Things to consider before you invest The investment options are Registered Managed Investment Schemes governed by their respective constitutions. The investment options may access investment managers via other funds operated by NAL and through other managers pooled investments. The investment options may also hold direct assets. Investment risk Even the simplest of investments comes with a level of risk. While the idea of investment risk can be confronting, it s a normal part of investing. Without it you may not get the returns you need to reach your financial goals. This is known as the risk/return trade off. The value of an investment with a higher level of risk will tend to rise and fall more often and by greater amounts. In other words it is likely to be more volatile than those with less risk. Many factors influence an investment s value. These include, but aren t limited to: market sentiment growth and contraction in Australian and overseas economies legislative changes changes in interest rates changes in inflation defaults on loans company specific issues liquidity (the ability to buy or sell investments when you want to) changes in the value of the Australian dollar changes to laws of overseas jurisdictions can impact returns on international investments, and changes to laws affecting your investment. By understanding volatility will occur, you ll be able to manage your expectations and resist reacting to these short-term movements. This will help you stay true to your investment strategy and keep on track to achieve your long-term goals. A financial adviser can create a financial plan to help you manage risk and consider issues such as: how many years you have to invest the savings you ll need to reach your goals the return you may expect from your investments, and how comfortable you are with volatility. Diversify to reduce volatility and other risks Diversification investing in a range of investments is a sound way to reduce short-term volatility and help smooth a portfolio s returns. That s because different types of investments perform well in different times and circumstances. When some are providing good returns, others may not be. You can diversify across asset classes industries and countries as well as across investment managers with different approaches. The more you diversify, the less impact any one investment can have on your returns. One of the most effective ways of reducing volatility is to diversify across a range of asset classes. MLC Navigator Access Investment Options 5

Things to consider before you invest Asset classes Asset classes are groups of similar types of investments. Each class has its risks and benefits, and goes through its own market cycle. A market cycle can take a couple of years or many years; it s different each time. In the description of each investment option, we include a minimum suggested time to invest. Investing for the minimum time or longer improves your chances of achieving the return you expect. However, returns can t be guaranteed. You need to be prepared for all sorts of return outcomes when investing. Here are the main asset class risks and benefits. Growth and defensive assets Asset classes are generally grouped as either defensive or growth because of their different characteristics. Both defensive and growth assets are included in a diversified portfolio because they generally perform differently. For example, fixed income may be in a portfolio to provide returns when share markets are weak. In some market conditions, both defensive and growth assets may deliver low or negative returns. The main differences between defensive and growth assets are: Assets classes include How they are generally used Risk and return characteristics Defensive Cash and fixed income securities To generate an income and stabilise returns Expected to produce lower returns than growth assets and be less volatile over the long term Growth Shares and property securities To provide long-term capital growth Expected to produce higher returns than defensive assets and be more volatile over the long term Cash Cash is generally a low risk investment. Things to consider: Cash is often included in a portfolio to meet liquidity needs and for its defensive characteristics. The return is typically all income and is referred to as interest or yield. Cash is usually the least volatile type of investment. It also tends to have the lowest return over a market cycle. The market value tends not to change. However, when you invest in cash, you re effectively lending money to businesses or governments that could default on the loans. A default could result in a loss on your investment. Many cash funds invest in fixed income securities that have a very short term until maturity. 6 MLC Navigator Access Investment Options

