2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. Thesepolicies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated in the following text.

(a) Basis of Preparation

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards,other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act2001 in Australia.

The financial report is prepared on the basis of fair value measurement of assets and liabilities except whereotherwise stated.

The statement of financial position is presented on a liquidity basis. Assets and liabilities are presented indecreasing order of liquidity and do not distinguish between current and non-current.

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2015

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(a) Basis of Preparation (continued)

(i) AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Offsetting Financial Assets and FinancialLiabilities

AASB 2012-3 amends AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation to clarify that to set off an asset with aliability:

! The right of set-off must be available and legally enforceable for all counterparties in the normal courseof business, as well as in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy;

! Certain gross settlement mechanisms (such as through a clearing house) may be equivalent to netsettlement;

! Master netting arrangements where the legal right of offset is only enforceable on the occurrence of afuture event (such as default of the counterparty) continue to not meet the requirements for netting.

AASB 2012-3 is required to be retrospectively applied.

Application in the current period has not had a material impact on the financial position nor performance of theTrust.

(ii) AASB 2013-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Investment Entities

AASB 2013-5 defines an investment entity and provides an exception to the consolidation requirements inAASB 10. Investment entities are required to measure particular subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss,rather than consolidate them. However, where a non-investment entity parent ultimately controls an investmententity, the parent must still consolidate the investment entity and all the underlying subsidiaries, reversing fairvalue used by the investment entity. The amendments also set out new disclosure requirements for investmententities.

AASB 2013-5 is required to be retrospectively applied, however, adjustments are not required for subsidiaryinvestments that are disposed of or for which control is lost before the due date of initial application, 1 July2014.

As the Trust does not have any subsidiary investments, the application of this standard has no impact on thefinancial position nor performance of the Trust.

Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards

The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by theInternational Accounting Standards Board.

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2015

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(b) Financial instruments

(i) Classification

The Trust's investments are categorised as at fair value through profit or loss. They comprise:

! Financial instruments held for trading

These include derivative financial instruments such as options, futures, credit default swaps,interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. The Trust does not designate anyderivatives as hedges in a hedging relationship.

! Financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition

These include financial assets that are not held for trading purposes and which may be sold.These include investments in debt securities.

Financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at inceptionare those that are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordancewith the Trust’s documented investment strategy. The Trust’s policy is for the Responsible Entityto evaluate the information about these financial assets on a fair value basis together with otherrelated financial information.

Loans and receivables comprise amounts due to the Trust.

(ii) Recognition/derecognition

The Trust recognises financial assets and financial liabilities on the date it becomes party to thecontractual agreement (trade date) and recognises changes in fair value of the financial assets orfinancial liabilities from this date.

Investments are derecognised when the right to receive cashflows from the investments has expired orthe Trust has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

(iii) Measurement

(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss are measured initially atfair value excluding any transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of thefinancial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs on financial assets and financial liabilities at fairvalue through profit or loss are expensed immediately. Subsequent to initial recognition, all instrumentsheld at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with changes in their fair valuerecognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

! Fair value in an active market

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities traded in active markets is based on theirquoted market prices at the statement of financial position date without any deduction forestimated future selling costs. Financial assets are priced at current bid prices, while financialliabilities are priced at current asking prices.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(b) Financial instruments (continued)

(iii) Measurement (continued)

(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss (continued)

! Fair value in an inactive or unquoted market

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not traded in an active market isdetermined using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length markettransactions, reference to the current fair value of a substantially similar other instrument,discounted cash flow techniques, option pricing models or any other valuation technique thatprovides a reliable estimate of prices obtained in actual market transactions.

Where discounted cash flow techniques are used, estimated future cash flows are based onmanagement’s best estimates and the discount rate used in a market rate at the statement offinancial position date applicable for an instrument with similar terms and conditions.

