Third Link Investment Managers Pty Limited (Third Link) has been appointed by Treasury Group Investment Services (TIS) to invest and manage the investments of the Fund. Third Link holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL 321611).
All fees received by Third Link from managing the Fund’s investments, net of expenses incurred, are donated to Social Ventures Australia Limited (SVA), an Australian based non-profit organisation. Third Link may decide at some future point in time to cease donating some or all of its net fees to SVA, in which case it is intended they will then be donated to other non-profit organisations with deductible gift recipient status.
Third Link is a private company founded by Chris Cuffe. The directors are Chris Cuffe and Ashley Owen. The shares of the company are owned by a private trust for which Chris is sole trustee and appointor. The beneficiary of the private trust is the Christopher Cuffe Foundation which has been established to facilitate charitable giving.
Chris Cuffe and Ashley Owen do not earn any fees or salary or any other financial benefit from their involvement with Third Link. Chris is a part time salaried employee of SVA.
Chris is the portfolio manager within Third Link for the Fund. Should Chris one day cease his involvement with the Third Link Growth Fund (for example, for health reasons or if he ceases to be a director of Third Link) then Ashley Owen or other appropriately skilled employees of Third Link would assume this role. TIS (the responsible entity for the Fund) may also choose to appoint another qualified investment manager.
TIS may terminate the appointment of Third Link with twelve months prior written notice providing this is approved by a resolution passed at a meeting of unitholders
