Understanding the investor’s risk profile
The fund’s risk-and-return profile is not dissimilar to those of traditional equity portfolios. It allows clients to achieve benchmark-outperforming returns at an attractive cost. The fund is suitable for investors who believe in a momentum strategy, who have a long-term investment horizon and can tolerate high risk.
Understanding the fund's risk profile
The Momentum Trending Equity Fund is first exposed to the inherent risk of the SA equity market as a whole and secondly to the risk that the trending investment style underperforms. Investors are also exposed to share-specific risks.
Seven or more years.
