SECTION 1
Introduction
The Manager Watch™ Survey of Retirement Fund Investment Managers is an annual survey that showcases the performance of institutional fund managers in South Africa and has been published since 1994.
The Structure of the Retirement Fund Survey This edition includes fourteen surveys with 60 managers and 412 funds, covering three balanced surveys, ten specialist surveys, and the multi-manager survey. The criteria for participation in any of the surveys remains unchanged from 2010 where a fund size of R200 million as well as a 12-month track record, is prerequisite. The R200 million criteria is applicable to all funds in most survey categories except where it is specifically indicated that this criteria is excluded. Managers are encouraged to submit new entrants into the surveys promptly as we are cognisant of not allowing back-fill bias to skew our historic databases. All participants are, from time to time, expected to sign a document pertaining to participation rules for the Alexander Forbes Manager Watch™ surveys. The following surveys are included: SA Manager Watch™ and Global Manager Watch™ Survey – Balanced Mandates
SA Bond Manager Watch™ Survey SA Money Market Manager Watch™ Survey Absolute Return Manager Watch™ Survey Targeted Development Investment Survey Fund of Hedge Funds Survey SA Property Manager Watch™ Survey Multi-Manager Watch™ Survey Medical Aid Manager Watch™ Survey BEE Manager Watch™ Survey LDI Manager Watch™ Survey Shari'ah Manager Watch™ Survey Each survey shows performance returns over different time periods as well as risk-adjusted performance over a three-year period in figures and an easy to use graphical format. 2018 saw a number of exits as well as new entries to the existing surveys with many managers improving their data delivery standards in order to adhere to the Alexander Forbes data standards. The table on page 7 reflects funds that entered and exited the surveys over the past year, as well as any name changes.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
A glossary of commonly used investment terms is included.
The Manager Watch™ Survey includes commentary around the pertinent issues experienced by funds within this survey over the various periods to December 2018. This serves to inform readers of the themes that the markets are being influenced by.
Conclusion It is important to remember that the surveys provide only a platform for asset managers to display returns in a simple and credible way. Whilst trying to keep these surveys simple and easy to read, it is imperative to include a number of useful indicators for greater understanding of risk and performance.
We also give indicative fee ranges for the different mandates based on fee scales that asset managers submit. We have also differentiated between base fees and performance fees. It is important to note that actual negotiated fees could be lower than published fees.
Manager evaluation should never be done in isolation, but rather with a clear understanding of the weaknesses that any data sources inherently bring to the table. Ideally, analyses need to be done through different market environments using a number of different sources and advice, before a fair assessment of strengths and weaknesses can be made. Lastly, past performance is no indication of future performance – Caveat Emptor!
The keynote article for this year’s publication is entitled: An Increasing Exposure To China In Indices – What Does It Mean For Investors? The article discusses investment strategy from a geographical perspective and goes on further to discuss how difficult it will become for investors to ignore investment in listed Chinese shares. At the end of Section 2 Seeking Alpha, by accident or by design: an article which touches on how investors all over the world seek to maximise their investment outcomes. In this section we also provide an economic review of what happened in 2018 and how balanced managers navigated the prevailing economic conditions.

Section 3 provides the 2019 investment outlook for the global and local economy. It also features the Shari'ah Manager WatchTM Survey which was launched in 2018. With Shari’ah finance and investment increasing in popularity, the Alexander Forbes survey team found it appropriate to add the Alexander Forbes Shari’ah Manager Watch™ Survey to the series of surveys. Shari’ah investing is for people looking to invest based on Islamic principles as well as those just looking to diversify their portfolios.

SECTION 1
Review of AUM for June 2018 Old Mutual Investment Group (OMIG) is still the biggest South African asset manager and saw an increase in assets under management of 10.0%. Coronation Fund Managers followed, and saw an accumulation in AuM due to the reopening of portfolios to new SA institutional clients in March 2017. These products had been closed for five years. Investec Asset Management remained in third position with a 5.9% increase in AuM attributed to a combination of net inflows and positive performance within various underlying strategies. The top 7 investment managers remained in the same positions as 2017 with Nedgroup Investments entering the survey in eighth position and replacing Prudential Portfolio Managers who moved to the tenth position.
The June 2018 survey universe grew by 15 new additions compared to the 47 investment managers in the June 2017 survey. Cadiz Asset Management and Sygnia Asset Management have exited the survey. The Total AuM including Multi Managers increased by 9.5% over the 12 months. The 10 largest investment management companies in South Africa accounted for 68.8% of total AUM including Multi Managers, reflecting a 0.4% decline since June 2017. The next grouping of 10 asset managers (ranked by size) saw a decrease in AuM of 1.6% over the same period, while the balance of the asset managers within the survey universe grew by 2%.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Asset Distribution to Manager BEE ratings The asset distribution shifted in 2018 from Level 2 asset managers with an 8.7% increase in the Level 4 contributors. The change from 2017 to 2018 was indicative of the significant changes in the calculation methodology for the BBBEE (Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment) scorecard some of which were automatic recognition levels for large black owned enterprises, awarded points for procurement spend with empowering suppliers and the youth employment service initiative. Some companies feel that these changes may lead to possible downgrading of their current BBBEE ratings.

An increasing exposure to China in indices – what does it mean for investors?
14
SECTION 1
Economic exposure Investors choose to either invest in indices or use indices as benchmarks that define the universe in which they expect managers to invest. Investors would generally hope that the index they choose will capture the desired economic exposure that they are seeking. But this is often not the case. For example, it is estimated that non-South African factors drive in excess of 50% of earnings of shares included in South African equity indices. Africa ex-South African share indices struggle to capture direct African frontier exposure owing to the large portion of the wealth of Africa that is held either in private or government hands or through offshore companies listed on other stock exchanges.
China economic exposure China is a particular example of the misalignment between so-called economic exposure and its exposure in indices, with a low level of Chinese shares being represented in indices as opposed to its large global economic share. The International Monetary Fund World Economic Outlook for April 2018 indicates that on a nominal GDP basis, the United States (US) ranks highest at 23.3% with China second at 16.1%. Based on purchasing power parity, however, China ranked highest at 18.7% with the US at 15.1%.

Chinese exposure in indices And yet the exposure to China in global equity indices has been a fraction of its economic exposure, not least because investing in Chinese shares has been complex, with foreign investors historically only able to invest in certain classes of shares as shown in the summary table above. China shares accessible to foreigners have for some time been included in indices and represent approximately 30% of the MSCI Emerging Market (EM) index. Chinese A-shares have, however, been excluded from indices until partial inclusion commenced by MSCI on 1 June 2018. China A-shares are stocks of companies incorporated in China, listed in China and traded in local currency only. Despite the Chinese A-share market being the world’s second largest equity market after the US, foreign investors have had limited ability to own these shares. Until November 2014, foreign investors could only access China A-shares through Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII) or Renminbi Qualified Institutional
16
Investor (RQFII) schemes, which came into effect in 2002 and 2011. The QFII and RQFII schemes allowed investors to apply for a quota to invest in China A-shares. Restrictions existed on the types of organisations that could apply as well as allocation size and ability to repatriate capital. The Chinese authorities, in line with an expressed commitment to the opening of access to the mainland China equity market, introduced the Stock Connect programme in 2014. Stock Connect is a link between the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, which expanded the connection between the mainland Chinese stock market and the rest of the world. In late 2016, a similar link was established between the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. The daily quota on Stock Connect was quadrupled from 1 May 2018 to increase liquidity in time for the MSCI’s inclusion of 226 local currency, locally listed Chinese companies in its EM index on 1 June 2018.
SECTION 1
Inclusion in MSCI indices The inclusion of these 226 China A-shares in the MSCI’s global equity indices on 1 June 2018 represented 2.5% of the A-Share market, increased to 5% in September 2018. The illustrations on the right illustrate the current 5% of the China A-shares representing 0.8% of the MSCI EM index, compared with how the index will look once 100% of the China A-shares are included, which means that an estimated 42% of the EM index will then be exposed to China shares.

