The portfolio will invest in a broad spectrum of securities, the allocation of which will be appropriate for South African retirement funds and investors seeking high levels of income with some prospects of capital gain and low tolerance for capital loss over an investment horizon of 12 months to 2 years.
The benchmark return for the portfolio shall be 110% of prevailing call rates over 1-year periods as measured by the Alexander Forbes Short-term Fixedinterest Call Deposit Index (Stefi Call).
To the extent allowed by the Act, the portfolio will be managed to always comply with the statutory investment limits set for retirement funds in South Africa and the ASISA - South African - Multi Asset - Income category.
The Portfolio shall comprise a mix of permissible securities including foreign securities within the limits prescribed by the South African Reserve Bank, and assets in liquid form. Total equity exposure shall be limited to an absolute maximum of 10% of the portfolio. Total property exposure shall be limited to an absolute maximum of 25% of the portfolio.
The Manager will adhere to prevailing regulations when investing in financial instruments including listed and unlisted derivatives. The Portfolio may include participatory interests or any other form of participation in portfolios of collective investment schemes.
Nothing in this supplemental Deed shall preclude the Manager from varying the ratios of investment in the underlying portfolio or assets in liquid form, to maximise overall return in response to market conditions or legal requirements, or from retaining cash or placing cash on deposit in terms of the Deed, provided that the Manager shall ensure that the unit portfolio complies with the Act.
The Manager shall reserve the right to close the portfolio to new investors on a date determined by the Manager. This may be done to better manage the fund in accordance with its mandate.
