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.
