The following surveys are included: ■ SA Large Manager WatchTM Survey ■ SA Manager WatchTM Survey – Best Investment View ■ SA Manager WatchTM Survey – Conservative ■ Global Large Manager WatchTM Survey ■ Global Manager WatchTM Survey – Best Investment View ■ Global Manager WatchTM Survey – Conservative ■ Global Manager WatchTM Survey – Dynamic ■ Absolute Return Manager WatchTM Survey ■ BEE Manager WatchTM Survey ■ Bond Manager WatchTM Survey ■ Equity Manager WatchTM Survey ■ Fund of Hedge Funds Manager WatchTM Survey ■ LDI Manager WatchTM Survey ■ Medical-Aid Manager WatchTM Survey
assures the prosperous Voyage”. Times of crisis reveal creativity, ingenuity and resilience of spirit and this has been especially true among corporates in the past few months. The pandemic, as research suggests, has amplified the importance of environmental, societal and governance (ESG) factors after years of being challenged by mainstream finance. The article ESG – The kingmaker in Covid-19 reflects on how corporates have had sustainability thrust upon them by an act wholly outside of their control. Section 2 includes the article Multi-management style diversification. The multi-management proposition understands that different investable opportunity sets behave differently and that they all move through different periods of outperformance and underperformance, based on prevailing market and economic conditions. Having a good sense of each opportunity set’s expected performance delivery through different cycles, gives multi-management the advantage of knowing how to blend a complementary mix of these opportunity sets within one portfolio solution. In this section we also provide an economic review of what happened in 2020.
■ LDI Manager WatchTM Survey
Section 3 provides the 2021 investment outlook for the global and local economy. This section also features an article which looks at the progress of ESG and social responsible investing in its quest “from niche to mainstream” There is a strong case to argue that the impacts on corporate governance and social factors brought about by Covid-19 has piqued more interest in ESG.
■ Targeted Development Investment (TDI) Manager WatchTM Survey
A glossary of commonly used investment terms is included.
■ Money Market Manager WatchTM Survey ■ Multi - Manager WatchTM Survey ■ Property Manager WatchTM Survey ■ Shari’ah Manager WatchTM Survey
In this year’s publication, we feature a range of articles which focus on the theme of resilience through adversity. The article A brave new world: The asset management industry after Covid-19 looks at the impact of the pandemic.

Asset Distribution to Manager BEE ratings The asset distribution in 2020 was still significantly concentrated among the level 2 contributors. There was a slight decrease in the level 2 and 3 contributors compared to 2019. The decrease in the level 2 and 3 contributors was negated by the increase of 9% in the level 1 contributor category, continuing the trend that asset managers are transforming and taking BEE seriously. Looking at the total AuM of the top 5 black-owned asset managers in the June 2020 AuM survey, it is quite encouraging to note that compared to the AuM of the top 5 black-owned managers in the June 2019 survey, we saw growth of 19%.

Twenty-two of the 70 participating asset managers were level 1 contributors compared to the 21 in last year’s survey. Momentum Investments improved their rating from a level 3 contributor in 2019 to level 1 in 2020. After improving their rating from level 6 in 2017 to level 5 in 2018, Foord was unrated in 2019. In 2020 Foord was rated a level 8 contributor. Compared to June 2019, Taquanta, Vunani, Sasfin, Rezco, Mianzo, Prowess Terebinth and Lima Mbeu all showed an increase in AuM of over 30% as at June 2020, while Catalyst and First Avenue had a decrease in AuM in excess of 40% over the same period. Seventy percent of the top 10 asset managers were rated level 2 contributors, with the remaining managers being level 1 and 3 contributors. For the first time we have 7 level 1 contributors in the top 20 managers ranked by size which is an increase of 25% over the 2019 number. There is one investment manager in the universe on level 8 and 9 who are unrated.

“The good seaman weathers the storm he cannot avoid and avoids the storm he cannot weather.” So goes the quote from the unknown ancient mariner. To a large extent, the risk assessment framework that forms the basis of the financial services industry has enabled courageous actions overall. However, avoidance of the market carnage has been impossible, and the effects will be felt possibly longer than the virus persists. As George William Curtis pointed out, “It is not the ship so much as the skilful sailing that assures the prosperous voyage.” Times of crisis reveal creativity, ingenuity and resilience of spirit. Our findings confirm that this is true even in the time of coronavirus. The onset of the Covid-19 crisis marked the denouement of the various headwinds facing the asset management sector: ■ margin compression from slow growth in assets under management and revenues ■ rising operating costs ■ pressure on fees ■ intense competition The current headwinds have ushered in a storm that not all participants will weather.

Bidvest Group acquires Cannon Asset Managers
Small firms are facing tough choices in a difficult environment At the end of March 2020, Nedgroup Investments announced that Electus Fund Managers, the appointed portfolio manager in its Growth Fund, had decided to throw in the towel after 15 years1. The action it said had been precipitated by the “unforeseen decline in assets under management and subsequent financial pressure on the business” coupled with low growth prospects. This challenge is aptly encapsulated in a quote from a recent sector report by SEI, a leading provider of technology-driven wealth and investment management solutions, noting “Massive scale is not critical but critical mass is”, and will drive responses to this ongoing crisis2. ■ 2019 RECM merges with Counterpoint ■ 2018 Bidvest Group acquires Cannon Asset Managers ■ 2017 Sanlam Investment Holdings acquires shares in Easy Equities ■ 2016 RMI Investment Holdings partners with Royal Bafokeng Holdings to create Royal Investment Management ■ 2016 African Rainbow Capital acquires a stake in Colourfield Liability Solutions

In December 2019, RECM founder Piet Viljoen announced a merger with Sam Houlie’s Counterpoint. In the search for critical mass, firms have sought entrepreneurial acquisitions to bolster expertise, or to integrate desired financial services offerings. In 2018, Bidvest Group acquired Cannon Asset Managers, a firm founded in 1998 by Adrian Saville.
Over the course of the last decade, the proliferation of boutique firms specialising in listed equity investments has intensified competition. In 2019 alone, there were 11 new firms and 45 new strategy entries in the Alexander Forbes Manager Watch surveys, according to Janina Slawski, Head of Investments Consulting at Alexander Forbes Investments3.
Sanlam Investment Holdings acquired shares in financial technology business Easy Equities in 2017.
Total industry assets under management included in the Alexander Forbes Annual Retirement Fund Survey amounted to approximately R5 trillion at the end of 20194. Median assets under management were R23.7 billion up from R11.8 billion in 2015 as smaller firms gained market share. The largest ten asset managers saw slower asset growth, with the median firm growing by approximately 6%, constrained by a sluggish economic environment and lacklustre markets. With the industry maturing over the last decade, outflows have increased, and the rapid growth due to increasing contributions and solid investment growth has abated.
RMI Investment Holdings (RMI) bought stakes in independent money managers creating a multi-affiliate investment management group. They partnered with Royal Bafokeng Holdings in 2016 to have an empowerment partner to extend its affiliate strategy. RMI and Royal Investment Management (RIM) own stakes in 12 investment managers that together managed an estimated R140 billion before the Covid-19 crisis. African Rainbow Capital (ARC), the investment company started by mining magnate, Patrice Motsepe, acquired a stake in Colourfield Liability Solutions, the largest investment manager of third-party liability driven investment solutions in South Africa in 2016. More recently, ARC snapped up a stake in start-up firm, Lima Mbeu.
Can asset managers afford to build resilience and adopt technological change? As the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic grips the economy, employers are considering: ■ temporarily reducing salaries ■ allowing members to decrease retirement fund contributions ■ even taking contribution holidays to use cash flow for business survival over a limited period Asset managers report a spike of unit trust outflows with clients switching to cash and fixed income as individual investors and corporates seek immediate liquidity. The prospect of retrenchments and the potential massive withdrawal of retirement savings further exacerbates the situation as falling market values mean less revenue for the industry. As South Africans grapple with lower incomes, high levels of indebtedness and delayed retirements, there will be less money to save and invest. Asset managers will have to adjust, either by finding new avenues to grow revenues or better managing their biggest costs – people, technology, and rent.
Alexander Forbes HotTopics, March 2020
The cost structure of an asset management business has changed, with many costs rising faster than inflation. Controlling expenses without diminishing capacity to deliver to clients, cash preservation, reprioritisation and reallocation of budgets are crucial. It is expensive to hire risk and compliance specialists to deal with an ever-changing regulatory environment and provide the right technology to support the different compliance functions, many of which are more challenging in a home office environment – sign-off control systems, for instance. Bloomberg and many data systems used in investing are billed in dollars. Rand depreciation continues to ratchet up technology costs. Firms are more expensive to run, and it takes more assets under management to just break even. Building a resilient firm that can survive continued margin pressure means upgrading operations and faster adoption of digitisation in an industry that is notoriously considered a “digital laggard”. The technology infrastructure, software and hardware must also be adequate to support a different technology environment where the entire office works from home.

There is an opportunity to: ■ spur business improvements ■ redefine certain customer service experiences to lower costs ■ improve productivity ■ create internal capacity to do more while preserving jobs Partnering with business-critical suppliers that can bring the right skills or opportunities to the core business is certainly worthy of consideration.
Is industry consolidation part of the answer? The Covid-19 pandemic will accelerate industry consolidation to the extent that many firms will need to grow assets under management faster than their underlying fixed cost bases. However, large asset management firms are leery of the big transformative acquisitions of the early 2000s. Experience shows mergers and acquisition are notoriously difficult to execute. Trying to integrate a business and bed down different cultures and technology is fraught with risk without a clear understanding of where the vulnerabilities are. High institutional client overlap adds to the risk of client attrition after the merger. The objective of any acquisition should be clear and must be duly considered when embarking on this course. The objective might be: ■ forming an alliance of firms to scale resources ■ buying assets to gain scale ■ adding a new investment capability ■ enhancing black economic empowerment credentials ■ taking a stake in an umbrella fund ■ “lifting” a team that has unique capabilities Asset managers without a strong performance track record will come under pressure as investors gravitate towards top performing firms. Over the next 12 to 18 months, there is likely to be a “flight to quality” as clients flock to those businesses seen as low solvency risks where they can: ■ trust the business continuity processes ■ get quality service, a distinctive experience and competitive fees ■ expect good investment performance Not every asset management firm will survive the market upheaval from the Covid-19 crisis. Marginal firms without sufficient cash buffers, or patient, deep-pocketed shareholders will go out of business. Access to government assistance plans and regulatory abeyance to support businesses that are experiencing short-term stress will help some companies if assets under management do not drop significantly.