34.3% Others
China
The initial impact of the inclusion of the A-shares has been limited but in the longer term the inclusion will have a significant impact, especially for EM benchmarked portfolios where China exposure will grow to be in excess of 40%. Based on the Korea and Taiwan inclusions as a guide, this may take five to ten years to fully take place. The addition of A-shares has had even less effect on the China exposure in the MSCI All Country Index (ACWI) with a total China exposure of 3.3% at 31 October 2018 after inclusion of the A-shares.
Other index providers FTSE Russell has indicated (September 2018) that it will decide in the near future whether to include China-listed equities in its indices, potentially with a heavier weighting than the current 0.8% weighting used by the MSCI. S&P Dow Jones has initiated consultation (closed 15 October 2018) on the inclusion issue, noting that historically China A-shares have been excluded from S&P Dow Jones’s Global Benchmark Indices owing to limited foreign investor access. Whilst the expansion of the investment options available to foreign investors for China A-shares has been encouraging, concerns remain for S&P Dow Jones, including: currency repatriation limits for foreign investors the high amount of voluntary stock suspensions in the Chinese market

Investment opportunities Despite concerns regarding access and voluntary suspensions, the China A-Share market may be attractive to investors for many reasons. The Chinese A-share market has over 3 000 shares and a market capitalisation in excess of USD8 trillion, second only to the US. Chinese A-shares make up approximately 70% of the market capitalisation of all Chinese listed stocks, with a significant level of diversification. The market is the most liquid in the world with an aggregate trading volume exceeding that of the New York and Nasdaq stock exchanges combined.

Historically, Chinese A-shares have exhibited a low correlation with global equity markets, to a large extent because they are still mainly driven by local retail investors, who own more than 75% of the shares. The correlation with other markets will increase over time as markets open up, but this will take time to realise. 5-year correlation of Chinese A-shares with four major indices

Investment risks However, investors need to be aware of the risks involved in investing in China A-shares, not least the concerns about Chinese corporate governance and market practices which have not necessarily improved since the MSCI previously rejected inclusion of A-shares in its indices. It is hoped that the MSCI inclusion will create an opportunity for Chinese companies to align their corporate governance practices with international standards. A 2017 MSCI report on corporate governance in China identified several major areas of concern, including: a lack of an independent chair and board majority controlling shareholder and related party transaction conflicts limited protection rights for shareholders Although the market is large and liquid, it is subject to significant volatility and has suffered from liquidity droughts, especially in July 2015 when more than half of the 2 800 companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges were able to suspend trading of their shares through a stock suspension mechanism that allows companies to apply to regulators for a trading halt.
SECTION 1
The market has experienced high levels of stock suspensions with between 5% and 10% of listings suspended on any day. In the light of this, it should be noted that MSCI has made the decision to exclude stocks that have been subject to trading suspensions for more than 50 days in the past 12 months. Investors may also be concerned about the potential for government intervention, given that the Chinese authorities have exhibited a strong inclination towards control of their financial markets. The Chinese government's ability to impose restrictions on stock trading without prior notice or public discussion remains a significant concern. During China’s stock market crash in 2015, the authorities intervened by punishing short selling, suspending initial public offerings, urging fund managers to buy more stocks and providing central bankbacked funds to boost share prices.
What does it mean for investors? Investment in listed Chinese shares will be difficult for investors to ignore as they become a larger and larger portion of EM and all world indices. Key takeaways for investors include the following:

Nominal Bonds
Purely passive investors investing into either all-country indices or a combination of developed markets (DM) and EM indices will take on more exposure to Chinese as A-shares are added to the all-country and EM indices. Given the large portion that China will represent in the EM indices in future and the concerns that investors may have about this exposure, some passive investors may consider splitting their investments between DM, EM ex-China and China indices, with the potential for active over- or underallocation between these sub-sectors. Investors who allocate active mandates to managers will need to consider whether current all-country or EM indices are appropriate for defining the universe for existing active managers, or whether separate China or China A-share mandates should be considered. The research process and skill set required for active selection within the A-share universe is likely to require significantly different approaches given the diverse conditions and factors currently driving this market. Irrespective, investors will need to consider whether existing investment approaches and risk measures sufficiently capture the different characteristics that A-shares may have compared with other sub-sectors of their investment universes.

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.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
How managers performed in 2018
2017 delivered positive returns when the JSE and global equities (MSCI Emerging Markets) surged over 20% for the year and most other asset classes delivering double digit returns. 2018 stood in stark contrast with financial markets both locally and abroad, having experienced a tumultuous year.
With both global and local backdrops unfavourable, 2018 asset class returns were poor across a broad range of asset classes and geographies. Market dynamics that influenced performance globally include: Global equities, represented by the MSCI All Countries World Index (ACWI), returned -8.9% in US dollar terms, driven by declines in both advanced economies and emerging market equities. The Citi World Government Bond Index (WGBI) and global corporate bonds returned -0.8% and -3.6%, which was still negative but better than equities. Commodity markets were impacted by China’s economic slowdown and geopolitical concerns in the Middle East, resulting in a 4.9% decline in the commodity price index.
24
South African markets mirrored global markets in terms of poor market performance, which was made worse by the negative domestic economic news developments. Market dynamics that influenced performance domestically include: The JSE All Share Index returned -8.5% for the year, with the decline being broad-based across small, medium and large caps. Industrials (INDI25) returned -17.6%, while the financial sector returned -8.8%, for the year. Resources (RESI20) bucked the trend, with a 15.5% return. Bonds (ALBI) and cash (STEFI) were the best performers for the year, with 7.7% and 6.6%, respectively. Property (JSAPY) didn't recover much from earlier declines, returning -25.3% for the year.
SECTION 2
For the year, the majority of the SA Best Investment View (BIV) managers kept their asset allocation relatively stable with the exception of Coronation and Investec, who increased their allocation to equities by 5% and 9% respectively over their position in December 2017 and STANLIB and Prescient who decreased their equity allocation by 8%. All managers in the SA BIV category had negative returns for the year with Allan Gray and Foord being the two best performers. The most significant contributors to Allan Gray’s outperformance relative to the ALSI were Sasol and the manager’s underweight position in MTN with their largest detractors from relative performance being their underweight position in BHP Billiton and their overweight position in British American Tobacco. From an asset class perspective, the principal contributor to absolute returns was Allan Gray’s fixed Income exposure while equities were the most significant detractor. Good asset allocation decisions contributed to Foord’s performance for the year. Of all the managers in the SA BIV category, Foord’s allocation to equities was the lowest. Holding an underweight position in equities and listed property as well as having a full allocation to domestic government bonds added value. The worst performing manager for the year was Coronation followed by Bridge. While these two managers had a relatively high exposure to equities, of all the managers in the SA BIV category they had the highest exposure to listed property. Bridge’s underperformance relative to its peers, came as a result of its significant exposure of 24.4% to SA Listed Property as at December 2018. The Global Best Investment View significantly underperformed the domestic mandates with a 7.7% differential between the medians. For the year, the majority of the managers in this category kept their domestic asset allocation relatively stable with the exception of Ashburton who increased their allocation to equities by 7.9% over their position in December 2017. Most managers remain close to the limits of 30% for investment in international assets allowed by Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act.
Nedgroup and Rezco were the best performing managers in the Global BIV category for the year. Dollar denominated SA bank subordinated debt, precious metal miners and financials contributed to Nedgroup’s performance. In an environment of tough equity markets, bank subordinated debt fared well. Rezco reversed a poor 2017 by being one of the strongest performing managers in 2018 returning 1.6% in a year where only three managers in the peer group achieving a positive return. Rezco’s main contributors to performance were Discovery, Palladium and avoiding Steinhoff whose share price was decimated at the end of 2017. While 2017 seemed to be the year of the multi-manager with the two best performers in the Global BIV category being Old Mutual Multi-Managers and Momentum Multi-Managers, 2018 was a reversal of fortunes for these two multi-managers. Asset allocation decisions relating to domestic and global equities as well as global bonds detracted from Momentum’s performance resulting in it being the worst performer in the category for the year. Looking at the SA and Global BIV surveys over the 1 year period, Alexander Forbes Investments and Investec delivered consistent performances. Alexander Forbes Investments ranked fourth and fourth in the two surveys respectively, while Investec ranked third and fifth respectively. Alexander Forbes Investments’ asset allocation and stock selection contributed to performance for the year. Holding underweight positions in domestic equities and property and being overweight cash added to outperformance. Within offshore, global equities, being overweight IT and healthcare sectors and underweight energy benefitted relative to peers. Investec’s underweight position in domestic property as well as their active allocation to domestic bonds has been positive contributors to returns from an asset allocation perspective. Their allocation to commodities, specifically Palladium also added to returns in 2018.
Of the 27 managers, only 9 were lower than the limit of 30% by more than 4%. Kagiso was the lowest at 14.5% followed by Cadiz and Ashburton at 14.4% and 7.5% respectively.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
A review of 2018: negative returns all-round Global growth moderated but the US outperformed
Trump tariffs hampered trade and introduced volatility
2018 came to an end in a disappointing fashion, after starting with positive expectations for the global economic growth outlook and therefore financial markets. It seemed, at the time, that we were going to experience an expansion in both emerging and advanced economies, but that wasn’t the case. According to the International Monetary Fund, global economic growth for 2018 was 3.7% – slightly lower than the 3.8% recorded in 2017. The moderation in global growth was due to a slowdown in both advanced and emerging economies. In the advanced economies, growth was weaker in many countries except in the United States where corporate tax cuts boosted the economy. In emerging markets, the slowdown was driven by weaker growth in Asia (especially China), Russia, emerging Europe, Nigeria and South Africa.
In addition to the unfavourable impact of lower growth, higher inflation and increasing interest rates, portfolio returns were negatively impacted by trade policy decisions and geopolitical tensions. In particular, the decision by US President Donald Trump to impose import tariffs on solar panels (30%–50%), steel (25%) and aluminium (10%) from several countries, including China, hampered global trade and resulted in volatile financial markets. Furthermore, financial markets were impacted by Trump’s trade policy, which included the renegotiation of the North Atlantic Free Trade Area (NAFTA) – a trade agreement between the US, Mexico and Canada.
UK Brexit and Italy’s budget problems dent sentiment in Europe Global inflation increased Despite the weaker global economic growth, inflation rose to 3.8% in 2018 from 3.2% in 2017 – driven by a pickup in both advanced and emerging economies, which resulted in several global central banks increasing interest rates. The four interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve were more impactful for financial market performance. They led to the appreciation of the US dollar against other currencies and a sell-off in risky assets, including emerging market bonds and equities as investors saw better return opportunities in the US than elsewhere.
5.0%
Brexit (the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union) negotiations are ongoing; however, the outcome remains uncertain. Prime Minister Teresa May have so far failed to get a deal that is acceptable with UK law makers. The UK is scheduled to leave the EU on March 2019 but several steps need to take place before then, beginning with a parliamentary vote on Plan B on 29 January. Currently, both revoking Article 50 – the provision that triggered Brexit – and extending the negotiation period seem impossible. In addition to Brexit uncertainties, Italy continues to battle with high debt levels which are higher than Eurozone prescribed levels. Consequently, the uncertainty that had a negative effect on the UK and Eurozone stock markets and trade in 2018 will continue in 2019.