For other pricing models, inputs are based on market data at the statement of financial positiondate. Fair values for unquoted equity investments are estimated, if possible, using applicablepricing/earnings ratios for similar listed companies adjusted to reflect the specific circumstancesof the issuer.

The fair value of derivatives that are not exchange traded is estimated at the amount that theTrust would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the statement of financial position datetaking into account current market conditions (volatility and appropriate yield curve) and thecurrent creditworthiness of the counterparties.

Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 3(e).

(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are measured initially at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequentlyamortised using the effective interest method, less impairment losses if any. Such assets are reviewedat each statement of financial position date to determine whether there is objective evidence ofimpairment.

If any such indication of impairment exists, an impairment calculation is undertaken and any impairmentloss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as the difference between the asset’scarrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effectiveinterest rate.

If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss recognised on a financial asset carried atamortised cost decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after thewrite-down, the write-down is reversed through the statement of comprehensive income.

(iv) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement offinancial position if, and only if, there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts at alltimes and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liabilitysimultaneously.

Wellington Management Portfolios (Australia) - Australian Global Total Return Portfolio

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2015

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Net assets attributable to unitholders

Units are redeemable at the unitholders' option and are therefore classified as financial liabilities. The units canbe put back to the Trust at any time for cash based on the redemption price. The fair value of redeemable unitsis measured at the redemption amount that is payable (based on the redemption unit price) at the statement offinancial position date if unitholders exercised their right to put the units back to the Trust.

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash includes cash on hand and deposits heldat call with financial institutions. Cash equivalents include other short-term, highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition that are readily convertible to knownamounts of cash, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and are held for the purpose ofmeeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. Bank overdrafts, if any, areshown separately on the statement of financial position.

Payments and receipts relating to the purchase and sale of investment securities are classified as cash flowsfrom operating activities, as movements in the fair value of these securities represent the Trust's main incomegenerating activity.

(e) Cash collateral payable

Cash collateral payable comprises cash received as collateral for over-the-counter derivative transactions. Thecash is held by the Trust and is payable to the broker.

(f) Margin accounts

Margin accounts comprise cash held as collateral for derivative transactions. The cash is held by the broker andis only available to meet margin calls.

(g) Investment income

Interest income is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method forall financial instruments that are not held at fair value through profit or loss. Interest income on assets held atfair value through profit or loss is included in the net gains/(losses) on financial instruments. Other changes infair value for such instruments are recorded in accordance with the policies described in note 2(b).

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financialliability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interestrate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts throughout the expected life ofthe financial instrument, or a shorter period where applicable, to the net carrying amount of the financial assetor liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Trust estimates cash flows considering allcontractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment options) but does not consider futurecredit losses. The calculation includes all fees paid or received between the parties to the contract that are anintegral part of the effective interest rate, including transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts.

Swap income is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the right to receive such income isestablished.

(h) Expenses

All expenses, including Responsible Entity/Investment Manager fees, are recognised in the statement ofcomprehensive income on an accruals basis.

13

Wellington Management Portfolios (Australia) - Australian Global Total Return Portfolio

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2015

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(i) Income tax

Under current legislation, the Trust is not subject to income tax as unitholders are presently entitled to theincome of the Trust.

Financial instruments held at fair value may include unrealised capital gains. Should such a gain be realised,that portion of the gain that is subject to capital gains tax will be distributed so that the Trust is not subject tocapital gains tax.

Realised capital losses are not distributed to unitholders but are retained in the Trust to be offset against anyrealised capital gains. If realised capital gains exceed realised capital losses, the excess is distributed tounitholders.

The benefits of tax paid are passed on to unitholders.

(j) Distributions

In accordance with the Trust Constitution, the Trust distributes its distributable income, and any other amountsdetermined by the Responsible Entity, to unitholders by cash or reinvestment. The distributions are recognisedin the statement of comprehensive income as finance costs attributable to unitholders.

(k) Increase/decrease in net assets attributable to unitholders

Income not distributed is included in net assets attributable to unitholders. Movements in net assets attributableto unitholders are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as finance costs.

