The Sterling Invest Alpha Worldwide Prescient Fund will aim to achieve excess return relative to the return of its benchmark. To achieve this, the Fund will invest in a diversified mix of worldwide assets, including equities, bonds, property, preference shares, money market and other instruments, including listed and unlisted financial instruments, as determined by the Authority from time to time. The manager shall have maximum flexibility in terms of asset allocation and shall not be precluded from continually varying the underlying exposure to both local and offshore assets. The Fund will employ asset and geographical allocations to reflect changing economic and market conditions to maximise returns over the long term. 3.2 The portfolio may also include par ticipatory interests or any other form of participation in portfolios of collective investment schemes or other similar schemes. Where the aforementioned schemes are operated in territories other than in South Africa, participatory interests or any other form of participation in these schemes will be included in the portfolio only where the regul atory environment is to the satisfaction of the manager and trustee and is of a sufficient standard to provide investor protection at least equivalent to that in South Africa. 3.3 Nothing in the supplemental deed shall preclude the Manager from varying the ratios of securities within the portfolio in order to achieve the stated objectives of the Fund during changing economic environments, opportunistic market conditions or to meet the requirements, if applicable, of any exchange formally recognised in terms of legislation and from retaining cash or placing cash on deposit in terms of the Deed and any Supplemental Deeds thereto; provided that the manager shall ensure that the aggregate value of the assets comprising the portfolio shall consist of securities of the aggregate value required from time to time by the Act. 3.4 The portfolio is permitted to invest in financial instruments in line with the conditions as determined by the Authority from time to time. The Trustee shall ensure that the investment pol icy set out in this supplemental deed, the Deed and in all Supplemental Deeds thereto is carried out. 3.5 For the purpose of this portfolio, the manager in consul tation with the Investment Manager shall reserve the right to close the portfolio 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 mandate. The manager may, once a portfolio has been closed, open that portfolio again to new investors on a date determined by the manager
