The investment objective of the fund is to provide long-term capital growth by diversifying investments across various asset classes. This objective is not guaranteed. The Fund is likely to be invested with a bias towards global equities whilst not precluding the fund from investing in lower risk asset classes such as cash and global bonds. This blend of asset classes is expected to be towards the higher end of the risk/return scale. The Fund may typically invest up to 100% of its net asset value in the units and/or shares of underlying funds which provide exposure to the asset classes in which the Fund can directly invest. The Fund is not focused on any specific geography, industry or sector and may invest in companies across the full spectrum of capital markets.
Characteristics
This is a multi-asset flexible portfolio, which means that the portfolio may have a maximum equity exposure of up to 100% at all times. The fund will diversify investments across various asset classes providing the opportunity for long-term capital growth.
Risk Reward Profile
Typically, the lower the risk, the lower the potential return and the higher the risk, the higher the potential return. There is no guarantee that returns will be higher when investing in a portfolio with a higher risk profile. The risk profile for this portfolio is rated as high, as it may invest up to 100% in equity securities globally.

Annual fees levied against the Fund (Max % or amount comprising the TER)
Equity markets are volatile and the price of equities fluctuate based on a number of factors such as changes in the economic climate, general movements in interest rates and the political and social environment which will also affect the value of the securities held in the unit trust, thereby affecting the overall value of the unit trust.
Currency Risk / Foreign Exchange Risk
This risk is associated with investments that are denominated in foreign currencies. When the foreign currencies fluctuate against the South African Rand, the investments face currency gains or losses.
Concentration Risk
Unit Trusts pool the assets of many investors and use the proceeds to buy a portfolio of securities. There are regulations in place which limit the amount that a unit trust may invest in securities, thereby spreading the risk across securities, asset classes and companies.
Liquidity Risk
This relates to the ability of the unit trust to trade out of a security held in the portfolio at or near to its fair value. This may impact on liquidity and in the case of foreign securities, the repatriation of funds.
Credit Risk
Credit risk arises where an issuer of a non-equity security or a swap is unable to make interest payments or to repay capital. The Fund may be exposed to credit risk on the counterparties in relation to instruments such as cash, bonds and swaps that are not traded on a recognised exchange. The possibility of the insolvency, bankruptcy or default of a counterparty with which the Fund trades such instruments, could result in losses to the Fund.
Total Return Swaps Risk
This portfolio may invest in total return swaps. Total return swaps are unlisted instruments issued by a bank to provide the return of a specific index. Therefore, the equity exposure in this portfolio is derived through the total return swap and not by physically holding the equities in the portfolio. The value of the instrument is directly linked to the performance of the basket of assets per the index and will fluctuate in line with the daily market movements.
Inflation Risk
The risk of potential loss in the purchasing power of your investment due to a general increase of consumer prices.
Tax Risk
This risk relates to any change to tax laws or to the interpretation of existing tax laws which has an impact on the manner in which unit trusts are taxed.
Compliance Risk
This refers to the risk of not complying with the legislation, regulations, prescribed investment limits and internal policies and procedures by the manager or the portfolio manager.
Political Risk
The risk that investment returns could suffer as a result of a country’s political changes or instability in the country. Instability could come from changes in the country’s government, policy makers or military.
Total Expense Ratio
The TER is the percentage of the value of the Fund that was incurred as expenses relating to the administration of the Fund. A higher TER does not necessarily imply a poor return, nor does a low TER imply a good return. The current TER may not necessarily be an accurate indication of future TER’s Obtain the Effective Annual Cost (EAC) estimate before investing by contacting the AIFM at +353 1 2053500 Please note that in most cases where the Financial Services Provider (FSP) is a related party to the portfolio manager, the FSP, the FSP’s representative or the distributor may earn additional fees other than those charged by the portfolio manager.
