It influences how the objectives of Goodman PLUS Trust (Trust) are set and achieved, how risk is monitored and assessed and how performance is optimised. The Trust recognises that an effective corporate governance culture is critical to success. We have designed and implemented a substantial range of governance initiatives, described in detail below, and we believe that our corporate governance systems are robust and effective. We recognise corporate governance is not static and systems will need to evolve over time to meet the demands of a changing market and corporate circumstances. At all times, we strive to achieve governance outcomes which balance the needs or requirements of the Trust, its stakeholders, regulators and the market. The corporate governance statement below outlines the ways in which the Trust has met the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (2nd Edition). Any departures to implementation of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations are described in the corporate governance statement below. As a result of the Trust not having employees of its own, and as a result of the limited business activities of the Trust, some of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s recommendations are undertaken by Goodman Group (Goodman) rather than the Trust, as set out below.

This is likely to lead to increasing focus on companies’ approaches to diversity +61-2-8225-4891 issues, including female representation on company boards. This report looks at data [email protected] on women directors on ASX100 company boards.

At 8 August 2011 there were 134 women on ASX100 boards, a 46% increase from FY08. ASX100 companies with no female board directors were AQP, CQO, EGP, FMG, IPL, JHX, LEI, LYC, OSH, PDN, PRY, RHC, RMD, SGM and SWM. Companies with three female directors (the highest number identified) are AMP, BEN, CBA, MQG, QAN, QBE and WBC. Seven female directors each currently hold three ASX100 directorships. Business Case for Gender Diversity — Reibey Institute research found that those ASX500 companies with women directors on 30 June 2010 had a 3-year return on equity (ROE) 10.7% higher than those without any women directors. The 5-year ROE was 11.1% higher.

The three topics are: stakeholder engagement, climate change and human capital management. The aim of this trilogy of research projects is to delve deeper into 3 key areas of sustainability reporting by analysing the level and quality of disclosures by large Australian corporates. Stakeholder engagement (the theme of this particular report) has for a long time been recognised as extremely important for corporations, helping to manage (social and environmental) risks, improve reputation, identify new business opportunities by gauging customer/consumer needs and concerns, boost employee morale and input into business strategy and policy. This report summarises the findings of the research, identifying any trends, outlining strengths and weaknesses and making recommendations for the future. The two research papers on climate change disclosures and human capital management disclosures will be published later in 2007.

    Professional Selection Quarterly Review Fund Manager research trips - US and China June 2014 Two of the main drivers of financial markets in recent months have been uncertainty about the recovery in the United States (US), given the unexpectedly sharp slowdown in Q1 growth and concerns about the slowdown in China and the impact on the resource sector. Given the importance of the US and China in a global context and their influence on the Australian resource sector, two of Antares’ senior fund managers, Nick Pashias and Brett McNeill, embarked on research trips to these countries in the June quarter. This article outlines their findings and the implications for Antares share portfolios. The information contained within this article is intended as factual information although we acknowledge that there is a reasonable likelihood of doubt and the information is not intended to imply any recommendation or opinion about a financial product.
