FLAGSHIP INVESTMENTS LIMITED
Flagship Investments Limited is an Australian public company (ABN 99 080 135 913) registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, with its registered office at Level 12, Corporate Centre One, 2 Corporate Court, Bundall, Queensland 4217. Company records show the entity’s Australian Business Number as active from 22 April 2000; the company’s own 2026 Annual Report describes continuous operation “since the inception of the Company in 1997,” which is consistent with third-party company-register sources placing incorporation on 23 September 1997.
Flagship Investments Limited is a listed investment company (LIC) whose principal activity, unchanged during the year to 30 June 2026, is investing in securities listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, where it trades under the code FSI. It commenced operations in April 1998 and listed on the ASX in December 2000 under the name Wilson Investments Taurine Fund Limited, before being renamed Hyperion Flagship Investments Limited in November 2011 and then Flagship Investments Limited in October 2012.
The company holds a concentrated, actively managed portfolio of Australian listed growth companies; as at 30 June 2026 its net tangible assets stood at $1.538 per share, with its largest reported portfolio holdings including Rio Tinto, Megaport and HUB24. For the year ended 30 June 2026, Flagship Investments Limited reported a loss after tax of $643,000 (2025: loss of $559,000) and a total comprehensive loss of $17.109 million, driven mainly by unrealised falls in the fair value of its investment portfolio, which returned -24.1% for the year against a 2.4% gain for the ASX All Ordinaries Index. The company nonetheless paid fully franked dividends totalling 10.35 cents per share during FY2026 and has convertible notes on issue. Its Financial Report for the year, authorised for issue on 6 August 2026, states that the company has no controlled entities.

Shareholders
Flagship Investments Limited’s 2026 Annual Report discloses its twenty largest shareholders as at 29 July 2026, when the company had 619 holders of its single class of fully paid ordinary shares. The largest recorded holding, 9,547,392 shares (36.92%), is registered to Citicorp Nominees Pty Limited, a custodian that holds shares on behalf of underlying beneficial owners rather than a beneficial owner itself. The next-largest individually named holders are Global Masters Fund Limited (1,010,000 shares, 3.91%) and Mr Gregory John Burton and Mrs Catherine Beatrice Burton via a superannuation account (972,518 shares, 3.76%). Together, the twenty largest registered holdings account for 66.53% of shares on issue; smaller holders are not individually identified in this disclosure.
Under section 671B of the Corporations Act 2001, Flagship Investments Limited has separately disclosed two substantial shareholders as at 29 July 2026: Dr E C Pohl AM, with a relevant interest in 10,454,291 shares (40.4%), and Mr G J Burton, with 1,869,723 shares (7.23%). Dr Pohl’s notified interest includes shares over which he holds power to control voting and/or disposal under a Power of Attorney covering 927,085 shares, in addition to shares he holds directly; the notice does not separate the two components. On this basis, Dr Pohl is the only individual reported to hold an effective interest above a conventional 25% beneficial-ownership threshold, based on the company’s own substantial-holder disclosure rather than a calculated indirect chain.
Data availability: shareholder information for Flagship Investments Limited, an ASX-listed company, is Major shareholders only. Complete, unabridged share registers are not published; the twenty-largest-holder table and the section 671B substantial-holder notices together identify the company’s largest interests, but do not cover the full base of 619 recorded holders.

Officers
2
Zavia’s registry data for Flagship Investments Limited, sourced from ASIC, lists two officers: Emmanuel Clive Pohl (recorded with professional qualifications appended to the surname field, “Clive Pohl Bsc (eng), Dba, Faicd, Mba, Msdia, Pr Eng., Safin”) as Managing Director and Director, and Ian W. Harrison as Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, both shown with an Active work status and no resignation date. This registry record for Mr Harrison is inconsistent with the company’s own recent primary disclosures, as set out below.
According to Flagship Investments Limited’s 2026 Annual Report and its own website, the current Board comprises Dominic M McGann (Non-Executive Chairman), Dr Emmanuel (Manny) C Pohl AM (Managing Director, in that role since the Company’s 1997 inception) and Angela Obree (Non-Executive Director). Scott Barrett, a Chartered Accountant, has served as Company Secretary, Chief Financial Officer and Alternate Director (for Mr McGann since 3 November 2017 and for Mrs Obree since November 2022) since 3 November 2017. Mr Barrett, not Mr Harrison, is named as Company Secretary and CFO throughout the company’s FY2026 Annual Report; the on-file ASIC-sourced registry entry for Mr Harrison in that role appears outdated.
No recent director appointments, resignations or role changes are reported in Flagship Investments Limited’s FY2026 Annual Report; all three current directors attended every scheduled board meeting during the year, and the Managing Director and Company Secretary are both stated to be employed by the Investment Manager, EC Pohl & Co Pty Ltd, rather than by the Company itself, as the Company has no employees of its own.
Nationality is not disclosed for any officer or director in the sources reviewed and has not been inferred from name, address or residence. Officer information for this Australian public company is Partial: ASIC filings do not clearly distinguish current from historical appointees or disclose nationality, while the company’s own Annual Report and website provide current role titles and dates for directors and the company secretary but not for historical officers.

Group Structure
Flagship Investments Limited’s own FY2026 Financial Report states explicitly that “there are no controlled entities” and that the Financial Report “covers Flagship Investments Limited as an individual entity.” No parent company is recorded for Flagship Investments Limited in Zavia’s registry data, and no official filing reviewed identifies one; the company is independent, with its ordinary shares listed on the ASX and held by a base of institutional, custodial and individual shareholders described in the shareholders section of this profile.
Flagship Investments Limited’s investment portfolio is managed by EC Pohl & Co Pty Ltd under a Management Services Agreement dated 6 November 2015, as amended on 10 November 2023 and 7 November 2025 and approved by shareholders. This is a contractual management arrangement rather than a corporate ownership relationship: EC Pohl & Co Pty Ltd provides portfolio management and secondary administrative services (including company secretarial support) in exchange for management and performance fees, but does not thereby become a parent of, and is not a subsidiary of, Flagship Investments Limited. The Company’s FY2026 related-party disclosures separately note that EC Pohl & Co RE Ltd, an entity Flagship Investments Limited resolved at its November 2025 AGM to invest in via a subscription agreement, is itself owned by EC Pohl & Co Pty Ltd; it is a subsidiary within the Manager’s own corporate group, not of Flagship Investments Limited.
Flagship Investments Limited’s Annual Report separately lists Global Masters Fund Limited as a 3.91% shareholder and confirms that a Flagship Investments Limited director’s other listed-company directorships have, in the past three years, included Global Masters Fund Limited. On current evidence this is a shared-director and shared-shareholder relationship only; no official filing establishes a parent, subsidiary or sister-company link between the two ASX-listed entities, so it is reported here as a possible relationship rather than a verified one.
Data availability: group-structure information for Flagship Investments Limited is Full at the level of confirming it has no controlled entities and no identified corporate parent, based on its own audited Financial Report.
