6Managed Investment Scheme Annual Report 2023
Manager’s base fee
The Manager’s base fee is calculated as 0.50% per annum of the book value of GMT’s
assets (other than cash, debtors and development land) up to $500 million, plus 0.40%
per annum of the book value of GMT’s assets (other than cash, debtors and development
land) greater than $500 million.
Manager’s performance fee
The Manager is entitled to be paid a performance fee equal to 10% of GMT’s performance
above a target return (which is calculated annually on 31 March) and is capped at 5% of
annual out performance (except in a period in which GNZ ceases to hold office, or GMT
terminates). The target return is equal to the annual return of a gross accumulation index
created from NZX listed property entities having a principal focus on investment in real
property, excluding GMT (the “Peer Group”), with the index being compiled by a suitably
qualified and experienced person.
Any performance below the target return is carried forward indefinitely to future periods.
GMT will not earn a performance fee on any performance in excess of the target return
plus 5% per annum. Any performance over that cap will be carried forward indefinitely to
future periods (except in a period in which GNZ ceases to hold office, or GMT terminates).
No performance fee is payable for any year where GMT’s performance is less than 0%,
however, any under or over performance is carried forward indefinitely to future periods.
The Manager is required to use performance fee proceeds to reinvest in GMT units in
accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed. The issue price for these units is equal to
the higher of market price and the net asset value per Unit.
At 31 March 2023, GMT’s return was less than 0% and therefore no performance fee
is payable (2022: $15.7 million), however GMT outperformed the Peer Group and has a
$48.9 million carry forward to include in the calculation for future periods (2022: $9.0 million
carry forward).
Property management fees
Property management fees are paid to GPSNZ for day to day management of properties.
Leasing fees
Leasing fees are paid to GPSNZ for executing leasing transactions.
Acquisition and disposal fees
Acquisition and disposal fees are paid to GPSNZ for executing sale and purchase
agreements.
Minor project fees
Minor project fees are paid to GPSNZ for services provided to manage capital expenditure
projects for stabilised properties.
Fees (continued)
7Managed Investment Scheme Annual Report 2023
Development management fees
Development management fees are paid to GPSNZ for services provided to manage
capital expenditure projects for developments.
Reimbursement of expenses for services provided
Certain services are provided by GPSNZ in lieu of using external providers. Fees and
expenses can only be charged to GMT by the Manager and GPSNZ in accordance
with the terms of the service arrangements and/or the GMT Trust Deed.
Any change to the service arrangements and the GMT Trust Deed requires the approval
of the Supervisor (or in certain circumstances, Unitholders) and would be advised to
Unitholders via the NZX.
For more information in respect to the Fees, please refer to the Scheme’s financial
statements, on the Disclose Register at www.companies.govt.nz/disclose, scheme
number SCH11225.
A summary of the fees payable can be found in the corporate governance section of
the GMT website, www.goodman.com/nz.
Changes to fees and expenses
Fees and expenses charged by unrelated third parties for valuation, trustee, audit and
other services are charged at a market rate and subject to change as contracts are
renewed or changed.
The calculation of the Manager’s base fee and performance fee are set out on page 5.
This fee structure has been previously approved by Unitholders and can only be
amended with Unitholder approval.
Property services fees, including property management fees, leasing fees, acquisition
and disposal fees, minor project fees and development management fees are charged
in accordance with the terms of contracts agreed with the Manager’s Independent
Directors and approved by GMT’s external trustee and supervisor, Covenant Trustee
Services Limited. The tenor of these contracts varies depending on the services
provided but any new contract requires the approval of GMT’s external trustee and,
if the quantum of the fees payable under that contract exceed the threshold in the
NZX Listing Rules, the Unitholders of GMT.
In order to ensure that all fees are set at appropriate levels, the Independent Directors
of the Manager arrange for the fees to be reviewed biennially by an independent
third party.
