MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Introduction Manager Watch™ Survey of Retirement Fund Investment Managers The Manager Watch™ Survey of Retirement Fund Investment Managers is an annual survey that showcases the performance of institutional fund managers in South Africa and has been published since 1994.
The structure of the survey This edition includes fifteen surveys with 54 managers and 331 funds, covering four balanced surveys, ten specialist surveys, and the multi-manager survey. The criteria for participation in any of the surveys remains unchanged from 2010 where a fund size of R200 million, as well as a 12-month track record, is prerequisite. The R200 million criteria is applicable to all funds in most survey categories except where it is specifically indicated that this criteria is excluded. Managers are encouraged to submit new entrants into the surveys promptly as we are cognisant of not allowing back-fill bias to skew our historical databases. All participants are, from time to time, expected to sign a document pertaining to participation rules for the Alexander Forbes Manager Watch™ surveys. The following surveys are included: ■ SA Manager Watch™ and Global Manager Watch™ Survey – Balanced Mandates ■ SA Equity Manager Watch™ Survey ■ SA Bond Manager Watch™ Survey ■ SA Money Market Manager Watch™ Survey ■ Absolute Return Manager Watch™ Survey ■ Targeted Development Investment Survey ■ Fund of Hedge Funds Survey ■ SA Property Manager Watch™ Survey ■ Multi-Manager Watch™ Survey ■ Medical Aid Manager Watch™ Survey ■ BEE Manger Watch™ Survey ■ LDI Manager Watch™ Survey Each survey shows performance returns over different time periods as well as risk-adjusted performance over a 4
three-year period in figures and an easy to use graphical format. 2016 saw a number of exits as well as new entries to the existing surveys with many managers improving their data delivery standards to adhere to the Alexander Forbes data standards. The table on page 5 reflects funds that entered or exited the surveys over the past year, as well as any name changes. The primary surveys (namely balanced, equity, bond, money market and absolute return) include a detailed commentary around the pertinent issues experienced by funds within this survey over the various periods to December 2016. This serves to inform readers of the themes that the markets are being influenced by. We also give indicative fee ranges for the different mandates based on fee scales that asset managers submit. We have also differentiated between base fees and performance fees. The fee survey provides transparency and scrutiny of fee structures for different investment mandates within the industry as a means of providing trustees insight into the costing of different mandates which can be implemented subject to the cost sensitivities of pension funds. This year we have included an analysis of fee structures over the last three years to provide deeper insight into trends in various fee categories and inherent implications. The key note article for this year’s publication is entitled: Benchmarking your Investment Strategy. The intention of this article is to demonstrate the importance of spending sufficient time and effort in selecting appropriate benchmarks for your investment strategy and each of the underlying asset classes or strategies.
Section 2 provides an in depth look at when it comes to assessing investment potential, how do we shift our focus from an obsession with short term performance to whether we are meeting our specific investment goals? In this section we also provide an economic review of what happened in 2016 and how balanced managers navigated the prevailing economic conditions. A glossary of commonly used investment terms is included.
Conclusion Remember that the surveys only provide a platform for asset managers to display returns simply and credibly. Whilst trying to keep these surveys simple and easy to read it is imperative to include a number of useful indicators for greater understanding of risk and performance. Manager evaluation should never be done in isolation but rather with a clear understanding of the weaknesses that any data sources inherently bring to the table. Ideally, analyses need to be done through different market environments using a number of different sources and advice, before a fair assessment of strengths and weaknesses can be made. Lastly, past performance is no indication of future performance – Caveat Emptor! To access our Manager WatchTM Series of Surveys: https://www. alexanderforbes.co.za/ research/publications

# AuM as reported in the Alexander Forbes AuM survey June 2016 - these figures represent AuM that exclude international mandates; *Not Available at time of printing. Please note that due to standardization methodology, numbers may be overstated.
Review of AUM for June 2016 Out of the 44 participating asset managers, Old Mutual Investment Group (OMIG) is now the biggest South African asset manager with International investment mandates. OMIG’s growth in AuM of 9.4% was largely attributed to new mandates acquired over the year. Coronation Fund Managers followed, albeit that the asset management house saw a reduction in AuM due to market movement and a subsequent loss in mandates. Investec Asset Management remained in third position while Allan Gray Ltd moved up to fourth position on
6
the back of strong performance despite a 1% decrease in their AuM. Sanlam Investment Management moved into 5th place. Sygnia Asset Management and Aluwani Capital Partners were two new additions to the survey. The Total AuM including Multi Managers decreased by 3.7% over the 12 months. The 10 largest investment management companies in South Africa accounted for 69.7% of total AUM including Multi
Managers, reflecting a 4.3% decline since June 2015. The next grouping of 10 asset managers (ranked by size) saw an increase in AuM of 1.8% over the same period, while the balance of the asset managers within the survey universe grew by 2.5%.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Asset Distribution to Manager BEE ratings The asset distribution shifted in 2016 towards Level 2 asset managers with a 9.5% drop in the Level 3 contributors. While the comparative change from 2014 to 2015 was distorted by a significant change in the calculation methodology for the BBBEE scorecard, the change from 2015 to 2016 was indicative of an increase in assets being managed by BBBEE (Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment) managers. A Level 2 asset manager that moved to Level 3 BBBEE status was Prescient Investment Management. Sanlam Investment Management, a level 3 contributor in 2015, moved to Level 2 in 2016 while First Avenue Investment Management moved from a Level 2 contributor to Level 1 in 2016.

Benchmarking your Investment Strategy Performance measurers seek benchmarks the way bees seek honey – Peter Bernstein
Performance, performance, performance! There seems to be an unnatural obsession about performance in the investment industry. Each year the top-performing funds draw not only accolades, but attract significant capital inflows. How can an award-winning fund for the year not be the right strategy going forward? If one reviews the outcomes of the Alexander Forbes Large Manager Watch™ and Equity surveys over the previous two years, the answer is not so simple. Many of the top quartile performers of 2015 have moved to the bottom quartile for 2016 while some of the poorest performers of 2015 are in the top quartile of this year’s surveys. (This is not an outlier phenomenon!) Whenever you forget that it is myopic to draw conclusions on the quality of your investment strategy purely based on historic performance – remember the health warning for funds – Past performance is no indicator of the future.
PERFORMANCE is an after-the-fact measurement and remains largely a measure of the efficacy of the implementation of your overall investment strategy. It represents how you were rewarded by the market based on the risks that you were exposed to. A good manager can have perceived irregular performance due to the cyclicality of investment styles and the changes in the risk factors, which are not at that point in time positively aligned to the underlying investment philosophy. One thing that you can be sure about performance is that it is never constant – the market giveth and the market taketh.
11
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
The critical problem lies in the inferences that you draw from performance and is usually based on some top-level peer group or index benchmark comparison. Investors would invariably conclude that sustained underperformance is reflective of a poor manager and becomes a predictor of future poor performance, or vice versa. This inadvertently gives significant power to the chosen benchmark! As such, the selection of the benchmark cannot be taken lightly. It must be reflective of the objectives that the strategy is seeking to achieve or else you are comparing apples with oranges. Does it make sense to compare your equity portfolio against a cash index? A multi-asset strategy to equity benchmarks? Does it make sense for a small cap equity strategy to have the broad market index as its benchmark? Does it even make sense to compare a targeted multimanager strategy to the Large Manager Watch Index? 12
You would expect your invested portfolio to perform broadly in line with your chosen benchmark. But your benchmark also articulates your risk appetite, and therefore, it will impact on other decisions such as your choice of underlying strategies, manager selection and in more advanced strategies the use of tactical hedging. This has a further implication – a top level performance comparison provides an incomplete perspective of the full risk return dimension. In an ever evolving world of savings and investments, specifically given the current shift towards goals-based investing frameworks, it makes the understanding of the performance and its underlying attribution a core requirement for trustees, asset consultants, managers and strategy designers. The intention of this article is to demonstrate the importance of spending sufficient time and effort in selecting appropriate benchmarks for
your investment strategy and each of the underlying asset classes or strategies. The first part of this article is very practical and explains what constitutes a good benchmark as well as how benchmarks are constructed and measured. Part two of the article dissects the investment strategy development process and the impact that benchmarks can have on defining and assessing the strategy. You should at this point realise that multi-asset class strategies should never have an equity index, peer group or worse still, an inflation measure as its primary benchmark. Such relationships are highly disconnected from academic research and is at best anecdotal.
SECTION 1
PART 1:
BENCHMARKS 101 Investment benchmarks are in their simplest form the reference point to gauge sentiment or performance. Like all things in finance, the understanding and use of benchmarks evolved. Recently, the focus on benchmarks and risk management has shifted to such esoterica as smart beta, non-market cap related benchmarks, and benchmarks that capture goals-based solutions. Consider that now benchmarks need to help us address appropriate asset allocations, model expected liabilities, define asset class relationships, articulate risk tolerances, and of course, proxy past performance.
Your choice of benchmark plays four principal roles within your investment strategy: 1. It must capture the return profile of the strategy or asset class. The risk risk premiums that drives return for the benchmark must be similar to your strategy. This makes attribution of performance easier, allowing for a superior understanding of the underlying strategy and manager selection decisions. 2. It must capture the risk profile of the strategy or asset class. This is similar to the return profile but extends to other dimensions of risk such as risk of capital loss. The relevant risk characteristics of your benchmarks must be similar to your strategy and your risk tolerances. The sensitivities of the benchmarks must to a large degree have similar sensitivities as your objective. If the risk profile is significantly different, then fundamental elements of your strategy are not being captured in your benchmark framework. 3. It should largely reflect the strategic (long-term) investment opportunity set of the asset class securities that you intend to hold. An inflationary or peer group benchmark may not be appropriate as it does not provide a framework for defining the investable universe. In some instances the benchmark not only sets what can be invested in but also what cannot. 4. It must be transparent enough to make meaningful comparisons and attribution for performance and risk. If risk and return attribution has a larger component from non-benchmark sources, the investment strategy and benchmark framework need to be reviewed.
There are four popular types of benchmarks: MARKET OR CUSTOM INDICES Portfolios of securities weighted by market capitalisation, risk exposures or other acceptable weighting framework. These are investable portfolios and provide the basis for implementing a passive solution over an active one.
TARGET RETURN
Either a risk free

or inflation

type of benchmark. These benchmarks capture the return but not the risk expectations of the strategy or the universe. Therefore, this becomes a limiting option.
PEER GROUPS Usually a collection of competitors for a specific strategy or objective. However, the return of peer groups is not achievable because one cannot know the constituents in advance and all peer groups will suffer from survivorship biases.
RANDOM PORTFOLIOS Also known as PODs. Probability Opportunity Distribution is a hypothetical set of distributions drawn from a universe of investable securities ranging from being 100% invested in the best asset to 100% invested in the worst asset. The strategy and manager outcome should be within the top half of the distribution. Although favoured by analysts it is a difficult concept to understand. The value of PODs though is that this type of benchmark can be structured to reflect only the universe that the manager invests in and, as such, is probably one of the best ways to capture manager skill.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
You will see later that, although selecting a specific benchmark is an individual decision, it has a profound effect on how you would manage and implement your strategy. The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) institute and the investment industry have agreed that there are some minimum standards that a benchmark should meet. A benchmark must be: ■■ Unambiguous – the individual securities and their weights in a benchmark should be clearly identifiable. Each security is clearly understood with a defined exposure. ■■ Investable – it must be possible to replicate and hold the benchmark to earn its return. If the benchmark is not investable, it is not a viable investment alternative. ■■ Measurable – you must be able to timeously and readily calculate the benchmark’s return and other relevant metrics. ■■ Appropriate – the benchmark must be consistent with the manager’s investment style or area of expertise. ■■ Specified in advance – it must be constructed prior to the evaluation period so that the manager is not judged against benchmarks created after the fact. ■■ Accountable – managers must accept being held accountable to the benchmark. ■■ Reflective of the manager’s current investment opinions – the manager should be familiar with the securities that constitute the benchmark and their risk exposures. ■■ Meaningful – the investment objective it reflects must be a meaningful proxy for trustees or investors’ funding requirements.
This framework is supportive of the use of index-based benchmarking as the table below examines the four popular benchmark types against some of the minimum criteria.