SECTION 2
Emerging markets affected by Argentina’s debt and Turkey’s currency problems Argentinian debt issues as well as Turkey’s currency problems all combined over the course of the year and shifted sentiment away from emerging markets, which resulted in currency depreciation against the US dollar, and bond and equity markets sell-off.
Political and policy uncertainties in South Africa remain a risk Being a small open economy, the South African economy and financial markets are always impacted by global factors, which have been largely negative for the year 2018. As was the case for the past several years, domestic, political and policy uncertainties reduced consumer and business confidence, which weakened economic activity and introduced financial market volatility. The February budget review and the October mini-budget both disappointed, showing a rise in public debt with low economic growth. A change in finance ministers, the constant attack on the independence of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) and the adoption of the expropriation of land without compensation by the ruling party’s elective conference in December 2017 all had a negative effect on markets.
The SARB cut and hiked interest rates in one year From an economic point of view, inflation declined to a low of 3.8% in March 2018, which resulted in the SARB cutting interest rates to 6.5% from 6.75%. However, the rise in oil prices and the depreciation of the rand against the US dollar led to several increases in petrol prices, pushing inflation higher over the course of the year. In its assessment of risks to inflation at the November 2018 Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), the SARB projected a higher inflation profile with upside risks and resolved to hike interest rates by 0.25% to 6.75%, essentially bringing interest rates to the same level to where they started the year at.

South Africa’s economy entered a technical recession Owing to low household and business confidence, economic growth was poor in 2018. In fact, the economy entered a technical recession as GDP growth contracted by 2.6% and 0.7% in the first and second quarters, before rebounding into positive territory in the third quarter. We expect growth for 2018 as a whole to be between 0.5% and 0.7%.
Return environment shifted from low expectations to negative in 2018 With both global and local backdrops unfavourable, 2018 asset class returns were poor across a broad range of asset classes and geographies. Global equities, represented by the MSCI All Countries World Index
(ACWI), returned -8.9% in US dollar terms, driven by declines in both advanced economies and emerging market equities. With poor returns in equities, bonds provided better returns as they usually perform better during times of uncertainty. The Citi World Government Bond Index (WGBI) and global corporate bonds returned -0.8% and -3.6%, which is still negative but better than equities. Commodity markets were impacted by China’s economic slowdown and geopolitical concerns in the Middle East, resulting in a 4.9% decline in the commodity price index. South African markets mirrored global markets in terms of poor market performance, which was made worse by the negative domestic economic news developments. The JSE All Share Index returned -8.5% for the year, with the decline being broad-based across small, medium and large caps. Industrials (INDI25) returned -17.6%, while financials returned -8.8%, for the year. Resources (RESI20) bucked the trend, with a 15.5% return. Bonds (ALBI) and cash (STEFI) were the best performers for the year, with 7.7% and 6.6%, respectively. Property (JSAPY) didn’t recover much from earlier declines, returning -25.3% for the year.

Global Balanced Manager Watch™ Survey – Dynamic Objective: The portfolios are balanced (multi-asset class) portfolios, subject to the restrictions imposed by Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act and aim to maximise long-term (more than 5 years) capital growth. This may lead to volatility of returns in the short term (less than one year). The statistics represent the various categories that portfolios are represented in but only for those managers that are open to new investments.

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

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Seeking alpha
– by accident or by design?
52
SECTION 2
Investors all over the world seek to maximise their investment outcomes by choosing the best investment fund. In South Africa alone, the investment opportunity is vast, with in excess of 1 500 unit trusts on offer. This immense array of investment options available leaves investors in an obvious conundrum – how do they determine which fund has the best possible chance of reaching their investment goals? So why is choosing the correct fund and sticking with an investment strategy important? The various approaches taken by investment managers across the country are evident when comparing how differently funds with similar risk profiles and benchmarks can perform. These different performance outcomes can cause investors to switch between funds depending on their performance during a particular cycle. This can lead to the disastrous effect of selling low and buying high – crystallising losses only to experience the newly acquired investment decreasing in value as the cycle changes. This makes the assessment of which investment managers are able to provide investors consistently with superior returns crucial, but is also no easy feat. Most professional investors would agree that investing is a mix of luck and skill. If one believes that luck is fleeting, then it is manager skill that should be central to any investment decision. Measures based purely on past performance, or even riskadjusted performance, often fail to differentiate between the impact of skill and luck in investment outcomes. The reason for this is that past performance is not an indication of future performance – a well-known and widely used disclaimer within the investment industry. Why then do the most prestigious awards that aim to recognise exceptional funds and managers across the country base their assessment on this exact metric? Although the importance of rewarding fund managers that have performed well in the past cannot be disputed, these awards do little to evaluate the level of skill applied that will ultimately determine the chances of success in future. Active fund managers are primarily rated on their ability to provide investors with returns in excess of a market benchmark. This excess return is commonly referred to as alpha. Often to achieve this, they either overweight or underweight shares against a market portfolio, tilted towards particular styles or risk factors, such as value, momentum, quality or small cap.
53
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
The reality is that the skill involved in executing this type of strategy is misleading. The evolution in index-tracking strategies over the past half century has seen the emergence of so-called smart beta funds. These strategies have been available to South African investors for over a decade and have proven to successfully provide investors with access to the benefits of these styles or risk factors in a systematic and cost-effective manner. So if both market returns and returns from factor or style tilts can simply be obtained by investing in a mix of costefficient traditional and smart beta index funds, how do we measure the true value of active investment strategies? In measuring true alpha generated by an investment manager, one cannot only focus on the returns in excess of a market-based benchmark. The returns generated from active tilts towards pure style or factor-based investing strategies should also be removed from the excess fund return. This will expose the true alpha-generating abilities of the investment manager. In order to measure this, a methodology called multi-factor regression analysis can be applied. Through this methodology, true alpha is exposed, providing a clear indication of the skill implied in active manager returns over and above those returns that can be derived from simply investing in smart beta strategies. Although one of the main considerations, returns should certainly not be the only metric that investors should be focused on when assessing the ability of their investment to achieve their outcomes. The volatility of the investment is equally important. The reason for this is twofold – investors prefer a smoother investment return profile and will therefore be more likely to stay invested and reducing volatility in drawdowns can lead to higher returns over time.
Another vital element to consider when assessing suitability of an investment is the peak-to-trough decline or loss that an investor is likely to experience during a specific period. Although it is important to stay invested during times of market turmoil, investors need to avoid situations where they lose significant amounts of capital which forces them to prematurely exit their investment strategy. Last but most certainly not least, the assessment of the ability of a fund manager to consistently generate value is by no means a purely quantitative exercise. It is equally important to consider the qualitative aspects of any investment management house. The research team should apply a rigorous framework in assessing the ability of fund managers to generate returns within a conscientious construct. The application of these principles will identify managers that exhibit a superior skill – those that consistently achieve superior risk-adjusted returns over the long term. They do this through analysing markets and selecting stocks above and beyond the pure factor or style exposure. They generate the elusive alpha – within an exceptional due diligence framework – adding real value in the right way. Luck is not replicable, but skill is: so focus on skill when choosing managers.

