Booster Investment Scheme 2: Private Land and Property Fund – Climate Statements 20252
Opening remarks

Booster Investment Management Limited (Booster, we) as manager of the Booster Investment Scheme 2 is responsible

for preparing and lodging climate statements for the Fund under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. These climate

statements are split into four sections as outlined in the next page.

These climate statements constitute the second disclosures prepared by Booster for the Fund under the new Aotearoa New

Zealand Climate Standards. Reflecting on the experience of preparing these climate statements, and in evolving business

processes to better support climate considerations, Booster realises that we are on a journey, as we believe is much of the

broader industry. Availability of data including for estimated greenhouse gas emissions (GHG emissions) for directly held

property and investee entities is incomplete, and with New Zealand being among the first countries to have mandatory climate

reporting, we have found that the climate-data industry is not yet at a preferred level of maturity and continues to evolve. These

climate statements should be read with these challenges and limitations in mind.

In recognition of such constraints, challenges and ongoing work, Booster has elected to use the following adoption provisions

contained in NZ CS 2 Adoption of Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards which exempt Booster from disclosing:

1.

Adoption provision 2: Anticipated financial impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities

2.

Adoption provision 6: Comparative information for metrics

3. Adoption provision 7: An analysis of the main trends for metrics

4. Adoption provision 8: Scope 3 GHG emissions assurance

The Directors present the climate statements for the Funds for the year ended 31 March 2025. These climate statements comply

with Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CS) issued by the External Reporting Board (XRB).

Signed for and on behalf of the Board on 24 July 2025

Funds included within this

document

This document includes the climate statements for

the following fund within the Booster Investment

Scheme 2: the Private Land and Property Fund

(Fund).

The Fund obtains its property exposure by

buying units in a separate wholesale property

fund managed by Booster – the Private Land and

Property Portfolio (Wholesale Portfolio), a fund

established under the Booster Investment Series

Trust Deed. The Wholesale Portfolio invests

directly in the underlying property investments.

As the Fund is the only investor in the Wholesale

Portfolio, and the Fund was invested in nothing

but units in the Wholesale Portfolio and a small

amount of cash (as at both 31 March 2025 and the

date these climate statements have been finalised),

these climate statements also provide relevant

disclosure for the Wholesale Portfolio.

change is currently impacting an entity

and how it may do so in the future. This

includes the scenario analysis an entity has

undertaken, the climate-related risks and

opportunities an entity has identified, the

anticipated impacts and financial impacts

of these, and how an entity will position

itself as the global and domestic economy

transitions towards a low-emissions,

climate-resilient future.

1.0 GovernanceBooster Investment Scheme 2: Private Land and Property Fund – Climate Statements 20254
1.1 Who does what at Booster?

There are a number of roles and responsibilities within

Booster that are relevant to the oversight and management of

climate-related risks and opportunities in relation to the Fund.

The Board

The Board of Booster (the ‘Board’), which meets at least

quarterly, has ultimate responsibility for and oversight

of investment management. This includes oversight

of how climate-related risks and opportunities (and

other risks and opportunities) are considered as part of

the management of the assets of the Funds. Executive

Management has delegated key responsibilities related

to investment management to the Booster Investment

Committee (Investment Committee), and for the Fund the

Private Land and Property Committee (PLP Investment

Committee) has investment management responsibilities.

The Board, including Executive Management, receives at

least quarterly reporting to enable its oversight of investment

management, including with respect to the Fund. The Board,

including Executive Management, receives reporting on

climate-related risks and opportunities including metrics

and targets at least annually, where considered material.

See also the Risk Management section which discusses

how the Booster Group Risk Management Framework

links in with climate-related risks and opportunities.

Booster Investment Committee

The Investment Committee usually meets quarterly,

or more frequently if required, and is responsible

for the oversight and monitoring of key aspects

of investment management at Booster. Most

relevantly with respect to the Fund, this includes:

• Approving certain Booster wide investment-related

policies including the Approach to Responsible

Investing Policy (RI Policy), available at

www.booster.co.nz/responsible-investing-policy,

which outlines Booster’s approach to considering

Environmental (including Climate-related) risks,

Social and Governance risks in portfolios, with

material changes subject to approval by the Board.

• Monitoring the Fund (and taking decisions as needed) for

other funds managed by Booster that invest in the Fund.

Private Land and Property Investment

Committee

The PLP Investment Committee meets quarterly to formally

monitor and discuss the Fund. This includes considering

climate-related factors at least annually. PLP Investment

Committee’s responsibilities include (most relevantly):

• Approving investment recommendations and monitoring

investment selection criteria and the application of this

criteria in the investment recommendation process.

• Monitoring ongoing compliance with the

Private Land and Property Fund’s Statements

of Investment Polic and Objectives (SIPO).

• Consider and approve (in consultation with

key stakeholders, and subject to Board

approval) any changes to the SIPO.

• Reviewing the overall performance and management of

the fund, including consideration of Environmental, Social

and Governance (ESG) related matters where relevant.

The Portfolio Management Team is primarily responsible

for the preparation of material for the relevant committees.

Other Booster staff prepare material as required.

Portfolio Management Team

The Portfolio Management Team has responsibility for the

day-to-day management of investment matters related

to the Fund. This includes the preparation of information

for the PLP Investment Committee including relating to

climate-related matters. Oversight is performed by the PLP

Investment Committee. Executive management maintain

general oversight of the Portfolio Management Team.

This section discusses how Booster oversees, assesses and manages climate-

related risks and opportunities in relation to the Funds / the assets of the Funds.

1.0 Governance

1.0 GovernanceBooster Investment Scheme 2: Private Land and Property Fund – Climate Statements 20255
Note – Booster’s parent company Booster Financial Services Limited (BFSL) and Booster have entered into a services agreement

whereby BFSL provides services and support for Booster, including employing all Booster Group staff. For simplicity this has not been

included in the above diagram.

1.2 Skills and competencies

To ensure that the Board has the appropriate skills

and competencies to function as an effective board,

it has adopted a fitness analysis matrix which is

considered annually. Funds management, which includes

consideration of investments including those relating

to the ESG matters, is noted as one of the key skillsets.