Fixed income When investing in fixed income, you re effectively lending money to businesses or governments. Things to consider: Fixed income securities are usually included in a portfolio for their income and defensive characteristics. Returns typically comprise interest and changes in the market value of the security. There are different types of fixed income securities and these will have different returns and volatility. The market value of a fixed income security may fall due to factors such as an increase to interest rates or concern about defaults on loans. This may result in a loss on your investment. Fixed income securities denominated in foreign currencies will be exposed to exchange rate variations. Property securities Investing in property securities will give your portfolio exposure to listed property securities in Australia and around the world. These are referred to as Real Estate Investment Trusts ( REITs ). Things to consider: Property securities may be volatile and are usually included in a portfolio for their income and growth characteristics. Australian property securities are dominated by only a few REITs and provide limited diversification. Returns are driven by many factors including the economic environment in various countries. Investing outside Australia means you re exposed to exchange rate variations. Australian shares This asset class consists of investments in companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (and other regulated exchanges). Shares are also known as equities. Things to consider: Australian shares can be volatile and are usually included in a portfolio for their growth characteristics. The Australian share market has recently been dominated by a few industries such as Financials and Resources. Australian shares may provide dividend income and tax advantages through imputation (franking) credits. Global shares Global shares consist of investments in companies listed on securities exchanges around the world. Things to consider: Global shares can be volatile and are usually included in a portfolio for their growth characteristics. The number of potential investments is far greater than in Australian shares. Returns are driven by many factors including the economic environment in various countries. When you invest globally, you re less exposed to the risks associated with investing in just one economy. Investing outside Australia means you re exposed to exchange rate variations. Alternatives These are a very diverse group of assets that aren t like the mainstream assets of cash, fixed income or shares. Some examples include hedge funds, infrastructure, and gold. Things to consider: Because alternatives are diverse they may be included in a portfolio for their defensive or growth characteristics. Alternative investments are usually included in portfolios to increase diversification and provide returns that aren t strongly linked with the performance of mainstream assets. For some alternatives, such as hedge funds, it can be less obvious what assets you re investing in than with other asset classes. Some alternative investments are illiquid, which makes them difficult to buy or sell. To access some alternative investments you generally need to invest in a managed fund that, in turn, invests in alternatives. Because most alternative investments aren t listed on an exchange, determining their value for a fund s unit price can be difficult and may involve a considerable time lag. You may be exposed to exchange rate variations. MLC Navigator Access Investment Options 7

Things to consider before you invest Investment approaches Investment managers have different approaches to selecting investments. There are two broad approaches: passive and active management. Passive management Passive, or index managers, choose investments to form a portfolio which will deliver a return that closely tracks a market benchmark (or index). Passive managers tend to have lower costs because they don t require extensive resources to select investments. Active management Active managers select investments they believe, based on research, will perform better than a market benchmark. They buy or sell investments when their market outlook alters or their investment insights change. The degree of active management can vary. More active managers may deliver returns quite different to the benchmark. Active managers have different investment styles and these affect their returns. Some common investment styles are: Bottom-up focuses on forecasting returns for individual companies, rather than the economy as a whole. Top-down - focuses on forecasting broad macroeconomic trends and their effect on the market, rather than returns for individual companies. Growth - focuses on companies they expect will have strong earnings growth. Value - focuses on companies they believe are undervalued (their price doesn t reflect earning potential). Core - aims to produce competitive returns in all periods. Investment techniques Investment managers use different investment techniques that can change the value of an investment. Derivatives are used in all the investment options. Where the investment options use the other investment techniques, we ve made a note of it in the relevant investment options from page 11 to 37. Investment techniques include: Derivatives Derivatives are contracts that have a value derived from another source such as an asset, market index or interest rate. There are many types of derivatives including swaps, options and futures. They are a common tool used to manage risk or improve returns. Some derivatives allow investment managers to earn large returns from small movements in the underlying asset s price. However, they can lose large amounts if the price of the underlying asset moves against them. Investment managers have derivatives policies which outline how derivatives are managed. These policies can generally be found in the investment manager s PDS. Currency management If an investment manager in Australia invests in assets in other countries, their returns in Australian dollars will be affected by movements in exchange rates (as well as changes in the value of the assets). A manager of international assets may choose to protect Australian investors against movements in foreign currency. This is known as hedging. Alternatively, the manager may choose to keep the assets exposed to foreign currency movements, or unhedged. This exposure to foreign currency can increase diversification in portfolios. Gearing Gearing can be achieved by using loans (borrowing to invest), or through investing in certain derivatives, such as futures. Gearing magnifies exposure to potential gains and losses of an investment. As a result, you can expect larger fluctuations (both up and down) in the value of your investment compared to the same investment which is not geared. Investment managers can take different approaches to gearing. Some change the gearing level to suit different market conditions. Others maintain a target level of gearing. 8 MLC Navigator Access Investment Options