Access to distribution networks to sell their products gives insurer-owned asset managers a slight edge here, but even in this instance they cannot escape a slowdown in insurance premium growth. While these closures will be disruptive and extract deep social costs, they may leave the sector on a stronger footing in aggregate.
So, can the crisis spur innovation? Are there any silver linings that can come out of this? One innovation to come out of the crisis is the changing perception of working from home. Contrary to most expectations, productivity has been higher, with less dead time travelling. Managers will need to be more flexible than they have been about how people work, even when restrictions start to ease. Longer term, this new way of working may mean reductions in the amount of commercial real estate required and firms will downsize their real estate footprints. Less travel could also reduce wear and tear on the country’s ageing road infrastructure and result in lower greenhouse gas emissions with positive consequences for the environment. Expensive conferences in fancy venues with overpriced attendance fees and attendant travel budgets may become a thing of the past. Virtual townhalls on virtual meeting and conference platforms (MS Teams, Skype, Zoom) with financial advisers, consultants and trustees can accommodate hundreds, even thousands of clients at a lower cost than hosting large client events, and potentially without compromising effectiveness. Maintaining the work culture in a virtual world without close proximity is a challenge. Leaders have had to adapt quickly to a complex, unpredictable situation, working under tremendous uncertainty. Engagement with employees has had to change from in-person meetings to virtual video and telephone interactions. Greater awareness of one’s colleagues is needed – especially those who are managing many constraints working remotely. In meetings, creating opportunities for more reserved or introverted people to contribute and give input is key. This can make meeting dynamics better with the additional benefit of listening to fresh voices, although they may take longer to conclude. Employers can make it more attractive for employees to work from home in many different ways. Examples are: ■ ensuring secure, fast connections to homes, and backup connections at a time when work-from-home connectivity issues abound ■ paying for employee data and phone costs

“The situation requires that you mobilise employees in a different way than you have done before, in what is an abnormal situation. If a person does not have a proper chair to sit on at home, supply their work chair to them so that they can work. It is important to do the small things that matter most to employees at this time, where we can.”
■ recommending standardised equipment for the home office so that technology is compatible, thereby reducing the ongoing management headache on stretched IT resources ■ negotiating discounts on recommended home-office equipment with suppliers Good leadership in a stressful environment calls for a more personal and relatable management style, while providing inspiration. As one business leader said: “The situation requires that you mobilise employees in a different way than you have done before, in what is an abnormal situation. If a person does not have a proper chair to sit on at home, supply their work chair to them so that they can work. It is important to do the small things that matter most to employees at this time, where we can.”
“‘A black swan … was meant to explain why in a networked world we need to change business practices and social norms’ and not ‘to provide a cliché for anything bad that surprises us’.5”
Broadening enterprise risk management to think more about fat-tail outcomes and non-traditional types of risk that can severely disrupt business is crucial. How does the business build in redundancy? Where are the single points of vulnerability? What are the costs of interconnected networks? Nassim Taleb interrogated these ideas in his 2007 best-selling book, The Black Swan. In a recent interview in The New Yorker magazine, Taleb is quoted as saying that “a black swan” the term he coined for an unpredictable, rare, catastrophic event, “was meant to explain why in a networked world we need to change business practices and social norms” and not “to provide a cliché for anything bad that surprises us.6”
Scenario planning to take into account first- and second-order impacts of a crisis is equally important in addition to making sure there are robust contingency plans in place. This requires: ■ cross-cutting expertise to understand integrated outcomes ■ the right organisational structure to foster the right connectivity ■ information sharing across the business to better identify and anticipate an ever-changing set of risks Ultimately, building resilience to exogenous shocks like this one will become ever more important. Investing in multi-asset classes, multi-geography and multi-currency and diversifying away from a single asset class have added a material buffer for some firms. Many local investors are under-allocated to alternatives in general and illiquid investments, in particular. Asset managers can help stimulate the economy by pooling capital from savers and allocating it to where it is required. Opportunities for the private sector in infrastructure investing (including housing, transport, health infrastructure, food security, information, communication and technology (ICT) can allow redirection of government resources to other pressing needs as well as help reduce inequality and unemployment in a meaningful way. Investment in domestic manufacturing capacity to reduce dependence on distant supply chains will be a new imperative. Weathering the headwinds arising out of Covid-19 will contribute to building a financially sustainable and resilient asset management industry, which is good for clients and is good for South Africa.

ESG – THE KINGMAKER IN COVID-19: A CORPORATES’ ZERO HOUR MOMENT Premal Ranchod – Head of ESG Research at Alexander Forbes Investments
A corporate’s zero-hour moment Milton Friedman, the economist, said that the only social responsibility a corporate has is to increase profits within the rules of the game. In simple terms “the role of business is to be in business”. One cannot think of a more germane time than now to puncture that theory. The virus is, without doubt, a social pandemic with corporate viability squarely in its clutches. Corporates are facing their zero-hour moment. One may argue that environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors finally found resonance of late, after years of being challenged by mainstream finance. Has the virus provided a temporary pause on ESG and corporate sustainability assessments? The answer is a resounding ‘no’; in fact, research suggests it has further amplified the concept. Corporates have had sustainability thrust upon them by an act wholly outside of their control. Their response, albeit by accident, may be a boon for some and value destructive for laggards. ESG forces a company to wrestle with issues that aren’t black and white. The impact, timing and the value that the market attaches to these risks are often not aptly appreciated, making ESG risk management the kingmaker. In 2020, we have witnessed leadership being summoned across government, corporate, public health service, and of course the average citizen in society to take action. We collectively grapple with the new normal. We tap into emotional quotient balances and sharpen toolkits so that we can respond respectfully.
Who is taking note of corporate responses in this time? In crises, traditional fundamentals of valuation are trumped by the markets’ assessment of reputation, loyalty, engagement, relevance and citizenship.
24
Employees will assess whether their employers are lethargic or proactive in their response to the pandemic. Employee safety and well-being are important, for example equipping employees with safety kits and introducing flexibility in sick leave policies. Are they financially secure and is their job or salary at risk? Trust finds a niche connection between employer and employee. Customers look toward corporates to deliver on goods and services. Financial services companies are seen as the lighthouse of economies. Customers weigh up whether investments are guarded and payments are made, and not being left to irrational acts. Clear and effective communication is paramount. Suppliers are looking to stay afloat. They are balancing liquidity requirements for their business. They need free cash float to withstand payment terms that might have to be deferred. They are seeking repayment flexibility from financiers.
Healthier balance sheets are enduring. Our discussions with asset management firms suggest that resilient companies have cash reserves, diversified revenue streams, off-shore or local earnings mix, and strong assets that can withstand devaluation. Companies with excessive debt are vulnerable with operating margins and cash flows facing a threat of decline.
Rating agencies came under significant pressure in 2008 for failing to signal the lending crisis. We note the ESG considerations of all three major global rating agencies, S&P; Moody’s, and Fitch through our interaction (7 April 2020). The observable risks and opportunities impact the credit quality of companies. Ratings factor into account the response to strategic risks that emerge and management thereof. The “S” – social risk – considers workforce, diversity, safety, customer and community among other factors. Emerging market countries are presenting vulnerability. These risks impact companies in the first line of fire where business is completely disrupted such as travel, healthcare, retail and hospitality sectors. Second-line businesses are the rest within the economy that suffer, but can operate remotely, such as financial services and oil and gas.

What should a company have in its quiver? ■ Capital allocation response plan Companies that consider stakeholders more acutely now stand to have a stronger workforce, client base, commitment and so on. Intangible value-add is preparation for recovery after Covid-19.
■ Strong appreciation for ESG factors Companies with stronger ESG credentials place value on externalities, link them to their strategy and operate accordingly. Whilst ESG track records are ripe for debate, evidence exists to show that well-governed, responsive businesses endure market troughs better than their riskier counterparts.
We chose to look at Gallup research based on data after the 2008 global financial crisis as a past lesson.
Employee engagement affects key business outcomes Work units in the top quartile in employee engagement outperform bottom-quartile units by 10% on customer ratings, 21% in productivity, and 22% in profitability. Work units in the top quartile also saw significantly lower absenteeism (37%), turnover (25% in high-turnover organisations, 65% in low-turnover organisations), and shrinkage (28%) and fewer safety incidents (48%), patient safety incidents (41%), and quality defects (41%). 30% 20%

■ Dividends and share buybacks Cash distributions should be used effectively in managing operational expenses. In the short term, dividend or buyback cuts might suggest a pecking order between shareholder and stakeholder. In the longer term the market will place greater weight on the strength of a business model. ■ Business continuity plans (BCP) A comprehensive, practical yet evolving plan that outlines a playbook in the event of business disruption. ■ Board balance Effective corporate governance in the form of a balanced, diverse board may prove useful when addressing softer issues like employee engagement and morale. Stakeholders look for evidence when assessing if companies have windowdressed their responses. ■ Retrenchments Rehiring costs way more. Companies will have to weigh up retrenchments, salary adjustments, and executives’ compensation plans in light of the cash reserves in place and legislative environment in a country.
The value of a business after Corona Companies will be measured by their agility at this inflection point. Flexible methods of work, embracing trust and valuing employee loyalty become the norm. Business preparedness becomes an agenda item on management committees. We think that whilst these are robust responses in the short term, there are two more nuggets to note: 1. The clarion call for companies to heed is their climate change strategies as well as their response to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 2. Companies of tomorrow will add long-term value, not by marketing ESG and philanthropy but by linking their strategy intricately to externalities that affect the business. Consider Covid-19 your dry run. Business is unusual.

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.

REMINDERS TO INVESTORS AND HOW INVESTMENT MANAGERS PERFORMED IN 2020 At the beginning of 2020 it was impossible to imagine that the world would experience a once-in-a-century pandemic that would: ■ affect the way we live ■ decimate whole industries ■ see the rise of others ■ create huge volatility in financial markets As with any typical journey where we may experience both smooth and bumpy periods, the investment journey is no different. By the end of March 2020, both local and global markets were hit with a barrage of market volatility and
uncertainty. It was during this time that it was critical to remind clients of the importance of remaining invested through the short-term noise and volatility. Our finances are personal to us and might easily warrant knee-jerk reactions if we feel like they are being threatened – reactions that might be detrimental to us in the long term. Our instinct to protect or preserve serves to strengthen these tendencies. Making quick decisions that we feel will help preserve or protect our investments is the most natural reaction, but avoiding impulsive decisions when we are under pressure is sometimes the best reaction.
The year 2020 has proven all the rules of investing that we know and believe in: The markets can be a scary place at times, but long-term investors shouldn’t panic. Historical evidence reminds us that the gains experienced over the long term outweigh the losses experienced in the short term. Big price swings can turn investing into a bit of a rollercoaster ride. This should not exaggerate the risk and uncertainty pinned on the anticipated long-term value of an investment – an insight that may be forgotten during such times.
1 Stay committed to long-term goals.
2 It is nearly impossible to time the market.
Trying to time the market is always going to be a difficult exercise without a crystal ball. It has been shown that time in the market is more important than timing the market. Attempting to outsmart the market by determining when to switch between investment portfolios ends in missed opportunities or even losses. Investors who sought safe haven in defensive assets, such as cash, would have been worse off than those investors who remained invested in shares throughout 2020, even with the sharp market falls experienced earlier in the year.
Historically, we’ve seen the markets recover significantly following drastic downturns. They often go on to post inflation-beating performance returns. 2020 was no exception. Investors who sold during the crash and sought safe havens in defensive assets such as cash would have experienced significant losses. Losses that could have recovered if they had remained invested beyond the duration of the crash.
3 What goes down will go up.
4 Diversification is key.
Volatility and investing go hand in hand, and it is normal for long-term investments to come with some risk and market volatility. A complementary mix of growth and defensive assets does not only help investments absorb market or economic shocks and participate in markets when they recover, but also help manage investors’ comfort levels and crowd out impulsive behaviour when it matters most.
The times may have changed, but sound investment principles haven’t and still apply today. Investors who remained calm, invested and committed to their long-term goals are better positioned to achieve future investment success. 30

