LONG-TERM CAPITAL GROWTH

Momentum GF Global Equity Feeder Fund

The fund is a Rand denominated global equity fund providing exposure to a diversified basket of developed market equities and is suited to investors with a high-risk profile and a long-term investment horizon.

The fund blends three core investment styles (Quality, Growth and Value) to smooth the investment journey and aims to deliver long term capital growth and outperformance against its benchmark, the MSCI World NR Index, over a rolling 3-year period. The underlying equities are accessed through specialist global active and systematic fund managers to whom many South African investors would otherwise not have access.

The Feeder Fund invests directly into the US Dollar denominated Momentum GF Global Equity Fund managed by Momentum Global Investment Management (MGIM), our London office. MGIM was established in the UK in 1998, as a specialist global investment manager. For more information on MGIM click here.

Understanding the investor’s risk profile

The fund follows a balanced style approach and uses specialist third party equity managers from across the world to implement its equity exposure. The fund is therefore suitable as a core equity holding for investors who want to generate long term capital growth by investing in a diversified Rand denominated global equity fund and can tolerate the heightened levels of volatility associated with equity funds.

Understanding the fund's risk profile

This portfolio invests in foreign securities which carries country specific risks, such as: potential constraints on liquidity and the repatriation of funds; macroeconomic risks; political risks; foreign exchange risks; tax risks; settlement risks; and potential limitations on the availability of market information.

Investments in a foreign currency exposes you to foreign exchange risk.
