Element Earth Equity SCI Fund - Dec 19
2020/02/26 00:00:00
The Element Earth Equity SCI Fund (“Fund”) realised a total return of +3.4% for the quarter to the end of December 2019, behind its benchmark’s (FTSE/JSE All Share Index: “ALSI”) return of +4.6% over the quarter.
The December 2019 quarterly performance brings the rolling one-year total return of the Fund to +6.6% (below the ALSI’s +12%) and annualised total return over the last rolling three years to +5.3% p.a. (note that all returns are net of/after fees). Element Earth Equity SCI Fund has outperformed the ASISA South Africa Equity General category average of +3.9% p.a. over the last rolling three years, despite the Fund being a SA Equity-only Fund (i.e. it has zero global equity exposure).
The Fund’s underperformance over the 2019 year was largely due to our overweight positions in Afrox and Glencore as well as our underweight position in Naspers. South African domestic-focused shares underperformed the ALSI owing to little earnings growth generated from the South African economy. The underperformers overshadowed strong performances from the Fund’s over-weights in the Gold and Platinum sector.
The Element Earth Equity Fund is an actively managed, domestic general equity fund that aims to provide investors with the opportunity to achieve long-term capital appreciation with a moderate level of income. This is done by investing in a portfolio of equities listed on the JSE. In addition, the fund uses its presence to promote awareness of corporate responsibility performance measurements, including environmental management, social responsibility, economic empowerment and corporate governance. This is achieved through constructive engagement with management of the companies in which the fund invests in. The fund is suitable for individuals who are in wealth build-up phase or individuals and small retirement funds that wish to make a positive impact on the corporate landscape by investing in a fund that promotes good corporate citizenship.