How South African best investment view managers performed For the year, most South African best investment view (BIV) managers kept their asset allocation relatively stable, except for Foord who increased their allocation to equities by 10% from their position in December 2019. With the exception of three, the rest of the managers in the SA BIV category had positive returns for the year ending December 2020, with Bridge posting a return of -12.4% for the year as a result of a high exposure to property). In 2019 Nedgroup and Coronation were the two best performers for the year in the category, a feat which they have repeated in 2020. Nedgroup increased its exposure to Liberty Holdings, Nepi Rockcastle and Anheuser-Busch InBev. The fund reduced its exposure to domestic banks and MultiChoice. The fund also sold some of its British American Tobacco position to fund some of the purchases over the last quarter. A Naspers note was purchased, which will profit from a closing of the Naspers/ Prosus discount. Bridge was the worst performing manager for the year. The fund looks to allocate 65% of the portfolio to high-quality businesses that are expected to deliver double-digit earnings growth over the medium and long term and also targets a 25% allocation to listed property companies. The balance of the portfolio comprises short-term and medium-term government and corporate debt. The majority of the underperformance could be attributed to the overweight position in listed property. Aeon The main absolute contributors to performance were Naspers, Prosus, Impala Platinum, BHP and Anglo American whilst Sasol, Standard Bank and the MTN Group were the main detractors from absolute performance for the year. Allan Gray South African equities detracted from performance while fixed interest and commodities contributed. Within equities, detractors included Sasol and financials such as Old Mutual and Nedbank. Glencore, while being a positive contributor underperformed BHP and Anglo American, as iron ore continued to trade at very high levels. Positive contributors included Naspers and British American Tobacco, as well as Sibanye Stillwater and MultiChoice.
The lower weight in domestic real estate combined with an overweight allocation to commodities added to returns from an asset allocation perspective. The increased allocation to domestic bonds relative to cash provided additional support to returns, especially in the last nine months of the year. Perpetua The portfolio was slightly underweight in equities compared to its benchmark and overweight in bonds and cash. This position helped with relative performance. However, small-cap and midcap value stocks continued to lose ground to large-cap growth shares in 2020, especially in the first half of the year, resulting in the equity component of the portfolio underperforming the Capped SWIX over the year. Within domestic equities, the fund’s relative overweight position in RB Platinum. Omnia and Peregrine contributed to relative performance over the year. The underweight positions in Naspers and Prosus were responsible for 3.6% of the 5.7% of relative underperformance of the equity component of the portfolio. Prudential From an asset class perspective, the largest contribution to performance came from exposure to equities and the bonds. The largest detractor from performance was the relatively small allocation to property which was down 35.5% for the year. Despite generating a positive return, the SA equity component, albeit small, underperformed the market largely due to overweight positions in Sasol, Sappi, Standard Bank and being underweight in gold counters. Contributors to relative equity performance came from overweight positions to Impala Platinum, Anglo American and MultiChoice. STANLIB Through markets that plunged then rose in rapid succession, managers of balanced funds could apply tactical asset allocation and extract the best performance from allocations to properties and bonds. Asset classes that contributed to performance for the year were domestic property, bonds and cash. Technology and PGMs were the largest contributors to performance over the year with Prosus, Northam and BHP in the top three.
Ninety One Equity selection was the primary contributor to returns while gains from asset allocation were more muted. The overweight allocation to Sibanye Stillwater, Gold Fields and Impala Platinum as well as the relative underweight position in financials such as Nedbank and Old Mutual were the primary contributors to stock selection. Exposure to counters such as FirstRand, Absa and Motus were the primary detractors.

How global best investment view managers performed The Global BIV category slightly outperformed the domestic mandates with a 2% differential between the medians. For the year, most managers in this category kept their domestic asset allocation relatively stable. Rezco and Old Mutual MultiManagers decreased their allocation to domestic equities by 21% and 14% respectively over their positions in December 2019. Most managers remained close to the limits of 30% for investment in international assets allowed by Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act. Of the 34 managers, only 7 were lower than the limit of 30% by more than 5%. Nedgroup was the best performing manager in the Global BIV category for the year. Domestically exposed sectors, including banks and apparel retailers, outperformed, as did the platinum group and diversified miners. The fund increased its exposure to the mining sector and the MSCI Emerging Market Value ETF. A Naspers note was purchased, which will profit from a closing of the Naspers/Prosus discount. Rezco consolidated their position in the Global BIV category by once again being one of the strongest performing managers for the year ending 2020. The fund had a strong contribution from fixed income, notably short duration government bonds. commodities, particularly gold and PGMs, were solid contributors.
With the rand weakening aggressively and then steadily appreciating throughout the course of the year, the fund could time this well and currency movement was another contributor. Within the equity space, miners, especially gold producers, added to the gains. Detractors came in the form of the listed property sector, which experienced a tumultuous year. Absa The fund’s underweight position in global equities detracted significantly from performance. This was further compounded by the negative effects of stock selection. The fund’s exposure to the Schroders Value Fund was the main driver of equity underperformance. The underweight exposure to domestic equity added value but this was more than offset by the drag from stock selection. The overweight positions held in banks and financials and underweight positions held in Naspers and resources stocks were the largest detractors during the period. The positioning in domestic cash and nominal bonds added value. Both asset classes outperformed domestic equity and property. Bond selection was also favourable. The fund’s property holdings handsomely outperformed the SA Listed Property Index but still performed worse than equity, thereby detracting from overall fund performance.
Investors who remained calm, invested and committed to their long-term goals are better positioned to achieve future investment success.

Allan Gray Absolute and relative performance of Allan Gray balanced mandates remained muted for 2020, reflecting a local equity market that had traded sideways since 2014 and, even then, returns were dominated by a few large shares. South African equities detracted from performance, while fixed interest, foreign assets and commodities contributed. Within equities, detractors included Sasol and financials, such as Old Mutual and Nedbank. Glencore, while being a positive contributor, underperformed BHP and Anglo American as iron ore continued to trade at very high levels. Positive contributors included Naspers and British American Tobacco, as well as Sibanye-Stillwater and MultiChoice. The performance of the offshore portion of our local funds depends on the performance of our offshore partner, Orbis, and the levels of the rand. The Orbis Global Equity Fund performed strongly in the fourth quarter of 2020. The Orbis SICAV Global Balanced Fund returned 8.9% against a 60/40 benchmark that returned 14.2%. Performance improved in the second half of the year as investors started buying depressed cyclical shares, which complemented winners such as NetEase, XPO Logistics and Taiwan Semiconductor. ClucasGray The Covid crisis, and the decisions to lock down global economies, caused significant stress in the portfolio. The consequence of the Covid crisis was a very poor first quarter. The manager was active in both asset allocation and security selection during the crisis, using the opportunity to add selectively to global equity exposure, and to increase weightings in good companies that they believed were materially mispriced in the crisis. The fund has recovered very strongly off the Covid crisis lows of March 2020. The manager is of the view that excellent investment opportunities exist in South African fixed income and South African equities. The fund has over 50% allocation to South African equities, and nearly 25% in South African fixed income. They have reduced global equity weightings into strength, as they believe prospective returns from current global valuations are likely to be more muted.
The lower weight in domestic real estate combined with an overweight allocation to commodities added to returns from an asset allocation perspective. The increased allocation to domestic bonds relative to cash provided additional support to returns, especially in the last nine months of the year. A more defensive positioning of the offshore exposure during the initial part of the year helped to stabilise overall portfolio returns. During the latter part of 2020 the exposure to cyclical assets, regional equities and specific sectors such as US banks was actively increased which benefited returns. Prudential The largest contributors to performance over the year came from exposure to international equities, domestic equities and South African bonds. The exposure to domestic listed property detracted from performance. Despite generating a positive return, the domestic equity component, albeit small, underperformed the market largely due to overweight positions in Sasol, Sappi, Standard Bank and being underweight in gold counters. Contributors to relative equity performance came from our overweight positions to Impala Platinum, Anglo American and MultiChoice. STANLIB Through markets that plunged then rose in rapid succession, managers of balanced funds had ample opportunities to apply tactical asset allocation and extract the best performance from allocations to equities, bonds and the volatility of the rand. Asset classes that contributed to performance for the year were domestic property, bonds, cash global equities and global bonds. Technology and PGMs were the largest contributors to performance over the year with Prosus, Northam and BHP in the top three. Looking at the SA and Global BIV categories over the 1-year period, Nedgroup Investments and Coronation delivered solid performances. Nedgroup Investments ranked first in both categories while Coronation ranked second and third respectively.
Ninety One Equity selection was the primary contributor to returns while gains from asset allocation were more muted. The overweight allocation to Sibanye Stillwater, Gold Fields and Impala Platinum as well as the relative underweight position in financials such as Nedbank and Old Mutual were the primary contributors to stock selection. Exposure to counters such as FirstRand, Absa and Motus were the primary detractors.

MARKET AND ECONOMIC OVERVIEW – 2020 Key themes:
Covid-19: recession, policy responses, and rally in global financial markets | Commodities: global demand shows signs of recovery Prolonged recovery for South Africa
Covid-19 The worst global recession since World War II The past year has been characterised by unprecedented events. The widespread coronavirus pandemic, a health crisis, ravaged economies across the globe as governments attempted to save lives and livelihoods by imposing lockdown restrictions. The economic devastation caused by the lockdowns has been strenuous and will remain for a long time, with some countries experiencing a second wave in infections, others even a third wave. While the widely held expectation is that the recovery may take some years, the latest vaccine news provides some hope. Of the 8.25 billion Covid-19 vaccines procured, more than 138 million doses have been administered across 73 countries at a rate of 4.85 million doses a day. The International Monetary Fund projected global growth to contract by 3.5% in 2020 and grow moderately by 5.5% in 2021, with an uneven recovery due to varying policy space and country-specific initial conditions before the pandemic. This implies wide negative output gaps and elevated unemployment rates across both advanced and emerging market economies. Global GDP is projected to return to 2019 levels by the end of 2021, buoyed by growth in emerging economies. For many countries, 2021 will largely be about economic responses to the pandemic’s lasting damage, such as heightened debt burdens and misaligned politics, despite the roll-out of vaccines.
Unprecedented monetary and fiscal policy responses Major central banks responded swiftly to maintain financial stability and ease monetary policy as the ongoing spread of the coronavirus disrupted business activity and created great uncertainty. This resulted in reduced asset prices around the world and prompted investors to sell risky assets and buy safer assets, such as US dollar cash and gold.
34
The US Federal Reserve lowered its federal funds target range 150 basis points to 0-0.25%, while the Bank of England lowered its bank rate from 75 basis points to 0.10%. The European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan’s main policy rates were already around zero and remained unchanged. The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) cut the repo rate by a cumulative 300 basis points to 3.5% in 2020. Furthermore, the central banks have purchased assets, created lending programmes, and modified financial regulations to support financial markets and minimise long-run economic damage. In the medium term, central banks are expected to keep rates at low levels until their respective economies recover from the coronavirus-induced global recession. Governments around the world have acted decisively to: ■ contain and mitigate the spread of the virus ■ limit the adverse impacts on citizens and economies Many major economies announced significant fiscal policies such as: ■ direct transfers ■ tax relief ■ measures to help businesses keep their workers ■ loans to businesses that have been negatively impacted by the pandemic
Global financial markets rallied on hopes of a vaccine and improved global economic data Global financial markets performed well in 2020 in hopes of a vaccine, coordinated global fiscal and monetary response, and improved global economic data. The global manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) showed signs of global economic recovery from coronavirus-induced global recession. The MSCI All-Country World Index (MSCI ACWI) returned 16.8% in 2020 from strong returns of 27.3% in the previous year, in US dollars.

Regionally, the emerging markets outperformed developed markets, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (MSCI EM) returning 18.5% in 2020 from 18.8% in 2019, in US dollars, buoyed by strong performance in China. The MSCI Developed Markets Index (MSCI DM) returned 16.5% in 2020 from 28.4% in the previous year, in US dollars. In Europe, the UK equities bucked the trend of global equities as the coronavirus infections delayed the plans to reopen the economy. The FTSE 100 Index returned -11.4% (-8.9% in US dollars) in 2020 from 17.2% (21.98% in US dollars) in 2019, in British pounds. Global bonds underperformed global equities, with the FTSE World Government Bond Index (WGBI) returning 10.1% in 2020 from 5.9% in the previous year.
Commodities performed well in the year 2020 with global demand showing signs of recovery As countries continued to lift lockdown restrictions and reopen their economies commodities performed well in 2020 and global demand showed signs of recovery. Iron ore was the best performer in 2020, returning 55.3% in the year from 28.6% in 2019, followed by silver, which returned 47.9% in 2020 from 15.2% in 2019. Brent crude oil prices decreased by 21.5% in 2020 as lockdown restrictions negatively impacted the oil demand. Gold rallied on the first half of the year as the risk-on environment deteriorated, returning 25.1% in 2020 from 18.3% in 2019.
The economic devastation caused by the lockdowns has been strenuous and will remain for a long time, with some countries experiencing a second wave in infections, others even a third wave. While the widely held expectation is that the recovery may take some years, the latest vaccine news provides some hope.
Major global currencies performed well against the US dollar as the risk sentiment improved on hopes of a vaccine and strong accommodative monetary policy by major central banks. The euro appreciated by 8.9% in 2020 from a depreciation of 2.2% while the pound strengthened by 3.1% in 2020 from an appreciation of 3.9% in 2019. The rand bucked the trend, depreciating by 5.0% in 2020 from an appreciation of 2.4% in the previous year.
The weaker US dollar is likely to boost emerging currencies and equities in 2021 Global financial markets have been extremely volatile across all asset classes in 2020 and will likely remain so over the short term and for as long as the pandemic persists. The global reopening of economies and hopes of vaccines have increased risk appetite.