To support the continued development of knowledge,

the Board participates in ‘deep dive’ sessions focusing

on a range of topics, with climate related disclosures

having been covered during 2024. Board members

also develop experience through their executive

roles, including for some on investment committees,

or their governance roles at other organisations.

The Executive Management is responsible for

investment committee appointments, which are

subject to consultation with the Board, which

includes consideration of relevant skillsets. When

considering appointments, the relevant skillsets of

the candidate(s) are considered. The PLP Investment

Committee and the Portfolio Management Team

support the Executive Management and Board, by:

• Monitoring developments in sectors relevant

to climate- related risks and opportunities

which are directly applicable to the investments

within the Wholesale Portfolio. This includes

reviewing sustainability reports produced by

industry bodies or members, consideration of

impacts from changes in relevant legislation

and engagement with other relevant parties on

relevant industry changes and or/developments;

• Encouraging the Portfolio Management Team

to undergo regular training / research to

support the performance of their roles;

• Commissioning of external expert reports, in- depth

valuation reports, and engaging directly with

management of relevant companies (e.g. tenants/

operators of properties owned by the Wholesale

Portfolio) which may include assessments of or

information regarding climate-related risks and

opportunities when required for unlisted investments

1.3 Integrating climate into

investment strategy

The PLP Investment Committee is responsible for overseeing

the implementation of the investment management strategy

for the Fund and the Wholesale Portfolio. Investment

management is multifaceted, with risk management being

a component. As part of this, climate-related factors are

monitored by the PLP Investment Committee at least annually.

In addition to this, the Board has approved, key

approaches to investment strategy in relation to

climate matters. Key approaches of note include:

• Booster takes a holistic view of risks and

opportunities that are relevant to portfolios and

their investments. Climate-related risks and

opportunities are an important consideration but

are considered proportionately alongside other risks

and opportunities depending on their materiality.

• Relevant risks (which may include climate-related

risks) are considered as part of due diligence for new

investments. Risks (including climate-related risks)

are managed through both geographic and property

end use diversity and use of leases to help manage

income volatility. We may also consider alternate uses

for a property in due diligence, where applicable.

• Consistent with the Fund’s long-term approach, we

take an active interest in being a good steward of land,

without compromising the Fund’s investment objective.

1.4 Metrics and targets

As part of considering and approving the key approaches

to investment strategy in relation to climate matters, the

type of targets (if any) that should be adopted to support

the implementation of the investment strategy in relation

to climate matters were considered. Taking into account

the structure of the Fund and the Wholesale Portfolio

and the nature of the underlying investments, no climate-

related targets have been adopted for the Fund.

The PLP Investment Committee monitors climate-related

metrics relevant to the Fund (including Greenhouse Gas

(GHG) emissions) at least annually. These matters will

be reported to the Board, where considered material.

Booster’s approach to overall staff remuneration takes

into account a range of factors, including contribution

to overall business objectives, customer and adviser

servicing, productivity, and contribution to the delivery

of solutions and portfolios for clients. Contribution to

responsible investing and ESG elements of strategy

(including climate-related matters) are part of the

overall consideration where relevant to the role.

2.0 StrategyBooster Investment Scheme 2: Private Land and Property Fund – Climate Statements 20257
2.1 Current climate-related

impacts on the Fund

Climate-related impacts on the Fund can arise from

two types of risks – physical risk and transitional

risk which are explained further down.

The Fund is diversified in its property holdings across a range

of property end uses (e.g. utilised for different crop types) and

regions in New Zealand. This diversification helps mitigate

the risk of any single event or investment impacting the Fund,

including specific disproportionate climate-related risks.

Many of the underlying properties are leased which helps to

manage income volatility, and alternate uses for an investment

is often considered in due diligence, where applicable.

As discussed below, physical and transition risks may

impact the underlying investments of the Fund. An

important way in which any such impact may then impact

the Fund is via impacts on the value of or return on those

underlying investments (which would then impact on

the returns of the Fund).However, the possibility and

materiality of such an impact varies across different

investments. See 2.4 Anticipated impacts of climate-related

risks and opportunities for details of impacts that may

be affecting the underlying investments of the Fund.

Physical risk impacts on the Funds

Physical risks are risks related to the physical impacts of

climate change. Physical risks emanating from climate

change can be event-driven such as increased severity of

extreme weather events. They can also relate to longer-

term shifts in precipitation and temperature, increased

variability in weather patterns, and sea level rise.

Scientists cannot answer directly whether a particular

event was caused by climate change, as extremes do occur

naturally, and any specific weather and climate event is the

result of a complex mix of human and natural factors.

There have been occurrences of climate related events that

could potentially be (in part or full) physical risk events which

have impacted the underlying property investments within

the Fund. We have identified a small number of such events

with both positive (e.g. more favourable growing conditions

resulting in enhanced crop yields) and negative (e.g. frosts

and hail) impacts, which we estimate have impacted the net

assets of the Fund by an immaterial amount (a 0.1% reduction

after tax and before fees) over the reporting period.

Transitional risk impacts on the Funds

Transitional risks are risks related to the transition to

a low-emissions, climate-resilient global and domestic

economy, such as policy, legal, technology, market and

reputation changes associated with the mitigation and

adaptation requirements relating to climate change.

Whilst there has been uncertainty around the

changes in regulations related to emissions for

agriculture and other primary industries, we have

not identified any material impacts on the Fund

from transition risk during the reporting period.

For more information on climatic and property-

related risks, please also refer to the ‘Other Specific

Risks’ section of the Fund’s Product Disclosure

Statements, available at booster.co.nz.

2.2 Scenario analysis

To better understand the climate-related risks and

opportunities that might arise for the Fund over the short

(1-3 years ), medium (5-10 years ) and long-term (30 plus

years), a scenario analysis exercise has been undertaken.

Three different climate scenarios, each representing

an alternative potential future, were considered.