It s important to understand both the potential risks of gearing, as well as its potential benefits. When asset values are rising by more than the costs of gearing, the returns will generally be higher than if the investment wasn t geared. When asset values are falling, gearing can multiply the capital loss. If the fall is dramatic there can be even more implications for geared investments. For example, the lender requires the gearing level to be maintained below a predetermined limit. If asset values fall dramatically, the gearing level may rise above the limit, forcing assets to be sold when values may be continuing to fall. In turn this could lead to more assets having to be sold and more losses realised. Withdrawals (and applications) may be suspended in such circumstances, preventing you from accessing your investments at a time when values are continuing to fall. Although this is an extreme example, significant market falls have occurred in the past. Recovering from such falls can take many years and the geared investment s unit price may not return to its previous high. Other circumstances (such as the lender requiring the loan to be repaid for other reasons) may also prevent a geared investment from being managed as planned, leading to losses. You need to be prepared for all types of environments and understand their impact on your geared investment. Short selling Short selling is used by an investment manager when it has a view that an asset s price will fall. The manager borrows the asset from a lender, usually a broker, and sells it with the intention of buying it back at a lower price. If all goes to plan, a profit is made. The key risk of short selling is that, if the price of the asset increases, the loss could be significant. Assessing performance An investment option s performance should be judged against its investment objective. Most investment objectives aim to produce returns that are comparable to a benchmark. Benchmarks used as a measure of performance are usually market indices that are publicly available. Shares are often benchmarked against a share market index and bonds against a bond market index. Other benchmarks can be based on particular industries (eg mining), company size (eg mid caps) or the wider market (eg S&P/ASX 200 or the MSCI World Index). When comparing returns to a benchmark you should consider: whether the investment option s return is calculated before or after fees are deducted, the period over which the return should be measured, and that an investment option is unlikely to achieve its objective in all market environments. Ethical investing Investment managers may take into account labour standards, environmental, social or ethical considerations when making decisions to buy or sell investments. We expect our investment managers to consider material effects these factors may have on the returns from their investments, however we don t require them to.

Pre Select Options We have engaged the services of JANA Corporate Investment Services Limited ABN 38 055 638 474, AFSL No. 230687 ( JCIS ). JCIS is part of the NAB group of companies. JCIS monitors the investment structure and performance of the Access Pre Select investment options. Pre Select investing involves investing with a number of different investment managers rather than investing with one or a number of single investment manager funds. A range of Access Pre Select investment options has been carefully designed to suit different investment needs. The Pre Select investment process recognises that diversification and management of the overall investment strategy are integral to successful investing. In line with the Pre Select Investment Options objectives and strategies, the Pre Select investments process allocates and rebalances assets to the target asset allocation, diversifying your investment across: asset classes (diversified funds) investment managers, and investment management approaches. Ongoing monitoring and review of the Access Pre Select investment options aims to ensure that each option continues to be structured to meet its investment objectives. Self Select Options We recognise some investors want extra options when it comes to managing their money. To help give you this choice, we also offer investment options not managed by us. If you re considering investing in only these investment options, you will need to be careful as your portfolio may not be adequately diversified. 10 MLC Navigator Access Investment Options

