Responsible Investing Approach
The Fund excludes companies whose activities, as assessed by Magellan, may have wide-ranging detrimental impacts on society. These exclusions encompass companies with material exposures to the production of tobacco products, gambling, as well as companies involved in the production of alcohol, adult entertainment and handguns. Materiality is normally assessed as greater than 5% or 10% of a company's revenues exposed to the exclusionary activity. Revenues are sourced from MSCI ESG Manager. Companies are reviewed for the materiality of their exposures to environmental, social and governance issues, with assessments incorporated into their perspectives on business risks. Magellan overlay their proprietary low carbon framework to deliver a portfolio with meaningfully lower carbon intensity than broader equity markets.

Magellan Core ESG Fund
Strategy Summary
The Fund's primary investment objective is to achieve risk-adjusted returns over the medium to long term through investment in a diversified portfolio of companies listed on stock exchanges around the world. This objective incorporates the consideration of ESG factors and the application of our low carbon framework. The Fund's portfolio will comprise 70-90 securities at any one time but will also have some exposure to cash. It is not the Magellan's intention to hedge the foreign currency exposure of the Fund arising from investments in overseas markets. The Fund can use foreign exchange contracts to facilitate settlement of stock purchases. The Fund may also use exchange traded derivatives, in a limited manner, for risk management purposes.