2.0 Strategy

Climate scenarios - summary

Represents collective action towards a low carbon

global economy resulting in an average global

temperature increase of approximately 1.5 degrees

Celsius above pre-industrial (1850-1900) levels by 2100.

Orderly

Represents a misaligned and delayed transition to a

low carbon global economy, resulting in an average

global temperature increase of greater than 2 degrees

Celsius above pre-industrial (1850-1900) levels by 2100.

Too little too late

Represents minimal action towards a low carbon

global transition, resulting in an average global

temperature increase of greater than 3 degrees Celsius

above pre-industrial (1850-1900) levels by 2100.

2.0 StrategyBooster Investment Scheme 2: Private Land and Property Fund – Climate Statements 20258
Process undertaken – scenario construction

Booster has utilised the collation of climate scenario

narratives (Scenario Narratives) developed for Financial

Services Council of New Zealand (FSC) and Boutique

Investment Group (BIG) members in a process (see

below) supported by Ernst & Young (EY). The Scenario

Narratives were collated in a report titled ‘Climate

Scenario Narratives for the Financial Services Sector’

dated June 2023 (Scenario Narratives Report).

We have reviewed the scenarios, and whilst there are now

more up to date information sources for some inputs that

were used to inform the Scenario Narratives, we consider

that the scenarios are still sufficient for our purposes.

The Scenario Narratives were developed

following a process which included:

1. Stakeholder engagement: Workshops were held

including industry members to introduce topics

and discuss options. Working groups were used to

gain consensus on key decisions via vote. A steering

committee was formed to determine the direction of

the project and track project timelines, delivery outputs

and stakeholder satisfaction. External stakeholders

(FMA, XRB, NZBA, Insurance Council of New Zealand

etc) were engaged throughout the project.

2. Determination of scope: This included determining key

climate related risk categories and time-horizons.

3. Identification of driving forces: An analysis of key social,

technological, environmental, economic and policy

driving forces was undertaken. The most appropriate

scenarios that aligned with these drivers were identified.

4. Selection of scenarios & pathways: The scenarios were

presented to the working group and key climate-related

risks, impacts and opportunities were identified.

5. Drafting narratives & quality control including

incorporating feedback from stakeholders.

6. Use of credible sources: underlying assumptions used

to create the various scenarios based on credible

information produced by reputable sources such

as the New Zealand Climate Change Commission

(NZCCC), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

Change (IPCC), the Network for Greening the

Financial System (NGFS) and the National Institute

of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA).

In the prior year, Booster considered if the scenarios were appropriate to support our understanding of climate-related risks and

opportunities that might arise for the Funds and how that relates to Booster’s investment management approach. This process

included the matter being reported to the Investment Committee and Board (aspects of which occurred after balance date).

The scenarios have been reviewed and have not changed fr the current reporting period. Below are some of the reasons why

Booster considered that the scenarios presented are appropriate.

2.0 StrategyBooster Investment Scheme 2: Private Land and Property Fund – Climate Statements 20259
Scenarios in detail

The three scenarios consider short, medium and long term time horizons (defined in the Risk and Opportunities section below) and account for how relevant social, technological,

environmental, economic and policy related driving forces would drive plausible future impacts. In addition to considering the outcomes of the drivers, the drivers themselves have also been

something Booster has found helpful when consdiering how future climate related risks and opportunities could evolve.

Orderly: Approximately 1.5 ̊C Too Little Too Late: >2 ̊CHothouse: >3 ̊C

• The Orderly scenario represents coordinated and timely global

action to prevent the worst predicted impacts of climate change.

• Society puts pressure on entities to decarbonise.

• Progressive policy (such as emissions reduction requirements,

carbon taxes, etc.) are implemented globally.

• There is an increase in research and development, resulting in a

rapid uptake of existing low-emissions and emission abatement

technologies across all sectors.

• Emissions reduce steadily in a manner that is consistent with

achieving a net zero goal by 2050.

• Global average temperatures increase to 1.4°C (min 1, max 1.8)

above pre-industrial (1850-1900) levels.

• Transition risks initially increase in the short and medium term

before reducing as society shifts to a low carbon economy. Short

term transition risk is more pronounced for entities that are more

exposed to emission intensive sectors and slow to transition.

• The rate of physical risk remains relatively low in this scenario.

• Overall, the global economy benefits from the stable transition

to a low carbon economy

• This scenario represents a misaligned and delayed transition

to a low carbon economy with only some countries actioning

the transition to net zero by 2050. Others delay, introducing

accelerated efforts to address climate change by mid-century.

• Societal pressure to decarbonise is varied across regions and

inequities will increase for the world’s more marginalised nations.

There is an increase in geopolitical tensions with increased

challenges in agriculture, food security and water availability.

• Most developed countries implement climate policy early while

other parts of the world align climate policy only from mid-

century. There is a more moderate level of carbon pricing.

• There is delayed development of low emissions and emissions

abatement technology.

• Emissions reduce gradually and are still significantly higher than

zero by 2050.

• Global average temperatures reach 2.7°C (min 2.1, max 3.5)

above pre-industrial (1850-1900) levels by 2100.

• Transition risk increases rapidly in the short term, plateau in

the medium term, and increase again in the long term due to

increased global action and the emergence of new technologies

facilitating decarbonisation.

• •The rate of physical risk climbs steadily out to the long term.

• Overall, changes come too late to prevent wide ranging acute

and chronic physical climate impacts resulting in significant

financial impacts to the global economy.

• The Hothouse scenario represents minimal action towards

a low carbon global transition with little shift in social

and political traction towards a low emissions future.

• There is limited social pressure to drive decarbonisation.

Higher rates of economic inequality, increased political

instability and geopolitical tensions are observed.

• Climate policy settings are reversed, revoked or rolled back.

Carbon prices and investment in adaptation is minimal.

• There is an overall lack of technological change to support

emissions reduction and fossil fuels continue to be the

dominant source of primary energy through to 2050.

• Emissions reduce very gradually and fall well short of net zero.

• The global average temperature reaches 4.4°C (min 3.3,

max 5.7) above pre-industrial (1850-1900) levels by 2100.

