The portfolio will invest its assets in interest-bearing securities such as government, parastatal, municipal, corporate bonds, money market instruments and cash, while carefully balancing credit risk, duration risk and liquidity risk when selecting investments. The portfolio will target total returns for investors and when bond markets offer no value, the portfolio will be weighted towards cash to achieve better returns. The portfolio may invest in financial instruments (derivatives) as well as any other non-equity securities which may be approved by the Authority from time to time and which are consistent with the investment policy of the portfolio, to the maximum levels permitted by the Act, and the Regulations thereto, as amended from time to time.
The portfolio will comply with regulations governing retirement funding.
The portfolio may also include participatory interests or any other form of participation in portfolios of collective investment schemes or other similar schemes registered in the Republic of South Africa. The inclusion of participatory interests or any other form of participation in a portfolio will be limited by the statutory limitations placed on the inclusion of participatory interests in a portfolio, as may be amended from time to time.
Nothing in this supplemental deed and the deed contained shall preclude the manager from varying the ratio of securities and assets in liquid form in terms of changing economic factors or market conditions and from retaining cash or placing cash on deposit in terms of the deed; provided that the manager shall ensure that the aggregate value of the assets comprising the portfolio consists of securities and assets in liquid form of the aggregate value required from time to time by the Act.
The trustee shall ensure that the investment policy set out in this supplemental deed is carried out; provided that nothing in this supplemental deed and the deed contained shall preclude the manager from purchasing securities and assets in liquid form and from retaining cash in the portfolio or placing cash on deposit in terms of the deed.