It is not unpopular to have multiple benchmarks. Although this practice is acceptable and can be used to provide insight into your investment strategy, portfolio managers should be given only one benchmark to work with. Carl Bacon, a doyen in performance measurement, says that, “giving a portfolio manager multiple benchmarks simultaneously creates a potential conflict of interest. A classic example is assigning an index and a peer group as benchmarks and asking a portfolio manager to outperform both at the same time. This type of objective is muddled.”
14
Peer group
Indices are not static and evolve over time due to market activities such as mergers, secondary listings and IPOs; underlying processes such as index rebalancing; and most importantly index methodology changes. The following is a review of three of the most significant practical aspects within an index construction methodology that results in differences between index providers but more importantly within the risk-return profile:
1. Eligible securities The choice of securities that represents an asset class, market or strategy can vary. We will look at the definitions of security inclusion for the equity indices of the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE) as defined by three major global index providers: FTSE Russell, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and MSCI to understand the differences that can arise from the universe definition.
SECTION 1
FTSE RUSSELL Extract from FTSE/JSE Index rules
All classes of ordinary shares in issue, excluding inward listings affecting foreign portfolio investment allowances, are eligible for inclusion in the FTSE/JSE Africa Index Series, subject to conforming to all other rules of eligibility, free float and liquidity. For the purposes of the FTSE/JSE Africa Index Series, where a security is listed on the JSE and is traded on the JSE trading system, that security will be considered as South African for the purposes of nationality and therefore eligible for the FTSE/JSE Africa Index Series, subject to conforming to all other eligibility criteria. Convertible preference shares and loan stocks are excluded until converted. There are further considerations regarding trading volume and that the index will reflect 99% of the market of the JSE’s main board. The S&P methodology for SA equities is defined slightly differently:
S&P Extract from S&P South Africa Index rules
To be eligible for inclusion in the S&P South Africa Composite, a company’s primary market listing must be included in the S&P Global Broad Market Index (BMI) or the S&P Frontier BMI. This includes both foreign domiciled (non-South African) and domestic domiciled (South African) companies as defined by S&P Dow Jones Indices. Exchange Listing. The security must trade on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Market Capitalization. New additions to the index must have a float-adjusted market capitalization equal to or greater than US$ 100 million. At the annual reconstitution, any constituent with a floatadjusted market capitalization that falls below US$ 75 million is removed. Trading Volume. At the annual reconstitution, stocks must have an annual dollar value traded of at least US$ 50 million over the previous 12 months for inclusion in the S&P South Africa Composite. Index constituents are removed if their annual dollar value traded falls below US$ 35 million during the previous 12 months.
15
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
MSCI restricts the universe to ordinary shares only in issue with a primary listing on the JSE. All secondary-listed securities are excluded resulting in a very different universe. Shares such as AB InBev, Richemont, BHP Billiton, Anglo American and Old Mutual to name a few are all excluded due to this definition. As a result the number of shares used in the MSCI South Africa Index is significantly different from the other two providers. S&P’s definition also allows for the use of preference shares and other share classes whereas the FTSE Russell definition does not. Factor Indices Evolutions in universe definition have resulted in the emergence of factor indices and the Smart Beta market. Here the broad market is further filtered based on a share’s primary risk premiums or factors. It is based on academic research where evidence that market returns are driven by predefined factors – first popularised by the Fama-French 3-factor model. Style indices are derived from this group – value, momentum, quality, size and others. Fundamental indices such as the RAFI are another universe filter where fundamental (financial statement driven) characteristics are used to reduce the investment universe. Similar to the risk premiums approach, metrics such as Price to Earnings ratios, dividend yield and so on are used to define the index universe. 16
2. Weighting structures The most common weighting structure that is largely consistent with Modern Portfolio Theory is the use of the market capitalisation approach where the proportional market value of the share relative to the total market value is the final weighting. Of course the bigger the market cap of the firm then the bigger its weighting. A less popular approach would be a price weighted index, where the price of a share determines its weighting and not the size of the firm. South Africa does not have any public price weighted indices. Newer approaches have looked at risk as a determinant to weight the portfolio and not the company size. The earliest of these were equally weighted indices where each share had the same weight in the index, allowing for equal exposure of company specific risk. Risk parity weighting is an approach which looks at the expected risk of each share (every share should have a different level of risk). The weighting is then determined by a process where each share contributes the same amount of risk within the overall index. This would result in an index slightly different from the equally weighted model. Market-capped indices. Markets with high or skewed concentrations have had to look at approaches to limit the exposure of shares, which dominate the index and create a perceived market
or liquidity risk. Capping limits can be regulatory or consensus based. Nokia and Ericsson’s size dominated the Finnish and Swedish markets in the early 2000s not dissimilar to Anglo American in South Africa. In South African markets Naspers is the dominant share at over 15% in many broad market indices. Many market practitioners believe that capping the share in the index is more appropriate. Evolutions that have followed are the use of Free-float and Domestic shareholder weighted methodologies. A Free-float methodology adjusts the market capitalisation by adjusting the market capitalisation for shares available for trade in the market. It excludes strategic shares held by government, corporates and other entities. This new market capitalisation determines the weighting. Similarly shareholder weighted methodologies (for example SWIX) would adjust market capitalisation further to reflect what is assumed to be freely available shares available to domestic funds. Fundamental, factor, style and other smart beta indices can use any of these weighting methods for construction. The combination of this universe definition and weighting methodology can create customised solutions for funds.
SECTION 1
3. Rebalancing process This is an often neglected area of understanding, but once an index is implemented it becomes a dynamic structure like any portfolio. Market price movements will, through time, change the weights of each share – the winners become bigger and the losers, smaller. Rebalancing is the process of resetting the weights in line with the methodology. It also takes into consideration new entrants and other corporate activity. The longer the period of rebalancing, the more drift (misalignment to method) can be introduced into the portfolio. The index may not capture new entrants
and new eligible companies due to other corporate activity. Too short a period, and you introduce unnecessary turnover and change to the underlying tracking portfolios. Fixed income benchmarks are not as straightforward as equity indices. Firstly, if one assumes a market cap weighting framework then you are exposed to those countries or entities that issue the most debt – which might represent the more risky strategy. A popular global benchmark is the Citibank World Government Bond Index with over 55% of its exposure solely to US and Japanese debt. Another issue with fixed income benchmarks is that many instruments
are illiquid and difficult to price. Thirdly, the duration, the key sensitivity of the asset, is driven by the bond issuer characteristics and is not reflective of the investor preference of risk. Jointly these issues make some of the interpretations of performance and risk for fixed income more nuanced than equity. With practice, performance and risk attribution become easier to interpret. With benchmarks today covering all types of assets and investment strategies, it makes sense to choose carefully but only after deciding one’s investment goals and risk tolerance.
PART 2: THE EFFECT OF
BENCHMARKS IN DEFINING YOUR INVESTMENT STRATEGY Asset managers will argue that there is far more value in trying to make sure that they generate absolute returns for investors than beat benchmarks, which in many instances would be correct if they were designing and managing the complete investment strategy and not a sub-component of a bigger strategy.
We know that the investment strategy has many moving parts, starting with an innate understanding of the investment objective. Most retirement funds’ define this objective as achieving a specific Net Replacement Ratio (NRR), which represents the percentage of final monthly salary that the member will be able to replace based on the value of the savings accumulated at retirement. The set objective will set a precedent for defining the required investment strategy. The higher you set the target NRR the more you will require the use of aggressive strategies to achieve the outcome. The higher you set the contributions per month the more the use of defensive strategies becomes viable. A higher retirement age of a firm, would also allow for more aggressive strategies. Thus there is no one-size-fits-all strategy but an interplay between investment objective, horizon and the available level of funding needs to be considered in the design of the appropriate strategy. Other significant elements that impact on the definition of the investment strategy include the investment beliefs of the fund, the available risk budget, liquidity requirements, risk management framework, governance framework and other specific exclusions.
17
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
The fund analysis and governance set out the framework to define and frame the investment objectives. Thereafter, each decision made will have an impact on the risk profile of the strategy used to meet the objective. The traditional approach to design the investment strategy starts with defining an SAA (strategic asset allocation) using a long-term Asset-Liability Model (ALM) or risk model as the central methodology. This modelling framework captures assumptions for investment horizon, risk, returns, mortality, asset class relationships and so on. What is important is that these models attempt to isolate the risk premia that drive asset class performance and simultaneously define the inter-relationship of performance between asset classes. This is usually modelled using broad market indices, one for each asset class. If you change the definition of the index representing an asset class you will change the relationship to the other asset classes. If the relationship changes then the mechanism that determines asset class diversification (capturing return at lower risk) would also change, and as a result the calculated strategic weights for the same objective would be different for each set of inputs.

SECTION 1
UNDERSTANDING
THE RISK-RETURN TRADE OFF To understand the inter-relationship of asset classes requires one to understand correlations and the mathematics to define the volatility of a portfolio of assets. We will use a simple case of a two-asset portfolio to demonstrate this calculation. The equation takes into account five variables:
w(1) = the portfolio weight of the first asset
v(1) = the volatility of the first asset
w(2) = the portfolio weight of the second asset
v(2) = the volatility of the second asset
c(1,2) = correlation between the two assets
Portfolio volatility = (w(1)^2 × v(1)^2) + (w(2)^2 × v(2)^2) + (2 × (w(1)v(1)w(2)v(2)c(1,2)) We will use this formulae in simple application of defining a two-asset investment strategy using equity and bonds. Assume that you are building your strategy on the following assumptions: equity with a volatility of 18% and bonds at 8%, with a correlation of 0.5. The calculated volatility of a 60% equity- 40% bond portfolio will then be 12.71%. For purposes of illustration, let us further assume that volatility captures the optimal strategy.
Now assume that you used a more volatile index to estimate equity risk – say 20% volatility, but with no change to the correlation. The resultant volatility will be 13.88%, much more than your original (optimal) portfolio risk. To have the same level of risk, you would need to adjust the exposure to equities downwards by almost 8%, resulting in a 52% equity and 48% bond portfolio. The reciprocal scenario also holds true and this is analogous for liability driven analytics as well.
A fairly common mistake is to model the underlying investment strategy with risk defined by one benchmark and to then implement the solution using a completely different benchmark. The unintended consequence is a very different risk profile than was original captured. Sometimes the differences are small but in others it can result in a large disconnect to expected outcomes.
This is a critical risk management process at two levels: operational implementation and investment risk measurement.
A decision such as this must be intentional.
19
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
PORTFOLIO
CONSTRUCTION PHASE The portfolio construction phase looks at how the SAA is decomposed into asset class strategies, including the use of hedge funds, alternatives and other unlisted assets. Each of these would be assigned a benchmark; even the traditional asset classes may be assigned different benchmarks. This change in benchmark may be considered a change in risk and, therefore, a shift in expected performance. This can be further compounded by incorrectly matching strategies to the original asset classes, for example choosing an equity hedge fund strategy instead of implementing a cash mandate. Hedge funds have notoriously referenced a cash plus alpha benchmark for many years, despite the underlying strategy being significantly exposed to equity risks. A more appropriate benchmark for hedge funds would actually be a composite benchmark of equity and cash. The effect of these decisions may not be obvious at first glance. The selection of manager phase can result in a further change of benchmarks, and hence a change of the risk-return framework. Tactical decisions, including decisions to hedge, can create deviations from the original strategy. In theory, a fund that has implemented a risk budget or risk monitoring framework would be able to quantify and attribute the risk of each of these decisions:

SECTION 1
At this point it should become obvious that the selection of the correct benchmark is critically important for several reasons. First, your investment strategy risk and return profile will be heavily influenced by the benchmark. Second, inappropriate selection can result in unexplained deviations of performance to the objective, as asset class exposures will be incorrectly set. Third, secondary decisions such as manager selection, tactical hedging and so on will become significantly influenced by the benchmark. Fourth, some benchmarks are better suited to specific investment goals than others. If the primary goal is capital preservation, an important consideration for the bond index might be credit quality and therefore a government bond index is more suitable. If the portfolio is intended to offset liabilities that change with interest rates, the most important consideration would be selecting a benchmark with high interest rate sensitivity, rather than just prospective returns. You should evaluate your return goals and risk tolerance to guide the selection of an index. In most instances a
composite benchmark with the correct weighting of underlying broad market indices reflecting the asset classes would suffice. However, in some instances a more customised view may need to be adopted to meet unique goals and risk tolerances. For example, an investor with a low risk tolerance should select a bond index with a shorter duration and/ or higher credit quality. An investor seeking higher returns in the equity space should implement a composite index with exposures to particular risk premia such as size and value, which should generate higher returns over the long run but may simultaneously exhibit significant performance volatility and negative returns over shorter time periods. Funds with specific long-term liabilities should consider not only the cash flows associated with their liabilities, but also the risk factors that can cause changes in the liabilities. It might be of value to create a custom benchmark composed of a combination of government bonds, index-linked bonds, swaps and corporate bonds that closely matches the risk factors of the liabilities. This customisation could be better than
existing indices as it provides a better frame of reference while also providing flexibility to adapt to changes in the liability stream over time. Funds with high staff turnover, retirement strategies that draw down, DB schemes and such others will need more liquid portfolios. They should select benchmarks for their cash and fixed interest components with a shorter duration. Using longer dated benchmarks that contain fewer liquid securities will exhibit greater interest rate sensitivity and a false reflection of both the investable universe and the risk return profile. Remember at its very basic level a benchmark can simply be used as a gauge for performance but retirement funds should not be interested in the basics. You have a responsibility to your members to ensure that the objectives and expectations set out by the fund are implemented in an appropriate fiduciary manner. Correctly setting your benchmarks will assist in executing your strategy at multiple levels.

It should be noted that historical performance is not an indication of future performance nor is it a direct indicator of skill. Many of these funds use peer relative performance benchmarks and not investable benchmarks. The current positioning and exposure of funds, is more relevant to an investment strategy. Please use all information within this survey and interpretations therefrom cautiously and use an asset consultant when matching your liabilities to appropriate assets and fund strategies.
Sources of performance Multi-Asset class portfolios build and implement their investment strategies based on a multitude of methods; the most popular being economic macro research; asset allocation modelling (strategic and tactical); relative asset class valuation; assessment of market risks; security valuation; portfolio construction and market hedging strategies. Its primary driver of return is its asset allocation strategy as it will seek to take advantage of the different expected returns between assets; while sector and/or security selection within the asset seek to provide additional sources of performance. The portfolio manager will also use the asset class exposures to manage an overall risk strategy. 24
SECTION 2
Market dynamics that influenced performance and strategy over 2016 2016 was another tough year for local investors, especially for those approaching retirement where investment returns for many have been negative in real terms for the last two years. The year had a number of significant events which in itself did not define the year but rather sustained already difficult economic conditions. The dominant economic themes that influenced markets and portfolio management strategy were: ■■ The most significant story of 2016 had to be the unexpected vote by Britain to leave the European Union (Brexit). The sharp sell-off in June, was followed by a quick recovery as investors realised that the exit will be drawn out, with downside risks expected to be absorbed via monetary stimulus by central banks. The full impact to the global economy is uncertain as negotiations begin to manage the exit. The British pound has slid by over 10% to most major currencies (18% to the USD) at that point, reflecting a devalued economy going forward. The UK is a country that consumes more than it manufactures and imports more than it exports. Inflation is a major concern for the economy at this stage; and as a major economy, it may introduce contagion into its Emerging Markets (EM) trading partners. The Bank of England (BOE) still saw it fit to cut its 2017 growth forecasts from 2.3% to 0.8%. The full ramifications of Brexit are still to be seen. ■■ Continuing concerns over the Chinese economy and in turn global growth peaked in January when the government announced another monetary and fiscal stimulus package to support economic growth. These efforts provided a noticeable boost to commodities and Emerging Markets that had both started the year on a tough footing. Despite the recovery in growth expectations by late June the Chinese stock market experienced its worst decline since the 2008 financial crisis. Of more importance to international investors was the local currency, the yuan. The government frequently adjusted the USD-CNY currency peg to allow depreciation of its currency but at the same time spent billions of its dollar reserves
to ensure a gradual shift in the exchange rate rather than a dramatic depreciation that many hedge funds began to speculate on. The Chinese economy still showed positive growth of 6.7% in the last quarter but the on-going shifts in economic policy suggest that the government will continue to struggle to meet its targets in 2017. ■■ After starting the year with expectations of numerous interest rate increases, the Federal Reserve eventually raised interest rates by 0.25% in December, with the new rate now standing at 0.75%. Failure to hike earlier in the year was a boost to commodity, equity and Emerging Markets that had all suffered when the market initially priced in much higher global discount rates. In contrast to the US, Europe and Japan cut rates into negative interest rate territory. While growth has been improving in Europe, it has been at a very slow rate. ■■ In January, the oil price sank to a 13 year low as it hit $27 a barrel. Since then, the oil price recovered and ended the year at approximately $55. This has driven an overall rally across most commodities through the year; a significant factor for Africa’s resource driven economy. ■■ Locally, the focus was on South Africa’s credit rating review by the three major credit rating agencies. Once again, South Africa was able to avoid the downgrade to non-investment grade (“junk status”). Political instability, low growth and unemployment were highlighted as on-going concerns for the credit agencies with all three major agencies assessed the outlook for the rating as negative. ■■ Local politics dominated news over the year for both the right and wrong reasons. The 2016 Local Government Elections was largely a peaceful and fair event. On the downside, political uncertainty regarding policy direction and continued political pressure on the Finance Minister resulted in spurts of local currency and bond weakness. On the whole, the Rand recovered strongly through the year vs. developed currencies, in-line with most other Emerging Markets
■■ Over the year, the Reserve Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) opted to keep the repo rate unchanged at 7% per annum, after raising lending rates by 0.75% in a pre-emptive move to try to curb inflation in January. In its September statement, the Reserve Bank noted, “Should current forecasts transpire, we may be close to the end of the tightening cycle”, cautiously signaling the end of the current tightening cycle. Despite a turbulent year, global equity and bond markets still managed positive gains over the year, returning 8.5% (MSCI ACWI) and 1.6% (Citi WGBI) respectively (both in US dollars). Emerging markets (MSCI EM) returned 11.6% to outperform their developed counterparts over the year (in US dollars). In the final quarter, the 10-year US bond yield spiked up by 0.85% to 2.44%, because of a recovery in growth and inflation expectations that were aided by Donald Trump’s US election victory. This negatively affected global bond markets (Citi WGBI) over December (-0.7%) and the quarter (-8.5%) (in US dollars). Market volatility, low economic growth as well as local and global political uncertainty made 2016 tough for the local asset classes. In the local market, nominal bonds were the best performing asset class for 2016, delivering a total return of 15.5%, on the back of improving political developments and stabilisation of local inflation expectations. Local equity returns were muted over the year, returning 2.6%. Resources was the best performing sector, returning 34.2% for the year boosted by the recovery in commodity prices. Financials, up 5.4% for the year, benefited from the rand’s appreciation against the major currencies and South Africa avoiding a credit downgrade over the year. Industrials (-6.6%) lagged behind because of large-cap rand hedge stocks that have been negatively affected by the rand’s appreciation against the major currencies.