• Environmental outcomes are more severe, coastal areas

worldwide face increased risk of storm surges, flooding and

sea level rise. Regions that are prone to water stress see

increased frequency and intensity of both droughts and floods.

• Transition risk is limited but there is a significant

materialisation of acute and chronic physical risks.

• The global economy is likely to see surmounting costs

from increasingly pervasive chronic physical impacts with

risk increasing exponentially out to the long term.

• Financial impacts are felt across all economies,

impacting individuals, businesses, and governments.

Process undertaken – analysis of scenarios

The Scenario Narratives include not only scenarios and assumptions, but also an impact assessment on

different sectors and asset classes. Booster has utilised the scenarios to consider the resilience of its investment

philosophy and strategy. This process included an analysis paper and has included reporting to the Investment

Committee and Board. The analysis paper has been reviewed after the balance date of this reporting period

and presented to the Investment Committee for consideration without material modification.

2.0 StrategyBooster Investment Scheme 2: Private Land and Property Fund – Climate Statements 202510
2.3 Risks and Opportunities

Climate-related risks and opportunities (both physical and transitional) for the Fund have been identified over the short,

medium, and long term. These are outlined below, along with how we define short, medium and long term and how those

periods align with the Booster’s investment management activities, and how the risks and opportunities will be considered in

investment management decisions.

Climate-related risks and opportunities identified

It is worth considering climate matters by sector and region to inform on climate-related risks and opportunities for the

Fund. The Fund’s exposures are diversified across different property end uses (sectors) and regions (see the actual sector and

regional exposures for each fund in section 4.4). Each of these sectors may be subject to opportunities which will become more

apparent over time as a particular scenario eventuates. Details on investments held within the fund and their weight can be

found in the Other Material Information document available at booster.co.nz or the full list of holdings available in offer register

at disclose-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz.

Time horizons and investment management decision making

This timeframe aligns with Booster’s processes regarding

stress-testing, tactical investment decision-making, and

portfolio positioning reflecting ESG assessments. As part

of Booster’s stewardship activities, we also engage with

certain investee companies with the goal of driving better

environmental, social and governance (ESG) outcomes.

These engagements are typically carried out over a short-

term time horizon.

Short term: 1 to 3 years

A number of the activities outlined in the short and long-

term time horizons are also relevant for this timeframe,

for example, operating entities and lessee engagements,

property development opportunities, changes to the use of

certain properties and strategic allocation decisions.

In addition, Booster’s key investment management

documentation (SIPO, RI Policy) is generally reviewed within

the short-term horizon, but substantive change is infrequent

and so it more relevantly referenced in this timeframe.

Medium term: 5 to 10 years

This timeframe is most aligned with Booster’s Strategic

Asset Allocation approach which seeks to determine long-

term strategic portfolio settings and considers long-term

risk and return expectations for investment markets.

Long term: over 30 years

Asset TypeImpact to Asset Type

Property and Land • Increase in capital and operational expenditure likely to impact yearly

profitability, decreasing ability to pay distributions.

• Increased variability in crop yields reducing the returns from properties, increasing the credit

risk on lessees and property managers thereby reducing the ability to pay distributions.

• Increase in interest repayments coupled with increase in stranded assets can

increase debt risk and foreclosure as a result of overleveraging.

• Decrease in book value.

• Increased difficulty to sell assets.

• Increase in volatility in the property/land markets and revenue due to climate events, increasing costs

and higher risks of fluctuating factors such as interest rates and capital requirements for banks.

How we consider climate-related risks and opportunities in investment management

• Relevant climate-related risks may be considered as part of due diligence for new investments (alongside a

range of other factors), proportionate to the investment’s wider risks and merits. Climate-related risks may be

considered, or climate-related information included in valuations and geotechnical reports where appropriate.

• Risks (including climate-related risks) are further managed through both geographic and property end use diversity.

2.0 StrategyBooster Investment Scheme 2: Private Land and Property Fund – Climate Statements 202513
2.4 Anticipated impacts of climate-

related risks and opportunities

1

Physical and transition risks are discussed by property end

use above, along with possible impacts from those risks.

How these risks are expected to then impact the underlying

investments in the Fund depends on the specific holdings of

the Fund at a point in time, and how (or if) a particular holding

is also impacted. Details of the underlying investments in

the Fund can be found in the Other Material Information

document available at booster.co.nz. The possible impacts

outlined may not eventuate due to the uncertainty of climate-

related forecasting, Booster’s management of the Fund,

and mitigating actions taken by the Fund, investee entities

or on the Fund’s behalf by operating entities or lessees.

In addition, it is important to reiterate the Fund is diversified

across a number of regions in New Zealand as well as a

number of end property uses (e.g. crop types). As at 31

March 2025 approximately 25% of the Fund is invested in

viticulture properties, spread across Marlborough, Nelson/

Tasman and Hawke’s Bay; 16% is invested in Dairy Farms in

Southland; 26% invested in horticulture properties across

Northland (kiwifruit and avocados), Gisborne (citrus), Bay

of Plenty (kiwifruit and avocados) and Nelson (hops); and

28% invested in industrial property in Christchurch. This

diversification across both property usage and regions in New

Zealand helps to reduce exposure to idiosyncratic physical

and transition impacts in addition to other risk factors.

2.5 Booster’s investment management

approach and the climate-transition

Booster’s investment management approach

Booster was founded over 25 years ago by a handful of

industry experts who felt there was a better way to help New

Zealanders look after their money. We’ve grown a lot since

then, but our mission is still the same. Whatever your financial

goals, we want to help you achieve them - whether it’s

helping you get started towards your savings goals, financial

planning and advice, or growing an investment portfolio.

The Private Land and Property Fund was set up to provide

investors with an opportunity to invest in a specialised

portfolio which consists primarily of directly held, agricultural

and horticultural land and other property investments

in New Zealand. Booster aims to invest in properties

which provide a combination of income distribution and

capital growth-based return for investors. Booster also

looks to take advantage of opportunities to add further

value for investors through pro-active management of the

properties. For information regarding Booster’s broader

investment management approach, see section 2.5 of the

2025 Booster Investment Series Climate Statements.

Booster has elected to apply adoption provision 2 of NZ CS

2. This exempts it from disclosing in its second reporting period

the anticipated financial impacts of climate-related risks and

opportunities, and the time-horizons over which these could

reasonably be expected to occur.