Looking ahead, risky assets, including emerging market currencies and assets are likely to be boosted by the weaker US dollar, while Joe Biden’s infrastructure and clean energy plan will be good for the US-centric corporate sector and global commodities. The results of the US elections also bode well for the global growth outlook, given the possibility of another large US fiscal stimulus package in addition to the $900 billion already passed. The downward risk performance of markets includes surging coronavirus infections and sluggish vaccine roll-outs across the globe, which may dent the speed of the global economic recovery.
South African markets tracked global financial markets as global demand improved South African equities lagged global equities in the year, with the JSE ALSI Index returning 7.1% in 2020, from 12.1% in 2019, while the JSE Top 40 returned 10% in 2020 from 12.5% in 2019, in rand terms. From a sector perspective, local equities were
36
supported by resources and industrials, boosted by increasing global demand as countries eased lockdown restrictions and many countries provided strong fiscal packages. Resources returned 21.2% in 2020 from 28.6% in the previous year, while industrials returned 12.1% in the year from 9.1% in 2019. The local property market weakened in 2020, reflecting the weak domestic economy and uncertainty brought by the coronavirus pandemic in the sector. The asset class was down 33.7% in the year from 1.9% in the previous year. Local bonds outperformed local equities, with the All Bond Index (ALBI) returning 8.7% in 2020 from 10.3% in 2019, supported by the SARB’s intervention of purchasing domestic bonds in the secondary market to improve liquidity and price discovery hampered by the pandemic. Local cash returned 4.5% in 2020 from 6.6% in the previous year.

Laurium is an authorised financial services provider (FSP No 34142). Collective Investment Schemes in Securities (CIS) should be considered as medium to long-term investments. The value may go up as well as down and past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. CIS’s are traded at the ruling price and can engage in scrip lending and borrowing. A schedule of fees, charges and maximum commissions is available on request from the Manager. There is no guarantee in respect of capital or returns in a portfolio. A CIS may be closed to new investors in order for it to be managed more efficiently in accordance with its mandate. Performance has been calculated using net NAV to NAV numbers with income reinvested. Prescient Management Company (RF) (Pty) Ltd is registered and approved under the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act (No.45 of 2002). For any additional information such as fund prices, fees, brochures, minimum disclosure documents and application forms please go to www.lauriumcapital.com.

MULTI-MANAGEMENT STYLE DIVERSIFICATION Riccardo Fontanella – Head of Technical Marketing at Alexander Forbes Investments
We can manage, not eliminate, the turbulence that comes with investing Financial markets move between cycles, influenced predominantly by underlying conditions of economic growth and contraction. It is difficult to predict when one cycle will end and when the next will begin as the ebb and flow of economic conditions is influenced by a host of factors, some expected, others not. These include economic growth rates, interest rate changes, inflation expectations, policy reforms; the list goes on. This means that investing is not a linear journey. There will be ups and downs and swings in the market’s direction. This movement in financial markets and how drastically they could swing is what is referred to as volatility. The good news is that it is ‘normal’ for investments to come with some risk and market volatility. The not-so-good news is that market volatility makes investors anxious.
The world of investing offers up a host of investable opportunity sets across asset classes and styles of money management, each with their own characteristics that determine how they respond to the motions of financial markets over time. Good portfolio construction seeks to spread investments in a way that delivers better risk-adjusted returns for investors – minimising volatility without reducing return potential.
Investment styles Asset managers have different investment philosophies and styles of money management. After all, asset managers compete against one another. Their biggest differentiator is their investment philosophy (standards or beliefs), dictating how they manage money on behalf of their clients and what investments would constitute their portfolio. Because we are all unique and have different views, it stands to reason that a varying number of money management styles exist. To help make sense of the investment style universe, the table below summarises the most common investment styles researched within the South African asset management industry.
Investment Style R
Value
Momentum
Growth
Quality
Prefers company shares that are undervalued, meaning that the market value is less than the calculated intrinsic or ‘real’ value.
Looks for positive market trends and aims to increase exposure to company shares that would benefit as a result of those trends.
Prefers company shares that have high expected growth, high earning and profit margins and low dividend yields.
Prefers company shares that meet good financial criteria such as strong balance sheets, capable management and sustainable cash flows and earnings. This style is a blend of value and growth.

Multi-manager
Time
Different styles of money management excel at different times as financial markets move between cycles. This means that asset managers perform differently at various stages of the market cycle, and that no single manager can outperform at all stages of the market cycle. For example, during times of market contraction or weakness (as witnessed in the first quarter of 2020), asset managers with a quality style will generally outperform those with a growth style. Conversely, during times of market recovery and expansion, we expect asset managers with value and momentum styles to generally outperform.
Spreading risk across different markets, asset classes and investment styles Although there do appear to be some reasonably consistent style behaviours between cycles, over the medium term, investment styles can ebb and flow away from their expected performance paths. More recently, we have seen this in the performance delivery of those asset managers with a significant tilt towards a value style of investing. Although value investing has been resilient in previous periods of market weakness, this style was the weakest performance driver during a challenging first quarter of 2020. This makes a strong argument for maintaining diversified exposure across various investment styles to weather short-term market volatility, while also being positioned to deliver favourable risk-adjusted outcomes in the long term. Multi-management is an investment proposition that recognises that different investment styles behave differently. They all move through different periods of outperformance and underperformance, based on prevailing economic conditions. A multi-manager does not manage assets, but rather manages the asset managers who are selected and responsible for buying and selling investments. A multi-manager’s core role is to use its deep understanding of the investment philosophies employed by single managers to construct diversified portfolios consisting of multiple, highly rated and complementary asset managers across different markets, asset classes and investment styles. This approach provides investors with an added layer of risk management by ensuring that no single asset manager’s investment style or investment allocation decisions will ever dominate the fortunes of their portfolio.
The graph above shows the performance benefits of a multimanaged portfolio solution. A blend of complementary asset managers help produce a smoother (less volatile) and consistent return profile over time. This is because good performance of one asset manager compensates for poor performance of another, therefore keeping the risk of drastic changes in return at a minimum.
Repeatable investment outcomes from a consistent investment philosophy Once a multi-managed portfolio has been thoughtfully constructed, each underlying asset manager is individually monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that its performance delivery expectations remain aligned to its philosophy and style of money management. A consistently applied investment philosophy can produce repeatable investment outcomes over time. It is this consistency that is critically important within a multi-managed construct where dependable performance delivery expectations must be met to create reliable and consistent investment performance. Additionally, each asset manager is evaluated based on its contributions to the overall objectives and characteristics of the multi-managed portfolio. This process ensures that allocation shifts, or asset manager changes, can be executed timely so that the multi-managed portfolio remains optimally blended to achieve its investment objectives.
Helping investors achieve better outcomes Having a good sense of each asset manager’s expected performance delivery through different cycles gives multimanagement the advantage of knowing how to skilfully blend a mix of complementary asset managers within one multi-managed portfolio solution. This provides investors with a sophisticated means of diversifying their investments by providing exposure to the different market cycles, simultaneously. This can create compelling value for clients by generating competitive returns through various market and economic environments and improving the likelihood of achieving their investment goals with as little stress and anxiety as possible.

Multi-Manager Watch™ Survey (Balanced Mandates) Fixed Asset Allocation: Managers included in the 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.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
SECTION 4 SECTION 5
SECTION 6
Multi-Manager Watch™ Survey Risk (Balanced Mandates) Fixed Asset Allocation: Managers included in the 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 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.

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.
132
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.

SECTION 6
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. 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 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 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. 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. The “% exposure to credit assets” measures the exposure to risky assets, excluding government-linked bonds and some forms of cash. All else equal, the larger this percentage is, the greater one would 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. 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. 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 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. 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. 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.

General
Inflation-linked bond section
Bond yields fell during the fourth quarter due to the increased appetite for risk in the local and international markets. South Africa’s fiscal weakness was a major local factor, while international developments dominated market conditions over the period. The key news items over the quarter were:
Real yields in the long end reduced from an elevated level of around 4.83% at the end of last quarter (September) to 4.55%, down approximately 28 basis points, at the end of this quarter (December).
■ A continued period with low rates of daily Covid 19 infections in South Africa, after the declining pattern of infections in the third quarter. This pattern began to turn in mid-November culminating in the end of the quarter having the highest observed daily infections since the start of the pandemic. While concerning, a total lockdown was seen as unlikely and this offers hope for economic recovery. ■ A further downgrade to South Africa’s sovereign credit rating. Fitch and Moody’s downgraded South Africa’s sovereign rating (to BB- and Ba2, respectively), citing expectations about reduced fiscal strength as motivation. One key factor to consider is that both agencies published negative outlooks, which implies that further downgrades are possible. ■ Optimism in global markets and increased risk appetite from international investors. The approval and administration of vaccines in international markets boosted confidence, with international and JSE equity markets reaching new heights, as money flowed into riskier jurisdictions. A Brexit deal was struck on Christmas Eve, signaling the end of some uncertainty surrounding Britain’s relations with the EU. In addition, the US election was concluded with Joe Biden emerging as the expected victor. This has led to reduced uncertainty and has benefited emerging market economies. The quarter’s events have resulted in some volatility and this has given rise to a challenging environment for bond managers. Equities were relatively buoyant, with the All Share Index Return Index returning 9.75% over the quarter. This is expected to lead to favourable results for some LDI hedging strategies, since numerous defined benefit funds have elected to combine interest and inflation hedging with growth assets. Liabilities and their immunising bond portfolios would have performed similarly over the quarter, so the recovery in growth assets is generally expected to lift funding levels, depending on the relative level of de-risking.
High real yields present an opportunity for funds to hedge, which have not been able to do so in the past. It may be worth re-visiting this topic if you are a decision making agent for an entity with defined liabilities (such as a defined benefit retirement fund) without existing LDI assets. However, this opportunity would need to be weighed against the loss of higher expected returns (due to reduced equity allocations). We recommend discussing this with an LDI expert or your valuator. Higher yields also benefit funds transitioning unhedged active members into a hedged pensioner pool, as the transfer (and subsequent expansion of the LDI hedge) occurs at a higher yield than previously possible. Manager returns were diverse over the quarter. This is not unexpected, given the broad range of characteristics seen in the participant composites. For example, the credit allocations and benchmark durations vary notably.
Nominal bond section Long-dated nominal bond yields fell below 11% for the first time in the year by the end of December, with a 71 basis point decrease in yields from 11.55% at the end of the last quarter (September) to 10.84% at the end of this quarter (December). This change in yield in the long has led to a flatter yield curve. Participant managers broadly coped well with the challenging environment, delivering positive outperformance. However, we caution that there are limited conclusions that can be drawn from the small sample of participants.

