductions may not be made for any losses in respect of holdings in overseas shares and interests in

managed funds.

Other income of the Fund (e.g. interest on bank deposits) is subject to the relevant normal tax rules. Tax may be

imposed in overseas jurisdictions in relation to overseas investments (although this may give rise to a tax credit in

New Zealand).

The Fund also currently receives an indirect tax timing benefit from the depreciation the Wholesale Portfolio claims on

its Property.

Page 21 of 37


6.2. Tax Reporting

Under various agreements and treaties the Fund and/or the Manager may be required to provide information to tax

authorities in jurisdictions outside of New Zealand. We may request this information from you in order to discharge

those obligations.

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

FATCA is legislation that was introduced by the United States Government as a means of preventing tax evasion by US

citizens and tax residents. FATCA has been adopted by the New Zealand Government through an Intergovernmental

Agreement with the US Government (the ‘IGA’) and enabling domestic legislation. Under the IGA, certain New

Zealand financial institutions, such as the Trust, are required to identify investors that are US persons (or certain

entities controlled by US persons), and to report certain information about those investors and their financial

accounts to Inland Revenue. This information is collated by Inland Revenue and passed to the US Internal Revenue

Service. For more information on FATCA, please refer to the Inland Revenue website:

https://www.ird.govt.nz/international-tax/exchange-of-information/fatca/about-fatca. The Scheme has been

registered for FATCA purposes.

Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters (AEOI) and Common Reporting Standard (CRS)

AEOI and CRS imposes global rules for the purpose of avoiding offshore tax evasion through the exchange of financial

information between tax authorities in different overseas jurisdictions. Additional information must be obtained from

investors to determine whether any investor are non-tax residents of New Zealand (i.e. resident for tax in another

country) and for any non-tax residents of New Zealand, report certain information such as tax residency, account

balances and interest earned, to the New Zealand Inland Revenue. Accordingly, we may require additional information

from investors in order to comply with these obligations. For more information on AEOI and CRS, please refer to the

Inland Revenue website:

https://www.ird.govt.nz/international-tax/exchange-of-information/crs/important-documents

General Comments

Tax law is complex and changes frequently. Investors should periodically monitor the tax implications of investing in

the Scheme and should not assume that the position will remain the same as it is when they start investing. In

addition, if the Fund ceases to qualify as a Listed PIE then the tax consequences will be different from what is set out

above. The comments under this section “Taxation” are provided as general background only and are not a

comprehensive discussion of tax issues.

Page 22 of 37

7. Information about the Scheme

7.1. Suspension

There will be times when we believe that it is not practicable for a unit price to be calculated fairly. This may happen

where, for example, there is significant disruption in the relevant property markets and market valuations are unable

to be reliably assessed, or where the Fund (or any underlying fund) has had a significant request for withdrawals

beyond the level of liquidity it can make available. If we are not able to calculate the unit price for the Fund, the issue

of units and the payment of withdrawals, in relation to the Fund, will be suspended.

The period of suspension can be up to 90 days. This can be extended by agreement between us and the Supervisor.

Investors who have provided a withdrawal notice will be notified of the suspension.

Units in respect of investments received during a period of suspension will be allocated at the unit price calculated at

the end of the suspension period. Similarly, payments in respect of any withdrawals will be made at the unit price

calculated at the end of the suspension period.


7.2. Amendment of the Trust Deed

We and the Supervisor may amend the Trust Deed in certain circumstances where we believe this to be necessary or

desirable. Any amendment will be carried out in accordance with the Trust Deed and investors will be notified of such

amendments in the Annual Report for the Scheme. For further information, please refer to the Trust Deed.


7.3. Winding up a Fund and the Scheme

The Scheme can be wound up in accordance with the Trust Deed. For further information, refer to the Trust Deed.

If we believe that it is in investors’ best interests, we can propose to wind up the Fund at any time by giving notice. If

the wind up of the Fund goes ahead, investors may be given the opportunity of switching to an alternative Fund. If this

is the case, any investor who does not advise us that they have chosen an alternative Fund will be switched to a

default Fund nominated by us. Upon the winding up of the Fund, the assets of the Fund are realised and, after

payment of all liabilities, the proceeds are distributed to the investors that held units in that Fund in proportion to the

numbers of units held by them immediately prior to winding up.


7.4. Market Indices

Generally, each asset class in which any of the Scheme’s investments are held is measured, for performance purposes,

against an appropriate benchmark index.

The purpose of a benchmark index is to reflect the performance of the Fund in comparison to that of the overall

market for the asset class or asset classes in which the Fund is invested. Such benchmark indices are widely

recognised in financial markets and are administered independently from us.