Transition planning

Booster’s strategy for the investment management of the

Fund gives Booster a level of control over the investments

in the portfolio which allows transition planning to be

considered where considered appropriate to do so.

As a future scenario unfolds, it is expected the Fund

will consider climate-related risks and opportunities

(including in capital deployment decisions) to the degree

that is proportional to their contribution to outcomes

in conjunction with all other risks and opportunities.

3.0 Risk ManagementBooster Investment Scheme 2: Private Land and Property Fund – Climate Statements 202514
3.1 How we identify, assess and manage

climate-risk for the Fund

Section 2.3 Strategy – Risks and Opportunities outlines how

climate-related risks are managed in relation to the Fund.

Here we provide some additional information to help readers

further understand those processes.

The process involves:

• Portfolio Management Team – this team is responsible for

identifying, assessing, and managing ESG risk including

climate-related risk. The Portfolio Management Team has

access to various resources to inform the identification,

assessment and management of climate-related risks and

opportunities, including external expert reports and in-

depth valuation reports.

• PLP Investment Committee – the Portfolio Management

Team reports to this committee on certain climate-

related risks, and this committee monitors how they are

considered and managed in the Fund. The Committee is

reported to and meets quarterly.

• Section 1.0 – Governance outlines further details on the

different roles within Booster relevant to the management

and oversight of climate risk.

Short-term (1-3 years), medium-term (5-10 years) and long-

term (20-30+ years) time horizons are considered through

the scenario analysis process (and see section 2.2 Strategy –

Scenario Analysis for more information).

Frequency of assessment

Climate-related risks are considered as part of the ongoing

assessment of the Fund and is monitored at least annually by

the PLP Investment Committee. Scenario analysis is expected

to be reviewed on a three to-five-year basis, or as required.

This is because the research inputs used in the scenario

analysis are updated at varying frequencies and there is a high

degree of uncertainty in predicted outcomes. It is therefore

prudent to wait for an accumulation of such information

before comprehensively reassessing scenarios.

The emissions profile of the Fund and its underlying

investments are monitored at least annually by the PLP

Investment Committee.

Tools and methods used

The tools and methods we utilise to identify and assess

climate-risk include:

• Scenario analysis as outlined in the section 2.2

• Reporting and estimates of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions of

underlying investments

• Carbon intensity measures

• Climate Research from external providers

• Stakeholder engagement

• Internal credit assessment process (usually carried out to

assess the creditworthiness of counterparties including

lessees)

• Valuation and geotechnical reports for underlying

investments

• Reporting from industry bodies and other credible

scientific research organisations

• Information gathered from disclosures and via direct

engagement with companies

• Reports from relevant industry bodies

Some of the above tools such as climate-related metrics could

be based on limited and highly uncertain data/information.

Because of this, our processes for identifying, assessing

and managing climate risk for the Fund does not fully cover

all aspects of the value-chain of the Fund, including for the

investments of the Fund. It is expected that the reliability and

availability of data will improve should climate risk reporting

becomes more mainstream.

3.2 How the above processes are

integrated with our overall risk

management processes

Integration with broader investment

management risk processes

Booster takes a holistic view of risks that are relevant to the

Fund and its underlying investments. All investments involve

some type of risk. Climate-related risks are an important

consideration but are considered alongside other risks.

Section 2.3 Strategy - Risks and Opportunities outlines how

climate risks are considered within overall risk management

processes.

Integration with our Risk Management

Framework

Booster has an approved Risk Management Framework in

place with relevant risk registers to support the identification,

assessment and management of key risks at Booster. This

framework is broader than risk management relating to the

suite of Booster funds or investment management, however

there are a number of risks that are identified and monitored

in the investment management space – most relevantly

this includes Macro Environmental Risk - including ESG &

Climate Change Factors, which cover climate risk from a fund

management perspective. Another relevant risk is Regulatory

& Other External Reporting Management Risk – this includes

coverage of the regulatory and disclosure aspects of climate

risks.

The Risk and Assurance team at Booster monitors these risks

using relevant risk metrics and undertakes regular interactions

with relevant teams internally. Regular reporting to the

Board and/or ARCC highlights the assessed residual risk and

whether this is within risk tolerance or not, and trends in the

relevant underlying metrics.

3.0 Risk Management

4.0 Metrics and TargetsBooster Investment Scheme 2: Private Land and Property Fund – Climate Statements 202515
Fund-specific metrics related to GHG emissions and emissions

intensities are provided in the table in section 4.4. This is our second

year reporting such metrics under the Climate Related Disclosures

regime and we have endeavoured to present useful information

including comparative figures of the previous year. There have

been a number of learnings throughout the preparation process

and there remain a number of challenges including in the data

space – measurement of emissions is not exact and is essentially a

best estimate based on methodologies and assumptions and with

significant limitations – please read the below information with

this in mind and with reference to Appendix A where information

about methodologies, assumptions and limitations can be found.

4.1 GHG emissions information – background

GHG emissions estimates generally cover six main gas types

and are usually reported as a carbon dioxide equivalent. GHG

emissions are reported across three scopes, based on the type

of activity and where in the climate reporting entity’s value chain

that activity took place. NZ CS1 defines the scopes as follows:

• Scope 1: Direct GHG emissions from sources owned

or controlled by the entity.

• Scope 2: Indirect GHG emissions from consumption

of purchased electricity, heat, or steam.

• Scope 3: Other indirect GHG emissions not covered

in scope 2 that occur in the value chain of

the reporting entity, including upstream

and downstream GHG emissions. Scope

3 categories are purchased goods and

services, capital goods, fuel-related and

energy-related activities, upstream

transportation and distribution, waste

generated in operations, business

travel, employee commuting, upstream

leased assets, downstream transportation

and distribution, processing of sold

products, use of sold products, end-of-life

treatment of sold products, downstream

leased assets, franchises, and investments.

