FUND STRATEGY
The portfolio may also invest in assets in liquid form, non-equity securities, debentures, government, listed corporate and inflation linked bonds, and other high yielding securities. 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 Manager shall be permitted to invest on behalf of the portfolio in offshore investments as legislation permits. 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.
