Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

1. Polen Focus Growth
September 30, 2015
Our Focus Growth strategy seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital by building a concentrated portfolio of
outstanding businesses with competitive advantages and the potential for sustained superior growth.
Investment Philosophy
We believe consistent earnings growth is the primary driver of intrinsic value and long-term stock appreciation. Accordingly, our
efforts focus on identifying and then investing in a concentrated portfolio of Large Cap Growth companies that we believe are
capable of delivering sustainable, above-average earnings growth.
We seek to invest in companies with growing earnings driven by a sustainable competitive advantage, superior financial strength,
proven management teams and powerful products/services. We hold the view that such exceptional companies not only have the
potential to contribute outsized returns but are also inherently less risky. Their greater earnings' stability and financial strength
offer a "Margin of Safety" that typically results in less volatility during declining markets.

Performance Disclosure:
Polen Capital Management, LLC is an independent registered investment advisor. The firm has been managing large cap growth equity portfolios for institutional and high net worth individual clients since 1989.
PCM claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS). This presentation is supplemental information to the fully compliant composite performance disclosure available at
www.polencapital.com.
All performance is calculated in US Dollars. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Returns are presented gross and net of management fees and include the reinvestment of all income.
The primary benchmark for the large capitalization equity composite is the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The Russell 1000® Growth Index (R1000G) is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the
large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000® Growth Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. It is impossible to invest directly in
an index. The performance of an index does not reflect any transactions costs, management fees, or taxes.
*Holdings are subject to change. The top holdings, as well as other data, are as of the period indicated, and should not be considered a recommendation to purchase, hold, or sell any particular security. There is no
assurance that any of the securities noted will remain in a portfolio at the time you receive this fact sheet. Actual holdings and percentage allocation in individual client portfolios may vary and are subject to change. It
should not be assumed that any of the holdings discussed were, or will prove to be, profitable, or that the investment recommendations or decisions we make in the future will be profitable. A list of all securities held in
this strategy in the prior year is available upon request.
**Long-term EPS Growth estimates for the Focus Growth portfolio are Polen Capital estimates. Our long-term estimates for the market indices are based off of 10 year historical data capturing different market cycles.