(l) Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the Trust’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primaryeconomic environment in which it operates (the “functional currency”). This is the Australian dollar, whichreflects the currency of the economy in which the Trust competes for funds and is regulated. TheAustralian dollar is also the Trust’s presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange ratesprevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from thesettlement of such transactions and from the translations at year end exchange rates of monetary assetsand liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensiveincome.

The Trust does not isolate that portion of gains or losses on securities and derivative financialinstruments that are measured at fair value through profit or loss and which is due to changes in foreignexchange rates from that which is due to changes in the market price of securities. Such fluctuations areincluded with the net gains on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.

Wellington Management Portfolios (Australia) - Australian Global Total Return Portfolio

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2015

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(m) Due from/to brokers

Amounts due from/to brokers represent receivables for securities sold and payables for securities purchasedthat have been contracted for but not yet delivered by the end of the year. A provision for impairment ofamounts due from brokers is established when there is objective evidence that the Trust will not be able tocollect all amounts due from the relevant broker. Significant financial difficulties of the broker, probability thatthe broker will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default in payments are considered indicatorsthat the amount due from brokers is impaired.

(n) Receivables

Receivables may include amounts for interest. Interest is accrued at the reporting date from the time of lastpayment in accordance with the policy set out in note 2(g) above. Amounts are generally received within 30days of being recorded as receivables.

Receivables may include such items as Reduced Input Tax Credits ("RITC").

(o) Payables

Payables include liabilities and accrued expenses owing by the Trust which are unpaid as at year end.

The distribution amount payable to unitholders as at year end is recognised separately in the statement offinancial position as unitholders are presently entitled to the distributable income under the Trust Constitution.

(p) Applications and redemptions

Applications received for units in the Trust are recorded net of any entry fees payable prior to the issue of unitsin the Trust. Redemptions from the Trust are recorded gross of any exit fees payable after the cancellation ofunits redeemed.

(q) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

The GST incurred on the costs of various services provided to the Trust by third parties such as ResponsibleEntity/Investment Manager fees have been passed onto the Trust. The Trust qualifies for RITChence Responsible Entity fees and other expenses have been recognised in the statement of comprehensiveincome net of the amount of GST recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office ("ATO"). Accounts payableare inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from the ATO is included in receivables in thestatement of financial position. Cash flows relating to GST are included as cash flow from operating activities inthe statement of cash flows on a gross basis.

(r) Use of estimates

The Responsible Entity makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets andliabilities within the next financial year. Estimates are continually evaluated and based on historical experienceand other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under thecircumstances.

Certain financial instruments, for example, over-the-counter derivatives and unquoted securities are fair valuedusing valuation techniques. Where valuation techniques (for example, pricing models) are used to determinefair values, they are validated and periodically reviewed by experienced personnel of the Responsible Entity,independent of the area that created them. Models are calibrated by back-testing to actual transactions toensure that outputs are reliable.

Wellington Management Portfolios (Australia) - Australian Global Total Return Portfolio

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2015

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(r) Use of estimates (continued)

Models use observable data to the extent practicable. However, inputs such as credit risk (both own andcounterparty), volatilities and correlations require management to make estimates. Changes in assumptionsabout these inputs could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

For certain other financial instruments, including amounts due from/to brokers and accounts payable, thecarrying amounts approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term nature of these financialinstruments.

(s) New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30June 2015 reporting periods. The Responsible Entity’s assessment of the impact of these new standards (to theextent relevant to the Trust) and interpretations is set out below:

(i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising fromAASB 9, AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Conceptual Framework, Materialityand Financial Instruments - Part C and related amendment AASB 2010-7 and AASB 2014-1 Amendments toAccounting Standards

AASB 9 Financial Instruments applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and willtherefore apply to the Trust from 1 July 2018.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments requires all financial instruments to be measured at fair value unless the criteriafor amortised cost are met. The application of the standard is not expected to change the measurement basis ofany of the Trust's current financial instruments, however, AASB 9 Financial Instruments allows the Trust to electto present gains and losses on financial instruments held at fair value through other comprehensive income,which may impact the presentation of these gains and losses. The impact of the standard may also change ifthe nature of the Trust's activities or investments changes prior to initial application.

