BY CLICKING ON “I AGREE”, I DECLARE I AM A WHOLESALE CLIENT AS DEFINED IN THE CORPORATIONS ACT 2001.
What is a Wholesale Client?
A person or entity is a “wholesale client” if they satisfy the requirements of section 761G of the Corporations Act.
This commonly includes a person or entity:
who holds an Australian Financial Services License
who has or controls at least $10 million (and may include funds held by an associate or under a trust that the person manages)
that is a body regulated by APRA other than a trustee of:
(i) a superannuation fund;
(ii) an approved deposit fund;
(iii) a pooled superannuation trust; or
(iv) a public sector superannuation scheme.
within the meaning of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993that is a body registered under the Financial Corporations Act 1974.
that is a trustee of:
(i) a superannuation fund; or
(ii) an approved deposit fund; or
(iii) a pooled superannuation trust; or
(iv) a public sector superannuation scheme
within the meaning of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 and the fund, trust or scheme has net assets of at least $10 million.that is a listed entity or a related body corporate of a listed entity
that is an exempt public authority
that is a body corporate, or an unincorporated body, that:
(i) carries on a business of investment in financial products, interests in land or other investments; and
(ii) for those purposes, invests funds received (directly or indirectly) following an offer or invitation to the public, within the meaning of section 82 of the Corporations Act 2001, the terms of which provided for the funds subscribed to be invested for those purposes.that is a foreign entity which, if established or incorporated in Australia, would be covered by one of the preceding paragraphs.
Thematic investing
Circular Economy
Recycling at the end of a product’s lifecycle is not enough. Making a dent in resource destruction on the front end and waste on the back end requires a complete overhaul of manufacturing and production chains. Circular solutions extend product life and also reincarnate resources for reuse.

Why invest in circular economy?
The linear “take, make, dispose” economy is depleting natural resources and generating waste at an unprecedented pace. As populations grow, cities expand and living standards increase around the globe, resources are becoming even scarcer, and waste generation is intensifying. Without change, by 2050, society will need the equivalent of three planet Earths to sustain our rates of consumption. In contrast to linear production, circular solutions focus on maximizing product lifespans and resource efficiency.
The strategy
The Circular Economy strategy invests in enablers and champions of the circular economy. Circular enablers are companies that provide the tools that “enable” other companies to become more circular. Circular champions are those that are leaders in implementing circular practices within their own operations. Both enablers and champions have a natural place in a circular world.
Circular enablers include repair & maintenance organizations (MROs) and predictive maintenance solutions to help firms avoid costly breakdowns, extend equipment life, and reduce unnecessary replacements. Simulation software and digital tools help design product prototypes and optimize product features and manufacturing using fewer physical and more sustainable resources. Moreover, the power of AI and IoT is expanding the opportunity set even further by using embedded sensors in smart buildings, smart cities and smart factories to dynamically monitor and optimize resource use while reducing emissions and waste. They also help companies to cut logistical inefficiencies across entire value chains.
Renewable feedstock, recyclable and even bio-degradable input materials significantly reduce the environmental impact of products. While end-of-life solutions such as recycling and recirculating materials are important; a truly circular economy requires a holistic approach that tackles waste at every stage of the value chain.
