FUND STRATEGY
In order to achieve the portfolio objective, the portfolio’s asset allocation and instrument selection will be actively managed and will continually reflect the portfolio manager’s view of the relative attractiveness of the property shares, property related securities, loan stock listed on exchanges, non-equity securities, bonds, money market instruments and preference share markets. Apart from achieving the primary objective of generating high income, the portfolio will actively invest in bonds and/or property securities in order to achieve the secondary objective of long term capital growth. The portfolio’s property exposure could be aligned with that of the Asisa South African Multi Asset Income portfolios category. The portfolio may also invest in listed and unlisted financial instruments in accordance with the Act as well as in offshore investments as permitted by legislation. The Manager may also include participatory interests and other forms of participation of local and global collective investment schemes, or other similar schemes operated in territories 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 and which is consistent with the portfolio’s primary objective. However, the fund will purposefully only invest in South African securities to allow investors the option of a clean asset allocation between their domestic and foreign exposure.