Overview of GHG emissions by scope – from the GHG Protocol:

4.0 Metrics and Targets

4.0 Metrics and TargetsBooster Investment Scheme 2: Private Land and Property Fund – Climate Statements 202516
GHG emissions for managed funds are conceptually

a little different to emissions for a corporate entity

such as Booster. The primary source of emissions for a

managed fund is usually financed emissions which are

scope 3 emissions. In this context, emissions for the

Fund can be categorised into two broad categories:

• Operational Emissions: Operational emissions relate to a

Fund’s Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 (excluding financed

emissions) emissions. Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas

emissions do not pertain to MIS Manager disclosures,

such as Booster, because S461O of the Financial Markets

Conduct Act 2013 defines MIS Managers as climate

reporting entities in respect of the scheme they manage

(rather than for the Manager as a company), therefore

no disclosures are required. Booster has determined

that the Financed Emissions for the Fund are the

only relevant / material source of Scope 3 emissions.

Therefore, operational emissions have been omitted

from the GHG emissions presented in section 4.4

which all relate to financed emissions. In making this

determination we have considered whether emissions

from the land and property that the Fund is invested

in could be deemed to be operational emissions (for

example downstream leased assets as most of such

assets are leased), however noting that the investments

are held by the custodian of the Wholesale Portfolio

as property investments for that fund we decided that

emissions from such sources are better classified as

financed emissions. These emissions are therefore

included in our Financed Emissions inventory under the

appropriate scope for each underlying emissions source.

• Financed Emissions: This relates to the emissions that

are financed by the Fund via the investments it holds. The

Fund is allocated a ‘share’ of the emissions of each of the

entities it is invested in based on how much of that entity

it has financed. Emissions are allocated based on the

total overall value of the underlying investments which

includes both equity and debt. Therefore, emissions are

financed by both equity (e.g. shares) investments as well

as debt (e.g. bank loans). Most investments are wholly

owned by the Wholesale Portfolio and all of the emission

we have estimated for these investments are included in

our Financed Emissions. However, for investments that

are partially owned a portion (proportional to the overall

investment ownership) of the investments’ emissions

are included in our Financed Emissions inventory. While

the Wholesale Portfolio had a bank loan which can be

considered to have financed a portion of the underlying

portfolio’s emissions, we have not reduced the Fund’s

emissions for this but are reporting the emissions

based on the gross assets in the Wholesale Portfolio to

which the Fund invests in. Where able to, we have used

reported emissions data from investee or operating

entities, and for other investments we have estimated

these emissions through the methodology outlined below.

• Financed emissions are all Scope 3 emissions for the

funds but can be further categorised into Scope 1

(of Scope 3) representing emissions sources directly

controlled by the investee entity, Scope 2 (of Scope

3) representing emissions from the investee entity’s

purchased energy like electricity, and Scope 3

(of Scope 3) which encompasses other indirect

emissions across the investee entity’s supply chain.

Other points to note about GHG emissions

estimates for the Fund

• Gross Emissions: These are the estimated financed

emissions of the Fund. All else equal, a larger fund

will have higher total gross emissions than a smaller

fund, so care should be taken when comparing funds

with different sizes. As required by NZ CS1, the

estimates do not take into account any offsets.

• Emissions Intensity: This aims to address the issues of

comparability by normalising the Fund’s Gross Emissions

by the value of the investments that contributed to

those emissions. It is presented as tonnes of CO2

equivalent emissions per million New Zealand dollars

invested to better enable comparisons against other

funds as well as track how the Fund’s footprint has

changed over time. To enable as clear a comparison

as possible, we only include the value of investments

that we have emissions data for when making this

calculation so that the emissions intensity ratios are

not artificially lowered due to lack of available data.

• Estimate Quality Score: There are numerous ways

that a particular investment’s emissions could have

been derived, with varying degrees of associated

confidence in those estimates. The Partnership for

Carbon Accounting Financials Standard (PCAF) gives

a scoring method for illustrating the degree of ‘quality’

associated with the methods used in preparing our

emissions. These scores range from 1 (indicating the

highest quality estimate approach) to 5 (indicating the

lowest quality estimate approach). For this Fund, we

have used a mix of unverified reported emissions (with

a score of 2) and production-based estimates (with

a score of 3). The scores associated with each fund’s

emissions can be a useful indicator of what approaches

have been used to calculate the emissions inventories.

• Emissions Coverage: The Investment Coverage shows

the percentage of the Fund’s investments (by value)

that have been included in our emissions inventory.

The appendix below outlines if there are any types

of investments that are excluded from our emissions

inventories and the reason for their omission.

4.0 Metrics and TargetsBooster Investment Scheme 2: Private Land and Property Fund – Climate Statements 202517
4.2 Risks and Opportunities

A summary of the exposure to climate related risks

and opportunities is presented below, generally we’d

expect all of the Fund’s investments in productive

land and property assets to be exposed to climate

related risks and opportunities to some degree.

Climate Related Risks are generally categorised as either

physical risks or transition risks as outlined in 2.0 Strategy.

Physical risks: We consider all of the Fund’s underlying

investments as at 31 March 2025, aside from any cash and

cash equivalents, are exposed to physical risks given the

nature of the investments are land and property – primarily

of a horticultural or agricultural nature. We have made the

determination that cash & cash equivalents do not have

material climate-related risks or opportunities. The level of

risk will vary between sectors and regions with certain crop

types or regions in New Zealand more at risk than others.

As at 31 March 2025 less than 2% (31 March 2024 less than

2%) of the Fund’s Gross Asset Value (GAV) was held in cash.

Transition risks and opportunities: Fund’s emissions

inventories and intensity metrics can provide an indication

of their relative transition risk exposure, as the degree to

which investments could be affected (either positively

or negatively) by a transition to a low carbon economy

is likely proportional to their overall carbon footprint.

4.3 Targets

Taking into account the structure of the portfolio, the

nature of the underlying investments, and the need

to consider investments on their full range of merits,

the Board and Investment Committee, has determined

that no targets have been adopted for the Fund.

