Structured For Success
In our previous 'The Fund Intro' blogs (Objective, Investment Thesis, Acquisition Strategy), we talk about how the CHROME TEMPLE Investments Mach 1 Fund ("Mach 1 Fund" or the "Fund") offers investors a unique opportunity to indulge their passion for performance cars with the potential to grow their wealth - with particular emphasis on the importance of adopting a professional, ‘results-before-romance’ approach over a hobbyist collector's bias.

While the allure of automotive passion assets is expansive, our professional commitment to a prudent investment strategy underscores the Fund's core identity as a viable investment vehicle.

The Fund's professional approach extends to our structure (which we'll detail below) and our Governance & 3rd Party Oversight, which you can read about in our next blog piece. By prioritising accountability, transparency, and integrity, we aim to achieve industry best standards. From engaging experienced professionals in fund management and structure during the planning stages, to meticulously designing our governance framework, we are committed to adhering to industry best practices and delivering optimal outcomes for our investors. So join us as we explore the inner workings of the Mach 1 Fund and discover how its robust structure sets the stage for operational success.

Symphonic Balance
Think of our Fund's structure as a well balanced engine, where each part plays a crucial role in creating a harmonious whole. From the trustee to the administrator to the investment manager, every player contributes to managing and safeguarding the Fund's investors' interests. By orchestrating these elements seamlessly, we aim to create an environment where the Fund's operations can sustainably thrive.

Why This Structure Works
The appointment of a trustee and administrator isn't just a regulatory requirement – it's also a strategic necessity aimed at building investor trust by: enhancing investor protection, ensuring compliance with industry regulations, maintaining accurate record-keeping, promoting operational efficiency, and providing independent oversight.

Roles Defined
Each component of our structure plays a unique and crucial role with the purpose of safeguarding investor interests and setting up the Fund with a framework for operational success. The Trustee oversees the security and digital record keeping of assets, the Administrator manages the Fund's accounting and maintains investor records, and the Investment Manager steers the Fund with the aim of financial success. Read on to find out more about each party.

Trustee: The Guardian Of Investor Interests
At the core of the Fund's structure is the Trustee, Specialised Investment and Lending Corporation Ltd, ACN 149 520 918, holder of AFSL number 407100 (“SILC”). The Trustee is a fiduciary appointment charged with overseeing the Fund and acting in the best interests of investors. The Trustee ensures compliance with the Fund's governing documents (Trust Deed) and duties and obligations under Australian law. They play a crucial role in safeguarding the investors interests, providing an additional layer of protection and oversight.

Custodian: Safeguarding And Settling Assets
SILC is also responsible for overseeing the Fund's assets. They hold the electronic records (bill of sale), and keep track of investment activities to ensure that the Fund's portfolio is accurately reflected. SILC also plays a key role in executing transactions, settling trades, and holding cash on behalf of the Fund. Their role is vital in maintaining the integrity and security of the Fund's assets.

Administrator: The Operational Backbone
The Fund’s Administration Manager (SILC Funds Administration Pty Ltd) is the operational backbone of the Fund. They handle day-to-day activities such as Fund accounting, financial reporting, and compliance monitoring. This includes calculating the Net Asset Value (NAV) and establishing the unit price of the Fund. Our Administrator plays a pivotal role in relieving the Investment Manager of administrative burdens, allowing the Investment Manager to focus on investment decisions.

Registry: Managing Investor Information
The Administration Manager also manages the unit register for the Fund. They maintain accurate records of investor transactions, including applications, redemptions, and changes in the unit registry. They are also the point of contact for investors, handling inquiries, distributing reports, and facilitating communication between the Fund and its investors. This role is crucial for maintaining transparent and efficient communication channels.

Investment Manager: Crafting The Portfolio Strategy
CHROME TEMPLE Investments Pty Ltd(“CTi”) is the Fund’s investment manager. We are the most visible figure in the Fund Structure and are responsible for managing the Fund's assets and assisting in the execution of the Fund's investment objective. With the support of the Investment Committee, we make decisions on asset allocation, asset selection, and overall portfolio management. We believe our experience and track record are key factors to the success and wealth creation of the Fund.

Investment Committee: Conductors Of Strategic Longevity
CTi’s Investment Committee plays a crucial role in the governance and decision-making processes of the Fund. Its primary responsibility is to provide oversight, strategic direction, and expert guidance on the Fund's investment activities. Composed of a group of seasoned professionals, they have the responsibility of formulating the Investment Manager’s overall investment strategy and policies, establishing investment guidelines, monitoring and overseeing the investment and divestment of assets to ensure compliance with the investment policies and guidelines. Their expertise is crucial in overseeing the Investment Manager, conducting risk assessments, and ensuring that the Fund adheres to its predefined strategy.