The indices used are generally included in the Scheme’s Statement of Investment Policies and Objectives (‘SIPO’),

which can be found at www.booster.co.nz/documents-and-forms/booster-investment-scheme-documents-and-forms.

However, as described in section 3.2 - Risk Indicator, due to the specialised nature of the investment strategy of the

Fund no appropriate securities index or peer group index exists. The absence of an appropriate securities index or

peer group index means that the Fund’s performance will not be benchmarked against a reference return in the fund

updates.

9. Conflicts of interest

Conflicts of interests are circumstances where some or all of the interests of investors for whom we, as Manager of

the Scheme, provide financial services, are inconsistent with, or diverge from, some or all of the interests of the

Manager or its representatives. This includes actual, apparent and potential conflicts of interest.

We recognise that conflicts of interest can arise at any time. We also recognise that we are responsible for identifying

any conflicts and for ensuring that adequate arrangements are in place to ensure that they are managed.

The following are situations where conflicts of interest may arise. This is not an exhaustive list; it includes examples

that we have identified:

• Investment values artificially inflated to increase fees based on net asset values.

• Investments into related party products.

• Outsourcing, servicing and leasing arrangements between related entities and products.

• Individuals may be influenced to direct investments to specific securities.

• Investment knowledge used by an individual employee to their own benefit (insider trading).

• Intra month applications or withdrawals available to the Booster Funds but not external investors may have

a detrimental impact to external investors.

• Internal trading between Booster Funds which could be detrimental to one or other.

• Other Booster Funds may buy or sell units on the NZX Main Board at trading prices that may be a premium

or discount to the unit price issued by the Manager.

• Historic performance misrepresented to attract/retain investors.

• Staff are inadequately resourced or trained to provide high level of service.


A comprehensive policy has been developed relating to the management of conflicts of interest. Procedures and

processes have been put in place for:

• Identifying conflicts of interest.

• Controlling conflicts of interest.

• Avoiding conflicts of interest.

• Disclosing conflicts of interest.


As part of the conflict of interest procedures, the Manager will not buy or sell units in circumstances where its

directors or senior management is aware of material information that is not known to the market or reflected in the

unit price. This will also apply where redemptions from the Fund are suspended due to being unable to determine a

fair redemption price.


Page 27 of 37

9.1. Related Party Transactions

Conflicts of interest may arise with regard to services that are, or that may be, provided by related parties of ourselves

or the Supervisor to the Scheme.

The Trust Deed governing the operation of the Scheme includes provisions that generally prevent us, as Manager,

from entering into arrangements with a related party other than when transactions are completed on an arm’s length

basis. In addition, both we and the Supervisor must, at all times, act in the best interests of investors when

performing any duties in relation to the Scheme.

The Fund is permitted to invest in cash and cash equivalents and units in the Wholesale Portfolio, a fund we also

manage and a related party to the Fund. All investment activity between the Fund and the Wholesale Portfolio is

completed on an arm’s length basis.


Fund – Related party contracts

The following contractual arrangements for the provision of services by related parties are currently in place:

• the Custodian, which is a related company of the Supervisor, has been appointed by the Supervisor to act as

custodian and to hold the investments of the Scheme. Booster Custodial Administration Services Limited, which

is a related company of ours, has been engaged by the Custodian and the Supervisor to provide custodial

administration services to it in respect of the investments and other property of the Scheme.

This contract has been entered into on an arm’s length basis with any conflicted directorships abstained from the

decision to enter into the contract.


Wholesale Portfolio – Related party contracts

A number of the material contracts in respect of the investments of the Wholesale Portfolio have been entered into

with parties associated with Booster, as another company in the Booster group manages the Booster Tahi Limited

Partnership - an unlisted equity fund in which a number of the investee businesses have contractual relationships with

the Wholesale Portfolio (and subsequently the Fund).

Section 10.0 – Other Material Contracts below, outlines a summary of the material contracts in respect of the Wholesale

Portfolio, including details on the nature of the contract, whether the contract is between related parties and the key

terms of the contract.

All material contracts have been entered into on an arm’s length basis, and where the contract is between related

parties, any conflicted directorships abstained from the decision to enter into the contract on behalf of Booster.

Term 1 June 2017 to 31 May 2030

Pricing Principles Establishment of the Grape Price

Page 30 of 37

ARWLP will establish a price to be paid for the grapes annually, which will be based on certain factors

outlined in the agreement. These factors include:

• The price paid for grapes of the same varietal as reported by the ‘Viticulture Model Benchmarking

Report’ for Marlborough (produced by New Zealand Wine) from the previous vintage (or any other

industry report that the parties agree to use); and

• The current supply and demand for grapes of the same varietal and bearing similar characteristics as

the relevant grapes.

The final price paid will ultimately be agreed by both parties.