4.4 Metrics for the Fund

The below tables show select metrics for the Fund.

Note:

• Only Financed emissions have been deemed to

be material in the context of the Fund, therefore

other scope 3 categories are not included.

• As all metrics are new metrics that have not been

reported before, we have not disclosed comparative

information as per clause 41 of NZ CS3.

• All metrics are based on the holdings of the

Fund as at 31 March of the relevant year.

• Gross emissions are an estimate of GHG emissions for

the Fund for the year to 31 March of the relevant year.

• The Fund’s Sector and Regional exposures are disclosed

to inform an estimation of the Fund’s exposure to the

risks and opportunities identified in section 2.3.

• As the Fund’s Sector and Regional exposures are

new metrics that have not been reported before, we

have not disclosed comparative information for these

particular metrics as per clause 41 of NZ CS3.

Analysis of key trends

• The Fund’s Financed Emissions have increased since

the last year primarily due to changes in production

of the underlying investments (increased dairy

production being the most material) as well as new

investments being added to the fund during the year.

• Overall fund emissions intensity has reduced mainly

due to the new warehouse investment made during the

year. As this investment does not use our productive

property emissions estimation approach and instead only

reflects emissions from energy usage as recommended

under the PCAF approach, its overall emissions footprint

is much smaller than other investments in the Fund.

A.1 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories - Methodologies (and assumptions)

We have prepared our GHG emissions estimates in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s Corporate and Scope 3

(Value Chain) Standards. We have used the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) standard as a starting point

for preparing our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventories. This standard aims to provide a comprehensive methodology for Asset

Managers like Booster to prepare their inventories in a consistent way. However, whilst PCAF provides guidance for commercial

real estate, in our view, it is unlikely to fairly represent the emissions associated with the Fund’s underlying investments,

and PCAF does not contain any other property-related approach. Booster has therefore developed a methodology that we

have aimed to align with the broader principles of the PCAF standard. In taking this approach we have considered the Fair

Presentation Principles outlined in NZ CS3. More detail on this specific methodology is provided below.

Apportioning emissions to the Fund

• Under the PCAF standard, financed emissions are generally calculated by attributing a reporting entity (e.g. a fund) its

‘share’ of the emissions from an investee entity (e.g. a company the fund is invested in) based on how much of the overall

investee entity it ‘owns’. This ownership portion is calculated by taking the investment value (equity and/or debt) as a

proportion of the overall value of the investee entity (as outlined below). Both equity and debt investments have emissions

from the issuing entity attributed to them using this calculation and contribute to the relevant Fund’s overall financed

emissions. See the below table for more information on the allocation method used. Note however that the majority of the

assets are land and property fully owned by the Wholesale Property, so this attribution is less relevant that for other funds.

• For some asset classes (unlisted equities and commercial real estate), PCAF prescribes the use of historical or accounting

based values to apportion emissions. However, as a fund manager we have valuation / unit pricing policies, and for these

asset classes we use slightly different methods as outlined in the below table.

• We report all currency values in New Zealand dollars.

• Holdings values are as of 31 March of the reporting period.

• Our GHG emissions consolidation approach used is ‘operational control’, noting that the Fund is not deemed to have

operational control over any of its ultimate underlying investments. All land and property assets are held by the Wholesale

Portfolio rather than the Fund, and most are leased out, with the relatively small number that are not subject to a lease

being subject to various contractual agreements that outsource various matters to do with the relevant asset including

management.

The following table lists the overall methodology approach taken to estimating emissions for its Direct investments in

productive land and property assets.

Asset TypeOur approachBasis for allocating emissions to our funds

Direct investments in

productive land & property

assets

We believe the PCAF standard does not adequately cover this type of investment. Using the PCAF

approach for Commercial Real Estate is, in our view, unlikely to fairly represent the emissions

associated with those investments, and PCAF does not contain any other property related

approach. Instead, we use a methodology that reflects a wider scope of emissions sources,

such as the emissions associated with fertiliser use as well as its production. We have estimated

the emissions from these investments using information we have been able to source. This

information is typically sourced from reputable external sources and, in some cases, combined

with other relevant available information to provide a more comprehensive emissions estimate.

Emissions estimates are based on emissions factors as determined for each land/

property end use sector. The sources of these have been outlined below. The emissions

factor is then applied to the total production for the most recently completed season.

Where the latest production data is unavailable (it is available for most of the properties),

estimates have been based on average production per planted hectare of land.

• Viticulture & Winery Properties: Emissions factors have been sourced from Sustainable

Winegrowing New Zealand via the Fund’s lessee/manager (general information

can be found in the National Green House Gas Emissions Report 2022).

• Avocado Orchards: Emissions factors have been sourced from a 2022

life cycle assessment undertaken for New Zealand Avocado.

• Kiwifruit Orchards: Emissions Factors have been sourced from a 2021 life

cycle assessment undertaken by Ministry of Primary Industries.

• Citrus Orchards: Emissions factors are sourced from a 2023 study conducted by the New

South Wales Department of Primary Industries, and have been applied to planted area

based on data limitations. A study specific to the New Zealand citrus industry could not be

found. While the emissions factor used is the best available information, it inherently has

greater uncertainty due to not reflecting New Zealand-specific industry considerations.

• Dairy Farms: Emissions are based on reports provided by lessee which use a number of scientific

studies to estimate emissions. These emissions factors have been adjusted to reflect the higher

Global Warming Potential (GWP) associated with methane under the latest IPCC sixth assessment

report (AR6). Additionally, we have included emissions from the processing and transportation

life-cycle stages based on a 2021 life cycle report prepared for the Ministry of Primary Industries.

• Hop Gardens: Emissions factors are sourced from a 2022 scientific study completed for the

California Polytechnic State University. A study specific to the New Zealand hop industry could

not be found. While the emissions factor used is the best available information, it inherently

has greater uncertainty due to not reflecting New Zealand-specific industry considerations.

For wholly owned investments: the value of the property (as

per our valuation / unit pricing policies) as at 31 March of the

reporting year. This covers the majority of the properties.

