Investment Framework – defining it
Find overlap between the aim, the potential asset set and our skill set
When defining neutral asset allocation and
the appropriate investment ranges we need to
ask ourselves:
● AIM: What are we realistically trying
achieve?
● ASSETS: What is the universe of assets
available to us?
● SKILL: What are our traditional strengths?
SKILL
Asset allocation,
duration, relative
value, currency

Defining what the fund is realistically trying to do:
RETURN:
Provide a consistent total return in excess of cash / inflation over time:
● that has some correlation to the bond market when the bond market outperforms, and
● has little correlation to the bond market when it underperforms
RISK:
A capital preservation bias that avoids quarterly drawdowns, and tries to eliminate
6 monthly drawdowns completely

Investment framework combines: Aim + Assets + Skill
Source: Investec Asset Management as at March 2016
Active management within these parameters is key to success
● Exposure ranges provide a
consistent framework for scaling
positions to achieve objective
● Neutral allocation if we don’t have
a strong view on the asset
● Active management within the
ranges meets risk requirements &
satisfies the capital draw-down

Caution is advised, but opportunities exist
● Stability of SA politics is crucial – maintaining investment grade status so we can get
positive momentum for growth and jobs
● China growth and commodity prices will be a big driver of EM and SA sentiment
● Commodity/oil recovery leading to inflation
● Fed, ECB, BoE and BoJ policy will drive currency movements
● BREXIT and Trump?... emergence of non-tolerant political shift
● Is Deutsche Bank the canary in the coal mine of Europe?
● SA and EM’s are well placed for recovery