Sub-Standard Grapes

The grapes grown on these vineyards must meet the Viticultural Standards outlined in this agreement.

However, if any of the grapes do not meet the required standards, ARWLP can propose a price for the sub-

standard grapes, which the Grower can either choose to accept or reject the price. If the Grower rejects

the price, ARWLP will be deemed to have rejected the sub-standard grapes and the Grower will then be

able to find another buyer for these grapes.

Excess Tonnes

If the Grower produces more than the contracted tonnes, ARWLP may choose to purchase the additional

tonnes. The price for any additional tonnes of grapes will be 50% of the agreed price of the contracted

tonnes.

Termination The agreement may be terminated with immediate effect by either party if an event of default occurs as

outlined in the agreement, and the party not in default has given notice in writing to the defaulting party. A

default event includes the failure to deliver the grapes to ARWLP (unless ARWLP has provided prior

approval in writing), changes to the legal status of a party (for example a party ceases to do business), or a

party breaches the terms of the agreement and they are not remedied within the agreed timeframes.

will extend for successive further terms of two years until either party gives the other party two year’s

notice in writing to terminate the agreement or the agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with

the termination provisions of the agreement.

Page 31 of 37

Pricing Principles Establishment of the Grape Price

Matua will determine the price to be paid for the grapes, which will be based on market prices for grapes

from contracted growers (not spot prices) paid by reputable companies and Matua’s demand for grapes.

The final grape price paid will ultimately be agreed by both parties.

Sub-Standard Grapes

The grapes grown on this vineyard must meet the Minimum Brix Standards and Grape Specification and

Standards outlined in the agreement.

However, if any of the grapes do not meet the required standards, Matua can either reject the grapes or

can determine a different price for these grapes. The final grape price paid will ultimately be agreed by

both parties.

Excess Tonnes

If the Grower produces more than the contracted tonnes, Matua may choose to either purchase the

additional tonnes on the same terms and conditions as the contracted tonnes, offer to purchase the

additional tonnes at a different price, or choose not to purchase additional tonnes. If Matua chooses not to

purchase the additional tonnes or offer to purchase the additional tonnes at a different price, the Grower

may sell the additional tonnes to a third party.

Termination The agreement may be terminated with immediate effect by either party, in accordance with the

termination provisions of the agreement. Reasons for the termination of the agreement include where a

party breaches the terms of the agreement and they are not remedied within the agreed timeframes,

changes to the legal status of a party (for example the party ceases to do business), the Grower fails to

Effective Date of SIPO 8 October 2020

Version No. 1.3

Next Review Date 1 June 2021

This version approved 29 September 2020




Private Land and Property Fund

1. Description of the Fund

The Private Land and Property Fund (Fund) is a managed investment product established under the Booster

Investment Scheme 2 (Scheme) which is a registered managed investment scheme under the Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013 (Act). The Scheme is managed by Booster Investment Management Limited

(Manager).

The Fund provides investors with an opportunity to invest primarily in a specialised portfolio of directly held,

unlisted, agricultural and horticultural land and other property investments in New Zealand (including land,

buildings, bearer plants, and plant and equipment, which are together referred to as ‘Property’).

2. Investment and return objectives

a. Investment objective. The Fund aims to provide investors with a complementary and enhanced risk /

return outcome compared to traditional listed property investments.

b. Return objective. The Fund aims to generate an average annual long-term return of about 8% (before tax,

but after all fees, charges and costs) over rolling 7 year periods from a combination of income distributions

and capital growth.

3. Investment philosophy

The Manager’s investment philosophy for the Fund is to invest in properties that will provide a combination of

income distribution and capital growth-based return for investors, and where the Manager can identify

opportunities for added value through the pro-active management of the properties. The Manager intends to

make long term property investments.

4. Investment strategy

a. Investment strategy. By holding units in the Private Land and Property Portfolio of the Booster Investment

Scheme (Wholesale Portfolio), the Fund aims to obtain investment exposure primarily in a specialised

portfolio of directly held, unlisted, agricultural and horticultural land and other property investments in

New Zealand, which may be supplemented with direct investments in industrial, commercial, and retail

properties.

The Wholesale Portfolio, in which the Fund invests, may borrow to invest in more Property or to develop

Property already held by the Wholesale Portfolio.

b. Permitted investments. The permitted investments of the Fund are:

i. Units in the Private Land and Property Portfolio of the Booster Investment Scheme (Wholesale

Portfolio).

ii. Cash and cash equivalents, which will be held to manage the redemption of units in the Fund, plus any

income received from the Fund’s investments which will be distributed to investors.

iii. Through its investment in the Wholesale Portfolio, the Fund may obtain exposure to any of the

following investments:

• Any New Zealand unlisted property, unlisted property security or managed fund which

provides exposure to New Zealand unlisted property investments.

