The portfolio aims to offer investors total returns that are in excess of inflation over the medium-term and is suitable for conservative investors requiring a high level of capital protection, with the potential for some capital growth and who do not wish to make complex asset allocation decisions between equities, cash and bonds, both locally and offshore. Diversification across asset classes and a maximum equity exposure of 40% helps to reduce risk and volatility relative to an average prudential portfolio. The portfolio complies with Regulation 28 of the South African Pension Funds Act.