It is vital that true value in active management strategies be measured by the returns generated in excess of the market benchmark and the factor style exposure that could be attained simply and cost efficiently.

SECTION 3
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.

SECTION 3
Multi-Manager Watch™ Survey (Balanced Mandates)
113
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
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.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
LDI Manager Watch™ Survey
How to interpret and use this survey LDI is a complex area of investment. Alexander Forbes strongly recommends that investors obtain professional assistance in determining whether a specific LDI strategy or LDI manager is appropriate for them. The guide below is not sufficiently comprehensive to enable most investors to reliably choose an LDI manager without further assistance. The guide will help investors appreciate the drivers of differential performance between managers and strategies at specific times in the market.
General The LDI survey reports on the outperformance LDI asset managers deliver relative to a liability based benchmarks. The survey provides simple numerical measures that encapsulate the risk these managers have exposed clients to as well as the outperformance they have acheived. The survey reports on the performance of ‘composites’, or groups of portfolios with similar characteristics. Most LDI hedging techniques are based on algorithmic solutions (or rules based mathematical techniques), suggesting that ineffective hedging techniques will very rapidly show up in this survey. The skillset of managers offering low risk solutions, tracking liabilities closely with tight mandate restrictions will generally show up over even short periods such as one year.
122
However, it is always preferable to evaluate these managers over a longer period if this is available. The period used for analysis should include at least one large shift in yield curves. More than one large shift in yields has occurred during the last twelve months, the short history available in this survey is hence adequate for judging manager’s ability to create effective hedges. In addition to focusing on tracking liabilities, some managers target outperformance of liabilities by investing in riskier asset classes such as credit (and potentially view taking on the markets). An evaluation of the approach used and the skills of each manager is required to access how likely these managers are to deliver alpha in the future. The past performance of these managers can be used as part of this evaluation. Longer periods
SECTION 3
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

SECTION 3
General
Inflation-linked bond section
Nominal bond yields fluctuated dramatically across the quarter, shifting and reshaping in response to a stream of market relevant news flows. Across the quarter: The finance minister was replaced, with Tito Mboweni taking the reins. The appointment was perceived positively by most commentators. The delivery of the Medium Term Budget Policy Statement. The budget statement was sobering, with a downward revision to growth expectations and a downward revision to projected tax revenues. Globally risk remained elevated with the trade war between the USA and China still unresolved. This introduced external volatility and pressure for emerging markets, including South Africa. Some progress was made between the two sides late in the year, offering some hope. Meanwhile domestic growth within China has begun slowing. Data emerged to show that the South African economy had moved out of recession. Ongoing discussions and rumours about the dire financial condition and indebtedness of several parastatals, including Eskom continued. The implementation of load shedding during the quarter reminded us all of the importance of addressing the challenges faced within Eskom.
Real yields reached the highest levels seen in half a decade during the quarter. Higher real yields can open up the opportunity to hedge for funds 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. This will need to be evaluated together with any negative impact the recent equity market declines have had on the specific fund in question. We recommend discussing this with an LDI expert or your valuator.
The rich flow of market relevant data drove material volatility in nominal yields (both in level and shape), creating a testing environment for bond managers. Equity markets performed very poorly, with the All Share Total Return Index falling 4.9% and 8.5% across the quarter and year respectively. LDI hedging does not operate within a vacuum. Many defined benefit funds choose to combine interest and inflation hedging with growth assets, blending the liability risk reduction and growth characteristics of these assets. Large declines in the equity market can impact a fund and the fund’s LDI strategy. For example: A large decline in equities may trigger a fund’s rebalancing strategy. This may be required to ensure the fund retains a large enough exposure to growth assets. An inadequate exposure to growth assets may result in an expected return that cannot fund the investor’s liabilities. A reduction in the allocation to hedging assets may require changes to the composition of the hedge. Depending on the size of the equity market decline, the funding level and the asset allocation used by the fund, the impact on the fund’s financial health could be dramatic and could require that further steps are taken. For example, if the fund has become underfunded, the trustees may choose to review the investment strategy used to ensure it remains appropriate to the new circumstances in which the fund now operates. If the large decline showed up any weaknesses in a fund’s equity strategy (for example the combination of active managers chosen), the trustees may need to allocate scarce governance resources to this topic.
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. The movement of the real yield curve was less dramatic than that of the nominal curve. Real yields did still increase by 0.15-0.20% though across the quarter with much of this materialising during November. Manager returns were diverse. This is not unexpected, given the broad range of characteristics seen in the participant composites. For example, the credit allocations and benchmark durations vary significantly. The (mild) volatility in the real curve may have contributed marginally to this dispersion, though we caution against attaching too much confidence in the analysis of the small sample of participant managers. At times, some LDI managers take nominal positions within their portfolios. This can be done to hedge small nominal risks that arise due to pension increases only being effected once per year (rather than continuously). Some managers may also make use of nominal holdings to hedge interest rates (without an inflation hedge) to take advantage of perceived mispricing between the two markets. Given the large volatility in the nominal curve and the possibility of small nominal positions (and/or benchmark exposures) within the composites in this section, this may have contributed marginally to the dispersion of results seen.
Nominal bond section Long dated nominal bond yields rose by 0.3-0.4% during October, fell by 0.4-0.6% during November and shifted more marginally during December. Across the period the curve reshaped dramatically as well. This is a challenging environment that can show up unhedged positions. Participant managers coped well with the challenging environment, but we caution that there are limited conclusions that can be drawn from the small sample of participants.
Even with an LDI hedge in place, investors operate within a dynamic set of circumstances and challenges. This underscores the importance of suitable monitoring processes within a fund to trigger appropriate interventions and adjustments.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Quality Shari’ah funds outperform the general market
130
SECTION 3
For Shari’ah-compliant investors, the additional rules and limitations placed on Shari’ah-compliant funds lead to the misperception that Shari’ah investing results in lower returns compared to conventional investing. However, as recent fund performances show, this need not be the case. Over the last three years, investors in quality Shari’ah funds have enjoyed significantly higher annualised returns compared to those of the general equity sector.
Shari’ah guidelines As South Africans, we’re all too familiar with how inflation can erode buying power – and over a thirty-year career, for instance, the accumulated effect of inflation could have a significant effect on your retirement income should your investments not keep up with the rate of inflation. To do this, it is of course critical to maximise the return on your investments over time – but there are further considerations for Islamic investors. Derived from Arabic, the word Shari’ah means the ‘sacred law’ and refers to the teachings that guide both daily life and economic investments in Islam. To comply with Shari’ah law, a fund may not invest in industries related to alcohol, gambling, tobacco, weapons, pornography and other so-called sin industries. The objective is to avoid investments in companies that cause harm to humans or society. Sectors such as beverages, media and entertainment are ‘no-go’ areas for investment. In addition, Shari’ah law prohibits both the payment and receipt of interest. Therefore, Shari’ah-compliant funds may not invest in highly leveraged companies. This also rules out businesses within the traditional finance sector such as banking and insurance companies. And all companies selected for investment need to have closely managed debt and cash balance levels to avoid the payment or receipt of excessive interest. As a result, the investment universe is significantly reduced for Shari’ah-compliant investors.
131
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Instead, Shari’ah-compliant equity investment funds derive returns in two ways:
Selecting quality investments with shares priced at a low valuation, and selling these once this value has increased The annual distribution of company profits to all shareholders, in the form of dividends.
To ensure that both performance and ethical requirements are met, quality Shari’ah fund managers must use thorough screening tools to filter out companies that screen negatively on both the qualitative factors mentioned above as well as the financial metrics used to determine excessive debt or cash levels. Currently, the overall debt and cash limit for companies is 30% of total assets on the balance sheet. In addition, total interest received and other non-permissible income is limited to 5% of total income.
Shari’ah beats the benchmark In 2018, the FTSE/JSE All Share Index fell more than 11% and most general equity funds were heavily in the red for the year. For the three years to December 2018, the general equity sector delivered an annualised return of 1.7% while local Shari’ah funds delivered an average annualised return of 4.1%.
While the additional constraints placed on Shari’ah-compliant funds are often believed to limit returns, these restrictions have in fact protected investors against the impacts of the market’s volatility. Companies with high debt levels tend to underperform during periods of market volatility and most Shari’ah funds will have avoided highly indebted companies as part of their Shari’ah screening process. A rising interest rate environment both locally and in the US has also resulted in underperformance by financial companies like banks and insurers – all excluded from the Shari’ah investment universe. Lastly, Shari’ah funds tend to have higher exposure to basic materials companies and many of these companies have outperformed the broader market in 2018. A further shield for Shari’ah investors this year has been the lack of exposure to Naspers, which declined by almost 20%. Conventional funds had an average exposure to the stock of around 10%.
A good choice for return-seeking investors For quality managers with a thorough screening process and skilled stock selection capabilities, the transparent application of Shari’ah investment principles need in no way constrain returns over the long term. Although the principles are based on Islamic teachings, the underlying ethical framework is ideal for all socially conscious investors seeking robust long-term returns.

