A feeder fund seeking to provide investors with capital growth. This portfolio will be suitable for investors who require specific exposure to global equities as part of their overall investment strategy.
Apart from assets in liquid form and exchange rate swaps, the portfolio will consist solely of participatory interests in a single portfolio of a collective investment scheme operating in a territory outside South Africa, currently the Contrarian Value Equity Fund, which is a sub-fund under the Nedgroup Investments Funds PLC Scheme, domiciled in Ireland. The Contrarian Value Equity Fund primarily invests in mid and large-cap companies across all geographies and sectors. The sub-fund will not be subject to any specific geographical region or sector. The foreign collective investment scheme will operate in a territory outside South Africa with a regulatory environment which is, to the satisfaction of the manager and trustee, of a sufficient standard to provide investor protection at least equivalent to that in South Africa.
The manager will be permitted to invest on behalf of the Nedgroup Investments Contrarian Value Equity Feeder Fund in offshore investments as legislation permits.
The trustee shall ensure that the investment policy, as set out above, is adhered to, provided that nothing contained in the investment policy shall preclude the manager from varying the proportions of the aforementioned securities and assets in liquid form, or the assets themselves, should changing economic factors or market conditions so demand.
The manager reserves the right to close the Nedgroup Investments Contrarian Value Equity Feeder Fund to new investors on a date determined by the Manager. This will be done in order to be able to manage the portfolio in accordance with its investment mandate. The manager shall determine the critical size from time to time. The manager may, once the portfolio has been closed, open the portfolio again to new investors on a date determined by the Manager. However, the investment universe of the underlying portfolio (Nedgroup Investments Contrarian Value Equity Fund) is highly liquid and capable of absorbing a significant level of assets under management without negatively affecting the ability of the fund to meet its objectives.