The top three performing sectors during the fourth quarter were banks (11.0%), telecommunications (6.7%) and chemicals (5.7%). At the bottom were consumer services (-11.0%), healthcare (-10.7%) and basic materials (-1.2%). Mid caps (26.9%) outperformed small caps (20.9%) while large caps (-1.6%) struggled over the year.
A deterioration in foreign sentiment towards local equities was confirmed by the considerable level of foreign capital outflows from equity markets, amassing around R124.8 billion cumulatively for 2016 and an outflow of around R28 billion in the fourth quarter.
The rand experienced strong appreciation against the US dollar (11.5%), euro (14.0%) and sterling (26.0%) over the year.
How the managers performed over 2016 The difficult macro environment that transpired was expected with most managers feeling finally justified in structuring their portfolios defensively, with lower equity exposures and higher cash exposure vs longer term averages. Like the recent past the most influential factor on multi-asset mandates was the allocation to global assets, in particular the allocation to developed markets and currencies; which performed poorly and proved to be a complete reversal of 2015. The four most contributing factors and themes that led to differentiated performances amongst funds were: 1. Exposure to local cash vs local bonds for defensive allocations 2. Allocation to developed markets and currencies 3. Exposure to commodities and resource shares 4. Choosing Rand hedge stocks for local equity 26
The majority of the SA BIV managers kept their asset allocations relatively stable for the year, with only Investec and Prescient making significant increases in local equity exposure (c.+10% and +20%) respectively. Prescient started the year with the lowest average equity exposure of 38.3% and has simply moved to the peer group average exposure. Unfortunately this was a relatively poor decision and was an under par performance outcome for investors. Oasis and Coronation, Stanlib were the three managers with differing asset allocation to the peer universe with c. 70%, 69% and 48% equity exposure relative to the peer average of 58%. With Bonds being the best performing asset for the year, investment in this asset class was a key differentiator of performance. Pan Africa’s 40% exposure to the asset class almost double the exposure of the next manager was a winning decision for the manager, with a return of 14.67%. This was a driver for its leading performance for the year in
the category; a reversal of 2015 where it was actually the poorest manager. Foord and Prescient had the lowest exposure at 7.37% and 6.2% respectively favouring cash instead. Both managers struggled due to this. Foord was the poorest performer returning 4.07%. Another key differentiator of performance in the SA BIV category, lay in whether being overweight to resources and underweight to Rand hedge securities. Investec, the top performing strategy for 2015, was in the bottom quartile this year due to its low exposure to the resource sector and rand hedge exposure which contributed to its strong performance in 2015. Stanlib had a strong asset allocation framework which did not convert into strong performance for similar reasons. Allan Gray was the most consistent manager through both cycles, based on security selection and hedging decisions. All managers delivered a positive return for investors.
SECTION 2
The Global BIV funds significantly underperformed the domestic mandates with c.450bp performance differential between the medians a direct opposite of its positive c600bp in 2015. Global markets were subdued but positive in US$, but currency strength was the differentiating factor in performance. Asset allocation views remained closely aligned to the domestic themes but most global BIV managers’ continued to remain at the limits allowed by Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act. Of the 23 managers only 4 were lower than the Regulation 28 limit of 25% by more than 2%. Prescient was lowest at 7.96%, followed by Cadiz (14.05%) with PSG, and Stanlib at 22.89% and 22.86% respectively. Cadiz and PSG used this as a basis to deliver top quartile performance but this was not the case for the other two managers. Prescient and Foord’s preference for cash to bonds remained consistent in the global funds and was a key detractor of performance leaving them languishing
in the bottom quartile. Another manager that held this view was Rezco, 2015’s top manager which unfortunately was the poorest performer of 2016 losing 4.36% of investor’s capital. PSG reversed a poor 2015, being the strongest manager for 2016, returning 14.53% despite high global exposure. This was driven by an equity selection that was a reversal of positions built in the past such as the cyclical mining counters. It also used the local ratings uncertainty to time its entry into the financial sector which benefitted from a late rally.
5% property, 15% global equity, 10% global bonds would have returned 10.2% and would have only performed better than 4 of the 23 managers in the survey. The performance differentials (best fund to worst fund) over one year on the Global BIV has decreased to 19% from 37.25% in 2015, largely due to less outlier negative performance as seen in the past by managers that have now exited the survey. Removing the top fund and the bottom three funds, the remaining 19 funds differ by less than 7%. The performance differential in the SA BIV also reduced to 10.6% from 15.1% in 2015.
Investec’s had similar woes to domestic portfolio; and Allan Gray’s SA BIV performance was repeated in its Global BIV portfolios with Orbis it global partner delivering strong US$ returns. Interestingly a passive strategy of 45% local equity, 15% local bonds, 10% cash,

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Global Balanced Manager Watch™ Survey – Conservative Objective: The portfolios are balanced (multiple asset class) portfolios with exposure to both global and local assets, subject to the restrictions imposed by Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act and aim to minimise the probability of short-term (less than one year) capital loss while targeting long-term (more than five years) capital return. The statistics represent the various categories that portfolios are represented in but only for those managers that are open to new investments.

What trustees need to understand about the ‘hidden variable in investment performance’
THE HIDDEN VARIABLE We know it’s wrong but how do we stop ourselves? When it comes to assessing investment potential, how do we shift our focus from an obsession with short-term performance to whether we’re meeting our specific investment goals?
We aren’t the only ones trying to grapple with this challenge. The CFA Institute has placed such a priority on changing this mindset in the industry that it has formed a collaboration with the State Street Center for Applied Research to address the issue. The CFA Institute (Charter Financial Analyst) sets the professional standards and code of ethics for investment management practitioners globally and broadly engages other finance professionals through their interactions with the investment management industry. Over 120 000 investment and finance professionals globally have passed the vigorous set of exams set by the institute and now hold the designation CFA. The result of the collaboration is a powerful discussion around what should matter most for delivering investment excellence and how we should assess it. We have been loosely involved in this discussion and, as such, felt it was worth sharing some of the preliminary but promising results of this work.
What follows is a discussion of: ■■ what the problem is and how it came about ■■ how we need to shift our focus: phi, the hidden variable behind performance ■■ whether investing is a business or profession ■■ how we stimulate excellence in managers ■■ the four potential models for an enhanced phi score: • the business model of the asset manager (including how talent is attracted, developed and compensated), how profits are shared, how costs are conceptualised and how the business is transformed • the product design • how and where the assets are invested and by whom • the mandate taker versus the mandate giver ■■ how relevant phi is to South African asset managers and trustees.

SECTION 2
What the problem is and how it came about In December 2014, The State Street Center for Applied Research published a powerful assessment of the asset management industry. Titled The Folklore of Finance, it argued that: ■■ Just because the industry is profitable, doesn’t mean it’s successful. Not only were asset managers not producing alpha – the study argued that only 14% of asset managers were delivering against this criterion – but, more importantly, investors were not achieving their long-term goals, which were defined as meeting liabilities, meeting income or cash flow requirements, managing against loss of capital or deriving inflation-beating growth. ■■ The heart of the problem could be found in the ‘folklore’ that governs both how investment professionals behave as well as how investors assess their managers’ worth. This is a folklore that obsesses with past performance and peer outperformance and tends to attribute any success on either front to manager skill and any failure to the markets.1 ■■ The net effect has been an industry grappling with investor distrust, investor dissatisfaction, and increasing disintermediation. The 2015 Hot Topics investment seminar examined in detail why past performance had come to dominate manager selection, despite our understanding that it provided little promise about future performance.
Much was owed to: ■■ the rapid democratisation of the market in the 1980s to the retail investor ■■ the limits of technology to provide decision-making support that would allow individuals to select mutual funds (unit trusts) that could best meet their investment goals. In many ways, past performance was the only criterion available for that choice and so became well entrenched in the industry and with investors. Over the past 30 years, there have been important advances in our understanding about investments. The most important have been around what drives performance outcomes and how tenuous a connection there is between purported manager skill and manager performance outcomes.2 Essentially, we created a ‘cult of performance’ where managers who perform well are deemed to have done so because of intrinsic skills and managers who fail do so because of extrinsic factors. While neither presumption is correct, marketing material for asset managers often highlights performance as the ultimate determinant.

performance, irrespective of whether it was because of market conditions or manager skill. And yet, just as a manager’s contract was terminated, changes in market structure and market drivers would often reverse those performance fortunes.3 The travesty was that asset management businesses would fail on the back of these uninformed decisions.
The consequences of this unfortunate folklore go beyond the simple inadequacy of criteria for manager selection. Over the past decade, several well-documented studies concluded that much of the frenetic activity around manager hiring and firing is destroying rather than adding value over time for their clients. The culprit: decision-making based on poor
In the final analysis, the real loss would be a loss of confidence in the industry. Whether it be asset managers, consultants and advisers, or even solution providers, the growing concern from clients was whether their needs and concerns came first.

By contrast, in the Center for Applied Research and The CFA Institute study, 62% of investment professionals believed that their organisations were placing their own interests first while, tellingly, only 51% of their retail clients believed that financial service companies were placing their interests first.
How we need to shift our focus: phi – the hidden performance variable Both asset management and consulting are powerful tools for achieving a specific end but only when we understand how to correctly use and assess them. The good news is that advances in both technology and our understanding about performance drivers now mean that significantly more can be done to identify what specific client needs are and how to develop solutions that address them. This is less about such issues as decisions around active or
52
passive but more to do with whether we have the right expectations around the true value of investing and what it can realistically achieve. At both the 2015 and 2016 Hot Topics investment seminars, we highlighted the fact that when investment strategies are employed to address well-defined and articulated investment goals for clients, these strategies have a far higher probability of meeting the required investment goals.
It also means that solving for client needs could create as much demand for active strategies (for example identifying companies where managers have responsible and sustainable business models or dynamically shifting asset mixes to meet specific outcomes in variable market conditions) as they might have for passive strategies (for example smart beta, low-cost exchange traded funds and so on).

SECTION 2
The bottom line is that if we could shift the investment industry’s focus away from chasing short-term returns to meeting client-specific investment goals, we could have a significant impact on clients’ assessment of the value provided by the industry. This is exactly the issue that The CFA Institute and the State Street Center for Applied Research focused on. Their quest was to determine what that hidden variable might be that would change both the outcomes for the client and the perceptions of the industry. The result of their research was the identification of a measurable factor that they defined as phi. Phi is distinctly different from the short-term performance motivation or asset-gathering focus of our industry’. As their paper, Discovering phi, Motivation as the hidden variable of performance, defines it, phi is about ‘the motivation forces of: ■■ purpose ■■ habits ■■ incentives that govern (the managers’) behaviours and actions’.4 For the manager who gets these three factors right, the pay-off is significant.
When: ■■ purpose translates into client focus, ■■ habit translates into a culture of meeting client needs, and ■■ incentives translate into rewards that are granted on the basis meeting client requirements, then the potential to change perceptions of excellence are significant. It’s not surprising then that the team termed phi the ‘hidden variable’. As in quantum mechanics, a hidden variable is one that, without it, the system would be incomplete. Phi clearly provides the much-needed missing element for giving meaning to investing. What is it about phi that produces such an improvement in outcomes? The study’s insights draw from: ■■ motivational theory ■■ the in-depth interviews the team conducted with more than 200 global industry leaders ■■ the survey they conducted of 6 938 investors, investment providers, government officials and regulators across 20 countries. Much of the motivational thinking in the study comes from academics. But perhaps it’s best summed up in Daniel Pink’s book on motivation,

Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us. In Pink’s own recap of the arguments, he states: Our current business operating system, which is built around external, carrot-and-stick motivators, doesn’t work and often does harm. We need an upgrade ... [A better] approach has three essential elements: 1. Autonomy. The desire to direct our own lives 2. Mastery. The urge to make progress and get better at something that matters 3. Purpose. The yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves.5 How well do the current business models and incentives in financial services reinforce those essential elements? When asset managers are given substantial bonuses to outperform their peer or specific benchmarks or to simply increase assets under management, these types of extrinsic or externally motivated rewards fail because: ■■ achieving these goals is largely out of the control of an asset manager. As such, they fail in fulfilling our sense of mastery or autonomy ■■ these rewards tend to ignore much of the third element of drive (a purpose that is greater than self-interest) and part of the second element of drive (an urge to get better at something that matters) ■■ they make the individual feel less autonomous ■■ they emphasise the extrinsic rewards at the expense of the intrinsic rewards that are a powerful factor in motivation. Employing extrinsic monetary rewards on these bases may be fine if the task at hand is routine and rule based, but it’s an absolute deterrent for professionals when creativity, self-determination and a commitment that goes beyond a simple nine-to-five obligation is in order.6 The great value of a reward framework that capitalises on intrinsic motivation, or motivations that bolster an individual’s sense of purpose and value, is that it stimulates and sustains investment professionals who see their careers as vocations (higher callings) and not simply jobs. These professionals see themselves as fiduciaries first and not profit drivers for their businesses.

