Associated Portfolio Solutions ('APS') is an association of independent financial advisors who specialise in wealth and portfolio management. Each associate is approved as an authorised financial services provider by the Financial Services Board and has been specifically invited to become an associate by the APS board on the basis of the associates’ years of experience in the industry, expertise and reputation in the financial services industry.

The portfolio will invest in assets in liquid form and in participatory interest 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 trustees and of a sufficient standard to provide investor protection which is at least similar to South Africa. Apart from cash and assets in liquid form the portfolio will invest in participatory interest of underlying portfolios that provide exposure to equities across all economic groups and industry sectors of the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa, as well as across the range of large, mid and small cap shares. The underlying portfolios may invest in financial instruments, subject to prevailing regulation. The fund manager will be allowed to invest in offshore investment as legislation permits.
