The objective of the Satrix MSCI World Index Fund is to provide an investment vehicle for investors wishing to track the movement of the MSCI World Index by investing in securities of global companies which are primarily constituents of the MSCI World Index.
The portfolio shall seek to achieve this objective by investing as far as is possible and practicable in the constituents of the MSCI World Index as well as assets in liquid form and financial instruments for efficient portfolio management purposes. The manager intends to use physical tracking techniques such as portfolio optimisation in order to achieve a similar return to the Index and it is therefore not expected that the portfolio will hold each and every underlying constituent of the Index at all times or hold them in the exact same proportion as their weightings in the Index. However, from time to time the portfolio may hold all constituents of the Index. The combination of shares will enable the Manager to track the performance of the MSCI World Index. The portfolio may utilise listed and unlisted financial instruments, in accordance with the provisions of the Act and the Regulations thereto, as amended from time to time, in order to achieve the portfolio's investment objective.
The portfolio may also invest in participatory interests or any other form of participation in portfolios of collective investment schemes or other similar schemes in line with the investment objective of the fund as the Act may allow from time to time, and which are consistent with the portfolio's investment policy.
The Fund endeavours to replicate the performance of developed equity markets by tracking the MSCI World Index in South African Rand (ZAR) (un-hedged) with income reinvested. When the fund is changed it will be holding the securities directly and will therefore distribute any income and dividends less fund expenses.
