    (GEI plus)?
  • How does it work?
  • Key benefits
  • Tax treatment
  • Interest rates
  • Examples
  • Tailoring an investment portfolio

What is GEI plus?
  • GEI plus allows investors to borrow to invest in
    their own tailored investment portfolio with 100
    per cent capital protection of the loan
    principal
  • Choose from an Approved List of Securities
    including more than 50 ASX listed securities and
    certain unlisted managed funds or pre-selected
    portfolios
  • Investors borrow 100 per cent of their investment
    amount, with each security individually protected
    at the initial purchase price
  • Full protection of loan principal
  • protect loan principal against possible market
    volatility
  • no netting of gains and losses
  • no repayment of loan principal shortfalls
    referable to those GEI Securities that have
    fallen in value
  • Choice of a loan term between one and five years
    to suit your clients preferred investment
    timeframe
  • Choice of interest rate fixed or variable
  • Minimum investment amount of 50,000.

Due to the limited recourse nature of the loan,
the loan principal is capital protected. This
means that at the time the loan principal becomes
repayable, if the value of the GEI Securities is
insufficient to repay the loan principal in full,
investors will not need to provide any additional
capital to repay the loan principal.

How does it work?
Limited Recourse Loan interest only
Macquarie 50,000 loan
Client 0 capital (Interest is payable)
50,000 to invest
Client keeps any available profit after the
repayment of their loan principal and costs
Sell securities that have fallen in value no
loss of loan principal at maturity

behalf
Distributions and franking credits

Key benefits
  • Flexibility
  • investors can select from the Approved List of
    Securities or choose a pre-selected portfolio
  • tailor the Facility further by selecting the term
    (one to five years), day of investment and
    preferred interest payment option (variable in
    arrears or fixed in advance)
  • Exposure to potential capital growth,
    distributions and franking credits
  • investors are entitled to receive the benefits of
    direct investment ownership
  • 100 per cent finance provided by Macquarie Bank
    Limited
  • investors are not required to contribute any of
    their own capital upfront
  • The certainty of an ATO Product Ruling PR
    2011/5
  • loan interest may be deductible up to the
    applicable benchmark rate for capital protected
    borrowings
  • Protection of the loan principal throughout the
    loan term and at maturity
  • No margin calls
  • No offsetting of gains and losses
  • gains from the profitable GEI Securities will
    not be offset against losses from underperforming
    GEI Securities in the portfolio
  • Daily liquidity.

Subject to the investor being eligible to claim
franking credits (see the GEI plus Brochure dated
2 March 2011 for more information). The
Product Ruling is only binding on the
Commissioner of Taxation if the investment
through GEI plus is implemented in the specific
manner provided in the Product Ruling and the
assumptions set out in that Product Ruling are
satisfied. The Product Ruling is only a ruling on
the application of taxation law and is in no way
expressly or impliedly a guarantee or endorsement
of the commercial viability of GEI plus, of the
soundness or otherwise of GEI plus as an
investment, or of the reasonableness or
commerciality of any fees charged in connection
with GEI plus. The applicable benchmark rate
is currently the Reserve Bank of Australias
Indicator Rate for Variable Personal Unsecured
Loans. However, if proposed legislative
amendments are enacted, the benchmark rate
applicable to loans entered into on or after
7.30pm on 13 May 2008 will change to the Reserve
Bank of Australias Indicator Lending Rate for
Standard Variable Housing Loans plus 100 basis
points. Daily Liquidity, subject to early
termination costs for redemptions prior to
maturity.

Tax treatment
Interest deductibility
  • ATO Product Ruling PR 2011/5
  • Interest is deductible up to the applicable
    benchmark rate for capital protected
    borrowings, expected to be the Reserve Bank of
    Australias Indicator Lending Rate for Standard
    Variable Housing Loans plus 100 basis points
  • Where the GEI plus interest rate exceeds the
    applicable benchmark rate, any amount in excess
    of this rate is attributable to the cost of
    capital protection and not deductible
  • This non-deductible component will either
  • be added to the cost base of the GEI Securities
    where the loan principal protection is used, or
  • result in a separate capital loss where the loan
    principal protection is not used.