Investment professional imperative: business success or fiduciary? Making this distinction is not simply an exercise in semantics. It gets right to the heart of the trust issues with financial services. Consider how the concept of professional has evolved over the past few decades. Doctors, lawyers, consultants, accountants and, for the sake of this exercise, asset managers were all people who were schooled and skilled in areas where the layperson did not have the time, interest or talent to develop these essential capabilities. Professionals are experts who offer this knowledge on behalf of their clients: they represent their clients’ interests in disputes, act as fiduciaries in financial affairs, or provide them with advice and guidance that best advances their personal health, wealth and mental well-being. Ever so subtly, these professions morphed into serious businesses. What is the distinction here? The following table7 highlights the key differences:

At first it was argued that professional services would benefit all stakeholders by becoming more ‘business-like’. To begin with, being more cost conscious would surely be in the interests of all participants. Focusing on developing greater efficiencies, fewer redundancies and better allocation of time and resources were all considered steps that would enhance the quality of the service delivery while introducing greater cost control.
54
The question worth considering is whether the pendulum shift from a professional imperative to a business imperative may have swung too far. Trust in the financial services industries and confidence in the ‘value-add’ of asset management professionals is being challenged.8 Concerningly, equally poor ratings are being given to lawyers, accountants, consultants and now, increasingly doctors – all very much for the same reasons.9 However, this is beyond the scope of
this Hot Topics seminar. At the heart of this downward perception spiral is a question mark about whose interests are served first in the ‘business’ of these professional services. Charles Ellis, the managing partner of Greenwich Associates, addresses the dynamic of business versus profession in his seminal article, Will business success spoil the investment management profession? The key issues are summarised on the next page.10

SECTION 2
The rhythms of a business and the rhythms of a profession do differ; the appropriate measurement intervals differ: business intervals are short, while professional investment intervals are long. Business managers will know they should cut costs when the stock market goes seriously down and asset-based fees are reduced. Investment professionals, mindful of the longer term imperative to protect the professional capacity to continue producing superior value, would know better than to cut costs that assure that they can deliver good work. Business practitioners will want to sell what clients want to buy. But investment professionals know that few investors will want to buy at cyclical lows, or sell after a big run-up, and that what may seem compelling in the short run can be quite harmful in the long run. So while business professionals focus on not making operational mistakes and maximizing current operating profits – and sell what clients think they want to buy – investment professionals will want to sell what clients will want to own in the future, even when this means recommending currently unpopular things that can prove to be very right for long-term investors.
One can begin to appreciate where the concept of phi is compelling. For consultants, trustees and indeed the State Street Center for Applied Research, measuring phi allows us to determine how aligned the asset manager’s interests and ambitions are with the investor’s. The appeal here is that, while alpha (above-market performance) and beta (market performance) may well be beyond managers’ control, phi, mostly, is in a firm’s control and can be readily cultivated. A high phi score suggests that the manager or investment firm could be well suited as a component of a goals-based solution. For The CFA Institute, promulgating phi provides an even more pressing pay-off: a focus on phi reinvigorates the notion of investing as a profession, a vocation, with a clear code of conduct.

This is clearly why introducing a concept such as phi into our measurement criteria, not just for manager selection, but for all the stakeholders in the delivery continuum (including boards of trustees), is such a powerful concept. It allows us to quietly nudge all stakeholders towards behaviours, values and incentive programmes that have a positive effect on the probability of decent outcomes for the investor.

By contrast, a Newsbrief poll of 679 respondents from The CFA Institute identified client recognition as the most meaningful form of recognition for these managers.12 Clearly, this reflects either a misalignment or a missed opportunity by industry management.
None, the internal satisfaction matters most
It’s probably less about rewards being for controllable outcome and more about penalties being for uncontrollable ones.
PERCENTAGE OF RESPONDENTS
Colleagues at your firm who are senior to you
Perhaps most concerning is that 92% of investment professionals were demotivated in some way. This brings up important questions: ■■ How should we account for this? ■■ Has there been inadequate mentoring around an investment professional’s purpose? ■■ Do rewards not recognise what is and isn’t in professionals’ control?
In reference to risks: ■■ around 50% worry about career risk and, of this group, the majority (52%) believed that 18 months of underperformance could result in their being fired ■■ 36% were concerned that acting in the best interests of clients might pose a career risk.11
Whose recognition is most meaningful to you when you accomplish something in your job?
37%
This lack of client focus owes much to the leadership style prevalent in the industry. Of all responding investment professionals: ■■ only 15% strongly felt their leaders articulated a compelling vision and purpose ■■ only 41% believed their leaders openly articulated values and beliefs to employees.
For example, in reference to rewards: ■■ only 44% considered their compensation structure fair ■■ 40% believed it was transparent ■■ only 34% saw it as controllable.
Clients
When the Center for Applied Research and the CFA team examined the issue of motivation in the investment industry, their findings were not particularly encouraging. While 53% of the respondents indicated that they pursued this career because they were passionate about markets, only 28% were motivated by helping clients achieve their goals.
SECTION 2
Four potential models for an enhanced phi score Perhaps the most important aspect of the Center for Applied Research and CFA Institute study was its assessment of the industry now. How do those phi scores look? Disturbingly, only 16.62% of investment professionals achieved a high phi score. A high phi score meant that not only were their personal values and goals aligned with those of their organisations, but they were also in line with those of their clients. Conversely, 53.5% of those surveyed reflected either low or no phi scores. Although these numbers were based on an assessment of global asset managers and asset owners, South African managers were included.13 What we know about the research behind phi is that there is much that can be done to make its measurement more robust and tangible. Both the Center for Applied Research and The CFA Institute
would acknowledge this. To that end, we need to understand what kinds of investment firms appear to be winning in this space and what characteristics best capture the essence of phi.
Phi distribution sources for investment professionals N=1.486
There are potentially four broad areas that illustrate a focused alignment with client needs and values: 1. Business model of the asset manager, including: • how talent is attracted, developed and compensated • how profits are shared • how costs are conceptualised • transformation. 2. Product design 3. Choice of investments 4. Mandate taker versus mandate giver We look at each of these elements in more details below.

A CLIENT-ALIGNED BUSINESS MODEL
Many organisations will declare a client-focused purpose in their mission statement. Phi helps us identify whether the systems and structures are in place to translate mission into values, into behaviours, into habits and then outcomes.
For some time, there has been mounting evidence that the business model of a financial service company matters, both in deriving the best performance from a management team as well as ensuring the sustainability of that performance. As such, analysing an asset manager’s business model is hardly a new thought. Due diligences on asset managers invariably incorporate some element of business model scrutiny. For example, Mercer, a business partner of Alexander Forbes, applies the following four-factor framework of assessment of their fund managers:

Under this framework, ‘business management’ refers to such considerations as how the business: ■■ effectively manages its people ■■ keeps its talent engaged, focused and not burdened by administrative distractions ■■ stimulates performance and accountability ■■ attracts and retains talent ■■ ensures that there is diversity of thinking and that different voices are heard in the decision-making process. Essentially, we want to get to the heart of the asset manager’s corporate culture.15 Similarly, various studies16, 17 focus our attention on the business models and belief systems of fund managers to assess a manager’s alpha generation potential. But in all three of the above cases, the central pretext for understanding a manager’s corporate culture and business model is in how these two dynamics support or reinforce the investment decision-making process. Phi, as characterised by the Center for Applied Research and The CFA Institute, brings a different dynamic to the table altogether. Through a series of interrogations with asset managers about how they are led, how they are rewarded and most importantly, how well their business models support delivery to specific client needs, the research delves into the motivational heart of the matter. The central thesis is that if these

example. As one of the most successful asset managers in the world, with more than $3.6 trillion under management, Vanguard illustrates that putting clients first is simply good business. Their website says it all:
From a slightly different perspective, Phi also allows us to assess how effectively an asset manager or consultant’s business model manages the natural tension between clients’ and shareholders’ interests. In the words of Ben Carlson:
Unlike any other investment company, we are built to create wealth only for our clients – not for outside owners. That motivates us to keep costs low – currently less than one-fifth the industry average. This helps our fund investors to seek better earnings over time.19
The longer I work in the investment field, the more convinced I’ve become that organisational culture is far more important for lasting success than investment acumen. There are plenty of great investors and investment strategies; there are very few great investment organisations.18 Bottom line, business model probably trumps investment cleverness when it comes to providing sustainable excellence for investors. Which financial services company then would merit a high phi score with regard to business model? Probably Vanguard would represent an excellent
While Vanguard is perhaps the most vociferous proponent of passive investing, their phi score would owe less to their investment philosophy than to their business philosophy. It’s a business model that focuses first on the value that can be returned to clients, and not channelled off to shareholders or into maintaining costly overheads. But there are plenty of active managers who might also warrant attractive phi scores based on their business model. Bridgewater Asset Managers could be a case in point, again, because of its brand of client-centeredness.

SECTION 2
A CLIENT-FOCUSED PRODUCT DESIGN
In October 2012, McKinsey produced a report20 on the state of the asset management industry titled Outcomes are the new alpha. In the introduction, they state: Traditional means to achieve growth – namely beating a benchmark – are no longer proving sufficient and account for just over one-third of the average asset manager’s growth. More critical now is meeting a changing set of client needs, which increasingly means shifting from alpha to outcomes.
But, as McKinsey argues, while there is now a dramatic shift in the global investment industry towards solutionsbased products, it’s already apparent that becoming a winner in this space demands some equally dramatic shifts in the asset manager’s corporate culture. Already a sizeable portion of the industry who purport to offer solutions-based products are failing in achieving client alignment. As McKinsey points out: Few companies in this space have meaningfully reallocated their investment spend and fewer still have begun to retool their business models to meet the shift in client needs.21 The report goes on to identify where companies typically fail and what needs to be done:
■■ Firms often under-invest in understanding client needs and packaging them in a way that resonates with consumers and their advisers. ■■ Incentives for professionals are still based on beating relative-return benchmarks. ■■ There is an urgent need to develop ways to organise and compensate managers in relation to client outcome (for example, income generation, inflation protection and so on), rather than outperforming an asset class or a peer group. ■■ As much attention needs to be given to managing income drawdown requirements, capital protection, and the probability of meeting targeted outcomes as it is given to managing returns.22
What type of company would currently rank high on this score? One example might well be Dimensional Fund Advisers (DFA). DFA has applied a rigorously researched approach to identifying how to create individualised investment solutions that recognise that, in life’s financial journey, everyone, by necessity, needs to solve for their own path. These paths will vary significantly depending on: ■■ where the individual is trying to get to (and with how much certainty) ■■ over what period ■■ given their level of regular (or irregular) contribution ■■ market movements, which, over that journey, will dictate a constant recalibration of how to achieve those goals. From the perspective of product design, DFA managers appear to meet this objective.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
HOW, WHERE AND BY
WHOM THE ASSETS ARE INVESTED In October 2005, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) launched its Principles for Responsible Investment that currently guides our thinking around integrating economic, social and governance (ESG) oversight into our institutional investment process. Interestingly, the CRISA principles for sustainable institutional investing in South Africa are based on these principles. Much of the early thinking for this initiative was based on a study of global fiduciary conventions, produced by the law firm, Freshfields Buckhaus Deringer. Perhaps the most memorable paragraph of this study was embedded in the introduction of the paper:
Are the best interests of savers only to be defined as their financial interest? If so, in respect [of] which horizon? Are not the social and environmental interests of savers also to be taken into account? Indeed, many people wonder what good an extra percent or three of patrimony are worth if the society in which they are to enjoy retirement and in which their descendants will live deteriorates. Quality of life and quality of the environment are worth something, even if not, or particularly because, they are not reducible to financial percentages.
This was the paragraph that challenged the investment industry’s thinking around responsible investing. If asset managers were going to put clients’ needs first, then clients’ money needs to also be advancing these individuals’ social and community needs. One asset manager that embodies this aspect of alignment would be Al Gore’s Generation Asset Management (GAM). GAM looks at long-term sustainable investing as a client partnership. That’s a compelling positioning statement and certainly one that would elevate a phi score. The differentiator here is that this is not just ESG investing to make the world a better place but ESG investing because of what it can mean to the lives of clients.
60
In South Africa, responsible investing implies an additional concern: transformation. From a client-focus perspective, there is an aspect of this ambition that is completely consistent, particularly when it addresses the issues of skills development and wealth distribution in South Africa. The reality is that integrating new asset managers with limited track records is not the risk many trustees perceive. If the mandates are properly defined and the risk budgets clearly thought out, transformation could easily be fast-tracked. This can only be achieved though if trustees, consultants and asset managers give far more attention to measuring and monitoring risk.
SECTION 2
THE MANDATE TAKER VERSUS THE MANDATE GIVER
The concept of phi also introduces some interesting ideological debates for asset managers. One relates to the question whether the better manager is one who is a mandate giver or a mandate taker. For example, for some managers, their mandates are non-negotiable: clients get what they are offered by the manager with no negotiation. But designing goals-based solutions or venturing into new worlds of non-traditional asset classes or strategies often requires an iterative, cooperative effort where a manager tries to tailor what they offer to fit more neatly into an end product that demands a high level of consistency and predictability. The best way forward, then are mandates that are collaborative.
Consultants and clients are often loathe to make these kinds of requests of their managers and yet, some of the best investment outcomes come from such collaborations. In this regard, an asset manager who is prepared to partner would earn a higher phi score than an asset manager that says to clients, “This is who we are. Take it or leave it.” Possibly the best examples of this type of manager are ones who apply quantitative means to respond to very specific risk budgets or style and factor requirements. These types of managers can slot neatly into goals-based solutions. Similarly fixed income mandates that can be specifically tailored against credit,
derivative or infrastructure investment parameters provide further excellent examples of mandates that meet client needs. And along this line of thinking, the liability-driven investment strategy (LDI) and absolute return boutiques are other potential areas for development since they can be employed by clients to solve highly specific funding issues such as defined benefit funds, mining rehabilitation funds and medical aid funds. In this regard, South African managers have been offering these types of services for some time. Over the past ten years, South African examples would be the Satrix team at Sanlam, Old Mutual’s
infrastructure and alternative investment teams, the portable alpha strategy that Investec structured at a multi-manager’s request, and a myriad of other worthy examples. For the most part, these managers and their willingness to experiment with ideas on behalf of clients are the unsung high-phi managers in South Africa. This is one area of expansion in asset management that will hold out some of the most interesting development potential considering our phi focus. Watch this space.
61
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
How relevant is phi to South African investors? We’ve only just begun to formulate meaningful ways to assess phi in the asset management world. No doubt, the criteria could be expanded considerably. But while we’ve presented four compelling aspects of phi that could provide a basis for measurement, in the first three cases, the examples we used are all non-South African entities. That leads us to an important question: should South African investors care about measuring manager phi? The answer is yes. In environments where investors are less sophisticated, and yet require even greater certainty about investment strategies that can deliver on specific funding needs, a focus on phi provides a powerful way for investors to identify which managers or financial service companies have a greater probability of catering to those needs. South Africans are gradually waking up to the power of outcomes-based investing. In that regard, phi is a powerful ally. That said, South Africa still fervently believes in the notion of asset manager as king. Indeed, the spectacular returns that several asset managers have been able to earn for their clients over the last twenty years suggests that that cult-like status may well be deserved. But there is a significant gap between published manager returns and the outcomes that individual investors have earned for themselves in this country. That gap is a function of a few factors: chopping and changing managers, costs, inappropriate expectations, inappropriate marketing and inappropriate advice. In that regard, the concept of phi holds out the potential for creating a whole new mindset around investing and the client-manager collaboration and focus that will be required for all stakeholders to come out ahead. So, how could trustees and management committees get better value for their members from both their investment managers and investment decisions? We believe that measuring phi allows us to shift the industry conversation away from pure performance and towards performance that delivers on members’ specific needs, therefore demonstrating a higher probability of meeting their investment goals. That must be a better outcome. 62

Phi
What do trustees need to do to benefit from this value potential?
Ask more of your asset consultants and multi-managers:
1
Ask how they are assessing asset manager alignment to client needs and outcomes (because it’s time to rethink the basis on which we select managers). ■■ Be clear on business models, manager compensation and rewards, mission statement and leadership. ■■ Understand how mandates between asset manager and fund or solutions provider are formulated.
2
Rethink your investment policy statement. ■■ Be explicit in defining what your investment needs and goals are. ■■ Set out a risk budget that provides the control parameters for meeting those goals. ■■ Define how you will integrate responsible investing and transformation into your investment solution.
3
Align your criteria for assessing success to whether your fund or its members are meeting that goal. ■■ Remove confusing or irrelevant language around why managers would be fired. ■■ Rethink performance fees. Most traditional forms of performance fees do not reward the right behaviours and do not align the interests of fund managers with the needs of clients. ■■ Maintain a constant monitor of where individual members are in their retirement savings journey and what would need to be done to nudge them back on track.
4
Change your messaging to your members. It’s about their personal outcomes and successes and not just the fund’s. Ask yourselves whether you’ve set up the right expectations with these members.
Lest we forget, in the final analysis, it’s all about how we can win with them. It’s all about their financial well-being.