The Trust is continuing to assess the full impact of adopting AASB 9 Financial Instruments.

Standards and interpretations that are not expected to have material impact on the Trust have not beenincluded.

(t) Rounding of amounts

Pursuant to Class Order 98/100 issued by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission, relating to the"rounding off" of amounts in the directors' report and financial report, amounts in the directors' report andfinancial report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars in accordance with that Class Order,unless otherwise indicated.

3 Financial risk management

(a) Strategy in using financial instruments

The Trust’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (which may include price risk, foreignexchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Responsible Entity’s overall risk management programme focuses on ensuring compliance with the Trust’sinvestment guidelines and seeks to maximise the returns derived for the level of risk to which the Trust isexposed. The Trust uses derivatives and other instruments for trading purposes and in connection with its riskmanagement activities.

16

Wellington Management Portfolios (Australia) - Australian Global Total Return Portfolio

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2015

3 Financial risk management (continued)

(a) Strategy in using financial instruments (continued)

The Trust may use derivative financial instruments:

! to gain or reduce the Trust’s exposure to a particular security or index

! to gain or reduce market exposure in the portfolio

! for currency hedging

! to hedge the credit exposure within the portfolio.

Derivatives are not used to gear (leverage) the portfolio. Gearing a portfolio would occur if the level of exposureto the markets exceed the underlying value of the Trust.

Financial risk management is monitored by the Investment Manager's's risk management department underpolicies approved by the Responsible Entity's senior managers or by the board of directors of the ResponsibleEntity.

The Board Audit Risk and Compliance Committee of the Responsible Entity reviews any identified high andmedium severity exceptions to internal risk policies and procedures on a quarterly basis.

(b) Market risk

(i) Price risk

Price risk for the Trust's debt securities and derivatives is a function of foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk,credit risk and liquidity risk.

(ii) Foreign exchange risk

The Trust holds both monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other thanthe Australian dollar. The foreign exchange risk relating to non-monetary assets and liabilities is a component ofprice risk. Foreign exchange risk arises as the value of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in othercurrencies will fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates.

Foreign exchange risk on monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities is managed by hedging undesiredcurrency exposure.

Foreign exchange risk on monetary assets and monetary liabilities is measured using sensitivity analysis. Thefollowing table summarises the sensitivity of the Trust to foreign exchange risk as at 30 June 2015 and 30 June2014. The sensitivity of profit/(loss) for the year and the impact on net assets attributable to unitholders is theeffect of a reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates on monetary assets and liabilities held at yearend. If exchange rates increased or decreased by 10%, with all other variables remaining constant, theapproximate movement in net assets attributable to unitholders would amount to the following.

(iii) Interest rate risk

The Trust is subject to interest rate risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates. Anyexcess cash and cash equivalents are invested at short-term market interest rates.

Interest rate risk is managed by:

! only allowing investments into certain instrument types

! ensuring the Trust is tracking the benchmark within permitted ranges

! limiting the amount invested in interest rate securities

! monitoring target interest rate durations.

The Trust's financial assets and financial liabilities expose it to risks associated with the effects of fluctuations inthe prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial position and cash flow.

The table below demonstrates the sensitivity of the Trust's profit/(loss) for the year to a reasonably possiblechange in interest rates, with all other variables held constant. The sensitivity of the profit/(loss) for the year isthe effect of the assumed changes in interest rates on net interest income for the year based on the floatingrate financial assets at year end and changes in fair value of investments for the year based on revaluing fixedrate financial assets at year end.

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the Trust's investment in debt securities.

