Discovery Target Retirement 2040 Fund (A) - DTR40 fund information

Investment Strategy The fund aims to provide long-term real returns with appropriate levels of risk for investors, given the fund's target date and investors' retirement date. The fund may invest in JSE listed companies, listed gilts and interest bearing securities, money market instruments, listed property companies or securities, listed derivative instruments, participatory units in collective investment schemes and foreign investments. The fund is compliant with Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act. Fund Objectives The objective of the fund will be to maximise the total real returns, comprising both capital and income, over the anticipated life span of the selected portfolio. The risk profile of the selected portfolio will vary over the investment term following the cohort of investors who anticipate a retirement date close to 2040. Investment Philosophy The fund seeks to maximise its exposure to those asset classes which appear cheaply priced relative to their long run fundamentals and/or cheap relative to other asset classes. The fund looks to hold lower weightings in asset classes that look expensive relative to their fundamentals and/or their other relevant asset classes. The funds approach is contrarian in nature and is therefore likely to be a buyer of assets when others are selling and a seller when others are buying.