SECTION 3
Multi-Manager Watch™ Survey (Balanced Mandates) Fixed Asset Allocation: Managers included in the below survey typically make use of fixed asset allocations, which means that they balance the asset allocation back to the strategic long-term asset allocation target (from time to time, according to predefined strategies) with no intention to enhance returns from an asset allocation point of view. However, while some of these managers adhere rigidly to these fixed asset allocations, others may allow these allocations to drift slightly within certain margins. Strategic Asset Allocation: Although managers included in the survey may have long-term strategic asset allocation targets, they actively manage the asset allocation in an attempt to enhance returns. The different categories above (Low Volatility, Best Investment View and Dynamic) represent the different risk profiles of the funds. The Low Volatility category represents the manager’s most conservatively managed portfolio while the Dynamic category represents the manager’s most aggressively managed portfolio, according to the manager’s discretion.

Multi-Manager Watch™ Survey (Balanced Mandates)
117
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Multi-Manager Watch™ Survey Risk (Balanced Mandates) Fixed Asset Allocation: Managers included in the below survey typically make use of fixed asset allocations, which mean that they balance the asset allocation back to the strategic long-term asset allocation target (from time to time, according to predefined strategies) with no intention to enhance returns from an asset allocation point of view. However, while some of these managers adhere rigidly to these fixed asset allocations, others may allow these allocations to drift slightly within certain margins. Strategic Asset Allocation: Although managers included in the above survey may have long-term strategic asset allocation targets, they actively manage the asset allocation in an attempt to enhance returns. The different categories above (Low Volatility, Best Investment View and Dynamic) represent the different risk profiles of the funds. The Low Volatility category represents the manager’s most conservatively managed portfolio while the Dynamic category represents the manager’s most aggressively managed portfolio, according to the manager’s discretion.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
LDI Manager Watch™ Survey How to interpret and use this survey LDI is a complex area of investment. Alexander Forbes strongly recommends that investors obtain professional assistance in determining whether a specific LDI strategy or LDI manager is appropriate for them. The guide below is not sufficiently comprehensive to enable most investors to reliably choose an LDI manager without further assistance. The guide will help investors appreciate the drivers of differential performance between managers and strategies at specific times in the market.
General The LDI survey reports on the outperformance LDI asset managers deliver relative to a liability based benchmarks. The survey provides simple numerical measures that encapsulate the risk these managers have exposed clients to as well as the outperformance they have acheived. The survey reports on the performance of ‘composites’, or groups of portfolios with similar characteristics. Most LDI hedging techniques are based on algorithmic solutions (or rules based mathematical techniques), suggesting that ineffective hedging techniques will very rapidly show up in this survey. The skillset of managers offering low risk solutions, tracking liabilities closely with tight mandate restrictions will generally show up over even short periods such as one year. However, it is always preferable to evaluate these managers over a longer period if this is available. The period used for analysis should include at least one large shift in yield curves. More than one large shift in yields has occurred during the last twelve months, the short history available in this survey is hence adequate for judging manager’s ability to create effective hedges. In addition to focusing on tracking liabilities, some managers target outperformance of liabilities by investing in riskier asset classes such as credit (and potentially view taking on the markets). An evaluation of the approach

used and the skills of each manager is required to access how likely these managers are to deliver alpha in the future. The past performance of these managers can be used as part of this evaluation. Longer periods will be required to accurately form a view of how good the manager is at choosing and managing credit. The exact length will depend on the strategy used, but may require five years or longer. Many LDI managers don’t have a track record this long. It is useful in such cases to look at the manager’s performance in ordinary credit portfolios.
long performance period to smooth over interest, credit and inflation cycles if they are primarily concerned with the longer term performance of their liability hedging activities. For example, certain investors may require close tracking on a monthly basis, while others may be more concerned with longer term value add. Investors should therefore give adequate attention to manager performance over periods that match their own reporting, risk evaluation and risk tolerance frequency. Consideration should be given to all the stakeholders associated with the liability in reaching this decision.
Investors also need to consider the time frame over which they measure risk when choosing a manager and more importantly, in setting their mandates, mandate restrictions and portfolio targets. For example, listed companies may need to manage pension fund or other sinking fund risks over a very short period to match their reporting requirements. Pension funds that are valued once every three years, with a larger risk appetite and a desire to target growth could use a longer evaluation period such as three years.
Specific measures
Liability convexity and duration are technical measures of certain liability characteristics. In general, the larger these quantities are, the more difficult it is to create an effective hedge. These measures can hence be seen as one of the constraining factors governing managers’ efficacy in hedging and adding outperformance. Performance is therefore not necessarily comparable between managers with vastly different liability durations and convexities. A typical defined benefit pensioner liability increasing with full inflation annually has a duration of between nine and twelve years at current yields.
Liability outperformance shows how much value, in excess of the growth in liabilities, the manager was able to add for their client. All else being equal, a larger outperformance is preferable. Investors should consider a sufficiently

expect the long-term outperformance of liabilities to be. This figure may also reflect mandate constraints regarding the inclusion of credit. The “% unlisted exposure” shows the proportion of the portfolio which is invested in unlisted instruments. Unlisted instruments may (but are not necessarily) subject to poor valuations or infrequent valuations by the manager. Many unlisted instruments such as swaps may be valued independently by a counterparty bank, partially mitigating this risk.
manager R50 and invests R50 into the equity market would have a proportion of 50%. All else being equal, the larger this portion is, the easier it is to hedge a liability. This is hence an additional constraining factor on managers. Portfolios in the survey have been grouped into bands expected to offer similar hedging efficacy.
A brief description of the benchmark used is given for each composite. Only similar composites should be compared directly. For example, swap based and bond based benchmarks are not directly comparable.
The minimum funding level shows the lowest funding level that would have applied over various time periods, assuming the investor’s liabilities and assets were equal at the start of the period. Assuming all else is equal, larger minimum funding levels are preferable. A minimum funding level is an important risk measure in evaluating how well a manager can manage downside risk relative to the investor’s liability.
Portfolio as a percentage of liability shows the size of the assets managed by the manager relative to the size of the liability the manager is mandated to hedge. For example, a pension fund with a R100 liability that gives their LDI
Tracking error shows the dispersion of portfolio returns relative to the investor’s liability. All else being equal, a lower tracking error is preferable. Unfortunately tracking error captures outperformance (desirable) as well as underperformance
(undesirable). Where close liability tracking is not essential, the minimum funding level is a superior measure of risk. For example, a manager providing a high degree of outperformance and high minimum funding levels may be a suitable choice even if this manager has a high tracking error. The risk adjusted outperformance shows the extent to which managers outperform liabilities, adjusted for the tracking error or risk they have introduced. All else equal, a larger risk adjusted return is preferable. The risk adjusted return may, however, be an inappropriate measure for certain investors with specific liability objectives. For example, some risk tolerant investors wish to maximise long-term outperformance of liabilities. Such investors should focus on outperformance of liabilities in choosing a manager. Other risk averse investors may wish to track their liabilities as closely as possible. Such investors should focus on choosing a manager based on tracking error.

SECTION 3
LDI Manager Watch™ Survey General market commentary
Inflation-linked bond section
Nominal and real bond yields weakened across the quarter with significant volatility in the nominal curve. Both curves showed some reshaping as well, which can affect manager performance.
The real yield curve increased across the quarter. Short dated yields increased more than longer dated yields, resulting in flat yield curve by the end of the period. This yield curve offers no additional term premium for holding long dated bonds. The lack of gradient on the real curve (particularly relative to the nominal curve) may point to a market dominated by investors with long term hedging needs.
South Africa avoided downgrade to junk status from any of the major ratings agencies during the quarter, though a risk of downgrade during 2017 remains. Political uncertainty remained a major theme both locally and internationally. Trump won the US election, promising material changes in US foreign and trade policies. Locally charges against the Finance Minister were dropped, though political news flows remained tense. Inflation (6.8%) was also well above the target window (3-6%) at the end of December. Across the quarter the vast majority of local composites in all survey categories outperformed benchmark liabilities. The remainder were near flat. All else equal, benchmark liabilities and bond values decrease when yields increase. Given that both the nominal and real yield curve rose across the quarter, it is possible that the industry was marginally under-hedged, with a view that rising yields were more likely than falling yields. If this is the case, the extent of under-hedging was marginal, as the size of the outperformance was not very large on average. Given the de-risking objective of LDI portfolios, managers would typically only take small views on interest rate changes.
Larger increases in short dated yields can impact the performance of partially funded LDI mandates; i.e. mandates where the manager may take less hedging exposure than the value of the liability they are benchmarked against. Such managers may choose to hold bonds with a longer duration than their liability benchmark to increase the sensitivity of the assets to shifts in yields. In months where short dated yields increase significantly, their benchmark liabilities may decrease in value more than the assets they manage. It is interesting to note that Colourfield Composite 3, which invests 25% or less of benchmark liability value outperformed by 2.11% during the quarter. The flattening of the yield curve may in part have contributed to this. The increase in the level and changes in the shape of the curve can result in over or under performance for portfolios with specific rates views – i.e. where liabilities are not fully or perfectly hedged. It is unsurprising to see some volatility in results during the last month, in line with the extent of curve movement.
Stanlib Composite 1 and Composite 3 were the conventional (full liability value exposure allowed) composites that achieved the highest and lowest risk adjusted outperformance for 2016 respectively. Across a longer 3 year period, Colourfield Composite 1 has achieved the highest risk adjusted outperformance.
Nominal bond section The nominal curve was volatile during the quarter, reshaping and shifting significantly. This environment can be testing for LDI managers. There are only three participants in the nominal survey. One of these is short dated (Investec) and one is Namibian, further limiting meaningful comparison and inference. Although the nominal curve shifted up materially across the quarter (more than 0.25% p.a. for most input instruments), the ALBI return for the quarter was marginally positive. The accrual of interest across the quarter was large enough to offset the losses due to the increases in yields.
Nominal and inflation-linked section Colourfield Composite 4 ended the quarter marginally positive, outperforming liabilities by 15 basis points (0.15%). Due to the technical nature of this composite (partially funded relative to benchmark liabilities and mixed nominal and inflation-linked exposure) it is important to look at a longer history. Across a 3 year period the mandate has delivered outperformance of +0.74% p.a. 127

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Fee Analysis Investment management fees Investment management fees are intended to compensate investment managers for their time and skill to manage the assets of a fund, and are usually in the form of a percentage of the assets managed.
The main types of investment fees are annual base fees, with some funds charging an additional performance fee. Fees can be quoted on a fixed basis or a sliding scale. A fixed fee is a constant % fee charged irrespective of the value of the assets being managed. A sliding scale fee is a structure where the % fee charged reduces as the value of assets managed increases. The performance fee is generally charged when the manager outperforms its specified benchmark. The manager therefore earns a percentage of the investment profits (often both realised and unrealised). In simple terms we can define performance fees as the manager’s share of the fund’s profits but not in their losses.
Alexander Forbes Fee Study The purpose of the Alexander Forbes Fee Survey is to create transparency and visibility of fees charged by the investment industry for institutional pension fund mandates. The main benefit is to provide trustees, asset consultants, and advisors with a framework to benchmark the fees that
they are being charged. The fee survey utilised data over a five year time period (i.e. 2012 to 2016) to show fee trends if any in the industry. Data was obtained through liaising and collecting data from asset managers and the validity thereof was checked. The Survey was conducted as at November 2016 across nine popular pension fund mandates:
Multi Asset Class Mandates
Single Asset (Specialist) Mandates
Global Mandate, BIV*, Segregated Portfolio
Domestic Equity Mandate
Domestic Mandate, BIV*, Segregated Portfolio
Domestic Fixed Income Mandate
Global Mandate, BIV*, Pooled Portfolio
Domestic Money Market Mandate
Domestic Mandate, BIV*, Pooled Portfolio Global Absolute Mandate Domestic Absolute Mandate
The managers were asked to break down their fee structure into a standardised sliding scale framework using distinct Asset under Management bands: R0-50 million R51-100 million R101-150 million R151-250 million R251-500 million R500 + million Where relevant the fee charged for international assets was collected. * Best Investment View Balanced Portfolios.

