Related party transactions
NZ Innovation Booster Limited Partnership
The Scheme’s Fund owns units in the NZ Innovation Booster Limited Partnership (NZIB). NZIB is a
partnership between Booster Financial Services Limited (the parent company of the Manager), Victoria Link
Limited and Otago Innovation Limited. Due to Booster Financial Services Limited being a shareholder of the
general partner and a limited partner of NZIB (and who had invested through NZIB in conjunction with a
number of Booster managed funds prior to the Fund establishment), we consider NZIB to be a related party.
All transactions between these related parties are performed on an arm’s length basis (and for which no
related party benefit is given).
Various Booster Funds invest in the Scheme
Units in the Scheme’s Fund are held by Booster Financial Services Limited as well as a number of managed
investment schemes that are also managed by BIML. All transactions have been performed on an arm’s
length basis of which a performance-based fee is payable in respect of these investors in the Fund, along
with all other investors in this Fund. Further information about the performance-based fee is available in the
Scheme’s Product Disclosure Statement available at www.booster.co.nz.
There were no other changes to the nature or scale of any related party transactions during the accounting
period and all related party transactions were on an arms’ length basis.
Further information on the Fund and Related Party Benefits can be found in the Scheme’s Product Disclosure
Statement and Other Material Information document available at www.booster.co.nz.
Terms of the offer
The Scheme’s Fund was opened to retail investors on 19 November 2021 and listed on the NZX Main Board
on 2 March 2022.
A copy of the Scheme’s current Product Disclosure Statement is available at www.booster.co.nz.
There were no material changes to the terms of the offer over the accounting period.
Valuation and pricing methodologies