2019 investment outlook: a fragile mix of policy uncertainties Global growth steady with increasing downside risks Global economic growth for 2019 is expected to continue to plateau at 3.7%, as the growth in developed markets (DMs) is expected to moderate to 2.1% from 2.4%, as a result of the waning impact of tax cuts and tightening monetary policy in the US and rising Brexit uncertainty in Europe. Growth in emerging markets (EMs) is expected to accelerate to 5.2% in 2019, from the average of 4.8% between 2014 and 2018, helped by lower oil prices and fewer interest rate hikes, which will offset the weakness in DMs. However, systemic country-specific variations are driven by the US, Germany, the UK and China. The outperformance of the US is likely behind us, as the boost from tax cuts diminishes and household income gains will likely stagnate this year. The reduction in liquidity and tightening monetary policy will also start to constrain economic growth. In Europe, the UK and Germany will see slower growth, but for different reasons. The UK will be weighed down by the Brexit uncertainty, while Germany is adjusting lower, given the late stage in its economic cycle, with above-trend growth. In emerging markets, China is still adjusting to a change in growth drivers, towards consumption-led drivers, which structurally imply slower economic growth. In addition, the trade war with the US should have a negative effect on growth, but should be offset by monetary and fiscal stimulus, which the Chinese authorities have embarked on. The balance of risks to this outlook is tilted to the downside, owing to political risks in the US, UK, China and several other EMs holding elections this year. Political risks necessarily create policy risks, in addition to the ongoing trade wars, Brexit and Italian debt issues. However, we believe that the biggest risk for markets remains the US Fed rate hiking path, which at this point, looks set to deliver one or two hikes, at best, which will not trigger a risk-off trade.

Global inflation to stabilise, as a result of a fall in energy prices and stable exchange rates Following a rise in the annual global headline inflation rate, to 3.8% in 2018, from 3.2% during the previous year, inflation is expected to remain moderate, at 3.2%, over the next two years, owing to lower oil prices and strengthening exchange rates against the US dollar. DMs are expected to change from 2.4% in 2018, to 2.0% in 2019 and 2020, while EMs will stabilise below their five-year average of 4.4%. US, Eurozone and UK inflation rates are expected to change from 2.5%, 1.7% and 2.5% in 2018, to 2.0%, 1.5% and 2.1% in 2019, respectively. In EMs, Chinese inflation is expected to accelerate to 2.3%, from 2.1%, driven by looser monetary policy. Other EMs should see varied inflation dynamics, which we believe will offset each other and leave the EM average stable, below the five-year average.
Gradual monetary policy tightening a reprieve for emerging markets With lower and stable inflation dynamics in DMs and EMs, respectively, we expect monetary policy tightening to be more gradual than was anticipated last year. The US Fed will likely hike once or twice, at most, in 2019, down from three times previously. Markets are pricing a 35 basis point increase, to 2.85% by the end of Q2 2020, from the current 2.5%. The European Central Bank (ECB) will likely hike once in Q4 2019, with the risk of no hike, if growth slows down more than expected. Bloomberg consensus estimates a 30 basis point increase by the end of Q2 2020, from 0% currently. In EMs, we expect more stable interest rates, compared with the previous year, with fewer countries hiking policy rates.
SECTION 3
South African economic outlook: politics and policy slow recovery South Africa’s economic and markets outlook for this year will be affected by the national and provincial elections, which are scheduled to take place in May, in addition to the global factors discussed earlier. Independent Press Standards Organisation’s (IPSO) latest survey of voter intentions shows that the African National Congress (ANC) has 61% support. If the ANC maintains or gains more support at the polls, it will be market positive, as it will mean that President Ramaphosa has a clear mandate from the electorate to push through the much-needed economic reforms that will boost economic growth. We believe this is the likely outcome, so we expect local equities to outperform local bonds. From a policy point of view, pronouncements during election campaigns, as we have already seen with the ruling ANC’s manifesto, will introduce a layer of concerns, even before the outcome of the elections itself, and policy position of the government that will be established is in place. Two aspects that are of concern for markets are the intention to look into prescribed minimum assets for pension fund investors and the nationalisation of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB).
Will prescribed minimum assets be imposed on pension funds? Talks on tapping into prescribed minimum assets are not new and they seem to resurface around national elections and disappear soon after. Currently, there are no prescribed minimum assets, for developmental purposes, for pension funds in South Africa. If prescribed minimum assets were to be made into law, it will distort investment outcomes and prejudice clients whose pensions are managed by pension funds. However, we do not believe that prescribed minimum assets will be made into law; however, it remains a low probability event.
Will the SARB be nationalised? As it relates to the nationalisation of the SARB, two aspects need to be separated: ownership, and mandate and independence. At its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting on 17 January 2019, the SARB governor spoke at length, clarifying the two points on the next page.
143
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
The ownership of the SARB does not affect its mandate and independence. To us, this means that even if the state were to nationalise the SARB, this will not change its mandate, which is constitutionally prescribed as ‘to achieve and maintain price stability in the interest of balanced and sustainable economic growth in South Africa’. In any case, there are other central banks that are owned by their government that are independent in how they achieve their mandated objectives.
Given that the independence and mandate of the SARB is prescribed in the Constitution, changing that will require changing the Constitution, which will be a far more difficult task to do without thorough economic justification. We believe that the SARB will not be nationalised and its mandate and independence will not be changed.
Economic growth will marginally recover Given our expectations on the political outcomes, we believe economic growth will recover to about 1.5% in 2019, from an estimated 0.6% in 2018. The recovery is premised on a rebound in household consumption and fixed investment, especially in the second half of the year. It is a wait-andsee before elections in May, with few economic reforms and, as a result, little private sector investment. Even after elections, it will take some time to re-organise government and pronounce and implement policy. Therefore, a pickup of growth is a story of 2020 and beyond.
No rate hikes in 2019, as inflation is well contained within the 3%–6% SARB target band We forecast inflation of 5.0% in 2019, from 4.8% in 2018. The decline in oil prices and slightly stronger rand against the US dollar has resulted in cuts in petrol prices in December and January. However, market expectations are that oil prices will increase and the rand will remain slightly weaker. Electricity prices are likely to increase above 10% per year, for the next three years, given Eskom’s financial problems.
144
Food price inflation will also likely rise as a result of poor rainfall in major maize production regions. These factors will push inflation risks to the upside for the year. What remains supportive of a better inflation outlook is the fact that demand-pull inflation remains minimal. Given our expectations on inflation and the SARB’s inflation forecast of 4.8%, 5.3% and 4.8% in 2019, 2020 and 2021, we believe interest rates will stay on hold for the rest of the year, with a risk of one hike at best. The bank’s Quarterly Projection Model forecasts only one rate hike over the forecast horizon.
Asset allocation Return expectations better in 2019, but still low The weak asset class returns experienced in 2018 are expected to improve in 2019, but remain low, still affected by the tighter Fed monetary policy, weaker global growth and declining global liquidity. Given that pension fund portfolios are long term, we centre our investment outlook on the five-year return outlook, rather than on one year. The long-term return outlook has improved, on account of the equity market correction in 2018, but the outlook doesn’t match up to historical long-term returns. The low-return theme remains intact. There is still a strong case to use alternatives, in the form of both private equity and hedge funds, to mitigate against downside risks and potentially bolster returns.
Developed market equity Developed market equities fell 10%, in real US dollar terms, in 2018. The correction in price in late 2018 implies that the five-year real return outlook has improved for DM equities, to approximately 4% to 5% (annualised), in US dollars, according to our estimates. The real cyclically adjusted price earnings ratio, a measure of valuation, dropped from a 10-year high of 24 in September 2018, to 21 in December 2018, but isn’t far below the long-term average of 23 since 1988. DM equities have the added benefit of the global opportunity set, which is a slight constraint for South African equity.
SECTION 3
Emerging market equity
South African equity
Economic growth and return prospects are stronger in EMs than in DMs and South Africa. However, growth is not the only factor assisting EM equity prospects. Valuations corrected substantially in late 2018, making them more attractive than levels seen at the start of 2018. US dollar strengthening risks cannot be ruled out while the Federal Reserve is still expected to hike interest rates, but the US dollar is closer to the end of its strengthening cycle than the start. Potential US dollar weakness over the years ahead should also support EM equity returns because EMs are heavily levered to the US dollar cycle.
After falling 12.6%, in real terms, in 2018, South African equities, represented by the JSE All Share Index (ALSI), are expected to return approximately 4%, in real, CPI-adjusted terms, over the next five years (annualised). Valuations are certainly better, but constrained economic activity should keep the return outlook lower than long-term historical averages. Retained earnings, a measure of corporate South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence in their investment opportunities, are improving but remain inhibited, exemplifying the conditions faced by South African equities. Unlisted South African equities are expected to provide a premium above listed equity, as they did in 2018.
Global bonds
South African bonds
The rise in global interest rates in 2018 implies that the five-year return prospects for global bonds have improved. Bonds could also become a useful diversifier as the end of the US business cycle nears; however, five-year real return expectations remain negative, in US dollar terms, as interest rates are low and rising, while inflation is ticking higher, as a trend. After years of ultra-low interest rates and inflation in the DMs, we cannot discount the risk of a change in conditions towards higher inflation and interest rates, which would be a negative outcome for global bonds. Global bonds are still considered an unattractive asset class, over the long term, as a result.
Despite ongoing credit rating concerns, owing to fiscal deterioration, South African bonds continue to offer reasonably attractive return prospects, as a result of elevated real yields. The yield on the ten-year government bond was more than 4% above the CPI inflation rate for most of 2018, which is higher than the long-term average for this spread. We forecast five-year real return expectations from the All Bond Index (ALBI) of approximately 2% (annualised), which is marginally lower than historical norms from this asset class.
Global cash
South African cash
US short-term interest rates have risen to the highest levels since 2009, making the US dollar cash a reasonably attractive asset class, in the face of shorterterm financial market volatility. This is a dramatic shift from the last 10 years, when interest rates were at the zero lower bound. US interest rates are also noticeably higher than their developed markets peers, because the Fed has continued with its tightening cycle, while other global central banks remain very cautious. For this reason, cash allocations need to account for geographical concentration. Longer-term return expectations from cash are unlikely to compete with growth assets.
Local cash return expectations benefit from the same dynamic as bonds, with positive real return prospects over the coming years. Prudent SARB monetary policy is the major contributing factor to positive real interest rate conditions. Given the degree of volatility in financial markets and the risks attached to equity, cash presents periodic attractiveness despite its low long-term real return expectation.

