Chester High Conviction – Bought – our conviction here has increased to levels warranting portfolio
               inclusion. We like the all-cap approach which means the team can and will invest up and down the
               market capitalisation spectrum. We also like the high conviction approach with a focus on companies
               with predictable cash generation trading at a valuation that provides a margin of safety and history of
               finding unloved and underappreciated investments.
               (Moderate) Flinders Emerging Companies – Sold – a combination of effects here has seen the sale of
               this fund. Firstly, as noted above, we have reduced growth assets in favour of defensive assets, and
               this would’ve resulted in a slight reduction in allocation to this strategy. Secondly, the inclusion of
               Chester, noted above, utilises an all-cap approach which means we now get additional mid and small
               sized companies’ exposure from this manager, rendering a extremely small allocation to Flinders as
               unnecessary in this portfolio.

               Resolution Capital Global Property Securities – Switched – as noted above on currency, we have
               switched from the unhedged currency option here to the currency hedged option, maintaining our
               conviction in Resolution Capital’s long-standing approach and highly experienced team.

               MFG Core Infrastructure – Sold – whilst our conviction remains here, we favour a high conviction and
               deeply fundamental approach in this asset class going forward given the market and economic
               backdrop. MFG largely uses a quantitative approach with a highly diversified portfolio.

               ATLAS Infrastructure Australian Feeder Fund Hedged – Bought – our conviction here is one of the
               highest in the peer group. We like the concentrated, high conviction, index agnostic approach here
               from one of the largest investment teams in the peer group. The strong risk focus provides a
               counterbalance to the highly concentrated portfolio, whilst the team can and does benefit from
               insights from its parent which is a large direct infrastructure investor/adviser.

               Franklin Australian Absolute Return Bond – Sold – our conviction here remains, but we prefer a
               dedicated focused approach to attractively priced Australian credit securities in the forward period
               whilst also preferring that interest rate exposure (ie. duration) be obtained in the portfolio via
               specialist managers (eg. Western, Brandywine) given the continued heightened volatility in this part
               of the market.
               Yarra Enhanced Income – Bought – our conviction here is high and this is currently our preferred
               manager in the Australian credit peer group. We like the large and highly experienced team here
               along with the very strong support provided by their macroeconomic function and their use of other
               investment teams internally. We also like the in-depth fundamentally driven credit research and the
               consistent levels of income.

               (Moderate) Realm Short Term Income – Bought – this is our best pick in the enhanced cash / short-
               term bond peer group and has been included in the portfolio as part of the increase in defensive
               assets discussed above. Their highly experienced team uses a risk-first approach to investing along
               with highly active trading in seeking to deliver strong risk adjusted returns. The fund aims to deliver an
               after fee return of 1.5-2% per annum over the RBA cash rate over a rolling three-year period.