Limitations of study: 1. The universe was restricted to asset managers that participate in the Alexander Forbes Surveys. 2. Participation in the survey was voluntary, and therefore selection may be biased 3. The standardisation of fees in AuM categories may not reflect an individual manager’s fee scale. Participation in the 2016 survey has increased from 22 to 25 participants. Three new participants joined the 2016 survey. This increased participation in the following Mandates: ■■ Domestic Absolute Mandate ■■ Domestic Equity Mandate ■■ Domestic Mandate, BIV, Pooled Portfolio ■■ Domestic Mandate, BIV, Segregated Portfolio
SECTION 4
Analysis of Asset Management Fees Fees have decreased across all surveys compared to 2015 except for Domestic Equity mandates which have increased on average by 8.7% across all assets under management (AUM) bands. We note an upward trend in Domestic Equity fees since 2014, at a peak of 73bps in 2016 compared to the previous high of 63bps in 2013. Domestic Absolute mandates experienced the largest decrease in fees, a drop of 8.3% on average across all AUM bands. Despite the increase in Domestic Equity fees, Domestic BIV Segregated remains the most expensive domestic category ranging from 66 to 77bps. Domestic Money Market remains the cheapest mandate across all categories ranging from 15 to 23bps.
Domestic BIV Segregated mandates continue to be more expensive than the Global BIV Segregated mandates. This implies that global mandates manage domestic assets cheaper than domestic mandates alone. In 2016, the range was 3-5bps across the scale and reflects a narrowing compared to the 2015 range of 6-8bps across the scale. Fees on mandates that include global assets, increased significantly across all survey categories. Global Absolute mandates experienced the biggest increase of almost 17% compared to 2015. There were however only four participating funds in 2015, but fees increased by 12.8% compared to 2014, hence the upward trend has continued. It is also the most expensive category with fees ranging between 72 and 79bps.
Fees on Global BIV Pooled mandates increased by 2.6% on average (0-3bps across the various AUM bands) since 2015, whereas fees on Global BIV Segregated mandates increased by 4.2% on average (2-4bps across the various AUM bands). Governance costs are much higher for segregated mandates than for pooled assets. As a result the fees on segregated assets, which previously experienced a decline, have increased substantially when compared to pooled products. Participation across these mandated varied. Domestic Equity Mandate offered the highest participation with 19 managers out of 26 covering 52 domestic equity funds from the performance surveys.
Global Balanced Segregated Mandate Fees on the Global Balanced Segregated mandates on average increased up by 4.2% with a range of 10bps across the AUM categories.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Investment Survey Glossary Absolute Return Investment Strategy
Balanced Fund Strategy
An actively managed investment objective that seeks consistent, positive returns regardless of whether markets are rising or falling, and without reference to a benchmark index for comparison. While not all absolute return strategies are alike, typically, the goal is to produce returns in excess of the inflation rate and/or cash that can be measured by the consumer price index (CPI) while protecting against capital losses.
An actively managed investment framework where the asset allocation, strategies employed and risk assumed to achieve the specified investment objective is delegated to the investment manager.
Active Fund Management An investment approach that relies on the belief that it is possible to outperform the market. Typically an actively managed fund would select asset classes and investment securities that are expected to perform better than the market or benchmark.
Active Return The difference in returns between a fund and its benchmark at each point in time.
ALBI (All Bond Index) A popular index used to benchmark performance for South African fixed income (bond) portfolios. This index represents a weighted basket of the top 20 South African bonds ranked dually by market capitalisation and liquidity.
ALSI (FTSE JSE All Share Index) A popular index used to benchmark performance for South African equity portfolios. This index represents a weighted basket of 99% of the full market capitalisation of all eligible companies listed on the main board of the JSE subject to free float and liquidity criteria. The index can be divided by size into the Top 40, Mid Cap and Small Cap Indices.
Annualised Return To convert an investment return over a period other than one year into an equivalent one-year rate of return for comparative purposes. Annualising returns for periods shorter than a year is not recommended.
Asset Class Categories of investments that behave similarly and are subject to similar market forces. Major asset classes include equities (shares), fixed income (bonds and cash), commodities and property.
AUM (Assets Under Management) The market value of assets held by an investment manager on behalf of clients.
144
Basis Point One hundredth of 1%, e.g. 100 basis points = 1% (one basis point is 1/100th of 1%).
Benchmark An independently constructed reference (usually a publicly available index) that sets an objective rate of return (the neutral position) that should be used to test the effective implementation of an investment strategy. A good benchmark will also be representative of the asset class or mandate and is investable itself.
Bonds Debt issued by a government or a company, typically promising regular payments of coupons (interest) on specified dates with a final capital payment on the maturity date. It can be viewed as a loan given to bond issuers by bond holders.
BSAGI (Barclays SA Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index) A popular index used to benchmark performance for local inflation linked bonds. This index represents a weighted basket of SA government issued inflation linked bonds calculated by Barclays Capital.
Cash A major category of asset class, which is commonly used to represent short-term deposits, NCDs and other negotiable instruments (usually held in a bank) that can be readily exchanged into coins and banknotes. This is usually considered the risk-free asset.
Composite A group of similarly managed portfolios within a single investment manager and typically defined within the investment managers’ Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS™) policy.
Composite Dispersion The extent to which the returns of all portfolios within a composite differ. It can be measured in different ways, including: the difference between the maximum and the minimum return (range), the difference between the first and third quartile (inter-quartile range), the standard deviation of returns, or mean absolute deviation.
SECTION 5
Compound Rate Of Return
Equities
A compound rate of return that expresses the relationship between the initial investment and the returns earned on that investment, incorporating future returns which are earned on past returns. For most investors, this is the most accurate way to calculate their returns as most investors will leave their returns in an investment.
A major category of asset class, which is a commonly used name for ordinary shares, representing ownership in a company. The owner of the share (shareholder) will generally be able to vote on company issues; and will be entitled to dividends declared.
Convertible preference share A preference share that includes an option that allows the investor to convert the preference share into a fixed number of ordinary shares.
Coupon Rate A bond’s coupon rate is the rate used to calculate the periodic interest payments paid by the issuer of a bond to its owner at the time of payment. It is set when the bond is issued and is usually related to the nominal value of the bond at the time of issuance.
CPI (Consumer Price Index) CPI is an estimate of the inflation rate measuring the price of goods and services in the economy.
Credit A type of bond issued by a non-governmental entity. These bonds typically carry a higher risk than government guaranteed bonds, such as bonds issued by companies.
Credit Risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a bond issuer will default on any type of debt by failing to make required payments, in other words probability that the bond issuer will make debt payments late. Cumulative Returns The cumulative return for a portfolio or an asset is the cumulative compound return over the full length of a specified time period. The percentage measure of this return is not annualised and as such represents the actual total return of the portfolio or asset over the period. By annualising the percentage figure, one can calculate the average annual return of the portfolio or asset over the period.
Duration Duration is a measure of interest rate risk for a bond or portfolio of bonds. It measures the sensitivity of the value of a bond – or collection of bonds – to a change in interest rates.
Effective Interest Rate The effective rate converts the compounding rate of return into a simple rate of return. This means that the effective rate of return can simply be multiplied by the investment period to calculate the cumulative rate of return.
Fixed Income A major category of asset class that includes cash, nominal bonds, inflation linked bonds and credit instruments.
GBI (Goals-based Investing) Goals-based investing are investment strategies that maximise the probability of meeting your financial objectives. Unlike traditional investing it is not only about maximising risk and return.
GIPS™ The Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) is a set of standardised, industry-wide ethical principles that guide investment firms on how to calculate and present their investment results to prospective clients.
Hedge Funds These are usually absolute return investment strategies that use alternative investment techniques (such as short positions, leverage and so on). The funds can be used in a Regulation 28 strategy but are not compliant as stand-alone products.
Inflation The increase in the general price level in the economy. The inflation rate is calculated by defining a basket of goods and services that a typical consumer would consume and calculating a weighted average of the prices of those goods to arrive at a single percentage number, such as CPI.
ILBs (Inflation-Linked Bonds) An inflation-linked bond is a type of bond where the final capital payment is adjusted by the inflation rate for the term of the bond.
Information Ratio A risk-adjusted measure of return calculated by dividing the active return of a fund by the tracking error of the fund.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Investment Philosophy
Market Capitalisation
A framework of principles and way of thinking about markets that underlies the beliefs and approach of an investment manager. It drives which asset classes and investment securities to include in the investment portfolio. It can be used to describe the style of a manager.
The value of a company’s issued share capital, in other words share price multiplied by number of shares on the stock exchange.
JSE (Johannesburg Securities Exchange) Currently the only South African Exchange which offers a centralised trading platform to capital markets across a diverse set of investment securities, in particular, equities, bonds and derivatives.
Long Position It is a positive holding in a portfolio that results from buying investments in the portfolio. This is done when the manager believes that the value of this investment security will increase in the future and they will be able to sell it for a higher price and create a profit. This is directly opposite to a short position.
Leverage It is a holding in a portfolio that results from using complex alternative trading techniques that allows the manager to buy investment securities with money borrowed or by using collateral as a means of payment.
Lower Quartile A statistical measure representing the bottom 25% of observations in a ranked set of data.
Maximum Drawdown A risk of loss measure that is calculated as the maximum loss incurred by an investment over a stated time horizon.
146
Mean Absolute Deviation A measure of dispersion calculated as the average of the absolute differences between each value and the mean in a data set.
Median A statistical measure representing the midpoint value in a ranked set of data.
Modified Duration Modified duration is a type of duration measure which measures the approximate sensitivity of the value of a bond – or collection of bonds – to a change in interest rates, assuming the cash flows remain unchanged. As such, it is only appropriate for bonds with no embedded options.
Money Market Market for short-term loans and deposits with a maturity less than one year.
Money Weighted Return Measures internal rate of return, to identify when cash flows are entering or exiting an investment by discounting cash flows to the beginning value.
Overweight Exposure to a specific investment security or asset class in a portfolio, which is higher than the proportion it represents in the market index or benchmark it is being compared to.
SECTION 5
Peer Group
Risk budgeting
Usually refers to a set of similarly managed investment mandates.
The process of measuring, allocating and controlling risk of the individual components (Asset classes, individual funds, strategies, and even instrument types) in the context of maintaining an overall risk limit for the aggregate investment portfolio.
Passive Investing An implementation approach of a specialist fund strategy where the need to outperform the benchmark is not required in order to meet the investment objective. The specialist investment strategy is invested in passive funds. Not to be confused with passive fund management.
Passive Fund Management An investment approach that seeks to replicate the performance and risk of an investable benchmark/index. Typically the investment portfolio will mirror the holdings of a market index. Passive managers believe that this is a more efficient and costeffective way of accessing the risk and return profile of an asset class or investment style.
Pooled Portfolio Funds from many individual investors that are aggregated for the purposes of investment, as in the case of a retirement fund. Investors in pooled fund investments benefit from economies of scale, which allow for lower trading costs, diversification and professional fees. Pooled funds are generally backed by a policy of insurance.
Quarterly Usually refers to 3-month periods ending 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December.
Range A statistical measure representing the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a ranked set of data.
Real Return Portfolios An alternative name for a portfolio using an absolute return investment strategy.
Regulation 28 Investment limits set by the Pensions Fund Act on retirement funds to protect against imprudent investment decisions.
Return Percentage increase in the value of an investment over a period of time, expressed as a percentage of the value of the investment at the start of the period. All returns in this survey are calculated as time weighted rates of return.
Risk
Risk Premium The return differential between the risk-free asset (cash) and a risky asset.
Rolling Return A time series of a rate of return with the same time horizon for a portfolio, asset class or investment security. It represents a realistic way of reporting returns, which takes into account different market and economic environments.
Scatter Plot A diagram illustrating the relationship between two sets of quantities using dots that can be used to generate a line of best fit.
Sector All instruments within a particular area of activity or industry for an asset class. The JSE defines sectors as Financials, Basic Materials, Oil and Gas Producers, Industrials, Consumer Goods, Healthcare, Consumer Services, Telecommunications and Technology. The Bond sectors are Government, Parastatals, State Owned Enterprises, Corporates and Other.
Simple Rate of Return A simple rate of return that expresses the relationship between the initial investment and the rate at which returns are earned on that investment, ignoring any ability for further returns to be earned on past returns. This is only an accurate reflection of the investorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return when all returns are paid out from the portfolio when they are earned.
Segregated Portfolio Segregated portfolios are not pooled with those of other investors and so the performance and expenses of an investment account are not affected by the activities of any other investors in the portfolio.
Sharpe Ratio Risk adjusted return ratio of return per unit of risk. It is calculated as excess return (over the risk-free return) divided by volatility.
Risk is a very generic term used to calculate either variation in returns or as a measure of losses. Volatility is usually used as a proxy for risk that measures variation. Maximum drawdown is usually used as a proxy of risk that measures loss.
147
MANAGER WATCHâ&#x201E;˘ SURVEY
Short Position
Time-Weighted Rate of Return
It is a negative holding in a portfolio that results from using complex alternative trading techniques that allows the sale of an investment security that is not owned. This is done when the manager believes that the value of this investment security will decrease in the future and they will be able to buy it back later for a lower price and create a profit. This is directly opposite to a long position.
The compound rate of return over a stated evaluation period of one unit of money initially invested in the portfolio or strategy.
Sortino Ratio (Capital Loss or Inflation) A risk adjusted return measure similar to the Sharpe Ratio. The Sortino Ratio measures risk as the volatility of the returns below a certain target (0% in the case of capital loss and inflation in the case of inflation).
Specialist Fund Strategy An investment approach where the asset allocation, investment strategies employed and risk assumed to achieve the specified investment objectives are explicitly defined and not delegated to the investment manager. A specialist investment strategy may be implemented actively or passively.
Specialist Mandate A mandate given to an investment manager to manage specific asset classes (equities, bonds, and so on) or investment strategies (hedge funds, impact investing, and so on) as part of a specialist fund strategy.
STeFI (Short Term Fixed Interest Index) A popular index used to benchmark performance for South African cash portfolios. This index represents a weighted basket of money market instruments of different investment maturities such as NCDs and call deposits.
SAA (Strategic Asset Allocation) An investment technique that sets the medium- to longterm allocation to asset classes which will primarily meet the investment objectives within a defined level of risk. Used primarily in specialist fund strategies.
SWIX (FTSE JSE Shareholder Weighted Index) A popular index used to benchmark performance for South African equity portfolios. This index represents a shareholder weighted basket of companies listed on the main board of the JSE with all constituents down weighted by applying an alternative free float known as the SWIX free float.
TAA (Tactical Asset Allocation) An investment technique that periodically adjusts the SAA to take advantage of opportunities in the market to enhance returns in the short term and maximise risk adjusted returns.
Term To Maturity The time remaining on the life of a bond, in other words time remaining for the bond to be fully repaid. 148
Time Horizon The time period relating to the rate of return measurement calculation. It can also refer to the time set to meet a certain investment objective or goal.
Top 40 (FTSE/JSE Top 40 Index) A popular index used to benchmark performance for South African large equity portfolios. This index represents a weighted basket of the forty largest companies which are constituents of the FTSE/JSE All Share Index, ranked by full market capitalisation. Interestingly the number of constituents can exceed 40, as some companies issue multiple share types (e.g. Investec, Mondi).
Tracking Error Measure of variability of returns relative to benchmark or index. It is usually expressed as an annualised standard deviation of active returns.
Underweight Exposure to a specific investment security or asset class in a portfolio which is lower than the proportion it represents in the market index or benchmark it is being compared to.
Upper Quartile The top 25% of observations in a ranked set of data.
Volatility Is a proxy for risk and is calculated as the annualised standard deviation of monthly returns.
Yield Return on a security usually expressed in percentage terms.
Yield Curve The relationship between time to maturity and yield to maturity of bonds.
Yield To Maturity An estimate of the rate of return that would be earned on a bond if the bond is held to its maturity date. It assumes that interest earned is reinvested in the bond.

Investment philosophy 27four focuses on building well-diversified portfolios that are linked to a broad spectrum of investor goals and appetites for risk. They believe that asset allocation is the primary determinant of variation in portfolio return and is the cornerstone of portfolio construction. Their skilled investment team is experienced in the application of quantitative techniques to identify the sources of asset class returns across different market cycles to derive their long-term asset allocation views. They invest in a combination of large, well-known managers and smaller untapped “boutiques” who they believe possess a distinct performance advantage as they are more nimble and opportunistic, especially in asset classes where the ability to take calculated risks and move swiftly is vital to success. Core to their investment philosophy is risk mitigation. Rigorous risk management and monitoring is applied at every level of their investment process and equal importance is given 152
to business, compliance, operational and administrative risks as is applied to investment performance risk.

