Fund objective
The objective of the Fund is to create long-term wealth for investors by extracting alpha from equity markets.
Fund policy
The Fund is managed as a long/short hedge fund, focused on extracting both beta and alpha returns from the South African equity market. Returns are driven by deep fundamental insight into South African equities, economic growth trends, and broader macroeconomic themes, as well as medium- to long-term relative valuation opportunities. The Fund generates the majority of its returns through its directional positioning, while relative value pairs and selective long and short positions aim to stabilise performance during turbulent market conditions. Active management of the Fund’s net exposure further supports downside protection and risk management.
Risk indicator
The risk indicator provides a visual representation of the level of risk associated with the fund, helping investors understand the potential volatility and return profile. Investors are encouraged to consider their risk tolerance and investment goals when selecting a fund. The risk category shown is not guaranteed and may change over time.
