PIE tax treatment — capped at your PIR (max 28%)
This fund is a Portfolio Investment Entity (PIE) under Subpart HM of the Income Tax Act 2007. Income is taxed at your Prescribed Investor Rate (10.5% / 17.5% / 28%), not your marginal income-tax rate. The fund manager calculates and pays the tax on your behalf — when your PIR is correct, you usually don't need to declare PIE income in your annual tax return. See our PIR guide and PIE tax basics for the full picture, or use the PIR calculator to confirm your rate.

Responsible-investment approach
ESG factors are considered in investment decision-making for directly managed listed shares and listed property, integrated with financial and portfolio considerations. Socially Responsible and Wealth Series funds exclude investments in companies generating more than an incidental proportion of revenue from specified activities including fossil fuels, tobacco, gambling, weapons manufacturing, and others listed in the Responsible Investment Criteria.
Derivatives policy
Derivatives may be used in relation to any asset class and any Fund, provided they are backed by cash or relevant physical holdings and effective exposures remain within the overall mandate. Permitted instruments include OTC or exchange-traded futures, forward foreign exchange contracts, OTC or exchange-traded options, and OTC FRAs, swaps or other derivative instruments; OTC counterparties must have a Standard and Poor's rating of A or better where managed directly by the Manager.
Reading between the lines
Plain-English summary of the scheme's disclosed conflicts and performance-fee mechanics, drawn from the OMI and PDS. Factual restatement — no opinion.
- Booster discloses that when Scheme funds invest into Booster-managed funds such as Booster Tahi LP or the Booster Innovation Fund, investors bear a proportionate share of those funds' performance fees on top of any fund-level fees.
- Booster's related company BCAS charges the Scheme up to 0.50% of net foreign exchange transactions as a facilitation fee, and Booster acknowledges this creates an incentive to increase foreign exchange activity.
- Booster discloses that under the ISP Swap Agreement it sets investor Posted Rates and keeps all income earned above those rates as its performance fee, with no maximum limit and no high-water mark protection for investors.
- Booster acknowledges that shared directors and contractual links with related parties, including ultimate parent Booster Financial Services Limited, create a risk that investment decisions may favour related parties over the Scheme's investors.

In OMI
Conflicts of interest disclosed in OMI
- Booster as Manager invests Scheme funds into other funds it manages or into loans made to those funds, giving Booster an incentive to favour recipient funds or itself over the Scheme's investors.
- Booster earns fees linked to certain fund management activities (e.g. foreign exchange facilitation fee, borrowing fee for geared funds), which could influence it to increase such activities to earn more fees.
- Under the ISP Swap Agreement, Booster sets the Posted Rates, makes investment decisions for the ISP, and receives income earned above the Posted Rates as a performance-based fee, creating a risk that investment decisions are influenced by the Swap Agreement.
- Related parties may exert influence over Booster (e.g. through shared directors or contractual links), creating a risk that investment decisions are made to achieve objectives that differ from the relevant fund's objectives.
- Contractual arrangements between related parties create a risk that investment decisions may favour the related party to the detriment of one or more of the Scheme's funds, or that the related party may not meet its obligations due to the close association of the parties.