Investment philosophy Philosophy and style AFC employs a multi-disciplinary approach to asset management, involving fundamental as well as behavioural (technical) forms of analysis. AFC believes that in excess of 90% of performance is derived from correct asset allocation and industry selection, so the majority of analysis time is spent on understanding the macro environment. The investment style is thematic, with stock selection reflecting those themes believed to be impacting the investment environment at any point in time. As thematic investing relies on understanding the changes within economies, its implementation will result in portfolio structures that are not carbon-copies of market indices. A by-product of the thematic and behavioural approach is that views will sometimes be taken against market consensus, but resulting in superior performance at lower than average risk.

Investment philosophy Allan Gray’s investment philosophy is valuation orientated which means that their research effort is focused on identifying good quality assets that are priced below intrinsic value. Intrinsic value is calculated using a number of methodologies but is usually defined as the discounted value of expected future cash flows. They typically buy shares when research and analysis indicates that the intrinsic value of the company far exceeds its market price, in anticipation of the price rising to its intrinsic value. This is in contrast to the “momentum” approach where a manager identifies an upward trend and follows this by purchasing stock in the belief that the trend will continue.

Investment philosophy A core belief of Ashburton Investments is to provide investors with access to more sources of return in order to more efficiently achieve their investment objectives. As such, they have multiple investment capabilities within their business that span both traditional and alternative strategies. For one of their core investment capabilities, the Multi-asset strategy, Ashburton’s investment philosophy is encapsulated below: ■■ It is their belief that asset allocation delivers the bulk of a multi-asset portfolio return. They therefore follow a top-down approach as a first step in the investment process; ■■ They focus on determining the key investment drivers across asset classes (themes). Thus there is a theme driven bias to portfolio construction. A theme is an area of investment that will deliver superior or inferior market returns. The portfolio weightings are adjusted based upon the thematic overlay to the portfolio; ■■ Within the equity asset class they are style agnostic. It is their contention that value, growth and momentum styles of investment vary through the business cycle. Ashburton is biased towards thematic drivers, more so than specific investment styles;
■■ Within equity selection, they focus on growth at a reasonable value as they believe that the price paid and earnings growth over time translate into equity returns; ■■ Investment decisions are taken with a three- to five-year investment horizon. The philosophy is to identify the best businesses and management in particular sectors and hold these investments. Short-term share price movements can trigger buy or sell decisions; ■■ Ashburton is benchmark aware but not benchmark driven. In this manner multi-asset portfolios are managed to generate alpha; ■■ A caveat to the investment philosophy is that within equities they are high-conviction investors. This is achieved through investing in concentrated portfolios of between 18 and 30 shares; ■■ It is their thesis that primary returns are obtained through asset allocation, then sector selection and lastly stock selection.

Investment philosophy Blue Ink’s investment philosophy is to protect capital when markets are penalised and grow it when markets are rewarded, with little excuse for the directional trends in the market. We believe the following: ■■ We are ultimately undergoing a talent search. There exists a niche group of investment talent that have individually proven to be successful in wealth creation through non-habitual investment approaches. Our core skill is to identify this talent and extract it for the benefit of a client’s investment purpose. We look for managers who are flexible enough to look for new opportunities within their investment style and be prepared to aggressively adjust their gross and net exposure when required. ■■ To calibrate for risk is to calibrate for opportunities. It is our belief that when combining different strategies, there are risks one cannot control and those that we can successfully manage. The latter is at the core of Blue Ink’s investment philosophy. ■■ The degrees of freedom are essential. The ability to deliver investment returns agnostic to markets conditions, requires a significant increase in the investment toolkit.

Investment philosophy Cadiz Asset Management are value investors. Value investing has a proven history of generating better returns than the market over the long term, but also has implicit downside protection characteristcs. Their approach is based on the belief that markets are inefficient in the short term. Within a normal business cycle, asset prices can be substantially different from their long-run true business or intrinsic value. These differences between asset prices and asset values are caused by the collective behaviour of investors acting out of fear or greed. Investors tend to over extend recent asset price trends upwards (in greed) or downwards (in fear). Cadiz strives to remain rational, dispassionate and exploit the opportunities that investor behaviour creates, thereby generating superior returns for their clients. In order to identify the mispriced opportunities, they follow a sound, systematic and disciplined bottom-up fundamental approach. This means they do not perform any forecasting in their investment process but rather price an asset by studying its long-term performance and risk compensation metrics and by normalising these trends. As a discipline, they only become interested in buying an asset once they are convinced that they will be generously compensated for the risk they propose to take. 166
In this way, they aim to generate superior returns for their clients with the least amount of risk.

Investment philosophy The price you pay for an investment is the primary determinant of your investment return. Deep value fundamental stock picker using a rules driven framework for stock selection and fund construction. Cannon Asset Managers seeks cheap, high quality stocks that also have higher relative forecast returns than the market. As explained, they identify and buy stocks that, on balance, represent deep value. These factors include lower priceearnings ratios than the market, higher dividend yields than the market, lower price-to-book ratios than the market, lower price-to-sales ratios than the market, and attractive CAPE ratios, that give through-the-cycle insights. Cannon have demonstrated that portfolios with these attributes will outperform over time. They further enhance their certainty of alpha by not just owning stocks with the above attributes, but by ensuring that they (relative to their peers) also are of higher quality with:
■■ lower exogenous risk (legal, governance and macro); and ■■ lower financial risk (profitability, financial performance and operating efficiency). ■■ preferably have positive momentum; and ■■ have higher three-year earnings expectations than the market as a whole and their sector peers. Hence, Cannon portfolios are characterised by three attributes, namely evidence of value, robust financial quality and an earnings expectation that is better than the broader market.

Investment philosophy We invest in a consistently disciplined and focused manner, based on an unwavering investment philosophy of striving to buy into high quality businesses at prices that are low compared to their long term investment valuations. We construct concentrated, but welldiversified portfolios, normally holding ±35 shares. We manage portfolios with high conviction and choose shares in an unconstrained manner, giving clients the benefit of our proven stock-picking ability. Benchmarks are less relevant in the portfolio construction process as share weightings are determined based on our understanding of volatility, share liquidity and market leadership. We aim to identify companies that have sustainable competitive advantages within their industries, which should enable them to consistently earn returns on capital above their cost of capital. We also strive to identify mispriced companies through our disciplined, focused and opportunistic proprietary research and analysis. Our limited asset base is an advantage that enables us to invest across the broader SA stock market and we aim to deliver long term relative outperformance supported by superior risk/return characteristics. 172

When was the company established? January 2007 List of mergers that have taken place since being established: Richard Hasson and Neil Brown have known each other since 1997 and started working together and jointly managing funds in 2005, as employees of Old Mutual Investment Group (OMIG). In January 2007, Richard and Neil formally started Electus, as a two person fund management boutique within OMIG. Electus was easily the most successful of Electus’ equity boutiques, winning >15 funds since its inception. Although Electus had been very successful, both in terms of Client fund performance, asset growth and profitability, in January 2015, OMIG decided to consolidate its offering and close the Electus boutique. Richard and Neil decided to continue the Electus business and seamlessly transition its clients into a 100% independent Electus business.

Investment philosophy Element Investment Managers believe that a disciplined long-term contrarian approach is the most reliable way to achieve superior absolute returns for investors over the long term. They are index agnostic as their aim is to research companies and assets and buy them when their current prices are below their long-term intrinsic values and have the discipline to hold them until these intrinsic values are realised. As a result of their long-term contrarian philosophy, it is likely that their portfolios will at times be materially different from other market participants or indices against which they are measured.

Investment philosophy First Avenue focuses purely in long only equities as a specialist manager. Within equities, their research shows that investing in high quality companies generates superior outcomes compared to any other strategy. This is because high quality companies are able to produce persistently high and stable profits independent of market conditions by controlling ‘fundamental risk’. As the returns earned by equity holders are ultimately driven by corporate profits, this results in superior stock returns with lower ‘price risk’ or volatility. Modern corporate finance theory would expect investors to receive higher rates of return on investment for bearing greater risk. With this view of the world, high quality companies appear to be an anomaly delivering higher returns with lower risk. High quality companies possess sustainable competitive advantages that allow them to dominate the profit pool of an industry and earn returns above their cost of capital for extended periods. These advantages or economic moats enable a company to remain resilient throughout the entire economic cycle by leveraging unique attributes such as superior pricing power or cost control. 176
Their research shows that this universe of companies has a high propensity to outperform the market and also offers greater downside protection during periods of distress. By restricting their universe to high quality companies only, their portfolio is inherently of lower fundamental risk. Their view is that risk (not valuation) is a continuum from low to extreme risk. As one moves up the continuum, the investment philosophy also shifts from a probabilistic exercise to pure speculation highly reliant on timing. Instead of trying to predict the turn of the economic cycle or movements in commodity prices and exchange rates, they study the sustainability of a company’s economic moat to arrive at an intrinsic value. In their world, the greatest risk is a loss of quality and earnings power through economic changes and deterioration of management as put forward by Benjamin Graham. They therefore aim for consistently high returns through the entire economic cycle.

Investment philosophy How Foord thinks about investments determines how they act. The tenets of their investment philosophy are the lights that guide what they do: Get the big calls right Meaningful investment returns are not earned by making incremental decisions. Superior long-term returns are generated by identifying and taking advantage of economic cycles. In the long term, it is never beneficial to invest in the fast hounds of the slow pack. Buy at the right price The price at which one purchases an investment dictates future returns: pay too dear, and future returns are compromised. “Cheap” or “dear” are concepts that crystallise with fundamental analysis of the future revenue streams and associated risks of an investment security. Investing with a margin of safety is critical to reducing the future risk of loss.
178
Take a long-term view and be patient Speculation is a short-term activity with an inherently uncertain result. Investment is a long-term activity with a more certain result. Like the maturation of a good wine or the growing of a tree, an investment’s full potential realises over time. Ignore the benchmark when building portfolios A benchmark is often representative of what is in vogue or what is simply big. Bigger isn’t always better and fashion is fickle. Portfolios should be constructed by applying objective, independent perspectives to their composition. To outperform the herd you have to be different from the herd. Diversify and manage risk Diversification offers possibly the only “free lunch” in the market – it affords the investor the chance to manage the risk of being wrong. Diversification should be used often, but not excessively. Where careful analysis gives an investor greater conviction, less diversification is needed – because the risk of being wrong is lower.

Investment philosophy Futuregrowth’s Fixed Interest investment philosophy is to maximise long-term investment returns by identifying, measuring and managing all value-adding components of interest bearing investments. This can be broadly broken down into two core areas. Firstly, the interest rate process involves the determination of the most likely future direction of interest rates, followed by the most appropriate allocation to money market, nominal and inflation-linked bonds as well as yield curve positioning across all three of these broad interest rate asset classes. The interest rate strategy is expressed mainly by utilising the most liquid RSA government bond market. The process endeavours to identify market anomalies by finding balance between economic fundamental analysis (top down) and market valuation (bottom up). They frequently find a mismatch which enables them to express their view, preferably against a well-priced market consensus.
180
Along with the intense scrutiny they pay to the interest rate process, they channel substantial efforts into asset selection. The core of the asset selection process is the creation of diversified portfolios with substantial yield enhancement through a robust credit/analysis process. As a result the portfolio’s running yield should produce long-term, stable outperformance. In terms of market anomalies, Futuregrowth believe that they can add alpha through focused exploitation of market inefficiencies. They use well practised quantitative processes to select high credit quality and high yielding assets. They do realise that in the course of earning higher yields the portfolio is exposed to both default risk and widening credit spreads. These risks are minimised in a number of ways that include: ■■ Using a rigorous fundamental process that screens good assets for inclusion in the portfolio ■■ Ensuring diversity by credit exposure limits (issuer, credit class, sector) ■■ Negotiating strong lender covenants, security and protections which reduce the likelihood of default and also increase our estimated recovery rates in an event of default ■■ Actively monitoring and managing these assets ■■ Pricing appropriately for credit risk

Investment philosophy Kagiso Asset Management makes investment decisions based on mispricings they observe in the market. Simply put, they buy investments that are priced well below their intrinsic values and avoid those that they believe are overpriced. Opportunities arise when market prices deviate from intrinsic value. All investments represent a set of future cash flows, which can be valued with reasonable accuracy. Over time, this intrinsic value progresses at a fairly stable pace. Asset prices, however, fluctuate considerably through time. This is largely due to self-reinforcing cycles of enthusiasm or negativity, often fuelled by an excessive focus on near-term data and news flow. Their aim is to identify and exploit mispricings in the markets. They therefore buy investments at prices well below their estimation of intrinsic value and hold them while they deliver strong cash returns and until they can be sold above this value. Once sold, Kagiso Asset Management avoids such overvalued investments for as long as the market price is above the intrinsic value. 186
Kagiso Asset Management recognises that there is considerable danger in operating with the comfort of a false sense of certainty and the accompanying behavioural reinforcement cycles that lead to a distorted evaluation of new information. As a result, they understand that despite their best efforts, they cannot possibly know all the facts. This drives them to think more deeply, to work harder and to be more alert. They view the future in terms of probabilities, explore alternative scenarios, diversify their positions, hedge risk and seek out potential asymmetries.

Investment philosophy Our investment philosophy focuses on opportunities for long-term value creation through the generation of consistent performance. We are active fund managers. We believe that, over time, the value of a company is driven by the underlying fundamentals of the sector that it operates in, as well as the economic value created by management. Our investment research process seeks to identify companies with a clear strategy of increasing shareholder value, accompanied by a consistent and excellent management track record. Our investment decisions are based on fundamental research which incorporates a top-down approach, supported by a bottom-up detailed analysis. The analysis focusses on finding companies which we benchmark against global peers in terms of best management practices and standards. Our process incorporates risk management into every level of investment decision-making. Our approach, aimed at minimizing the potential for capital loss, is focussed primarily on quality companies. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) screening is part of our investment decision-making process and we employ quantitative and qualitative approaches in our analysis.

Investment philosophy Their investment philosophy is rooted in their mission to preserve the capital entrusted to them and deliver superior risk adjusted investment returns. Only fundamental research aimed at establishing the true intrinsic value of the investment opportunities can provide true insight. They acknowledge the importance of balance: ■■ Balance between investment returns and the risk associated with delivering those returns. They are long-term investors who demand a high margin of safety at the point of investing and maintain a low level of turnover within portfolios. ■■ Balance between capital growth and cash generation. ■■ Balance between compound and cyclical price performers. Their philosophy results in the core of the portfolio being invested in businesses with more predictable, less cyclical earnings profiles. Cyclical businesses are not ignored; however, the risk is managed via the weighting.
Melville Douglas’ philosophy is based on the firm belief that long-term investment returns depend on two key investment characteristics: ■■ the stable compounding ability of the underlying cash stream; and ■■ the price the investor pays. Investments with no cash streams (return on capital) are usually purely speculative, and are near-impossible to value appropriately. As the key factor affecting the longterm returns of an investment is the price paid, they focus on identifying the intrinsic value of an investment opportunity and then ensuring they invest only when there is an appropriate margin of safety. This margin of safety allows them to absorb short-term market shifts, strengthens their ability to take a longer term investment view and allows portfolios to benefit from the power of compounding returns. They believe in buying superior businesses with strong cash flows, known integrity and competence of management, at compelling valuations. Their philosophy has been adopted and carried forward since the inception of the company. It has been a core principle of the firm and its investment professionals. The investment process has been refined and improved over the years, but the core investment approach and philosophy has been unwavering. Their approach aims at achieving alpha by avoiding investments with high downside risk (or high volatility) and doubtful compounding ability; and by patiently allowing the compounding effect to work.

