More about iNAV
More information about iNav

The iNAV reflects the estimated NAV per Unit updated for portfolio stocks that have live market prices during the Trading Day, or where they do not have live market prices, may be updated for equivalent securities or movements in after-market trading and for foreign exchange movements. The iNAV will not be updated for market-based movements such as movements in stock market indices.

Magellan has engaged ICE Data Indices, LLC and Solactive AG as iNAV calculation agents to independently calculate and disseminate an iNAV. Both iNAVs are freely available to investors. From time to time there may be differences between the two iNAVs as a result of different calculation methodologies or timing of the data.

Investment philosophy

The Magellan High Conviction Trust seeks to invest in outstanding companies at attractive prices, while exercising a deep understanding of the macroeconomic environment to manage investment risk.

Magellan perceives outstanding companies to be those that are able to sustainably exploit competitive advantages in order to continually earn returns on capital that are materially in excess of their cost of capital.

While Magellan is extremely focused on fundamental business value, it is not a typical 'value' investor. The Magellan High Conviction Trust will invest in companies that have relatively high price-to-earnings and price-to-book multiples, provided that their businesses are outstanding and their shares are trading at an appropriate discount to their assessed intrinsic value. Equities that appear undervalued on the basis of a low price-to-earnings or price-to-book multiples will often prove to be poor investments if the underlying business is fundamentally weak and exhibits poor returns on capital.

Magellan focuses on risk-adjusted returns, rather than benchmark-relative returns. As a result, the Magellan High Conviction Trust investment process is designed to generate an unconstrained, highly-concentrated portfolio of high-quality companies.

The Magellan High Conviction Trust will comprise of 10 to 20 investments, with the portfolio weighted towards Magellan's highest-conviction ideas.

Portfolio construction

The Magellan High Conviction Trust's investment process integrates three key disciplines:

Intensive bottom-up stock analysis and industry research is undertaken in order to identify outstanding companies. This involves the assessment of potential investments against key quality criteria, as well as assessments of their intrinsic value. Magellan uses a proprietary ranking tool, the Magellan Conviction Scoring Matrix, to rank these companies based on these factors. This process enables the portfolio to be weighted towards higher conviction ideas (on a risk-adjusted basis).

Magellan's detailed macroeconomic analysis is overlayed during portfolio construction, alongside the application of both fixed and dynamic risk limits. This process ensures that the portfolio is not overly exposed to aggregation risk (risk which arises from correlated portfolio positions) or macroeconomic event risk. Macroeconomic event risk can be a significant source of negative returns for investors. Magellan will make significant changes to the portfolio if it believes that macroeconomic events could lead to significant and sustained loss in value for investors. Such events would include a financial crisis, a sustained oil price shock, a global pandemic or a major global conflict.

FAQs

There is no initial minimum investment amount.

Units in the Magellan High Conviction Trust are quoted on the ASX and can be bought and sold like any listed security. Alternatively, investors can apply and redeem units directly with the Responsible Entity.

We seek to be transparent with our clients and are making the following disclosures in relation to the Magellan High Conviction Trust:

  • ASX announcements under the ASX code MHHT;
  • Estimated Net Asset Value ("NAV") per Unit published on Magellan’s website daily;
  • Indicative intra-day NAV per Unit ("iNAV") published on Magellan's website daily and which is updated throughout the ASX trading day;
  • Monthly fund factsheets on Magellan's website and ASX; and
  • The full portfolio on a quarterly basis with a one-month delay on Magellan's website and the ASX.

The Responsible Entity intends to target a cash distribution yield of 3% per annum of the average of the month-end NAV per Unit over the two year rolling period ending on the last Business Day of the prior distribution period (“Target Cash Distribution”). The Responsible Entity has the discretion to distribute an amount higher than the Target Cash Distribution.

The distribution will be paid semi-annually (for the periods ending 30 June and 31 December of each year), although the Trust may make distributions more or less frequently at the discretion of the Responsible Entity. The Responsible Entity intends to announce the proposed Target Cash Distribution per unit on the announcements platform of the Securities Exchange Operator at the beginning of each distribution period. Additionally, the Responsible Entity intends to announce the final distribution per unit, and the distribution timetable, on the announcements platform of the Securities Exchange Operator prior to, or around the time of, the end of each distribution period.

Under the AMIT rules, investors will be assessed for tax on the income of the Trust attributed to them. Where the income of the Trust exceeds the amount of the distribution paid to investors (“Excess”), the Responsible Entity may, in a particular year, retain or accumulate in the Trust the amount of the Excess. In this scenario, the income of the Trust that is attributed to you (and that must be included in your income tax return) will be more than the cash distribution paid to you. The tax cost base of your units will increase to the extent of the Excess.

Your HIN or SRN can be found on the top right hand corner of your holding statement and other shareholder communications. You will typically have a HIN if you bought your units on the Securities Exchange through a stockbroker. You will typically have an SRN if you applied for unit directly with the Responsible Entity.

A HIN is a Holder Identification Number issued by your stockbroker. It is a unique number used to link all your holdings, stocks, shares, and not specific to just Magellan. A HIN is 11 characters long. It starts with an ‘X’ followed by 10 digits. For example: X0001235898

An SRN is a Securityholder Reference Number issued by the Fund’s Unit Registry and is your unique identifier in the Fund. An SRN is 11 characters long and starts with an ‘I’ followed by 10 digits. Example: I00874500369. Your SRN will be stated on your first confirmation statement and partly masked for subsequent statements.

You can exit the Trust either by making a withdrawal request to the Responsible Entity using a Withdrawal Form or by selling units on the Securities Exchange (Ticker: MHHT) via your stockbroker or online broker. How you enter the Trust does not affect the method by which you can exit the Trust.

To make a withdrawal request to the Responsible Entity…

If you have a Securityholder Reference Number (SRN)

Complete the Withdrawal Form and return along with certified copies of identification documentation (AML/CTF) via post to our unit registry, Automic. Please contact Automic for specific identification documentation requirements applicable to your account type.

If you have a Holder Identification Number (HIN) with your stockbroker or online broker

You will need to convert your holding from your HIN with your stockbroker or online broker to an SRN issued by the unit registry. Please note that you will also need to supply certified copies of identification documentation via post to the unit registry.

Converting your holding from a HIN to a SRN is standard process, which your stockbroker or online broker can facilitate.

 

To sell your units on the Securities Exchange….

If you have a Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) or Investor Number

You can provide your SRN to certain stockbrokers who can sell your units on your behalf.

If your stockbroker does not offer this service, you will need to ask your stockbroker to convert or transfer your holding onto a HIN.  This is a standard process which your stockbroker facilitate. You can then instruct your stockbroker to sell your units on the Securities Exchange.

If you have a Holder Identification Number (HIN) with your stockbroker

You can instruct your stockbroker to sell your units on the Securities Exchange.


There are important differences between exiting the Trust via the Securities Exchange or by withdrawing directly with the Responsible Entity, including the price you will receive. You should read the PDS or consult with your financial adviser before making any decision on how to invest in the Trust.
