NZ Mortgage Income Trust (No. 2 Fund) Group Investment Fund

This is an opportunity to invest in units in a group investment fund called the NZ Mortgage Income Trust (No. 2 Fund) Group Investment Fund.

NZ Mortgage Income Trust (No. 2 Fund) Group Investment Fund was formed by Fund Managers Otago Limited in October 2007 to meet the needs of those investors who may be disadvantaged by the Portfolio Investment Entity (P.I.E.) regime.

NZ Mortgage Income Trust (No. 2 Fund) aims to offer an investment in a diversified portfolio of registered first mortgages and term deposits with registered banks within New Zealand, providing returns to investors benchmarked against the average return from the advertised $5,000 one year bank term deposit interest rate with five banks – ASB, ANZ, BNZ, the National Bank and Westpac.

The Manager, Fund Managers Otago Limited, is a company that is focused on maximising returns for investors. Although managed from Dunedin, the Fund operates nationwide and lends nationwide to ensure a geographic spread of quality registered first mortgages.

Investors in the NZ Mortgage Income Trust (No. 2 Fund) benefit from the Fund being managed by an experienced Fund Manager, Fund Managers Otago Limited. The funds that are invested in registered first mortgages were invested in accordance with strict investment guidelines under the supervision of the trustee, Trustees Executors Limited.

The Fund comes under the Resident Withholding Tax regime and we recommend to that potential investors seek taxation advice from a professional financial advisor or tax specialist before investing in this Fund.

NZ Mortgage Income Trust Group Investment Fund – P.I.E. Fund
(Not currently open for investments.)

NZ Mortgage Income Trust Fund Group Investment Fund – P.I.E. Fund ("Fund") has its funds invested in a diversified pool of registered first mortgages and term deposits with registered banks within New Zealand, providing returns to investors benchmarked against the average return from the advertised $5,000 one year bank term deposit interest rate with five banks – ASB, ANZ, BNZ, the National Bank and Westpac.NZ Mortgage Income Trust began as a Unit Trust in 1994 with unitholder funds totalling just over $7 million. In 2001, with unitholder funds totalling just over $50 million, the unit trust was transferred into a group investment fund with the same name, enabling unitholders' income from the Fund to be taxed at their own resident withholding tax rates, not the blanket 30% tax rate that applies to a unit trust. On 1 October 2007 the Fund elected to become a portfolio investment entity ("PIE").

A PIE registered Fund allows for taxation at an individual's prescribed investor rate, with a ceiling rate of 28%, providing an appropriate tax advantage applicable to those on P.I.R's at lesser levels.
