The Satrix Property Index Fund is a specialist index tracking fund which tracks the performance of the FTSE/JSE SA Listed Property Index (J253). We believe that the benchmark choice and resulting returns form the most important elements of an equity strategy - by investing in a passive vehicle the returns to investment strategies are known.

By applying a full replication strategy, the fund will mirror the composition of the chosen benchmark. In order to reduce costs and minimise tracking error, Satrix Property Index Fund engages in scrip lending activities. The fund is rebalanced quarterly.

In order to achieve these objectives, the securities normally to be acquired in the Sanlam Investment Management Property Index Fund portfolio shall consist of those shares, at fair market prices, which substantially make up the FTSE/JSE SA Listed Property Index (J253) with due regard to the weightings defined therein. Other securities (derivatives) and assets in liquid form may be included from time to time to account for liquidity and index fluctuations. Apart from the above, the portfolio may also invest in participatory interests of portfolios of collective investment schemes registered in the Republic of South Africa or of participatory interest in collective investment schemes or other similar schemes operated in territories with a regulatory environment which is to the satisfaction of the manager and the trustee of a sufficient standard to provide for investor protection which is at least equivalent to that in South Africa. The underlying CIS portfolios will always be property tracker portfolios.