The Product Ruling is only binding on the
Commissioner of Taxation if the investment
through GEI plus is implemented in the specific
manner provided in the Product Ruling and the
assumptions set out in that Product Ruling are
satisfied. The Product Ruling is only a ruling on
the application of taxation law and is in no way
expressly or impliedly a guarantee or endorsement
of the commercial viability of GEI plus, of the
soundness or otherwise of GEI plus as an
investment, or of the reasonableness or
commerciality of any fees charged in connection
with GEI plus.
8
Interest rates
  • Interest rates are higher than an ordinary margin
    loan because of the limited recourse nature of
    the loan
  • Your clients interest rate will depend upon
  • the GEI Securities that they choose to include in
    their portfolio
  • the loan term that they choose
  • the interest payment option that they choose
  • Post-tax servicing costs will depend on
  • your clients interest rate
  • potential tax deductions on the interest expense
  • distributions
  • potential franking credits
  • clients marginal tax rate.

    the interest deductibility rate is 8.80pa
  • The distribution yield on the unlisted managed
    fund is 4.65pa
  • The distribution yield on the ASX listed
    securities is 5.90pa.

This information is purely hypothetical and
contains many assumptions. The information does
not represent actual performance and should not
be interpreted as an indication of future
performance. It is provided for illustrative
purposes only. Actual results may be materially
different and investors may lose money on their
GEI plus Facility.
10
Tailoring an investment portfolio
Two easy choices
  • 1. Select own portfolio
  • flexibility to create own portfolio from more
    than 50 ASX listed securities and certain
    unlisted managed funds
  • 2. Choose from our five pre-selected portfolios
  • Balanced Growth portfolio
  • Growth Plus portfolio
  • Income Plus portfolio
  • Bank portfolio
  • Resources portfolio.

Macquarie does not make any representations
regarding the GEI Securities or the pre-selected
portfolios, their suitability or their
performance and the inclusion of any GEI
Securities or pre-selected portfolios shall not
be construed as the provision of financial advice
in relation to those GEI Securities or
pre-selected portfolios. Investors should obtain
their own financial advice as to the suitability
of investing in any GEI Securities or
pre-selected portfolios as to their suitability
in light of their financial objectives,
situations and needs.
11
Pre-selected portfolios
Balanced Growth portfolio
Growth Plus portfolio
Income Plus portfolio
Resources portfolio
Bank portfolio
Based on a 100,000 loan as at 21 March 2011.
Pre-selected portfolios are made up of predefined
allocations across a selection of GEI Securities,
and may be compiled by a member of the Macquarie
Group or a third party.
12
What happens at maturity?
  • For each of your clients profitable GEI
    Securities, they can
  • Repay that part of the loan and keep all of those
    GEI Securities
  • Take the net proceeds in cash or GEI Securities
  • Roll the GEI Securities into another GEI plus
    Facility
  • For each of your clients unprofitable GEI
    Securities, they can
  • Take no action and these GEI Securities will be
    disposed of, and your clients will not have any
    further obligations nor will they receive any
    payment in relation to these GEI Securities.

Please note, under any of these options your
client will be required to have paid all
interest, fees and other costs owing on their GEI
plus Facility (including any amounts owing on an
Interest Prepayment Loan, if applicable).
13
Early termination of a GEI plus Facility
What happens if your clients end their loan term
early?
  • The loan principal is protected throughout the
    life of the loan, however costs apply if your
    client terminates their GEI plus Facility prior
    to maturity
  • Costs
  • Break costs apply if the loan is terminated prior
    to maturity and will vary depending on
  • remaining term
  • loan amount
  • cost of unwinding the protection
  • differences between fixed rate of interest at
    implementation and break date
  • Early Repayment Fee
  • Brokerage.