For partially owned investments that have an equity structure

(one asset) the value of the investment (as per our valuation / unit

pricing policies) as at 31 March of the reporting year as a proportion

of the Enterprise Value including Cash (EVIC) of the company.

The EVIC value is based on the equity value of the company as per

our valuation / unit pricing policies as at 31 March of the reporting

year, and the debt value provided by the company as at 31 March

of the reporting period or if not available as at that date, then

as at what we consider the most appropriate date available.

4.0 Metrics and TargetsBooster Investment Scheme 2: Private Land and Property Fund – Climate Statements 202521
Direct investments in

commercial real estate

Our approach is based on the PCAF methodology for Commercial Real Estate which only allocated the

Scope 2 emissions associated with energy used at the property. We have estimated the energy usage

and associated emissions from these investments using information we have been able to source.

To date, the only property using this treatment is the Rolleston

industrial warehouse which has been estimated using;

• Typical energy usage of similarly configured warehouses based on a

2021 study published by the Swiss non-profit institute MDPI.

• Typical energy usage of office space based on the 2014 Building Energy End Use

Study published by the Building Research Association of New Zealand.

• The total warehouse and office floor area of the property from independent valuation reports.

• The latest available emissions factor of purchased grid energy published

by the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment.

The value of the property (as per our valuation / unit

pricing policies) as at 31 March of the reporting year.

Asset types not coveredCertain asset classes and security types do not have clear emissions associated with them or we

lack sufficient data to calculate the associated emissions, so these asset classes are excluded

from our emissions inventories. This includes Cash and cash equivalents as well as shares that

are held in irrigator schemes (which are required to provide irrigation to certain properties).

A.2 Limitations (and assumptions)

Carbon footprinting refers to accounting for each fund’s

‘share’ of emissions from the various underlying investments

that the fund holds. It is important to remember that the

measurement, reporting, and aggregating emissions for funds

is inherently uncertain and provides an estimate rather than

an actual figure. When considering the likely effects of these

limitations and uncertainties, Booster notes that it considers

that it will not prevent the climate statements including the

GHG emissions disclosures from being useful to Investors.

• Emissions reported by the underlying investments are

ultimately still estimates of their actual emissions and

there is the potential that these reported emissions differ

materially from the actual ‘real world’ emissions of the

investments. Developments in scientific understanding,

legislative requirements, and business practices may

mean that reported emissions may later be found to be

inaccurate.

• There are timing issues which mean that emissions

estimates for the underlying investments of the Fund may

be an estimate for a period of time that is not exactly

aligned with the reporting period of the Fund, which

ends on 31 March of the relevant year. We use data for

each underlying investment at the time we produce these

climate statements (generally the latest available data)

and do not make any adjustment for such timing issues.

Reasons for this include:

○The timing of the season will vary between crop

types based on harvest timings, for example grape

harvest is typically from February through to April

depending on variety whilst the avocado harvest is

typically between June and July.

○Emissions estimates are made available with a

significant lag and/or emissions factors are only

updated periodically. So, whilst the most recently

completed production information may be used,

estimated emissions information may not yet be

available for the year these climate statements

relate to in time for that data to be used or there

may not be updated emissions factor information.

○New Zealand Wine Growers usually releases

emissions reports in December for the March/April

harvest earlier that year.

○Avocado emissions factors are based on a study

undertaken in 2022 and data from the 2024 harvest

which took place between June – August

○Kiwifruit emissions are based on a 2021 lifecycle

assessment completed by the Ministry for Primary

Industries and data from the 2025 harvest which was

completed in March 2025 or 2024 harvest where

2025 harvest data is not yet available.

○ Citrus Emissions are based on a 2023 scientific

study undertaken by several entities including New

South Wales Department of Primary industries,

University of New England and Life Cycle Strategies

Pty. Ltd. and data from the 2024 harvest which took

place between June and August.

○Dairy emissions are based on the season ended May

2024

○Hops emissions factors are based on a 2022

study completed for California Polytechnic State

University, production data is based on the 2025

season.

○Industrial warehouse emissions estimated using

the typical energy usage of similarly configured

warehouses based on a 2021 study published by

MDPI, and typical energy usage of office space

based on a 2014 BRANZ study. The emissions

associated with the estimated energy usage is then

calculated using the latest available grid energy

emission factor from MBIE.

• Inventories are prepared using a ‘point in time’ snapshot

of the Fund’s holdings, and there is the potential that

these differ throughout the reporting period as a result

of changes in investment mix or holdings. Funds are

allocated their ‘share’ of each investment’s yearly

emissions, regardless of whether the investment has been

held for an entire year or not. Likewise, an investment

sold prior to the reporting date would not contribute to

the Fund’s emissions for the year.

• Availability of relevant climate data will vary between

investments, and whilst emissions factors specific to New

Zealand or even a region within New Zealand have been

used where possible, in some instances data from other

countries has been incorporated. There may be material

differences between emissions from New Zealand and

emissions from other countries. The emissions factors

which have been used are the best available information

we have been able to source.

• The primary method for attributing emissions to the

Fund, and for calculating the emissions intensity for the

Fund, depends on the value of the underlying holdings

as at 31 March of the relevant period. This means that

changes in values of holdings can result in differences in

certain metrics including emissions intensity from year

to year. The impact of this may differ depending on the

underlying investments of the Fund.

• Our inventory incorporates emissions factors from a

range of sources which may have used different Global

Warming Potential (GWP) values. Generally, we would

expect that these underlying emissions factors use

GWP values published by the Intergovernmental Panel

on Climate Change (IPCC) based on a 100-year time

horizon, from either the IPCC’s forth (AR4), fifth (AR5),

or sixth (AR6) Assessment Reports. In general, we have

used emissions intensity values as published without

adjustment for differences in underlying GWP values

used. However, for our investments in dairy farmland,

we have determined that it is prudent to update the GWP

value associated with methane emissions from the AR4

value to the AR6 value. This results in an 8.8% increase

in the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) emissions from

methane sources for our dairy farms.