of Excellence,
Team Mianzo – growing from strength to strength a decade later – this band still prefers to stay under the radar.
The world will forever be changed–the way we act, interact and most importantly, how we do business. There are certainly positives to come out of this global crisis, perhaps it is a bit early to see it all as the world starts emerging into the post lockdown sunrise.
Mianzo Operations’ Manager, Faldie Isaacs says, “we had to develop strong operational capabilities to navigate the crisis, to ensure that we not only continued to offer a unique service to our clients, but that we were able to continue to do so beyond the crisis.
Business is back in South Africa–mostly. Many have certainly fallen in this struggle, but others may very well emerge stronger after this pandemic. Mianzo Asset Management reckons they may just be one of those, as they have been growing from strength to strength under the radar over the past decade. This team prefers it this way as there is considerably less pressure when there is less focus on you.
“Ultimately the pandemic had a positive impact on the way we work – our systems and platform are now fully cloud-base, enabling us to remain fully operational, and while it was an expensive but necessary exercise, it has definitely given us the edge.”
Key elements to remain a viable business in the everchanging environment given the decade in existence.
The global equity markets have corrected sharply over the last quarter with our local market following suite. Most of our companies are now priced at the same level as during the Global Financial Crisis of 2008/9; however, seven years of returns have been wiped out.
In 2010, we saw the need for a wide range of alpha generators in the retirement industry. We wanted to build a business that will add value to consultants and retirement fund members and the retirement industry in general. The team has remained committed to this vision and hopefully are on track to achieving our goal. Our business model has always been that dedicated professionals must handle all non-investment functions and their associated risks. This allows our investment team to remain focused on investment analysis and portfolio management. We have always taken small, incremental but determined steps in building the business; what we are doing today is no different from what we set out to do. I believe that we get better by doing what we do repeatedly, until we perfect the skill. Our focus was to build a team with the requisite skills to be able to understand the ever-changing investment landscape and be able to carry out what is set out in our investment mandates. The results invariably flow from this commitment, say Luvo Tyandela founder and Portfolio Manager at Mianzo Asset Management. The Retirement Industry is a highly regulated and a competitive sector. Mianzo Asset Management has a fiduciary duty to member funds. Thembeka Sobekwa, a Portfolio Manager who has been with Mianzo since inception responded and said, “The investment industry is performance driven. We are dealing with members’ retirement assets and, therefore, throughout the value chain, everyone has a fiduciary duty to realise return objectives, whatever they may be”. As we celebrate Mianzo’s 10th anniversary this year, we are reminded of the value system we were trying to inculcate, and those were hard work, respect and attracting the right individuals with a shared vision. Only then did we build investment processes and eventually an investment team. We are now agile and able to take pragmatic steps and have the ability to change course depending on industry dynamics. Covid-19 caught the industry, the economy and indeed Mianzo by surprise, but due to our make-up we were able to adapt our operational and investment processes effectively and remained fully operational in a short space of time. Our team has demonstrated collective resilience in the tough environment we operate in. We have made mistakes, and we will probably continue to make mistakes as we grow, but we always ensure that we learn from our mistakes. According to Tyandela, words that come to mind when thinking about Team Mianzo are, tenacity, perseverance, effort …. pure GRIT.
Mianzo’s strategy has not changed during these tough times.
“Mohamed Shafee Loonat (CA) CFA, a Senior Portfolio manager at Mianzo, says, “while none of us would have experienced a global pandemic before, we have seen many market corrections of similar scale before. Markets will recover and rise; they have gone through various crises over the past 25 years and have recovered each time. We can be certain the history will repeat itself, but we cannot be certain how much worse it could get or how long it will take.” 2020 will be a financially challenging year for companies across the globe. Projections are that the majority will struggle to be earnings positive for the year, and some may even be faced with the threat of bankruptcy. As such, we will continue to interrogate our investment view and our portfolios to ensure we deliver the best outcomes possible.
prediction of the future, our experience has been that the deep value companies outperform the quality companies by a substantial margin. However, notwithstanding the historic performances of deep value companies, our portfolio is more tilted towards the quality value companies with intended returns in excess of our agreed upon benchmarks for the investor.” What positive signs are there if any? It is encouraging to see broad coordinated efforts to provide support during the crisis, including wide-ranging policy and regulatory support. Corporates are also playing their part. There is a willingness to maintain jobs and lenders are offering some relief. Mark Lamohr, the Head of Equities at Mianzo Asset Management always reminds the team, the consultants we interact with and even the clients that “Over the long-term our analysis will determine if we are correct on the valuation, we have placed on the companies we invest in, but the market will determine when we will be right”. Expansion of our client base from institutional investors to a broader base. Zukile Nchukane, Mianzo Head of Retail and Institutional platforms explains, “most black emerging asset managers have had great support from institutional investors. The retirement fund sector has been instrumental in Mianzo’s growth trajectory and it remains committed to continuing to service the sector. However, with the pool of assets in the retirement space decreasing in size due to the economic environment, and with the ever-growing list of emerging asset managers, the institutional space is gradually getting crowded. It is clear that exposure exclusively to institutional assets is not sustainable in the long run.
While most share prices have fallen materially, value is only lost when it is crystalized. This means if one sells an asset to hold cash or another asset seen as low risk because it has fallen less, you then miss out on the recovery bounce that inevitably returns.
“Mianzo recently launched its retail platform to diversify the business; it is no longer exclusively focused on institutional assets alone but is also giving individuals access to the platform. While, the retail space is more challenging in some respects, it is a business imperative to diversify our income. Further, we recognise that emerging black middle-class has a lack of awareness of the wealth generating potential of unit trusts, and we are now well positioned to service this growing market. This is the ‘new’ retail investor that we will primarily target for investments on our retail platform.”
How have valuations changed?
What you should know about Mianzo.
A company’s value should not be based on a single year of earnings. A number of companies will survive this period and will again be able to deliver a normalised and sustainable level of earning over the long-term. These typically are the companies we hold in our portfolios.
As we reach this milestone it is important to acknowledge that there were opportunities that were available to us, which we made the most of. For those, we are grateful. The journey is still young; this is but one of the many steps we will have to take on the path ahead.
Which companies will have a higher probability of going bankrupt?
We do not only want to be good at what we do, but we continuously strive to be better at the tasks that we perform day-today. We have a great team of individuals willing and capable of doing extraordinary things.
Many of our clients’ concerns post the pandemic were as follows: How much value has been lost?
Those with weak balance sheets, with too much debt and which are unable to renegotiate more favourable terms with the debt holders or unable to borrow more. They are also unable to raise capital from shareholders. Is there still risk in investing in companies that have a low probability of bankruptcy?
The impact of the world in lockdown and how we navigated through this crisis
Yes. A good company does not equal a good investment. The price one pays for a company is extremely important. For example, Clicks – is a good company and the current crisis will have limited impact on the business financially over this period, however, buying it at these levels of a price to earnings ratio of more than 30 has great expectations built into the price over the long-term.
The pandemic has affected the global economy and for the retirement industry, avoiding the market carnage has been near on impossible. The effects will likely be felt for longer than the virus persists. This time though gave us an opportunity to examine and evaluate our risk assessment framework. It forced most industry players, including us, to be agile and to think outside the box.
As value managers, Mianzo focuses more on the quality value companies and less on the deep value ones; we focus on a minimum three-year time horizon. Looking at previous crises, markets always recovered within three years. Also, for risk management we limit our allocation to a deep value company of no more than 0.6%. Thus, our portfolio is more tilted towards these quality value companies. Although history is not a

From all of us at Team Mianzo we wish that as a nation we get through these trying times. We are fully operational and remain focused on managing our client’s funds and growing them over the long-term. We are reminded of the famous words; THIS TOO SHALL PASS.

ESG FROM NICHE TO MAINSTREAM Premal Ranchod – Head of ESG Research at Alexander Forbes Investments
Sustainable investment themes are abounding Social responsible investing was considered niche when South Africa was sanctioned in the 80s, but today environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment considerations are resounding and the impact of investments is being applied much more broadly, beyond just investment return.
There is a strong case to argue that the impacts on corporate governance and social factors brought about by Covid-19 have piqued more attention on this theme. The numbers also point to increased attention in this space. Morningstar reported global fund flows into sustainability themed funds amounted to $71bn between April and June 2020, bringing the total of assets managed to $1trn.
On a quest for more carbon emissions data Considering the allocation to oil and gas sectors globally, these are significant contributors to carbon emissions. Ten years ago, you could not see a portfolio without it, but fast forward to today, an asset manager finds difficulty in navigating a host of risks such as carbon tax, lack of disclosure in financial statements, and weak leadership around ESG concerns. This makes ultimate investment propositions problematic. Analysts and activists alike are on a quest for more carbon emissions data and climate-related reporting information to be disclosed in trying to measure the “footprint” of their investments. Investment management companies have a fiduciary duty to not only achieve the best possible returns at acceptable levels of risk, but also to act in the best interests of the wider community and environment within which they operate. ESG factors can directly affect the short- and long-term financial performance of businesses through operational and reputational reasons. For this reason, the returns on investment from such companies can be compromised, and are important. For example, whether it is an oil spill related to a large petroleum company, workforce unrest at a global mining company, or false carbon emission reporting from a leading car manufacturer, these all lead to headlines which have caused massive drops in the share prices of major organisations as well as creating material issues for stakeholders and society. If your investment portfolio held shares in the organisations at fault, the value of your investment would have dropped given the impact on their reputation.

Risks, reputation, return and impact are all linked And that is precisely why an investment approach which considers such risks (and opportunities) is preferred – it is better positioned to deliver superior risk-adjusted and sustainable investment outcomes.
The expression against ESG issues that cause harm across the globe has been unrelenting. We are witnessing scientists, governments, regulators, corporates, and civil society sitting up and taking note. The magnitude or materiality of issues are so impactful that the past is no longer a prologue.
2020 is the tipping point for global climate policy, decarbonisation, and sustainability reporting frameworks
HERE FOR YOU, THERE FOR YOU
“The hot discussions in 2021 for ESG professionals across the globe will no doubt centre on climate and quantifying materiality, and how to balance whether ESG issues have economic significance or if they satisfy shareholder interests only. Reporting authorities will look to standardise sustainability reporting frameworks in an effort to allow markets to price for risk.”

2021 INVESTMENT OUTLOOK Key themes:
Global economic growth expected to rebound | Lagging economic recovery for SA | Inflation forecast remains stable Financial market performance and outlook
Global outlook – positive on expected vaccine-driven strengthening The International Monetary Fund (IMF) revised global growth projections higher to 5.5% in 2021 and 4.2% in 2022 from an estimated 3.5% contraction in 2020. The 2021 projections were higher by 0.3 percentage points compared to the previous estimate, buoyed by expectations of a vaccine-powered strengthening of activity later in the year and additional fiscal policy support by some large economies. However, the IMF warned that renewed waves and new variants of the coronavirus pose significant risks for the outlook. Advanced economies are now expected to grow by 4.3% in 2021 and 3.1% in 2022. The US and Japan are projected to regain end-2019 activity levels in the second half of 2021, while output in the Euro area and the UK is expected to remain below end-2019 levels well into 2022. Emerging markets and developing economies are expected to grow by 6.3% this year and 5% next year, supported by strong growth in China and India.
Consistent with the recovery in global activity, global trade volumes are forecast to grow by about 8% in 2021 before moderating to 6% in 2022. Although a recovery is expected in 2021 and 2022, output gaps are not expected to close until after 2022. Consistent with persistent negative output gaps, inflation should remain subdued during the next two years. In advanced economies, inflation is projected to remain generally below central bank targets at 1.5%. Meanwhile, inflation in emerging markets and developing economies is projected at just over 4% lower than the historical average.

As global growth recovers, amid slowing coronavirus cases, coordinated accommodative monetary and fiscal stance by advanced economies, and progressive global coronavirus roll-outs, the US dollar is expected to weaken against major currencies. This implies that the emerging market exchange rate driving inflationary pressures will remain muted, supporting emerging market economies and global economic growth.

The four biggest global risks that dominated financial markets in 2020 have been reduced:
Surging coronavirus infections have slowed down
Covid-19 vaccines have been developed
US–China tensions have eased
Brexit negotiations were resolved
Economic growth will rebound almost everywhere but South Africa will lag South Africa’s economy rebounded strongly in the third quarter of 2020 as lockdown restrictions were lifted, allowing for business activity to reopen gradually. Real GDP grew by 66.1% quarter on quarter seasonally adjusted and annualised in the third quarter of 2020 while declining by 7.9% in the first three quarters of 2020. The IMF expects the local economy to contract by 7.5% in 2020 and rebound to 2.8% and 1.4% in 2021 and 2022.
More so, the recurring energy constraints will negatively impact the recovery. Despite the lockdowns halting economic activity and therefore reducing demand pressure, the country saw more load shedding in 2020 than in the previous two years. The lack of aggressive implementation of the reforms required to boost investment means that real GDP is likely to revert to precoronavirus pandemic growth levels in 2023 or later. However, the improving global economic backdrop, with easing financing conditions and a depreciating US dollar, will support growth.
As such, we expect a rather protracted and subdued growth recovery. This is mainly due to lower government spending in addition to the continued impact of the pandemic on the global and domestic economy for longer than initially anticipated.