SECTION 4
Section Four Fees
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
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. 2014 to 2018) 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 2018 across nine popular pension fund mandates: Multi Asset Class Mandates
Single Asset (Specialist) Mandates
Global Mandate, BIV*, Segregated Portfolio
Domestic Equity Mandate

The managers were asked to break down their fee structure into a standardised sliding scale framework using distinct Asset under Management bands: R0-50 million R51-100 million R101-150 million R151-250 million R251-500 million R500 + million
Limitations of study: 1. The universe was restricted to asset managers that participate in the Alexander Forbes Surveys. 2. Participation in the survey was voluntary, and therefore selection may be biased 3. The standardisation of fees in AuM categories may not reflect an individual managerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fee scale.
Where relevant the fee charged for international assets was collected.

Section Five Investment Survey Glossary
SECTION 5
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.
Basis Point One hundredth of 1%, e.g.100 basis points = 1% (one basis point is 1/100th of 1%).
Benchmark
Active Return
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.
The difference in returns between a fund and its benchmark at each point in time.
Bias
ALBI (All Bond Index)
A particular tendency, trend, or opinion, especially one that is preconceived or unreasoned
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.
Bonds
Alpha 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.
ALSI (FTSE JSE All Share Index) A popular index used to benchmark performance for South African equity portfolios. This index represents a weighted basket of 99% of the full market capitalisation of all eligible companies listed on the main board of the JSE subject to free float and liquidity criteria. The index can be divided by size into the Top 40, Mid Cap and Small Cap Indices.
Annualised Return To convert an investment return over a period other than one year into an equivalent one year rate of return for comparative purposes. Annualising returns for periods shorter than a year is not recommended.
Asset Class Categories of investments that behave similarly and are subject to similar market forces. Major asset classes include equities (shares), fixed income (bonds and cash), commodities and property.
AUM (Assets Under Management)
Debt issued by a government or a company, typically promising regular payments of coupons (interest) on specified dates with a final capital payment on the maturity date. It can be viewed as a loan given to bond issuers by bond holders.
BSAGI (Barclays SA Government Inflation Linked 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) 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 constituentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share capital on the South African share register. In addition each constituent weight is capped at 10% at each quarterly review.
Cash A major category of asset class, which is commonly used to represent short-term deposits, NCDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and other negotiable instruments (usually held in a bank) that can be readily exchanged into coins and banknotes. This is usually considered the risk-free asset.
The market value of assets held by an investment manager on behalf of clients.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Composite
Diversification
A group of similarly managed portfolios within a single investment manager and typically defined within the investment managers’ GIPS™ policy.
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.
Composite Dispersion The extent to which the returns of all portfolios within a composite differ. It can be measured in different ways, including: the difference between the maximum and the minimum return (range); the difference between the 1st and 3rd quartile (inter-quartile range); the standard deviation of returns, or mean absolute deviation.
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.
Compound Rate of Return
Effective Interest Rate
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.
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.
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.
Emerging Markets Emerging markets are economies that show some of the traits of developed economies but aren’t quite at the same level yet.
Equities
CPI (Consumer Price Index)
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.
CPI is an estimate of the inflation rate measuring the price of goods and services in the economy
Fixed Income
Credit
A major category of asset class that includes cash, nominal bonds, inflation linked bonds and credit instruments.
A type of bond issued by a non-governmental entity. These bonds typically carry a higher risk than government guaranteed bonds, e.g. bonds issued by companies.
Frontier Markets
Credit Risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a bond issuer will default on any type of debt by failing to make required payments, i.e. probability that the bond issuer will make debt payments late
Cumulative Returns The cumulative return for a portfolio or an asset is the cumulative compound return over the full length of a specified time period. The percentage measure of this return is not annualised and as such represents the actual total return of the portfolio or asset over the period. By annualising the percentage figure, one can calculate the average annual return of the portfolio or asset over the period.
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.
Developed Markets A developed or an advanced market in investing terms is a country that is most developed in terms of its economy and financial markets. 156
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.
GIPS™ The Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) is a set of standardized, industry-wide ethical principles that guide investment firms on how to calculate and present their investment results to prospective clients.
Hedge Funds These are usually absolute return investment strategies that use 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.
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.
SECTION 5
ILBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Inflation Linked Bonds)
Investment Philosophy
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.
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.
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.
International Monetary Fund (IMF) 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.
Investment Manager An organisation that invests assets on behalf of third parties for a fee.
JSE (Johannesburg Securities Exchange) Currently the only South African Exchange which offers a centralised trading platform to capital markets across a diverse set of investment securities, in particular, equities, bonds, and derivatives.
Long Position It is a positive holding in a portfolio that results from buying investments in the portfolio. This is done when the manager believes that the value of this investment security will increase in the future and 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.

Overweight Exposure to a specific investment security or asset class in a portfolio which is higher than the proportion it represents in the market index or benchmark it is being compared to.
Peer Group Usually refers to a set of similarly managed investment mandates.
Passive Investing An implementation approach of a specialist fund strategy where the need to outperform the benchmark is not required in order to meet the investment objective. The specialist investment strategy is invested in passive funds. Not to be confused with Passive Fund Management.

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.
Return Percentage increase in the value of an investment over a period of time, expressed as a percentage of the value of the investment at the start of the period. All returns in this survey are calculated as Time Weighted Rates of Return

Simple Rate of Return
Range
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.
A statistical measure representing the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a ranked set of data.
Segregated Portfolio
Quarterly Usually refers to 3-month periods ending 31 March, 30 June, 30 September, and 31 December.

This is directly opposite to a long position.
The time remaining on the life of a bond, i.e. time remaining for the bond to be fully repaid.

