Visio BCI Global Property Fund (C) - OPTFDC fund information

The Visio BCI Global Property Fund is a global property portfolio which focus on predominantly developed property markets with an objective to provide the investor with income as well as long-term capital growth.
The investable universe of the portfolio will include equity and property securities, including companies that derive a material portion of their income from property investment, property collective investment schemes, property loan stock, fixed interest securities, notes, preference shares, non-equity securities and assets in liquid form. The portfolio may also invest in participatory interests or any other form of participation in portfolios of collective investment schemes or other similar collective investment schemes as the Act may allow from time to time, and which are consistent with the portfolio's investment policy. Where the aforementioned schemes are operated in territories other than South Africa, participatory interests or any other form of participation in portfolios of these schemes will be included in the portfolio only where the regulatory environment is, to the satisfaction of the manager and the trustee, of sufficient standard to provide investor protection at least equal to that in South Africa.
The portfolio may from time to time invest in listed and unlisted financial instruments, in accordance with the provisions of the Act, and the Regulations thereto, as amended from time to time, in order to achieve the portfolio's investment objective. The manager may also include forward currency, interest rate and exchange rate swap transactions for efficient portfolio management purposes. The portfolio's global property exposure will always exceed 80% of the portfolio's asset value. Up to 10% of the portfolio may be invested in shares outside of the property sector in companies that conduct similar business activities. The Trustee shall ensure that the investment policy set out in this Supplemental Deed is carried out.
For the purpose of this portfolio, the manager shall reserve the right to close the portfolio to new investors on a date determined by the manager. This will be done in order to be able to manage the portfolio in accordance with its mandate. The manager may, once a portfolio has been closed, open that portfolio again to new investors on a date determined by the manager.