Inflation is expected to remain low due to high output gaps and low demand The average annual consumer inflation was 3.3% in 2020, a decline of 0.8 percentage points compared to the 2019 average of 4.1%, remaining well below the 4.5% midpoint of the SARB’s inflation target. Inflation is expected to rise to 4.0% in 2021 as global demand improves. The SARB cut the repo rate by a cumulative 300 basis points to 3.5% in 2020, to cushion the Covid-19-induced lockdowns strain on the economy.

Financial market outlook Despite the relief of making it to 2021, we believe that challenges still lie ahead. With many of the underlying economic, financial and social challenges unresolved, we continue to expect more volatility. Alexander Forbes Investments is positioned for more central bank, fiscal and regulatory intervention as authorities activate the power garnered in 2020. Authorities have significantly eroded the value of cash in most countries around the globe, which forces investors to take risks despite overvalued financial markets. This distortion of such a key financial instrument has ramifications across financial markets, the economy and society, leading to all sorts of unusual outcomes.

However, we see opportunities through active management and asset allocation changes to protect clients’ wealth and bolster returns in commodities, emerging markets, hedge funds, and private equity. It’s through these active shifts to portfolios and deliberate risk management that we’re able to protect clients’ capital, contribute towards financial well-being and lift their spirits through challenging times. Notably, 2021 promises to differ from 2020 in many ways yet be potentially similar in others. An end to lockdowns and working from home could create spending exuberance and push risk assets to new heady highs. Many have talked about the roaring 1920s as an analogy after the 1918 Spanish Flu and there are certainly some insights to be gleaned from that period.

But the conditions are also starkly different because government indebtedness, policy control and a lack of market-based capital allocation will hamper the recovery in the years ahead. We believe we are positioned to capitalise on these trends with not only large allocations to equity across portfolios but also large diversification into hedge funds, private markets, corporate bonds, emerging markets and commodities. We remain vigilant of increasing volatility and are committed to providing clients with a stable journey towards their savings goals.

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. 2016 to 2020) 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 2020 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

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.
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.
Bias
Active Return
A particular tendency, trend, or opinion, especially one that is preconceived or unreasoned
The difference in returns between a fund and its benchmark at each point in time.
Black swan
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.\
A black swan is an unpredictable event that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has potentially severe consequences. Black swan events can cause catastrophic damage to an economy by negatively impacting markets and investments, but even the use of robust modeling cannot prevent a black swan event.
Alpha
Bonds
Alpha is a measurement of the performance of an investment portfolio against a benchmark. The alpha is the return the fund or portfolio makes, relative to the return of the benchmark.
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.
ALBI (All Bond Index)
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.
Asset Class
BSAGI (Barclays SA Government Inflation Linked 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.
Capped SWIX (FTSE JSE Capped SWIX All Share Index)
Assets Under Management (AuM)
A popular index used to benchmark performance for South African equity portfolios. This index includes 99% of the full market cap of eligible JSE listed companies. The constituents are weighted by applying a SWIX free float which represents the proportion of a constituent’s share capital on the South African share register. In addition each constituent weight is capped at 10% at each quarterly review.
The market value of assets held by an investment manager on behalf of clients.
Composite
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.
A group of similarly managed portfolios within a single investment manager and typically defined within the investment managers’ GIPS™ policy.

Composite Dispersion
Developed Markets
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 1st and 3rd quartile (inter-quartile range); the standard deviation of returns, or mean absolute deviation.
A developed or an advanced market in investing terms is a country that is most developed in terms of its economy and financial markets.
Compound Rate of Return 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.
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.
Diversification A portfolio strategy to reduce exposure to risk by investing in various instruments or asset classes, such as equities, bonds and property that are unlikely to move in the same direction at the same time. In other words, the process of spreading investments among different instruments or markets to reduce the overall risk or loss if one performs poorly.
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
CPI (Consumer Price Index)
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.
CPI is an estimate of the inflation rate measuring the price of goods and services in the economy.
Emerging Markets
Credit
Emerging markets are economies that show some of the traits of developed economies but aren’t quite at the same level yet.
Credit risk refers to the risk that a bond issuer will default on any type of debt by failing to make required payments, i.e. probability that the bond issuer will make debt payments late.
Equities
CRISA The Code for Responsible Investing in South Africa (CRISA) gives guidance on how the institutional investors should execute investment analysis and investment activities and exercise rights so as to promote sound governance. The CRISA code requires asset managers that adopt it to publicly disclose their policies and methods of incorporating ESG factors into the investment process.
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.
Defined Contribution Employer and employee contribute an agreed amount every month. When the employee retires, the accumulated capital amount and growth are used to purchase a pension from a third-party supplier.
160
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.
ESG Environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria are a set of standards for a company’s operations that socially conscious investors use to screen potential investments. Environmental criteria consider how a company performs as a steward of nature. Social criteria examine how it manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where it operates. Governance deals with a company’s leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights.
Fixed Income A major category of asset class that includes cash, nominal bonds, inflation linked bonds and credit instruments.
Frontier Markets Frontier markets are less advanced capital markets in the developing world. Frontier markets are countries that are more established than the least developed countries (LDCs) but still less established than the emerging markets. Frontier markets are also known as “pre-emerging markets.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an international organization that aims to promote global economic growth and financial stability, encourage international trade, and reduce poverty.
Halaal Halal refers to something that is permissible according to Islamic law. To be considered acceptable, a business transaction must be based on an Islamic contract form, distribute risk and return among the parties to the contract, and avoid unacceptable activities, including interest and uncertainty. To determine whether a stock is halal, Muslim investors evaluate companies based on levels of debt, interest income, and liquidity, as well as participation in prohibited activities.
Haram Haram describes anything that is unacceptable under Shari’ah law. It is considered inappropriate for a Muslim investor to profit from any activity that violates Islamic principles. Certain industries, including alcohol, pornography, gambling, pork, and conventional financial services, are inherently haram.
Hedge Funds These are usually absolute return investment strategies that use alternate investment techniques (e.g. short positions, leverage, etc.). The funds can be used in a Regulation 28 strategy but are not compliant as standalone products.
Impact Investing Impact investing refers to a general investment strategy that not only generates financial returns but also creates a positive social or environmental impact.
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, e.g. CPI.
ILB’s (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.
Inter-quartile Range A statistical measure representing the difference between the medians of the upper half and the lower half of a ranked set of data.
Investment Manager An organisation that invests assets on behalf of third parties for a fee.
Investment Philosophy 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.

Kingmaker An asset class or factor (such as ESG considerations) which has great influence over others’ succession within the portfolio, without being the most viable or obvious option.
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 he 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 alternate trading techniques that allows the manager to buy investment securities with money borrowed or by utilising 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
Passive Investing

Market Capitalisation The value of a company’s issued share capital, i.e. share price multiplied by number of shares on the stock exchange.
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.
Murabahah Murabahah refers to an instalment credit agreement for the sale of tangible goods. The seller acquires an asset, which the buyer agrees to purchase at some point in the future.

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 cost effective 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.
Purification Purification in a Shari’ah investing context refers to getting rid of unacceptable profits. Shariah prohibits Muslims from profiting, even indirectly, from unacceptable practices, so investors are expected to account for and give away any income derived from riba or other haram sources.
Purchasing Power Parity Purchasing power parity (PPP) is an economic theory that compares different countries’ currencies through a “basket of goods” approach. According to this concept, two currencies are in equilibrium or at par when a basket of goods (taking into account the exchange rate) is priced the same in both countries.

The return differential between the risk-free asset (cash) and a risky asset.
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).
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 Bond sectors are Government, Parastatals, State Owned Enterprises, Corporates and Other.
Shari’ah Shari’ah is the divine law of Islam, derived from the Qur’an and other holy texts, which serves as a moral guide to Muslims. The Shari’ah sets guidelines for what is right and wrong in everyday life, including standards for food, family life, and business transactions.
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 investor’s return when all returns are paid out from the portfolio when they are earned.
Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) Socially responsible investing is the practice of investing money in companies and funds that have positive social impacts. Investors should keep in mind that socially responsible investments are still investments, and be sure to weigh the potential for return into their decisions.
Specialist Fund Strategy An investment approach where the asset allocation, investment strategies employed and risk assumed to achieve the specified investment objective 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, etc.) or investment strategies (hedge funds, impact investing, etc.) 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.
Strategic Asset Allocation (SAA) An investment technique that sets the medium to long term allocation to asset classes which will primarily meet the investment objectives within a defined level of risk. Used primarily in specialist fund strategies.
Segregated Portfolio
Sustainability
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.
Sustainability focuses on meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The concept of sustainability is composed of three pillars: economic, environmental, and social—also known informally as profits, planet, and people.
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.
Short Position It is a negative holding in a portfolio that results from using complex alternate 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 he will be able to buy it back later for a lower price and create a profit. This is directly opposite to a long position.
Sustainable Development Goals The Sustainable Development Goals are a collection of 17 global goals designed to be a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all”. The SDGs, set in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and intended to be achieved by the year 2030, are part of UN Resolution 70/1, the 2030 Agenda.

Investment philosophy Philosophy and style AFC employs a multi-disciplinary approach to asset management, involving fundamental as well as behavioural (technical) forms of analysis.
Investment mandates
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.

Afena follows a valuation-based investment approach. Their investment philosophy is to buy businesses below their assessment of intrinsic value. They estimate the value of a business based on its normal through-the-cycle operating performance. This forces them to be patient long-term investors as they believe that share prices ultimately reflect a business’s true economics, and not its short-term performance. This also means they tend to favour businesses they understand with good long-term economics.
Investment mandates
Afena is a bottom-up stock-picking house with a strong commitment to insightful proprietary research. They are disciplined and consistent in the execution of their philosophy.

Investment philosophy Our philosophy is based on the belief that the market continually and regularly misprices assets. Mispricings occur regularly because investors either underestimate risks or do not recognise potential. We try to understand these risks and appreciate the scale of opportunities better than the market does.

Significant opportunities are created for those few who are diligent with the fundamentals. Our ambition is simply to buy a share where the market has undervalued it relative to intrinsic value or to sell a share when the prevailing price is far in excess of intrinsic value. We determine a company’s intrinsic value by forecasting cash flows through financial modelling. In everything we do we exercise caution and act conservatively. We express this by including a wide margin for error in forecasting and by limiting our exposure to unquantifiable risks.