14
Fees and costs
  • Interest
  • 1.1 per cent brokerage (only on ASX listed
    securities)
  • No establishment fees
  • 175 Security Registration Fee applicable to
    corporate borrowers or corporate third party
    security providers
  • Adviser commissions
  • Termination costs (including break costs) if
    facility unwound early
  • Please see the Macquarie GEI plus Brochure for
    full list of applicable fees and charges.

15
Key risks
  • Performance risk The value of the GEI Securities
    your clients choose may go down by a material
    amount, even over a short period of time
  • Borrowing to invest By using a GEI plus Facility
    to invest in chosen GEI Securities, the
    investment is leveraged. Leverage can magnify
    gains and losses on an investment
  • Breakeven risk There is a material risk that
    your clients will lose money on a GEI plus
    Facility. That is, the total value of the returns
    at maturity (if any) and Distributions from the
    GEI Securities throughout the term of your
    clients loan (if any) could be less than the
    total interest payments and other costs
    (including break costs), and could be zero. In
    this case, your clients will have lost the amount
    of interest and costs they have paid
  • Early termination risk A GEI plus Facility may
    be terminated by Macquarie early in certain
    circumstances or your clients may choose to
    terminate their GEI plus Facility early. In
    either case, they will still receive the benefit
    of the limited recourse nature of the loan.
    However they will need to pay any break costs,
    interest charges, fees and other costs that may
    apply
  • Interest rate risk There is a risk that the
    interest rate applicable to your clients
    Facility may rise
  • Liquidity risk There is a risk that your
    clients ability to close out their GEI plus
    Facility early or to sell their GEI Securities
    may be limited due to a lack of liquidity for
    their GEI Securities.

16

  • Individuals who are looking to build wealth in a
    tax efficient way with potential tax deductions
    for interest expense
  • Limited upfront capital available to build an
    investment portfolio
  • Investors who would like protection across every
    security in their portfolio
  • Investors who have minimal time available to
    monitor and manage their investments

    portfolio while releasing cash for other
    investment purposes.

Case Study 1 Diversify with a Reverse GEI
plusFor adviser use only
  • This information is purely hypothetical and
    contains many assumptions. It has been prepared
    to assist advisers in understanding how GEI
    operates. The information does not represent
    actual performance and should not be interpreted
    as an indication of future performance. Actual
    results may be materially different. It is
    provided for illustrative purposes only.
  • The franking and dividend data used in this
    information is indicative only. Although
    Macquarie believes the assumed dividends and
    franking credits are from a reliable source
    (Macquarie Research Equities) and made on
    reasonable grounds, we have not verified them and
    there is no guarantee they will actually occur.
    Actual dividends and franking credits may differ
    materially and may be materially lower.
  • Client situation
  • Matilda has an existing BHP shareholding worth
    100,000.
  • She wants to diversify her exposure and increase
    the yield of her investments without
    crystallising a capital gain by selling her BHP
    shares.
  • She would also like some protection from a
    potential decline in value due to the current
    uncertainty in the global economy.
  • Possible investment strategy
  • Matildas adviser recommends she enters into a
    Reverse GEI with Macquarie
  • She transfers her 100,000 BHP shares into a GEI
    plus Facility
  • Once her BHP shares are transferred to Macquarie,
    100,000 is released in cash, which her adviser
    recommends she use to diversify into high
    yielding bank stocks held in her share trading
    account
  • She draws down an additional 100,000 under the
    GEI plus Facility to invest in the MSI Cash
    Trust, further diversifying her exposure

Case Study 1 Diversify with a Reverse GEI
plusFor adviser use only
  • Potential benefits
  • Matilda may benefit from
  • A larger diversified investment portfolio (as
    opposed to single-stock BHP holding)
  • Potentially higher distributions paid by the bank
    stocks and MSI Cash Trust within the GEI plus
    portfolio
  • She retains her BHP shares and can benefit from
    any future price gains, but now also has capital
    protection over her 100,000 BHP holding
  • Potential tax deductibility of a portion of her
    GEI loan interest payments
  • The Adviser receives
  • Trailing commission from Matildas GEI plus
    Facility
  • Brokerage on the bank stocks purchased control
    over an additional 100,000 within her share
    trading account
  • Potential risks
  • Matilda should be aware that this strategy has
    the following risks
  • That the bank stocks she acquires using the GEI
    loan proceeds may underperform, and that payment
    of interest costs may exceed any potential gains
    received from positive performance
  • That her investment portfolios distribution
    yield does not meet her expectations
  • That she faces break costs if she wishes to
    unwind her GEI plus Facility early
  • Before Matilda invests she should carefully
    consider the risks outlined in the GEI plus
    Brochure and consult her financial adviser.

