PAYERS & GROWERS® FUNDS
Merchant West SCI Managed Payers & Growers® Fund
The Fund is suitable for an investor with a moderate to aggressive risk tolerance. The investment objective of the Fund is to obtain long-term income and capital growth at moderate risk levels. The Fund is managed in accordance with regulations governing pension funds (Regulation 28).
This Fund tends to be fully invested in equities and listed property and has a maximum effective equity exposure limit of 75% and a maximum listed property exposure of 25%. The Fund can invest locally as well as up to 45% offshore. The Fund is managed in accordance with the Merchant West Payers & Growers® investment philosophy, making it ideally suited for investors looking to build an income for their retirement and then to manage that income in retirement such that the major risks facing retirees, namely longevity (how long am I going to live), sequence of returns risk (getting the returns when you need them) and inflation (the hurdle rate and one that grows rather than shrinks in retirement), are mitigated and in some instances completely eradicated. Investors can live off the income provided by the portfolio and not draw excessively against the capital. In this way, the investor’s capital is preserved and is only utilised in emergencies during their retirement, irrespective of how long that retirement lasts.

FUND STRATEGY
The portfolio’s exposure to equities will tend to vary depending on market and economic conditions and relative sector prospects and be aligned with the ASISA Multi Asset High Equity fund category. On selecting securities, the manager will focus on securities that both pay and grow dividends and supplement those securities with quality listed property securities that are expected to produce total returns in excess of inflation over time. The equity exposure in this portfolio will range between 40% and 65%. The portfolio may from time to time invest in listed and unlisted financial instruments in accordance with the regulations of the Act and the regulations thereto, as amended from time to time in order to achieve the portfolio’s investment objective. The portfolio will comply with all prudential requirements and regulations controlling retirement funds or such other applicable legislation as may be determined for retirement funds. The portfolio may also include participatory interests or any other form of participation in portfolios of collective investment schemes in the Republic of South Africa as the Act may allow from time to time. Where the aforementioned schemes are operating in territories other than South Africa, participatory interests or any other form of participation in these schemes will be included in the portfolio only where the regulatory environment is to the satisfaction of the Manager and the Trustee as being 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 The manager shall also be permitted to invest on behalf of the portfolio in offshore investments as legislation permits.
