On 27 November 2008 the Fund's performance benchmark changed from the UBS Global Real Estate Investors Index - AUD (Hedged TR) to the UBS Global Real Estate Investors Index - AUD (Hedged net TR).
Background
Benchmark returns for the Fund have been calculated using the UBS Global Real Estate Investors Index - AUD (Hedged net TR) since 30 September 2004, which is when this index became available. Prior to that date, the UBS Global Real Estate Investors Index - AUD (Hedged TR) was used. Prior to 27 November 2008, benchmark returns were provided gross of withholding tax, while performance for the AMP Capital Global Property Securities Fund has always been shown on a net basis. The net benchmark return now being provided is a more appropriate measure, as it provides investors with directly comparable performance for the Fund and the benchmark, resulting in greater accuracy of relative returns.

AMP Capital Total Return Fund
12 October 2009: Update on Fund investment advisers and leverage levels
As a result of a recent strategic review of its capability, AMP Capital advise that Dorset Management (Dorset) will no longer act as primary investment adviser for the AMP Capital Total Return Fund (the Fund). Internal changes at Dorset recently culminated in the departure of four key personnel from the Dorset business. AMP Capital has decided to retain the services of these four individuals to continue in their roles as investment advisers to the Fund. This decision has been made to ensure there is no disruption to the inputs into the investment process of the Fund. It will also ensure that the key individuals who have advised the Fund recently can continue in that capacity.
It is AMP Capital’s intention to consistently monitor and review our advisory arrangements to ensure that the best interests of unitholders are being served.
In addition to this change, we also advise that the Fund will be operating with leverage levels lower than those outlined in the Product Disclosure Statement and potentially as low as zero. The investment strategy states that we typically expect the Fund to be leveraged by 1.5 to 2.5 times. However, it also indicates that in deciding the appropriate amount of leverage we will take into account the levels of risk and degree of diversification adopted by the underlying fund managers. On this basis we have decided that it is in the best interests of investors in the Fund to lower the level of leverage in the current economic climate. Should the leverage within the Fund return to normal levels, we will update investors of the change.

From 29 April 2008, the unit price used to calculate your withdrawal value will generally be the price prevailing on the day we process your withdrawal (or part withdrawal) request, not the day you notify us of your intention to withdraw.
Staff Investment Programme PDSUnder 'Withdrawal prices and payment times' section on page 58 of the Staff Investment Programme PDS dated 10 March 2008, the first paragraph is deleted and replaced with the following:
Withdrawal prices and payment timesWe normally determine the market value and net asset value of a fund at least each business day, using the market prices of the assets in which a fund is invested, other than for the AMP Capital Structured High Yield Fund, AMP Capital Core Infrastructure Fund, AMP Capital Total Return Fund and Future Directions Property (Feeder) Fund. For these funds, the unit price used to calculate your withdrawal value will generally be the price prevailing on the day we process your withdrawal (or part withdrawal) request, not the day you notify us of your intention to withdraw.