Diversification guidelines and limits We are wholly invested in the Antares High Growth Shares Fund and therefore we do not need diversification guidelines and limits. The Antares High Growth Shares Fund can hold short positions in shares up to 25% of the value of its Net Asset Value (NAV). The total (gross) exposure to the share market is limited to 150% of the value of its NAV. Risks of strategy We only invest in the Antares High Growth Shares Fund, therefore there is concentration risk because we are reliant on the performance of one investment manager, who may underperform. As we only hold units in the Antares High Growth Shares Fund we do not control or have the rights to the underlying assets. The Antares High Growth Shares Fund could underperform other investments and could lose money. Performance may differ significantly from industry benchmarks. We expect the unit price and total return to fluctuate within a wide range. Performance of the Antares High Growth Shares Fund could be affected by: Issuer risk: Investments in a company may decline in value because of changes in the financial condition of the company. Investment manager risk: The performance depends on ACP s expertise and investment decisions. ACP s opinion about the intrinsic worth of a company or security may be incorrect, the investment objective may not be achieved and the market may continue to undervalue the securities held. Market risk: Security prices may decline over short or extended periods due to general market conditions, including but not limited to, inflation, foreign currency fluctuations and interest rates. Derivative risk: Investments in derivatives may cause losses associated with changes in market conditions, such as fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices or exchange rates and, changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative transactions may be highly volatile and can create investment leverage, which could cause the Antares High Growth Shares Fund to lose more than the amount of assets initially contributed to the transaction. Leverage risk: Leverage may involve the use of borrowed money or derivatives to increase the investment amount. Gearing or leverage magnifies investment returns and losses. Where investments are geared or leveraged, losses can exceed the original investment. Liquidity risk: ACP may not be able to purchase or sell a security in a timely manner or at desired price or achieve its desired weighting in a security. Counterparty risk: The risk of loss resulting from the insolvency or bankruptcy of a counterparty used by ACP to execute trades. MLC Navigator Access Investment Options 19

Access Antares High Growth Shares Fund continued ARSN 114 705 207 Liquidity Leverage Derivatives The Antares High Growth Shares Fund is primarily invested in Australian shares and maintains adequate cash levels to meet withdrawals. In the normal course of business ACP expects to be able to realise 80% of the assets within 10 business days in accordance with the withdrawal restrictions outlined in the Antares High Growth Shares Fund PDS. While we do not have a formal policy with respect to the manner in which ACP manages liquidity for the Access Antares High Growth Shares Fund, the way we operate is to meet withdrawals made in the normal course of business by maintaining adequate cash levels within the Fund. The Fund does not use leverage, and while we do not have a formal policy with respect to ACP s use of leverage, we expect it will operate under the limitations disclosed in the Antares High Growth Shares Fund PDS. The Antares High Growth Shares Fund leverages through the use of derivatives, short selling and borrowing money to increase its long positions up to 125%. However, the net exposure cannot exceed 100% of its NAV. We do not direct or determine the amount of leverage use by ACP so we are unable to provide an estimate of the usual leverage level. The Fund does not use derivatives however ACP can invest in derivatives to: reduce risk reduce transaction costs take advantage of opportunities to increase returns increase market exposure, and reduce market exposure (ie shorting). Derivatives can increase returns through: efficient portfolio management particularly in relation to the management of cash levels reducing asset risk to reduce the risk of an asset class declining in value, and indirectly enhancing income magnifying returns by taking short SPI contract positions to generate cash in the portfolio which can be used to purchase long physical positions. We do not have a derivative policy for ACP and do not set any limits on exposure to derivatives. However, we do expect ACP to operate within the limitations disclosed in the Antares High Growth Shares Fund PDS. Types of derivatives used ACP only deals in exchange traded derivatives with the Australian Securities Exchange. Risk of derivatives Investments in derivatives frequently involve third parties as counterparties. There is a risk that these parties may break their obligations. This could include, but is not limited to failing to make settlements payments or return margin payments. ACP seeks to mitigate this risk via various measures, including regularly reviewing the creditworthiness of their counterparties. ACP s controls to manage derivative risk No uncovered derivative positions are held. The maximum total market exposure of derivative positions, as a proportion of the total NAV can t be exceeded. The use of derivatives is conducted in accordance with regulatory and legislative requirements. MLC Navigator Access Investment Options 23