• New Zealand listed property securities may be held from time to time depending on the

availability of suitable unlisted investments.



• Australian and overseas unlisted property either directly or through managed funds, up to

A large cash allocation is only intended to occur temporarily as a result of transactional activity (e.g. a recent sale or a pending

acquisition)

d. Maximum holding. Once the Wholesale Portfolio, in which the Fund invests, reaches the expected breadth

of unlisted investments (defined as more than ten properties), any individual property security is to

comprise no more than 40% of the overall portfolio’s assets. However as initial investments are purchased

in the establishment phase of the Wholesale Portfolio, this limit may not initially be applicable.

5. Investment policies

a. Distributions. The Fund may receive distributions from its investment in the Wholesale Portfolio or interest

from its cash holdings. The Manager will aim to pay quarterly distributions to investors of any net cash

income received by the Fund.

b. Leverage. The Fund itself will not borrow. However, through its investment in the Wholesale Portfolio up

to 65% of its total asset value may be borrowed, with security limited to the relevant individual properties

of the Wholesale Portfolio. A benchmark of 40% and a soft limit of 50% will apply to provide a suitable

margin in case of any increase in gearing due to a fall in asset values.

c. Derivatives. The Fund itself may not use derivatives. However, through its investment in the Wholesale

Portfolio, derivatives may be used for risk management purposes, in relation to property investments or

interest rate risk on associated borrowing. Derivative instruments that may be used are limited to:

• Over the Counter (OTC) or Exchange Traded futures contracts.

• OTC or Exchange Traded options.

• OTC FRA’s, Swaps or other derivative instruments.

• An OTC counterparty must have a Standard and Poor’s rating of A or better.

All derivative positions must be backed by cash or relevant physical holdings. For the purpose of valuation

and compliance with these investment instructions, all derivative exposures must be calculated on a mark

to market basis.

d. Valuations. For unit pricing purposes, the units held in the Wholesale Portfolio will be valued at the

redemption price issued by the Manager of that fund.



For each direct property held by the Wholesale Portfolio, the valuation policy to be applied:

• Each direct property will be formally valued by the Manager at least annually, using the methodology

as agreed between the Manager and the Supervisor as the one most appropriate to each particular

property.

• At least every two years, an independent valuation will be obtained. This independent valuation will

be used to guide and place an upper limit on the Manager’s valuation. It should be noted that the

Manager’s valuation could be lower than the independent market valuation due to specific factors

the Manager considers not to have been fully accounted for by the independent valuer.

• The Manager will review the property value on a more frequent basis during the year to assess the

potential for a material change in value.

• As far as practicable, the formal valuation of the land and properties held by the Fund will be spread

across the financial year.

e. Liquidity management. The Manager will monitor the liquidity of the Fund (including availability of

liquidity from an underlying fund) and ensure sufficient liquidity to continue operations as a going concern

at all times. It is also the policy of the Manager to adopt a tiered withdrawal fee structure which, in

conjunction with limited redemption windows, manages short-term liquidity requirements. As part of its

liquidity management, the Fund reserves the right to refuse to accept or to reduce an investors application

where it, or the Wholesale Portfolio, is carrying excess liquidity and the Wholesale Portfolio does not have

an opportunity to invest subscription money in new investments in 60 days.

6. Investment performance monitoring

The Manager will undertake a regular review (at least quarterly) of the investment performance of the Fund

relative to the Fund’s objectives, which will be reviewed by the Manager and the Investment Committee on an

annual basis.

7. Investment strategy and SIPO review

The Manager will review the Fund’s investment strategy and this SIPO at least annually.

As the Fund is a long-term investment, it is not expected that the investment objectives and expectations in

the SIPO will necessarily change frequently or annually. Short term changes in Fund returns should not

generally lead to an adjustment in investment objectives or expectations.

The Fund’s investment strategy and SIPO may be reviewed at any time should the Manager deem it necessary,

for events such as where:

• New legislation affects investment requirements.

• Fundamental changes in the long term social, political or economic environment suggest a change in

investment principles and expectations.

• A significant change occurs to the underlying demographics of the Fund.

• New types of investment opportunities require consideration for inclusion in the Fund.

• The Fund’s competitive or market position has implications for investors’ assets and/or liquidity.

Any changes to the investment strategy or this SIPO will firstly be approved by the Manager’s Investment

Committee. Once approved, the Manager will consult with the Supervisor and give them written notice of any

changes before they take effect. The current version of the SIPO for the Fund is available on the scheme

register at www.disclose-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz. Any material changes to the SIPO will be advised

in the Booster Investment Scheme 2 annual report, also available on the scheme register.
