The portfolio will be managed in compliance with prudential investment guidelines for retirement funds in South Africa to the extent allowed for by the Act. To provide capital stability, the portfolio's maximum effective equity exposure will be up to 40% of the portfolio's net asset value. It may invest in global and local equity securities, interest bearing securities, property shares, property related securities, preference shares, money market instruments, non-equity securities and assets in liquid form. The portfolio may also invest in participatory interests and other forms of participation in portfolios of collective investment schemes or other similar schemes operated in territories with a regulatory environment which is to the satisfaction of the manager and trustee of a sufficient standard to provide investor protection at least equivalent to that in South Africa and which is consistent with the portfolio's primary objective.
