Understanding the investor’s risk profile

The Momentum Equity Fund is suitable for investors with a high-risk profile who are aiming for long-term returns and willing to be invested for seven years or more.

The fund invests mainly in equity securities, property shares and property-related securities listed locally and has offshore allocations of up to 30%, and 10% in Africa. The fund carries high levels of risk and volatility and is suitable only for long-term investors.

Understanding the fund's risk profile

Share prices change daily and various factors can influence whether these go up or down. Some of these influences are company stability and returns. At the same time, market forces can influence pricing, like political developments or economic instability. The fund also invests in foreign securities, so country risk and exchange rate fluctuations need to be taken into consideration.

The Momentum Equity Fund equity exposure will always exceed 80% net asset value so there is a risk of volatile returns in the short to medium term. This fund is only suitable for long-term investors.

Seven or more years.
