Dear investors and friends,
Thank you for investing with Regal.
We’re delighted to inform our investors and adviser partners of an upcoming change in service provider for unit registry services for the Atlantic Absolute Return Fund, Regal Australian Small Companies Fund, Regal Australian Long Short Equity Fund and the Tasman Market Neutral Fund.
From Monday 25 May 2020, all unit registry services for the above funds will be managed by Boardroom Pty Limited, replacing HSBC Fund Services.
This new partnership will provide our clients with access to Boardroom’s best-in-class unit registry services, ensuring investors can easily track their investments and holding information via a simple and intuitive on-line investor portal (‘InvestorServe’) and gain access to an extensive and highly knowledgeable Australian-based investor support call centre.
In addition, the transition to Boardroom will allow new and existing investors to apply for units in the Regal Funds via a new online application tool. This functionality will be live on the Regal website (www.regalfm.com) from Monday 25 May.
Important Information Regarding Applications for the Tasman and Atlantic Funds this month
As a result of this transition, HSBC will no longer be able to accept and process application monies for subscriptions into our monthly-priced funds, effective immediately. We ask those investors seeking to make an investment in either the Atlantic or Tasman funds for the 1 June subscription date arrange for the funds transfer to occur after Monday 25 May 2020. We will provide investors with the new application bank account details along with an updated Fund Information Memorandum shortly.
Next Steps
On Monday 25 May, Regal investors will receive an email communication from Boardroom notifying them of the change in registry services provider.
This communication will also invite investors to register for Boardroom’s online service portal, InvestorServe (www.investorserve.com.au). This portal will enable investors to access their current holding details, transaction history and existing personal and contact information.
