Investing for income is a primary
focus. Some investors may also
choose to have an element of
capital growth whilst collecting an
income. We therefore offer funds
across a spectrum to balance
your income needs.
S TAB L E
G R O W T H G R O W T H O F F S H O R E
Capital growth may be an
important objective but so is
protection of that capital and or
stability of investment returns.
Your investment goal is likely to
be medium to longer term. We
offer a fund that focuses on
managing downside risk whilst
achieving capital growth and
another that aims to provide a
balance of income and growth to
align to the need for stability and
certainty.
Capital growth is your primary
objective and you’re likely to
have a longer-term investment
goal. You should also have some
appetite to weather turbulent
markets given your focus on the
long-term growth outcome.
Typically, funds in this category
will allocate a higher percentage
to equity and property stocks
both locally and offshore.
Diversifying a local portfolio to
include offshore assets is
important to manage risk and
broaden opportunities to reach
your investment goal. Our
offshore fund range includes fixed
income, balanced, and equity
funds that invest in other markets
providing options for wider
exposure to suit your portfolio
needs.

Collective Investment Schemes in Securities (CIS) are generally medium to long term investments. The value of participatory interests may go down as well as up. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to
future performance. CIS are traded at ruling prices and can engage in borrowing and scrip lending.
The manager of the Scheme is STANLIB Collective Investments (RF) (PTY) Ltd (the Manager). The Manager is authorised in terms of the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act, No. 45 of 2002 (CISCA) to
administer Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) in Securities. Liberty is a full member of the Association for Savings and Investments of South Africa (ASISA). The Manager is a member of the Liberty Group of
Companies. The manager has a right to close a portfolio to new investors in order to manage the portfolio more efficiently in accordance with its mandate. A schedule of fees and charges and maximum
commissions is available on request the Manager. The Manager does not provide any guarantee either with respect to the capital or the return of a CIS portfolio. Forward pricing is used.
All performance returns and ranking figures quoted are shown in ZAR and are based on data sourced from Morningstar as at 31 December 2019 and January 2020.
Portfolio performance figures are calculated for the relevant class of the portfolio, for a lump sum investment, on a NAV-NAV basis, with income reinvested on the ex-dividend date. Individual investor performance
may differ due to initial fees, actual investment date, date of reinvestment of income and dividend withholding tax. Any forecasts or commentary included in this document are not guaranteed to occur. Annualised
return figures are the compound annualised growth rate (CAGR) calculated from the cumulative return for the period being measured. These annualised returns provide an indication of the annual return achieved
over the period had an investment been held for the entire period.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are registered Collective Investment Schemes, listed on an exchange and may therefore incur additional costs. Participatory interests in a CIS-ETF cannot be purchased directly
from the Manager. A CIS-ETF is subject to exchange listing requirements and settlement cycles for equities and all trading in a CIS-ETF is through an exchange. It may take a few days longer to receive the
proceeds of a sale of a CIS-ETF than would be the case for a CIS. Trading in ETFs will incur the normal costs associated with listed securities, including brokerage, settlement costs, Uncertified Securities Tax
(UST), other statutory costs and administrative costs. The price at which ETFs trade on an Exchange may differ from the Net Asset Value price published at the close of the trading day, because of intra-day price
movements in the value of the constituent basket of securities.
A fund of funds is a portfolio that invests in portfolios of collective investment schemes, that levy their own charges, which could result in a higher fee structure for these portfolios
A Feeder Fund portfolio is a portfolio that invests in a single portfolio of a collective investment scheme that levies its own charges, which could result in a higher fee structure for the Feeder Fund.
A money market portfolio is not a bank deposit account. The price of each participatory interest (unit) is aimed at a constant value. The total return to the investor is primarily made up of interest received but, may
also include any gain or loss made on any particular instrument. In most cases this will merely have the effect of increasing or decreasing the daily yield, but in an extreme case it can have the effect of reducing
the capital value of the portfolio. . An annualised seven day rolling average effective yield is calculated for Money Market Portfolios. Excessive withdrawals from the portfolio may place the portfolio under liquidity
pressures; and that in such circumstances a process of ring-fencing of withdrawal instructions and managed pay-outs over time may be followed.
A portfolio that derives its income primarily from interest-bearing instruments calculates its yield daily and is a current effective yield.