Investment philosophy Allan Gray’s investment philosophy is valuation oriented 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 indicate 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 We seek to provide sustainable risk- adjusted returns over the long term. The philosophy is based on three principles: ■ Risk-adjusted returns can be maximised by actively extracting value from as many alpha sources as possible ■ Focused diversification of risk across these sources should generate consistent performance in all market conditions ■ Incremental, consistent alpha that compounds over time ensures a low volatility portfolio that generates competitive active return in a predictable fashion, through all stages of the investment cycle

Within the other traditional strategies, we follow both passive and active investment strategies that are domestically, regionally (e.g. pan Africa; West Africa; India; and China), and globally focused across a broad range of asset classes. Within the alternative strategies, our private equity, commercial real estate, hedge fund, infrastructure and credit solutions form a complementary suite that augments the traditional solutions on offer. Our investment teams in South Africa and Jersey spend a great deal of time analysing macro-economic, regional and company specific information to generate tangible value within their specific area of focus. Each one of these other complementary investment capabilities has its own unique investment philosophy and process that lead to superior risk-adjusted returns for our clients.
Investment philosophy
FAIS requirements
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, we have multiple investment capabilities within our business that span both traditional and alternative strategies. For one of our core investment capabilities, the Multi-asset strategy, our investment philosophy is encapsulated below: ■ It is our belief that asset allocation delivers the bulk of a multi-asset portfolio return. We therefore follow a top-down approach as a first step in the investment process; ■ We focus on determining the key investment drivers across asset classes (themes). Thus there is a themedriven 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 we are 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 we are style agnostic. It is our contention that value, growth and momentum styles of investment vary through the business cycle. We are biased towards thematic drivers, more so than specific investment styles; ■ Within equity selection, we focus on growth at a reasonable value as we 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; ■ We are 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 we are high- conviction investors. This is achieved through investing in concentrated portfolios of between18 and 30 shares;

Please provide the percentage held by staff and management: Ashburton is 100% owned by the FirstRand Group. Staff ownership is at FirstRand Group level
History When was the company established? Ashburton Investments forms the fourth pillar of the FirstRand Group alongside RMB, Wesbank and FNB. Ashburton is 100% owned by FirstRand Limited. Ashburton’s history dates to the genesis of Ashburton Jersey in 1982. FirstRand is committed to having a prominent asset manager as part of its financial service offering. Therefore, after RMB Asset Management was spun off to Momentum, a process was started to consolidate all remaining Group asset management functions under Ashburton. The businesses that were consolidated under the Ashburton brand are, the investment management arm of RMB Private Bank, BJM Multimanager, Ashburton Jersey and the retail stockbroking business of FNB. The business in its current form has been in operation since 2013. The investment process for our Houseview Balanced Portfolios was however established in 1999 and has therefore been in existence for 19 years initially as Ansbacher, then as RMB Private Bank and currently as Ashburton Investments. It should be noted that, as a new generation manager, we seek to provide investors 182

Investment philosophy BlueAlpha’s investment philosophy and process are focused on identifying companies that have a track record of long-run value creation (Quality & Growth). We focus on businesses that generate high returns on invested capital, which translates into real economic profit (as opposed to accounting profit). These companies typically generate strong cash flows, which they can reinvest for growth. We focus on three main pillars in our process: 1. Value Creation the ability of a company to create economic value (Economic Profit, Return on Capital and Strong Free Cash Flow are the focus). 2. Growth Potential – whether a company has the broad ability to grow into the future. 3. Quant Signals – these in-house models are used as confirmation of our research, as well as a screening tool for new ideas and as part of our sell discipline.

Investment philosophy Cadiz seeks to invest in good quality businesses with capable management in place, which are exposed to low financial risk, while trading at a value which is substantiated by its future earnings ability. We believe that markets are inefficient in the short term, driven by emotion rather than reason. Cadiz strives to remain rational and objective taking advantage of market inefficiencies and creating value for our clients.

In order to identify these opportunities, Cadiz follows a sound, systematic and disciplined top-down bottom-up fundamental approach. Cadiz is disciplined in buying assets when we are convinced that there is an asymmetric pay-off profile for the investment. This limits the potential for permanent capital loss and enables Cadiz to create value for their clients while assuming the least amount of risk.

Yet, there is a place for active investing: the price you pay for an investment is the primary determinant of your investment return, and mispriced assets can create specific opportunities that are particularly handsome.
FAIS FSP registration number: 736 Switchboard: +27 11 407 3530/3533 General email: info@cannonassets.co.za Address: 1 Park Lane, Wierda Valley, Sandton, 2196 Compliance officer name: Johan Van Zyl +27 61 491 1585
Costs matter. We build effective investments by buying the right assets at the right price while keeping a keen eye on fees and portfolio management costs to ensure we deliver reliable results to all our clients across all our offerings. Significantly, our investment process and business model are not dependent on “personalities” or specific individuals to be successful, and our ownership structure enables us to maintain independence in our thinking, a feature that is uncommon – yet invaluable – in the world of investment management.
Investment philosophy Cannon Asset Managers has a 20-year track record built on an investment philosophy that is founded on three core principles.
All our portfolios carry these same chromosomes, although the emphasis may change from one investment to another, based on mandate directives such as tracking error constraints; geographic or industry bias; or an emphasis on a specific factor, such as company size, dividends or cash flow, to name a few examples. In this way, we offer each of our clients a robust, time-tested solution that suits their investment need.
1 Effective investment management must start with managing risk before considering returns. 2 Asset allocation is the single most important determinant of long-term investment results. 3 Gains in technology, gains in access to data and an ever-growing body of investment knowledge mean that capital markets are increasingly efficient, with the implication being that “owning the market” is generally the most effective and efficient way in which to achieve investment results.
FAIS requirements Who is your FAIS complaints officer? Johan Van Zyl Please provide the link to the complaints policy on your website: https://www.cannonassets.co.za/admin/resources/ complaints-policy.pdf
However, portfolio results can benefit in several ways from investment knowledge, including tactical asset allocation; portfolio construction; and the identification of mispriced individual assets, which makes a place for active management alongside passive management.

We also recognise that the investment industry is in an almost-constant state of change, which means we never stop learning from our decisions, the experiences of others and the world at large. Being secured in a sound philosophy, with the ability to continuously develop our process through improved data, refined models or deeper knowledge, gives our investment team a strength that translates into sustainable investment results. In practice, these views lead to an investment process that recognised asset allocation as the dominant factor in ensuring the investment exposure and asset class diversification needed to deliver results. The most powerful factor is time, and long holding periods handsomely reward patient investors.

Investment philosophy Property – Income – Security Catalyst Fund Managers’ view is that real estate is a separate asset class, providing diversification benefits to a multi-asset class portfolio resulting in enhanced riskadjusted returns. They are strong advocates of listed real estate as a long-term investment and follow a rigorous process in the analysis of listed real estate securities. The team follows a bottom-up approach in assessing the sustainability and growth of income streams by focusing primarily on key underpins, specifically considered to be the quality of property portfolios, management teams and the capital structure of the business.
GIPS
Their primary consideration in identifying intrinsic value is the total return profile for investors, comprised of capital appreciation as well as an income/yield component from regular dividends, which tend to grow closely with inflation over time.

Their philosophy also drives their independent internal company research capability, which consolidates property knowledge with company-specific features. This, together with consistently applied valuation methodology designed specifically for listed property assessment, differentiates them from their competitors and allows them to add real value to their clients’ portfolios.

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 longterm 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 Our investment philosophy is valuation based, focused on long-term thinking and assessing the key variables of what drives value in a business. We invest in businesses that we believe are selling at a discount to our assessment of their intrinsic value. Various valuation methods are used to determine the value of a business and normalisation of earnings forms a key part of assessing through-thecycle intrinsic value. We also consider the probability of outcomes around our valuation and the possible timeframes over which value can be unlocked. Included in the valuation process are both quantitative and qualitative factors to help evaluate the key revenue drivers of the business, its risks/rewards and the industry dynamics in which the business operates. The key aspects of our philosophy include: ■ Taking a business approach; ■ Looking for a margin of safety; ■ Taking advantage of fear and greed; ■ Not basing investments on macro forecasting, and ■ Taking a long-term approach.

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, highquality companies appear to be an anomaly delivering higher returns with lower risk.
GIPS Are you GIPS compliant? Yes Are you GIPS verified? Yes By whom have you been verified? PricewaterhouseCoopers Date of verification: July 2016 Expiry date of verification: –
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. 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.

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.

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.
History
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.

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.

Ownership What is the ownership structure of the company?

Henk Beets, Andrew Canter, Paul Rackstraw, Dinao Lerutla, Hywel George, Gcinikhaya Gobodo Interest in ownership? Please provide the percentage held by staff and management: 18.8%
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.
History When was the company established? 2000 List of mergers that have taken place since being established: 2008 – OMIGSA became the majority shareholder
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.
B-BBEE credentials Are you B-BBEE accredited? Yes What is your B-BBEE status? Level 2 By whom have you been accredited? AQRate Date of accreditation: 2019-05-28
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 longterm, 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 201

GIPS
Investment philosophy The Granate Fixed Interest philosophy is focused on maximising risk-adjusted returns by actively extracting value from a range of sources within the Fixed Interest market. Our philosophy avoids forecasting and uses the concept of risk compensation as its central pillar. The domestic fixed interest market, like all capital markets, is not fully efficient at times. This, together with the segmented nature of this market, creates opportunities for extracting value across a range of aspects, including choice of asset class, duration management, yield curve positioning, credit exposure, sector rotation and security selection.

Both our investment philosophy and process are geared towards seeking opportunities arising from mispricing and we believe we have the capability, experience and research depth to be able to implement this philosophy and process successfully across a variety of different mandates. This philosophy has been in place since 2006 and there have been no significant changes to the philosophy over time.

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 considered assessment of 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 investor 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.

The future is never certain 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.
Key investment personnel
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.

We believe that our strategy will perform best in times following abnormal market volatility, because during the volatile periods, prices tend to overshoot fundamental valuations, which provides opportunities to take positions in those stocks. During strong bull markets, our performance is likely to lag on a relative basis. During periods of range trading, our performance is likely to be worst on a relative basis.

Ownership
Investment philosophy
What is the ownership structure of the company? The company was started in August 2008 with Murray Winckler and Gavin Vorwerg (founders) each owning 41.6% and Artha Capital Management owning the remaining 9.2%. In 2014, Craig Sorour was appointed as a director of Laurium capital and acquired 7.5% ownership of the company. All existing shareholders were diluted pro rata.
Laurium uses value driven, fundamental bottom-up research combined with a macro, top-down overlay to generate a concentrated portfolio of investments that should generate attractive returns over time. Given the relative lack of liquidity and inefficiencies still prevalent on many of the African exchanges, a broad, flexible mandate is believed to be the most effective way to invest in the region. All of our funds are underpinned by a common investment philosophy.
Other key staff have a combination of phantom equity and ordinary equity, aligning them with the business. Refer below the shareholding of the business if phantom shares were to be included in the calculation of all shares issued. Who are the directors of the company? Murray Winckler 37.5%, Gavin Vorwerg 37.5%, Craig Sorour 7.0% Do staff and management have an interest in ownership? Please provide the percentage held by staff and management: Yes, 18%
Bottom-up fundamental research and valuations – the core of our philosophy: We seek to identify companies whose share prices differ materially from our intrinsic valuations, based on longer term, through-the-cycle cash flows and earnings. However, we acknowledge that there are material deviations of share prices from intrinsic valuations for extended periods, and these must be taken into consideration in the risk management of a valuation-driven stock-picking process.
History When was the company established? 2008 List of mergers that have taken place since being established: –
Top-down views – an important overlay: Identifying and taking advantage of economic cycles and market trends is an important contributor to the generation of superior long-term investment returns and is complementary to bottom-up research. However, cycles and trends are often unpredictable and are subject to change. Therefore, the risk of being wrong must be acknowledged and managed.
B-BBEE credentials Are you B-BBEE accredited? – What is your B-BBEE status? – By whom have you been accredited? – Date of accreditation: –
Trading – a part of both bottom-up and top-down research: The market is right most of the time, but regular inefficiencies arise in the short term. Shorter-term inefficiencies may present trading opportunities, irrespective of a company’s intrinsic value. These opportunities often arise due to large flows of money, news flow and emotions, structural inefficiencies, corporate actions, and other special situations or events.

Investment philosophy We are a style agnostic long- term investor. We believe that Fundamental Research and Engagement, taken together, form the basis of mutually beneficial long-term relationships between shareholders and companies. We adopt rigorous fundamental analysis to identify companies that have the ability to grow profits faster than average over long periods of time. We use ESG research to generate a holistic picture of the enterprise and its operating model, insights that are not considered when you simply look at financial statements. Furthermore, it provides us with an opportunity to benchmark different companies and provides us with a better understanding of why a company’s financial metrics or performance may be substantially different from others. That could lead to a hidden risk that’s uncovered, or a promising opportunity that is unveiled. Hence, ESG integration can be seen as a natural step in the evolution of long-term investment.

The four key components of our philosophy are as follows: Active Management: We believe that although the market is hard to beat consistently, it is still inefficient. There are opportunities for skilled investors to generate excess returns, and it is for this reason that we believe in active management. Therefore, we actively manage our investment portfolios with a benchmark-cognisant mindset. Growth Investing: We believe that buying companies whose earnings are growing much faster than average leads to the outperformance of the market in the long run. We concentrate on finding companies that have a clear prospect of unusually rapid increases in earnings, as we believe that this presents the best way to outperform the market.
History When was the company established? 2017 List of mergers that have taken place since being established: –
Process: We believe that long-term success comes only from the most rigorous pursuit of disciplines designed to neutralise the emotional pressures that arise when one is responsible for investing other people’s money. We believe that a process that combines human foresight with the discipline of a quantitative framework is likely to generate relatively better investment returns.