Investment philosophy 27four focuses on building well-diversified portfolios that are linked to a broad spectrum of investor goals and appetites for risk. They believe that asset allocation is the primary determinant of variation in portfolio return and is the cornerstone of portfolio construction. Their skilled investment team is experienced in the application of quantitative techniques to identify the sources of asset class returns across different market cycles to derive their long-term asset allocation views. They invest in a combination of large, well-known managers and smaller untapped “boutiques” who they believe possess a distinct performance advantage as they are more nimble and opportunistic, especially in asset classes where the ability to take calculated risks and move swiftly is vital to success. Core to their investment philosophy is risk mitigation. Rigorous risk management and monitoring is applied at every level of their investment process and equal importance is given to business, compliance, operational and administrative risks as is applied to investment performance risk. 164

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

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

Investment philosophy 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

Investment philosophy Ashburton Investment’s history dates to the genesis of Ashburton Jersey in the early 1980’s. 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 in 2010, a process was started to consolidate all remaining Group asset management and wealth management functions under Ashburton. Ashburton Investments was officially launched in June 2013 although the consolidation of the various Group entities continued for several years after that. The businesses that were initially consolidated under the Ashburton brand were, the investment management arm of RMB Private Bank, BJM Multimanager, Ashburton Jersey and the retail stockbroking business of FNB. At the end of 2015 Ashburton acquired Atlantic Asset Management, a boutique Fixed Interest house, with a view to expanding on our Fixed Interest capabilities. The consolidation of Group asset and wealth management functions was completed in October of 2017 with the transfer of the Global Markets Fund Solutions business from RMB to Ashburton. This consolidation resulted in a common investment philosophy and common systems being applied across the various investment solutions.
Having introduced efficiencies into the Wealth and Investment (WIM) business, this business, along with a large contingent of Ashburton staff, was returned to FNB in November 2017 to be closer to their clients. The WIM business, which comprises advice and platform capabilities, still relies on the input of Ashburton’s investment team in constructing solutions for their clients. In 2018, Ashburton entered a strategic partnership with Fidelity International whereby Fidelity will assist with the implementation of Strategic Asset Allocation calls as well as instrument / fund selection in our offshore multiasset class portfolios. Ashburton is now a pure asset management company offering solutions across the spectrum from passive solutions to private asset solutions to the retail and institutional markets. While its primary asset management office is in Johannesburg, it also has asset management operations in Cape Town, Namibia, Jersey and the UK.

Investment philosophy “We have one philosophy that is applied across all our portfolios, “do what is rational”. We are fundamental, bottomup, stock pickers. We employ a business approach to investing, focusing on free cash flows to establish private market values for businesses. We invest in assets on behalf of clients that will preserve their purchasing power in real terms and earn a satisfactory return on that capital. Good investments are made irrespective of prevailing market conditions by investing wisely and on the right terms. This requires patience, investing intelligence and respect for the process. Our Philosophy: ■■ Firstly, we don’t want to lose capital. ■■ We are rational investors. ■■ We buy listed businesses. ■■ We build portfolios from the bottom-up. ■■ We don’t care about the composition of the benchmark. ■■ We are long-term focused. ■■ We don’t try to make macro forecasts. Instead we focus on picking businesses that have a high probability of being successful investments. ■■ We look for a good business first, mispricing second. That order matters. ■■ We are cash flow focused. ■■ We seek out disconfirming evidence. ■■ We don’t cover the market. ■■ We stick to our philosophy.
Portfolios are built bottom-up with weightings derived from our conviction levels on each recommendation, and the allocation is a result of the number of ideas we have found.

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

Investment philosophy Cadiz Asset Management seeks to invest in predominantly good quality businesses with capable management and low financial risk when these businesses are trading at a price lower than our estimate of what the business is worth. We believe that markets can be inefficient in the short term driven by fear (over pessimism) and greed (over optimism). Cadiz strives to remain rational, dispassionate and exploit the opportunities that this investor behaviour creates, thereby generating superior returns for their clients.

Investment philosophy Cannon Asset Managers has a 20-year track record built on an investment philosophy that is founded in three core principles. First, effective investment management must start with managing risk before considering returns. Second, asset allocation is the single most important determinant of long-term investment results. Third, 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. 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
188
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. Our clients know that the creation of long-term wealth is the reward for patience, persistence and resilience. The best place to invest most assets is a market portfolio. 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. 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. 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 cashflow, to name a few examples. In this way, we offer each of our clients a robust, time-tested solution that suits their investment need.

Investment philosophy Property – Income – Security Their commitment is to provide the client with a securitised real estate portfolio solution incorporating total return objectives, risk tolerance, investment horizon and liquidity requirements. Their approach is research driven and long-term orientated. Their objective is to identify value opportunities on the basis of total return in a property and company specific risk return framework. This asset class offers a high income yield with inflation beating growth in income and thus the potential for long-term capital value appreciation. Their view is that real estate is a separate asset class, providing diversification benefits to a multi-asset class portfolio resulting in enhanced risk adjusted returns. 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, 190
designed specifically for listed property assessment, differentiates them from their competitors and allows them to add real value to their clients’ portfolios.

Investment philosophy We invest in a consistently disciplined and focused manner, based on an unwavering investment philosophy of striving to buy into high quality businesses at prices that are low compared to their long term investment valuations. We construct concentrated, but well-diversified portfolios, normally holding ±30 shares. We manage portfolios with high conviction and choose shares in an unconstrained manner, giving clients the benefit of our proven stock-picking ability. Benchmarks are less relevant in the portfolio construction process as share weightings are determined based on our understanding of volatility, share liquidity and market leadership. We aim to identify companies that have sustainable competitive advantages within their industries, which should enable them to consistently earn returns on capital above their cost of capital. We also strive to identify mispriced companies through our disciplined, focused and opportunistic proprietary research and analysis. Our limited asset base is an advantage that enables us to invest across the broader SA stock market and we aim to deliver long term relative outperformance supported by superior risk/return characteristics. 198

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

Investment philosophy 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-the-cycle 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.

Company details FAIS FSP registration number: 42693 Switchboard: +27 11 772 2480 General email: admin@firstavenue.co.za Website: www.firstavenue.co.za Address: 21 Fricker Road, Ground Floor, Cnr Chaplin and Fricker Road Illovo, 2196 PostNet Suite 92, Private Bag X11, Birnam Park, 2015 Compliance officer name: Deon Harmse +27 21 554 5745
Investment philosophy First Avenue focuses purely in long only equities as a specialist manager. Within equities, their research shows that investing in high quality companies generates superior outcomes compared to any other strategy. This is because high quality companies are able to produce persistently high and stable profits independent of market conditions by controlling ‘fundamental risk’. As the returns earned by equity holders are ultimately driven by corporate profits, this results in superior stock returns with lower ‘price risk’ or volatility. Modern corporate finance theory would expect investors to receive higher rates of return on investment for bearing greater risk. With this view of the world, high quality companies appear to be an anomaly delivering higher returns with lower risk. High quality companies possess sustainable competitive advantages that allow them to dominate the profit pool of an industry and earn returns above their cost of capital for extended periods. These advantages or economic moats enable a company to remain resilient throughout the entire economic cycle by leveraging unique attributes such as superior pricing power or cost control.
Their research shows that this universe of companies has a high propensity to outperform the market and also offers greater downside protection during periods of distress. By restricting their universe to high quality companies only, their portfolio is inherently of lower fundamental risk. Their view is that risk (not valuation) is a continuum from low to extreme risk. As one moves up the continuum, the investment philosophy also shifts from a probabilistic exercise to pure speculation highly reliant on timing. Instead of trying to predict the turn of the economic cycle or movements in commodity prices and exchange rates, they study the sustainability of a company’s economic moat to arrive at an intrinsic value. In their world, the greatest risk is a loss of quality and earnings power through economic changes and deterioration of management as put forward by Benjamin Graham. They therefore aim for consistently high returns through the entire economic cycle.

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

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

Investment philosophy The Granate Fixed Interest philosophy is focused on maximizing 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 mis-pricing 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.

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

Investment philosophy 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. 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.
214
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. 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. 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.

Investment philosophy We believe that disciplined growth investing is the best way to build wealth and capital in the long term. Our core investment pillars are: 1. Active Management: The market is inefficient, and often has significant levels of excess volatility. This provides enough opportunities for skilled investors to generate alpha. However, the highly competitive nature of markets makes it difficult for investors to generate alpha on a consistent basis. Therefore, we actively manage our investment portfolios with a benchmark-cognizant mindset. 2. Growth Focus: Earnings growth is the most important driver of share price returns, over the long term. We believe that companies with superior returns and high re-investment rates outperform their peers in the long term. We understand that growth investing comes with higher drawdowns, therefore our preference is to be growth-biased, but within limits. 3. ‘Quantamental’ Investing: We believe that integrating quantitative techniques with traditional investing reduces cognitive errors and enhances investment returns. We use this disciplined approach across all our investment strategies.
216
4. Risk Controlled: The best way to build wealth is through the compounding of consistent alpha. Investment management is enormously complex, and a comprehensive risk management function is critical to delivering the best outcomes.

