Sage BCI Moderate Solution FoF (A2) - SASA2 fund information

The objective of Sage Sanlam Collective Investments Moderate Solution Fund of Funds is to secure steady growth of capital, and to offer a return of at least CPI plus 5% over a rolling three year period. The portfolio will aim never to have a negative return over any one year period.
The investment manager, Sage Wealth Management (Pty) Ltd follows the multi manager style of investing and will invest the portfolio in the participatory interests of various collective investment schemes managed by different specialist investment managers. The target of CPI plus 5% will be achieved through the construction of a portfolio with a strategic asset allocation appropriate for a CPI plus 5% return objective.
The objective will be achieved by investing in assets in liquid form, and participatory interests or any other form of participation in collective investment scheme portfolios or other similar collective investment schemes the Act may allow from time to time and managed by specialist investment managers. In line with the multi manager investment philosophy, the portfolio will be constructed to achieve diversification across different asset classes as well as different investment managers and investment processes. The philosophy therefore categorically excludes the possibility of the portfolio only investing in underlying collective investment schemes of just one manager. Key value propositions are the selection of multiple specialist investment managers as well as the combination of these managers into optimal portfolio structures in order to achieve the investment objective.
The strategic asset allocation will be achieved by combining participatory interests of collective investment scheme portfolios managed by specialist investment managers who use different and uncorrelated investment strategies.
The portfolio will be investing in participatory interests of portfolios which provide exposure to a flexible combination of equity, bonds, money market instruments, non-equity and property, as well as to various absolute return investment strategies.
The asset allocation will be actively managed by the multi-manager to reflect its view of the changing economic and market conditions. The portfolio will have an equity exposure of between 0% - 65%, depending on the investment manager's investment strategy for a CPI plus 5% return objective at the time. This portfolio is part of a range of risk profiled, multi managed fund of funds portfolios and the SMMI house view tactical asset allocation given specific market conditions will be applied uniformly to the range of portfolios. Therefore, should the house view be bullish on equities, the tactical allocation to equities will increase across the range of portfolios in line with their respective maximum equity exposure limitations, whilst equities exposure will decrease uniformly across all three portfolios should the house view be bearish on equities. Given the application of the SMMI house view exposure approach it is highly unlikely that these portfolios will ever have similar effective equity exposures.
The portfolio will obtain offshore exposure through investment in participatory interests of collective investment schemes approved in terms of the Act. This portfolio will comply with regulations governing pension funds.