  • Client situation
  • Charlotte is nervous about re-investing back into
    shares after experiencing some capital losses
    during the GFC and the recent global market
    volatility.
  • She has become risk averse, and now only holds a
    200,000 Term Deposit yielding 6 pa.
  • Possible investment strategy
  • Her adviser informs her that she can create a
    200,000 portfolio exposure of ASX listed shares
    and managed funds using a Macquarie GEI plus
    Investment Loan which will enable her to borrow
    100 of the initial investment amount.
  • Charlotte transfers 19,900 out of her Term
    Deposit to prepay the first years interest on a 5
    year GEI plus, leaving 180,100 in the Term
    Deposit earning 6 pa.
  • Assuming that interest and distribution yields
    remain constant, the expected distributions on
    her 200,000 GEI plus portfolio combined with the
    6 interest earned on her remaining Term Deposit
    balance in this example would cover the annual
    interest costs for the four remaining years of
    her GEI term.
  • At the end of the 5 year GEI plus term Charlotte
    will retain ownership of any profitable
    securities in her GEI plus portfolio by repaying
    the GEI loan.

    of the pre-selected Bank Portfolio and the MSI
    Cash Trust on 8 August 2011
  • The investor holds the Term Deposit and GEI for
    the full 5 year term of the GEI plus Facility
  • The GEI plus and Term Deposit interest rates
    remain constant throughout the term
  • The Bank Portfolio has a fully franked divident
    yield of 7.45 pa and the MSI Cash Trust has an
    unfranked distribution yield of 4.65 pa. Assumes
    franking credits are fully available to the

  • This analysis does not take into account the
    timing of cash flows under either investment
    strategy, and assumes that the interest earned on
    the Term Deposit is paid out to the investor,
    rather than capitalised
  • Dividend yields under each scenario remain a
    constant percentage of the initial Bank Portfolio
    value

The analysis does not take into account any
non-deductible interest, capital gains tax
payable on eventual disposal of any profitable
shares that are retained at Maturity of the GEI
or any possible brokerage costs This information
is purely hypothetical and contains many

adviser use only
  • Potential benefits
  • Charlotte may benefit from
  • Potential uncapped capital gains from Bank
    Portfolio Securities that have increased in value
    over the term (no offsetting of gains and
    losses).
  • Increasing the size of her investment portfolio
    from 200,000 (cash only) to 379,012, by
    utilising a GEI loan
  • Receiving 60,095 in distributions from the GEI
    Securities over the 5 years in addition to her
    Term Deposit interest
  • Potential tax deductibility of a portion of her
    GEI interest and franking credit entitlements
    (subject to eligibility)
  • At Maturity, Charlotte may choose to pay out her
    GEI Loan with her Term Deposit and receive the
    Bank Portfolio Securities in her name, thereby
    delaying any CGT event until she disposes of
    these Securities
  • Charlottes adviser will receive upfront
    commission on acquisition of her GEI Securities
    and annual trailing commission on her loan.
  • Potential risks
  • Charlotte should be aware that this strategy has
    the following risks
  • That her investment portfolios distribution
    yield does not meet her expectations, and
    interest rates may change, potentially adversely
    impacting her worse case scenario
  • That the investment portfolio she acquires using
    the GEI loan may underperform, and that payment
    of interest costs may exceed any potential gains
    received from positive performance
  • That she faces break costs if she wishes to
    unwind her GEI plus Facility early
  • Before Charlotte invests she should carefully
    consider the risks outlined in the GEI plus
    Brochure and consult her financial adviser.