History
Address: Mutualpark, Jan Smuts Drive, Pinelands, Cape Town, 7405 PO Box 44604, Claremont, 7735 Compliance officer name: Leah-Joy Williams
When was the company established? Old Mutual Multi-Managers is a specialist investment boutique within the Old Mutual Group. The business was formed in 2013 through the merger of SYm|mETRY MultiManager and the Research and Investment Management team of Acsis. Our business was renamed Old Mutual MultiManagers in 2014.
Investment philosophy The primary focus of Old Mutual Multi-Managers is on ensuring that all our portfolios consistently outperform inflation. We are convinced that this is the single most important consideration for any investor, whether individual, corporate, or retirement fund.
With more unit trusts in South Africa than there are shares listed on the JSE, the South African investment landscape can be complex and intimidating for many investors. Old Mutual Multi-Managers works to demystify this complex environment by offering a range of investment funds and strategies to suit the needs of all types of investors.
Then, with that key objective in place, our investment philosophy builds on this ‘inflation plus’ approach by clearly defining each portfolio’s target objectives and then working to deliver precisely on these objectives.
We deliver specialised investment offerings and administration services for the corporate and institutional clients (including retirement funds) of Old Mutual Corporate and the individual clients of Old Mutual Wealth. Currently we have more than R100 billion in assets under management. List of mergers that have taken place since being established: Old Mutual Multi-Managers was formed through the business consolidation of SYm|mETRY Multi-Manager and the Acsis Research and Investment Management team. The consolidation process began in 2013.
Defining these target objectives ensures that our investment teams and asset managers have clear targets to work towards, which keeps them 100% focused and prevents them from being distracted by market shifts or investor sentiment. Our investment philosophy is underpinned by the three integrated pillars of: ■ a long-term investment horizon; risk diversification across asset classes and asset managers, and ■ a valuation-driven approach that informs all our asset manager and asset selection decisions.

Ownership What is the ownership structure of the company? 85% of the shares in the company are held by directors and staff. The remaining 15% is held by RMI Investment Managers. Perpetua has granted them an option to acquire an additional 10% over the next two years. Who are the directors of the company?

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 of its true value. The investment philosophy is centred on the bottom-up, fundamental research of companies. Perpetua seeks out mispriced, undervalued companies and invests with a longterm and patient view.
History When was the company established? 2012 List of mergers that have taken place since being established: –
Our investment process ensures investments are made according to the convictions of our 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.

We pursue our own interpretation of value investing, termed True Value investing. True Value investing means that: ■ Undervalued shares can be uncovered due to more than one central thesis – from “mean reversion” on one end of what we refer to as Perpetua True Value Continuum 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 onedimensional value investors. Theses can and do change over the lifecycle of the investment. ■ Share attributes or metrics (low or high PE; low or high Price to Book) do not indicate fundamental under or over valuation in isolation.

Investment philosophy Given the efficiency of the South African bond market, we believe that excess returns can be generated by taking active long-term interest rate views while placing less emphasis on market timing. This then necessitates a focus on yield enhancement through identification of and investment in fixed income securities that offer higher value on a relative basis. Prowess’ active approach to fixed income investment management is built upon relative value investing, with the goal of producing excess returns over the long term while minimising volatility. Prowess seeks to build diversified portfolios through: a) active management of issues, sector, quality and yield curve positions; b) focus on yield enhancement through investments in assets that offer higher value on a relative basis; c) seeking credit quality through rigorous research and analysis, and management of credit risk through various credit trends; and d) management of interest rate risk by constraining duration around a client’s target benchmark.

Investment philosophy Prudential are prudent, valuation- based 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 behavioural 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 mispriced 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.
History When was the company established? 1999 List of mergers that have taken place since being established: PSG Tanzanite (PTY) Ltd and Alphen Asset Management (Pty) Ltd merged into PSG Asset Management (Pty) Ltd in 2011
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.
B-BBEE credentials Are you B-BBEE accredited? Yes What is your B-BBEE status? Level 8 By whom have you been accredited? AQRate Date of accreditation: 2020-05-27
Their equity philosophy is guided by their simple checklist of the 3 Ms: 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. 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.
GIPS Are you GIPS compliant? No Are you GIPS verified? No By whom have you been verified? – Date of verification: – Expiry date of verification: –
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.

It is fundamental to their approach that capital must be protected. Rezco’s objective is to preserve capital during times of market weakness and to outperform the overall index during periods that are positive for equities. Their strategy is to acquire interests in well-managed companies for less than they are intrinsically worth, and to timeously position their clients in the correct asset classes. 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. Investments are intended for the long term but they recognise the changes in circumstances that can lead to altered risk levels, necessitating earlier adjustments to the portfolios.

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.
History When was the company established? 1967-11-13 List of mergers that have taken place since being established: –
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.
GIPS Are you GIPS compliant? Yes Are you GIPS verified? Yes By whom have you been verified? PwC Date of verification: 2020-10-01 Expiry date of verification: –
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
Ownership
SMMI believes the market is inefficient in the short term. For various reasons, the market may either under- or overweight the importance of certain information and cause asset prices to deviate from their fair value in the short term. This creates the potential for superior investment managers to take advantage of this deviation between fair value and market price, and to outperform the general market or benchmark substantially over time. Anyone can pick a manager based on past performance. But as we all know, past performance is not an indication of future performance. SMMI’s skill lies in distinguishing between whether outperformance was due to luck, and is therefore unlikely to be repeated; or due to skill, and is therefore repeatable in future.
What is the ownership structure of the company? SMI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sanlam Ltd Who are the directors of the company? Reece Briesies, Shaun Ruiters, Shaheem Jakoet, Thomas van Heerden, Selwyn Pillay, Nersan Naidoo Do staff and management have an interest in ownership? Please provide the percentage held by staff and management: As SMMI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sanlam Ltd, staff and management have no direct ownership interest.
History When was the company established? 2002 List of mergers that have taken place since being established: Merger between Sanlam Multi Manager International and Coris Capital
SMMI also believes that not all managers perform equally well in all phases of the market cycle. At times the market favors a particular investment style, only for another style or bias to outperform at a different time in the cycle. SMMI’s world-class research enables it to distinguish between skillful managers and lucky managers, without being blinded by short term performance noise in the market that happen to favor their particular investment style.

SMMI continuously analyses the performance characteristics of various managers and develops an understanding of their particular way of constructing portfolios. This provides them with insight into how their investment style differs, or where there may be overlaps with other managers. SMMI understands which manager combinations will lead to a concentration or under allocation of risk in the portfolio that ultimately jeopardizes the ability of the portfolio to meet the client’s performance expectations in the long run. When it comes to constructing portfolios, SMMI considers: ■ Who the skillful managers are, ■ The current market and economic environment, ■ How these conditions are likely to change in future.

Whilst the specialist portfolios have different risk and return profiles, the investment philosophy remain consistent across the portfolios. The principles that guide our investment philosophy remain consistent when applied to all asset classes both locally and globally. We do not subscribe to a single stylistic investment philosophy but rather to the core premise of remaining invested and being diverse.
GIPS
We advocate the need to be adaptive to changing market conditions as new information is being disseminated continuously. We are aware that financial markets are generally efficient, but opportunities will present themselves, driven by extreme human behaviour or sentiment. Also, as market participants have varying investment time frames and liquidity requirements, assets may become mispriced on a short-term basis, thereby creating investment opportunities. We also understand that risk (objective dependent) and return are interrelated. Our investment process that combines global macro-economic analysis with fundamental analysis is applied across asset classes. The implementation of the process, however, may differ depending on the objective of the portfolio. (For example, a fixed income portfolio may have different exposures to individual bonds compared to the bonds held in a multi-asset class portfolio due to different investment mandates and objectives.)

Investment philosophy Our investment philosophy is that long-term returns in listed property investment are driven by the underlying fundamentals of the property assets and management, considering systematic and unsystematic risks associated with those fundamentals. We also believe that earnings growth is a key driver to total returns over the medium term, but due regard should be given to the quality of those earnings. We summarise our philosophy as fundamentals at a reasonable price (FARP).

Investment philosophy ■ We begin with a focused and uncompromising commitment to exploiting the highest quality data, systems, processes and people, since these are the controllable factors in an otherwise uncertain investment environment ■ We recognise that asset managers with skill may exist within certain markets or specific market segments or asset classes – they have the ability to deliver returns in excess of their benchmarks or passive alternatives ■ We identify these managers through a rigorous and integrated approach of quantitative and qualitative manager research ■ Using advanced modelling and statistical techniques, we combine these managers with passive alternatives where appropriate, to produce superior net investment returns, with a greater consistency than single mandates, through the diversification of idiosyncratic manager risks ■ Strategic (long-term) and tactical (short-term) asset allocation ensures that portfolios are appropriately designed and maintained to maximise the probability of meeting investment objectives ■ Our systematic and ongoing portfolio management process includes inputs from manager and market research, asset allocation and portfolio construction. This value-add ensures portfolios are efficiently managed and positioned ■ Our investment due-diligence (IDD) process is a full operational due-diligence (ODD) review on managers to ensure they are able to operate as desired for inclusion in our portfolios. The ODD process is run totally independently of the IDD process by the SMM Operations Team and the outcome has a veto right over the final investment decision. ■ Portfolio risk is managed at each and every step of the process to ensure that portfolios are designed, constructed and maintained so as to maximise the chances of achieving the investment objectives within any specified constraints

Investment philosophy The investment process (and thus strategy across funds) focuses on macro-economic principles. Macroeconomics is the study of the economic system as a whole – total production, total consumption, total savings and total investment. The study of macroeconomics is indispensable. As it is the main agent for formulation and successful execution of government economic policies, it is also indispensable for the formulation of microeconomic models. The key drivers of an economy broadly cover national output (measured by GDP), unemployment and inflation.
Investment mandates
Fixed income markets are almost solely driven over time by these broad economic factors. Studying the behaviour of all these units combined provides the most sustainable picture of any fixed income market. Applied in trading the manager implements strategies spread across various timelines, broadly characterised as:

■ Tactical/technical (mostly event-driven – such as over key data releases and monetary/fiscal statements); ■ Structural trading (focusing mostly on technical issues related to intra- market issues – such as switch auctions etc – and their impact on the broader economy); ■ Strategic trading (normally the longest timeline applied – such as trading upside/downside views on GDP/inflation over cycles relative to consensus).

Investment philosophy A single hedge fund is unable to fully harness the opportunity set of the asset class. Style, strategy and source of return diversification is achievable by combining hedge funds. A fund of hedge funds is able to generate an asymmetrical return stream resulting in strong positive compounding.

Investment philosophy Our philosophy is that the market is efficient over the long term in pricing/ valuing companies, but inefficient over the short term. These short-term inefficiencies are largely due to investors extrapolating current good/bad news into perpetuity.
History When was the company established? 2008 List of mergers that have taken place since being established: –
This results in investors either overpaying and overvaluing the businesses, or becoming excessively pessimistic and undervaluing the businesses. This presents us, as an active manager with an opportunity to exploit these inefficiencies between price and value. These inefficiencies are not obvious and can be difficult to identify but, with an experienced team and a rigorous and robust process, it is possible. Truffle’s investment approach is bottom-up, fundamental and valuation-based.

Investment philosophy
When was the company established? 1999 List of mergers that have taken place since being established: None. In June 2010 long-term empowerment partner, the Vunani Group, increased its stake from 11% to a majority 51% shareholding, whilst the controlling company at the time, Peregrine Holdings, retained a meaningful 49% interest.
History
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 the 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 (and whilst this is possible in some cases), Vunani Fund Managers don’t believe it to be the primary source of long-term alpha generation. ■ Specialisation. They believe that specialisation offers the surest path to the achievement of results. ■ 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 it’s 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.
On 15 August 2011 Vunani Fund Managers became 100% owned by Vunani Capital. In February 2019 Vunani Capital allocated 30% of the equity in the company to a staff share scheme. The share scheme is in the form of a participatory rights structure.