Investment philosophy The philosophy of Old Mutual Multi-Managers revolves around clearly defining each client’s objectives, together with the client, and then aiming to deliver on those objectives. This means that the main focus is on inflation, particularly in relation to retirement funds and its members, and this enables the team to avoid some of the pitfalls of worrying what the rest of the investor herd is up to. The business has a long-term view that we believe enables the investment team to focus on making sound decisions that will deliver for clients rather than satisfying the short-term goals of performance charts, awards and surveys.

Investment philosophy
When was the company established? 1997 List of mergers that have taken place since being established: Real African Asset Management “RAAM” was established in 1997 as the first Black asset management company. WIPAM, a subsidiary of WIPHOLD, was established as the first Woman asset management company in 1999. RAAM and WIPAM merged in October 2001. The company was re-branded as Pan-African Asset Management (“PAM”) in 2006. PGC Group, 100% black owned and 38% black women owned, became the controlling shareholder of PAM in 2016.
The PAM investment process is driven by the underlying investment philosophy that markets are not efficient and that value can be extracted from market drivers that are not fully discounted in the underlying share or asset prices. Inefficiencies typically stem from inter alia the herd effect in markets, interventions from policy makers and asset/liability adjustments.

Investment philosophy Perpetua is a value-oriented investment manager with the belief that the best predictor of returns is the price paid for an investment relative to a determination its true value. The investment philosophy is centred on the bottom-up, fundamental research of companies. Perpetua seeks out mispriced, undervalued companies and invest with a long-term and patient view. Their investment process ensures investments are made according to the convictions of their research, not to benchmarks. The firm is therefore unconstrained in its approach to portfolio management and is concerned with doing what is right for the long-term, not simply what is popular for now. They pursue their own interpretation of value investing, termed True Value investing. True Value investing that: ■■ Undervalued shares can be uncovered due to more than one central thesis - from “mean reversion” on one end to “quality at a reasonable price” at the other end. ■■ Correctly determining the “value thesis” at the point of investment reduces the typical shortfalls of more 206
one-dimensional value investors. Theses can and do change over the lifecycle of the investment. ■■ Share attributes or metrics (low or high P/E; low or high Price to Book) do not indicate fundamental under/ over valuation in isolation.

Investment philosophy At Prescient, they define risk as the probability of not meeting the investment objectives of the client. To this extent, positions taken in portfolios are mathematically tested using different scenarios to determine the portfolio outcome. This ensures that the position taken will on the upside, deliver on client expectation, while at the same time, in downward markets, it will not breach the risk objective of the client. The core of Prescient’s investment philosophy is capital preservation and the management of downside risk. Their investment philosophy gives rise to a distinctive style, QuantPlus® which defines the investment process that Prescient employs. The process is essentially an ‘enhanced’ benchmark process, with the client’s risk limits determining the size of positions taken relative to the risk benchmark. “Quants” refers to the quantitative process where the position outcome is tested to ensure that it will meet the client’s objectives. “Plus” refers to the process where the enhancements and positions are systematically taken to generate additional performance above the benchmark, while still adhering to the client’s risk limits.

Investment philosophy Prudential are prudent, value investors who place a special emphasis on managing risk in their client portfolios. Prudential believe that market prices are broadly efficient over the long term, but can be very inefficient over shorter periods. Therefore, at any point in time, market prices may not reflect intrinsic values. Short-term inefficiencies are essentially driven by repeating behavioural errors by market participants, particularly an alternation between ‘greed and fear’. Prices do not stay at unrealistic levels indefinitely; sooner or later they reflect intrinsic values dictated by fundamental economic factors. Repeating behavioral errors and the eventual convergence of market prices to reflect fundamental values provide sustainable opportunities for active, long-term investors like Prudential to earn excess returns by investing in mis-priced assets.

Investment philosophy PSG puts risk first in all that they do. They look for investment opportunities that will provide them with a sufficient margin of safety and an asymmetrical payoff range. This pay-off range should translate into little downside and sufficient upside. They believe that they will invest in any opportunity (equity or fixed income) provided that there is a sufficient margin of safety to ensure that they are not likely to incur permanent capital loss on that investment. In essence they compare ideas across a range of opportunities, both fixed income and equity, looking for the highest probability, real, risk-adjusted yields. This leads to an absolute rather than relative mindset. Their equity philosophy is guided by their simple checklist of the 3 Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s: Moats, Management and Margin of safety. They look to invest in companies with strong business models and management teams and a sufficient margin of safety.
210
They prefer to invest in high quality compounding return type companies with strong management teams and a long runway of future opportunities to invest in. They will, however, also invest in mean reverting type companies on a more opportunistic basis, provided there is a sufficient margin of safety. Their highest return ideas typically come from high quality companies that have a large though fixable problem or temporary headwind, which has resulted in a depressed share price. They then are buying a compounder with strong mean reverting valuation properties.

Investment philosophy RECM’s investment activity is grounded in the value philosophy, with an emphasis on consistently applying a sensible investment process. The investment process is a bottom-up process, based on proprietary research. In addition, the investment process is risk-conscious, where risk is defined as losing money, rather than volatility around a benchmark. The focus is on protecting capital, and growing it where possible and where sensible. Ultimately, such an investment process relies on avoiding, as far as possible, deep drawdowns of capital. It does this by only accepting investment risk where the investor is clearly being paid handsomely to do so – in other words, by only buying assets when the price is significantly below a reasonable estimation of fair value. Sources of return are thus two-fold: the movement from cheap to fair value, as well as the intrinsic growth that most good quality businesses exhibit over time. RECM believes that these are the only two sources of return that investors can access on a consistent basis.

The Rezco investment philosophy combines the best aspects of value investing with superior sustainable earnings growth, primary trend analysis and measured market timing. They seek companies with attractive price earnings ratios relative to their long-term growth prospects.

Investment philosophy SIM follows a pragmatic value investment philosophy. They believe that financial markets are inefficient and that they can add value relative to the general market indices as a result of this. Market inefficiency exists primarily because financial market participants are driven by human emotions, such as fear and greed. These emotions cause asset prices to move away from their fair values, which creates investment opportunities for patient investors. Also, as various market participants have different investment time frames and liquidity requirements, assets can become mispriced on a temporary basis. As all information is publicly available, SIM cannot claim to add value by trying to gain an information edge relative to our competitors. The markets are global and they compete against the best teams in London, New York and elsewhere. In light of this, SIM do not believe that it is possible to forecast economic variables and company earnings better than anybody else, and it is a feature of their approach that they do not rely on such forecasts.
Rather, in terms of their pragmatic value approach, they believe that they can identify mispriced assets given current available information. The word “pragmatic” refers to the Charles Peirce School of investment philosophy, which advocates taking a practical approach to matters with reference to historical events. For valuing assets, SIM use a fair value framework based on long-term historical asset returns. Opportunities arise when current prices differ from these long-term fair values. The assumption that assets revert to their long-term average real returns is fundamental to their approach. For example, they would assume that a company’s return on equity will return to its long run average over time. SIM’s approach works particularly well for assets with future cash flow streams. Valuing currencies and commodities are more difficult as economic factors, such as supply and demand, come into play.

Investment philosophy SMMI believes that the market displays short-term inefficiency which causes asset prices to deviate from their fair value in the short term. This creates the potential for superior investment managers to take advantage of deviations between fair value and market price, and consequently to generate substantial outperformance of the general market or benchmark over time. Given that past performance is not an indication of future performance, SMMI’s skill lies in distinguishing whether outperformance was due to luck and unlikely to be repeated, or due to skill and therefore repeatable. SMMI believe that not all managers perform equally well in all phases of the market cycle. At times the market favours a particular investment style, only for another style or bias to outperform at a different time in the cycle. Their outstanding proprietary research platform enables them to distinguish between managers displaying skill and lucky managers, without being blinded by short-term performance noise in the market. They continuously analyse the performance characteristics of various managers and develop an understanding of their particular portfolio construction process. As a result they understand which manager combinations will lead to a concentration or under allocation of risk in the portfolio
that will ultimately jeopardises the ability of the portfolio to meet the client’s performance expectations in the long run and construct robust portfolios free from these biases.

Investment philosophy Their knowledge and experience in property markets allows them to take a holistic approach to property investment. They believe in long-term value investment; however, their specialist focus allows them to take advantage of short-term growth opportunities. Their investment decisions are centred on four main pillars – the 4 “d’s”: ■■ Their passion for direct property – kicking the tyres. ■■ Understanding the broader macroeconomic drivers of property investment. ■■ Taking views on corporate action “deals” and spotting the “hidden” potential in the sector. They have also built strong relationships with various stakeholders in the listed property sector. ■■ Focus on detail (all stock and sector modelling done in house) distinguishes them from their peers. ■■ The team’s combined experience in local and international markets, they believe, is superior to competitors. ■■ Sesfikile does its own in-house stock modelling and research. ■■ The team does its own trading and sources lines of stock in house.
■■ The processes have all been generated by the executive directors and the small specialist boutique approach / structure makes them more nimble and flexible in execution of investment ideas.

Investment philosophy
Ownership
STANLIB believes that there is no ‘one size fits all’ investment solution for clients. Diverse clients need diverse investment outcomes. They therefore look at investments through many lenses and from many angles – this gives them an in-depth understanding of an ever changing investment landscape. Their investment model thus houses multiple focused units with unique philosophies, which cater for diverse client needs.
What is the ownership structure of the company? STANLIB Asset Management (STANLIB) is wholly owned by Liberty Life, which in turn is 54% owned by the Standard Bank Group. Who are the directors of the company? T Dloti, S Gobalsamy, MW Hlahla, AP Cunningham, JH Sutcliffe, CG Troskie Do staff and management have an interest in ownership? Please provide the percentage held by staff and management: Not in the form of share ownership as STANLIB is wholly owned by Liberty. Instead, STANLIB offers incentives in the form of deferred investment units. This deferred scheme is applied to all investment professionals and senior management, and is akin to ownership as investment professionals have a direct interest in the success of their franchise(s), funds, clients and the overall firm.
The STANLIB investment team consists of franchises made up of specialist teams of investment professionals. They manage clients’ assets in their area of expertise, namely: fixed interest, listed property, equities, multi-asset allocation, multi-management and alternatives. These specialist investment teams deal with market changes with agility and speed, as they are supported by dedicated research, trade, implementation, risk management and compliance teams. Their Multi-Specialist Franchise Model truly reflects the complex investment world they operate in and echoes their desire to deliver

History When was the company established?

Investment philosophy TriAlpha is trusted by large, sophisticated institutional investors to build innovative products that meet their expectations of incremental alpha generation, with an intense focus on downside risk protection. The predominant focus is the management of enhanced Cash and Fixed Income long-only and hedge fund institutional investment mandates using a portable alpha approach. Their portable alpha approach combines different investment styles to achieve consistency throughout the Fixed Income market cycle. By Fixed Income they mean conventional bonds, inflationlinked bonds, convertible bonds, notes, fixed rate agreements, loans, deposits, money market instruments and at the margin preference shares and property. Portable alpha, also known as “alpha transport”, refers to the ability of a portfolio manager to extract the alpha generated within any investment portfolio from the beta, and to then apply this outperformance to any other asset class the manager chooses, which ultimately eliminates the market risk of the manager’s portfolio.
So the sweet spot for the firm on the relative / absolute return continuum is the cross-section where the return objective leans towards actively exploiting investment opportunity through skills sets, and the risk objective is not to take more than market risk when replicating or beating a benchmark.

Investment philosophy Their investment process is firmly rooted in fundamental analysis. Visio’s approach is predominantly bottom up and sector or theme specific. Every company is different and is influenced by its own particular factors, hence the need for in-depth research and analysis, regular management contact, site visits, broker and company presentations, etc. They spend a considerable amount of time ‘on the road’ towards achieving this end. Additional attention is devoted to companies that are either underresearched, not covered by sell side analysts or otherwise those businesses considered out of favor from time to time by the investment fraternity. There is limited use of both quantitative techniques and technical analysis in the formulation of their strategies. Their research is not limited to only listed companies. They continuously expand their knowledge and contacts base with many unlisted companies, who are either trading partners or competitors with their listed counterparts.
226
Their strength lies in their ability to integrate the information which they continuously gather in order to formulate medium- to long-term investment ideas for the funds. Visio maintains their own financial models on the majority of the listed companies in our investment universe. They update, enhance and tweak those models regularly as they represent the primary tools in their decision making process. The investment universe spans across industries, market capitalisations and through the use of a number of different investment instruments. Those include not just listed shares, but also listed commodity ETFs, listed corporate debt issues, index futures and listed options. Portfolio ‘churn’ is low. Significant shareholdings may be accumulated in individual companies or material exposures achieved in certain sectors from time to time.

Investment philosophy Vunani Fund Managers (VFM) has a strong investment capability in the areas of absolute return (CPI + range), enhanced income, vanilla bond, ILB, core domestic equity, specialist equity, global equity capability, as well as property funds. Their investment philosophy is based on the use of inference as opposed to forecasting and the minimisation of drawdown risk across all product groups. To this end the following principles guide their investment process and philosophy ■■ Risk control. Their objective in each of their product groups is to deliver performance that exceeds benchmark but with less-than-commensurate risk. ■■ Emphasis on consistency. They value consistency in everything they do. This includes delivering alpha as consistently as they are able to. ■■ Market efficiency. Unlike most market participants that believe that they possess some skill or are able to find inefficiencies in the market. Whilst this is possible in some cases Vunani Fund Managers don’t believe it to be the primary source of long term alpha generation. ■■ Specialization. They believe that specialization offers the surest path to the achievement of results. In a world of increasing complexity they focus each product area on “just one thing”. 228
■■ Macro-environment. Using inference as opposed to forecasting they extract the key values discounted by the market at any point in time and debate these. Their analysis shows that aggregate return expectations differ for both asset classes and companies in each of the three regimes identified within the macro-economic environment. ■■ Market timing. Whilst they do not seek to time the market or believe that its time in the market that counts, they focus their market timing decisions in the context of the potential for drawdown risk as defined by their composite macro indicator.

When your signature impacts many, caution becomes critical. There’s a time to be bold and a time to be cautious. But when your decisions impact on the wellbeing of your employees, members, stakeholders and clients, caution is the more prudent strategy. That’s why we take our time to scrutinise every risk and requirement, consider every eventuality, before making decisions. Which means that, when the time comes to sign on behalf of others, you can do so boldly.