Other credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and other financial institutions,counterparties to derivatives and amounts due from brokers. None of these assets are impaired nor past duebut not impaired.

Credit risk is managed by:

! managing its exposures to issuers, deposit taking institutions, brokers and other counterparties

! using credit default swaps to manage credit exposure.

Credit default swap exposures are managed through limiting the aggregate long, short and net exposurespermitted to such instruments by the Trust. Credit default exposures are also incorporated in existing Trustexposure limits by "looking-through" the contract to the underlying issuer-level exposure being provided.

The exposure to credit risk for cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and other financial institutionsand counterparties to derivatives is low as all counterparties generally have a rating of at least BBB+ (2014: A-)as determined by Standard and Poor's rating agency.

In accordance with the Trust’s policy, the Investment Manager's risk management department monitors theTrust’s credit exposure on a daily basis.

(d) Liquidity risk

The Trust is exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable units. It therefore invests the majority of itsassets in investments that can be generally liquidated within a short period of time.

The investments of the Trust may become illiquid. As a result, the Trust may not be able to liquidate quickly itsinvestments in these instruments at an amount close to their fair value, or at all, to meet its liquidityrequirements. No such investments were held at the statement of financial position date.

Liquidity risk is managed by:

! restricting the use of borrowing in order to ensure the fund has no debt obligations which may comprisesolvency

! managing the exposure to less liquid securities.

Redeemable units are redeemed at the request of unitholders subject to the Trust's offer document and TrustConstitution (as applicable).

The table below analyses the Trust’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remainingperiod to the earliest possible contractual maturity date at 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014. The amounts in thetable are contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(e) Fair value estimation

The carrying amounts of all the Trust's financial assets and financial liabilities at the end of each reportingperiod approximated their fair values as all financial assets and financial liabilities not fair valued are short-termin nature.

The Responsible Entity classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects thesubjectivity of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

! Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).

! Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, eitherdirectly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).

! Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservableinputs) (level 3).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety isdetermined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If afair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservableinputs, that measurement is a level 3 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fairvalue measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

The determination of what constitutes 'observable' requires significant judgement by the Responsible Entity.The Responsible Entity considers observable data to be market data that is readily available, regularlydistributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that areactively involved in the relevant market.

(e) Fair value estimation (continued)

The fair value of publicly traded derivatives are based on quoted market prices or binding dealer pricequotations at the reporting date (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions) and havetherefore been classified as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

For debt securities and over-the-counter derivatives, fair value is determined using valuation techniques.Valuation techniques include net present value techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which marketobservable prices exist, options pricing models and other relevant valuation models. These financialinstruments have therefore been classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

(f) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are presented net in the statement of financial position where the Trustcurrently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a netbasis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Certain derivative assets and liabilities are subject to legally enforceable master netting arrangements, such asan International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreement. The ISDA agreements inplace meet the criteria for offsetting in the statement of financial position as the Trust has a current legallyenforceable right of payment netting to net same day, same currency payments, by derivative transaction type.

In certain circumstances, for example, when a credit event such as a default occurs, all outstandingtransactions under an ISDA agreement are terminated, the termination value is assessed, and only a netamount is payable in settlement of all transactions. As at 30 June 2015, if this netting agreement was applied tothe derivative portfolio the derivative assets of $11,174,851 (2014: $14,158,475) would be reduced by$3,097,431 (2014: $4,631,232) to the net amount of $8,077,420 (2014: $9,527,243) and the derivative liabilitiesof $4,479,982 (2014: $6,551,730) would be reduced by $3,097,431 (2014: $4,631,232) to the net amount of$1,382,551 (2014: $1,920,498).

The Trust has cash collateral pledged at 30 June 2015 of $4,056,765 (2014: $5,493,489) in relation to itsderivative exposures. In the event of default, this collateral would further reduce the net derivative assets of$11,174,851 (2014: $14,158,475) as calculated above, to the net amount of $7,118,086 (2014: $8,664,986).
