Fund Investment Aims, Objective and/or Universe
|
|
The primary objective of the fund is to generate real (after- inflation) wealth for investors at lowest possible cost, with due cognizance of risk and, in particular, secular downside risk.This is achieved by consistently producing real returns and long- term capital growth through maximum exposure to equities (the asset class of choice over the long-term to protect investors against inflation) during bull markets, while minimising exposure to equities in secular bear markets.The fund complies with the statutory investment limits set for retirement funds (Regulation 28).; Premised on the philosophy that most value is added by asset allocation as opposed to stock selection; Stock selection is indexed, and asset allocation is actively and aggressively managed; Coupled with a low-cost focus, this fund aims to achieve superior investment returns through the utilisation of indexed building blocks; The fund invests in a combination of Gryphon’s All-Share Tracker Fund, Money Market Fund, Global Equity Fund as well as off-shore cash and bond/property indexed products; Funds are allocated based on proprietary quantitative indicators that predict the primary bull/bear market cycles in equities and the South African Rand; Short-term volatility and secondary market cycles are generally disregarded as they are less predictable, being driven mainly by emotion (fear and greed); their effect on returns is relatively short-lived; The fund can invest up to 75% in equities; Maximum foreign exposure limits as permitted by prevailing legislation (currently 30%); Multi-asset funds are inclined to be more tax efficient |