Investment philosophy Our investment objective is two-fold – return of capital and return on capital i.e. to grow the long-term value of our client’s capital. The investment philosophy is therefore founded on thorough understanding of businesses and disciplined research to value such businesses. We employ a longterm fundamental approach to asset valuation. Valuation investing means really asking what is the “real” values of an asset, and not assuming that because a company looks expensive that it is, or assuming that because a stock is down in price and trades at low multiples that it is a bargain. A good investment has the following attributes: ■■ A sustainable business model; ■■ Is managed and lead by experience and competent management team including the board of directors; ■■ Boasts of a healthy financial position; and offers clarity on how the company makes / will make its cash profits – current and future. ■■ Offers downside characteristics during tough economic periods.

Investment philosophy Their investment philosophy is rooted in their mission to preserve the capital entrusted to them and deliver superior risk adjusted investment returns. Only fundamental research aimed at establishing the true intrinsic value of the investment opportunities can provide true insight. They acknowledge the importance of balance: ■ Balance between investment returns and the risk associated with delivering those returns. They are long-term investors who demand a high margin of safety at the point of investing and maintain a low level of turnover within portfolios. ■ Balance between capital growth and cash generation. ■ Balance between compound and cyclical price performers. Their philosophy results in the core of the portfolio being invested in businesses with more predictable, less cyclical earnings profiles. Cyclical businesses are not ignored; however, the risk is managed via the weighting.
220
Melville Douglas’ philosophy is based on the firm belief that long-term investment returns depend on two key investment characteristics: ■■ the stable compounding ability of the underlying cash stream; and ■■ the price the investor pays. Investments with no cash streams (return on capital) are usually purely speculative, and are near-impossible to value appropriately. As the key factor affecting the longterm returns of an investment is the price paid, they focus on identifying the intrinsic value of an investment opportunity and then ensuring they invest only when there is an appropriate margin of safety. This margin of safety allows them to absorb short-term market shifts, strengthens their ability to take a longer term investment view and allows portfolios to benefit from the power of compounding returns. They believe in buying superior businesses with strong cash flows, known integrity and competence of management, at compelling valuations. Their philosophy has been adopted and carried forward since the inception of the company. It has been a core principle of the firm and its investment professionals. The investment process has been refined and improved over the years, but the core investment approach and philosophy has been unwavering. Their approach aims at achieving alpha by avoiding investments with high downside risk (or high volatility) and doubtful compounding ability; and by patiently allowing the compounding effect to work.

Investment philosophy Our investment mantra is to “Marry valuation with the cycle.” To achieve this we only invest when our measures of valuation (be it those applicable to equity, property, bonds, commodities, or cash) look attractive AND the cycle that influences their profit drivers looks supportive. The experience of the founders is that without both of these elements in place, the risk of making a poor investment is heightened.

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. 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. 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. 234

Investment philosophy PAM adopts a top down approach across all asset classes that links certain macro-economic factors in the real economy with the financial markets. As such, we formulate an investment hypothesis albeit unique for each asset class, that helps give returns linked to the real economy. The themes that drive the real economy are used to identify securities that we believe will be positively reviewed by the market.

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 long-term and patient view. 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 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
one-dimensional value investors. Theses can and do change over the lifecycle of the investment. ■■ Share attributes or metrics (low or high P/E; low or high Price to Book) do not indicate fundamental under/ over valuation in isolation.

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

Investment philosophy PSG puts risk first in all that they do. They look for investment opportunities that will provide them with a sufficient margin of safety and an asymmetrical payoff range. This pay-off range should translate into little downside and sufficient upside. They believe that they will invest in any opportunity (equity or fixed income) provided that there is a sufficient margin of safety to ensure that they are not likely to incur permanent capital loss on that investment. In essence they compare ideas across a range of opportunities, both fixed income and equity, looking for the highest probability, real, risk-adjusted yields. This leads to an absolute rather than relative mindset. Their equity philosophy is guided by their simple checklist of the 3 Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s: Moats, Management and Margin of safety. They look to invest in companies with strong business models and management teams and a sufficient margin of safety.
240
They prefer to invest in high quality compounding return type companies with strong management teams and a long runway of future opportunities to invest in. They will, however, also invest in mean reverting type companies on a more opportunistic basis, provided there is a sufficient margin of safety. Their highest return ideas typically come from high quality companies that have a large though fixable problem or temporary headwind, which has resulted in a depressed share price. They then are buying a compounder with strong mean reverting valuation properties.

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

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

Investment philosophy SEI utilises a multi-manager investment platform in which we recommend hiring multiple specialised investment managers, with clearly differentiated investment processes within each asset class and combining them to achieve maximum diversification and potential risk managed for growth. Our investment professionals assume the responsibilities of portfolio structure, manager selection, manager evaluation and manager replacement. SEI’s philosophy and process reflect strategies geared towards achieving long-term investment goals in various financial climates. We believe: ■ Trustee time is better spent on strategic issues such as goal setting and monitoring success – as an investment manager, SEI is best placed to manage the day-to-day aspects of the investment strategy ■ In a strategic asset allocation framework customised to the financial objectives of each client ■ In a proactive, dynamic de-risking framework that is customised to the needs of each client ■ Short-term market inefficiencies create opportunities to add value across and within asset classes ■ Skilled specialised managers with a determinable competitive edge do exist
248
■ A multi-manager framework provides tangible benefits ■ In an active risk management approach and continual oversight Establishing Our Point of View In order to actively manage a client’s asset allocation in an effective manner, SEI first establishes a point of view. The point of view is developed by combining both a top down, macroeconomic perspective with a bottom-up, underlying investment management perspective. SEI holds a bi-weekly roundtable meeting to integrate the views of our Investment Management Unit and Fund Managers, which we then implement across client portfolios.

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 STANLIB believes that there is no ‘one size fits all’ investment solution for clients. Diverse clients need diverse investment outcomes. They therefore look at investments through many lenses and from many angles - this gives them an in-depth understanding of an ever changing investment landscape. Their investment model thus houses multiple focused units with unique philosophies, which cater for diverse client needs. The STANLIB investment team consists of Franchises made up of specialist teams of investment professionals. They manage clients’ assets in their area of expertise, namely: fixed interest, listed property, equities, multi-asset allocation, multi-management and alternatives. These specialist investment teams deal with market changes with agility and speed, as they are supported by dedicated research, trade, implementation, risk management and compliance teams. Their Multi-Specialist Franchise Model truly reflects the complex investment world they operate in and echoes their desire to deliver tailored solutions for diverse clients; the result of which is a broad investment offering designed to deliver their investment promise to clients.
252
They strongly believe it is possible to add value both through superior research and a superior investment process. For this reason, STANLIB currently employs 95 investment professionals.

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 covers national output (measured by GDP), unemployment and inflation. 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 characterized as: ■■ Tactical/Technical (mostly eventdriven – such as over key data releases and monetary/fiscal statements); ■■ Structural trading (focusing mostly on technical issues related to intramarket issues – such as switch auctions etc – and their impact on the broader economy);
258
■■ Strategic trading (normally the longest timeline applied – such as trading upside/downside views on GDP/inflation over cycles relative to consensus).”

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

financial models on the majority of the listed companies in their investment universe. They update, enhance and tweak those models regularly as they represent the primary tools in our decision making process. The investment universe spans across industries, market capitalizations and through the use of a number of different investment instruments. Those include not just listed shares, but also listed commodity ETF’s, listed corporate debt issues, index futures and listed options. Portfolio ‘churn’ is low. Significant shareholdings may be accumulated in individual companies or material exposures achieved in certain sectors from time to time.
Investment philosophy
FAIS requirements
Their investment process is firmly rooted in fundamental analysis. Their approach is predominantly bottom up and sector or theme specific. Every company is different and is influenced by its own particular factors, hence the need for in-depth research and analysis, regular management contact, site visits, broker and company presentations, etc. They spend a considerable amount of time ‘on the road’ towards achieving this end. Additional attention is devoted to companies that are either underresearched, not covered by sell side analysts or otherwise those businesses considered out of favor from time to time by the investment fraternity. There is limited use of technical analysis in the formulation of their strategies

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