Investor Personality Profile
The Client acknowledges that taking on risk is required to earn real returns in line with her
medium and long-term investment goals. The Client acknowledges that fluctuations in the net
asset value (NAV) of her portfolio are pertinent due to the intrinsic uncertainty associated with
domestic and foreign capital markets.
The establishment of risk tolerance of this IPS with respect to the Primary Client’s risk appetite
for medium and long-term variations in NAV has been considered and finalised until further
revision is required.
The Primary Client is moderately risk averse as suggested by personality questionnaires
pertaining to risk appetite2. The Client is willing to take on moderate risk to meet medium and
long-term investment objectives and is financially able to take on moderate risk. This has been
determined by The Client’s stable joint income and joint retirement annuities. Future income
is expected to remain highly stable for The Client and current savings (joint retirement annuity
and defined benefit contribution plans) are expected to appreciate in real terms at a rate deemed
acceptable by the Advisor and Manager.

See Appendix for risk tolerance questionnaires completed by The Primary Client.

ii. Statement of Objectives (Investment Goals)
This IPS describes the investment process the Manager deems acceptable to meet The Client’s
medium and long-term investment objectives given The Client’s ability and willingness to take
on moderate risk. The investment process has been designed to meet the following objectives:
1. Provide additional financial security for retirement (over and above current retirement
investment vehicles set in place)
2. Maintain and grow current nest-egg (R5,000,000.00) for medium-term purchases
a. University Fees (Present value (PV) of R100,000.00 per year per dependent
for 3 years each
b. First vehicles for each dependent (PV of R120,000.00 per vehicle, paid in
cash)
c. Apartment purchase for dependents’ study term (PV R1,600,000.00) cash
or 20% (R320,000.00) bond down-payment). Asset to be used for
investment purposes after dependents’ study term
3. Ensure excess funds for semi-annual holiday during retirement period (PV of
R80,000.00 per holiday)
It is assumed that a principal of R5 million will be deposited with monthly contributions of
R36,871.95, occurring at the beginning of each month, will be compounded at an effective
annual rate (EAR) of 19.3% up until 2023. It is expected that the optimal portfolio will generate
an EAR of 12% per annum thereafter, ceteris paribus.

iii. Asset Allocation Model
Management has selected a moderately risky portfolio with emphasis on balance between the
major asset classes whilst leaning towards domestic and foreign equity over the other available
instruments. Although Management wanted to weight foreign equity more heavily, given
domestic uncertainty, the available exchange traded funds (ETFs) offered by our service
providers, Sharenet and SATRIX, were limited.
It is not favourable to purchase foreign currency denominated ETFs due to the transaction costs
and management fees quoted in the respective foreign currencies. However, Management has
elected to purchase a select group of foreign ETFs which make up approximately 7.05% of the
Portfolio.
Management has chosen to select a basket of passive investment vehicles, predominantly ETFs,
as they are liquid, have low transaction costs (provided they are purchased in domestic
currency), require low management fees, and are already highly diversified.
Management has opted to keep domestic property weights low due to property rights
uncertainty in South Africa with regards to commercial agricultural land. This uncertainty is
believed to affect Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), who manage agricultural property,
adversely.
Finally, Management has elected to create a hedged fund as this management style has
produced superior Sharpe ratios compared to long-only fund management styles during the
time frame analysed. This is discussed further in the Investment Decision section.
The Client is satisfied with the portfolio choice, management style, and the policy asset
allocation model proposed. The risks of the portfolio align with The Client’s ability and
willingness to take on said risk.

iv. Investment Decisions
Asset Selection
Management has identified seven classes of investable assets which, when weighted correctly,
will create a well-diversified portfolio. These asset classes are; domestic and foreign equity,
domestic and foreign fixed income bonds, domestic and foreign property investments, and the
money market. The tables below show how each individual asset has been weighted according
to its asset class in relation to the Portfolio. The tables also show a comparison between the
hedged fund strategy versus the long-only fund strategy.

Long-Only Fund Management Strategy
The above tables show optimised portfolios per strategy during the period under consideration
(2014 to 2018 monthly continuous returns) given the strategic policy weightings as constraints.
It is noticeable that the traditional long-only strategy concentrates risks in one asset per asset
class instead of diversifying between individual assets in each asset class. This will result in a
lack of exposure to desired markets. Concentration of this risk is evident when comparing the
portfolio variances between the two strategies employed.
The hedged fund strategy has considerably less risk with a variance of 0.0001 compared to the
long-only strategy with a variance of 0.006. By taking the square root of these variances can
we compare the degree of riskiness with more clarity. The standard deviation of the long-only
fund is 2.40% per month compared to the standard deviation of the hedged fund at 1.21% per
month.
The returns by the long-only strategy fall below the returns of the hedged fund strategy with
0.77% per month versus 1.48% per month respectively. The combination of higher risk and
lower returns on the long-only fund results in a comparably low Sharpe ratio (excess return per
CC CAPITAL PTY (LTD)
unit of risk using the R186 rate)3 of 0.0103 per month versus 0.6137 per month of the hedged
fund strategy.
Finally, the value at risk (VaR)4 for each strategy is more telling. The long-only fund has a
monthly VaR of 3.94% per month at the 5% level of significance. Translated into monetary
terms, the fund is susceptible to a maximum draw down of R196,795.07 per month based on
the R5 million principal. The nominal value increases when the monthly contributions are
considered.
The VaR for the hedged fund strategy is 0.88% at the 5% level of significance, translated into
monetary terms, the fund is susceptible to a maximum drawdown of R44,089.20 per month,
considerably less than that of the long-only strategy.

Investment Fees
SATRIX ETFs incur fees of 0.5% per annum (VAT inclusive) with similar products offering
approximately similar fees, except for the Allan Gray Money Market Fund which incurs 0.29%
per annum (VAT inclusive). International ETFs, barring SATRIX products, incur an average
expense ratio of 0.44% before currency transaction costs. Due to the relationship with
Management’s brokers, the fund can secure favourable exchange rate spreads far below what
an individual investor has access to5.
3
The excess return is simply the expected return less the risk-free rate, where the risk-free rate is the current
yield on the South African R186 10-year government bond of 8.98%
4
Value at Risk is a statistical measure using the variation of returns to determine the maximum draw down or
loss expected at a given level of significance.
5
Average spreads offered by retail banks to retail and personal investors average 3.5% to 4% (FNB.com)
CC CAPITAL PTY (LTD)
Management investment fees, after tax, are in line with competitive hedge funds at 1% with a
20% performance fee over and above the benchmark of CPI + 4% and is subject to highwater
marks6.
Management fees are charged for the active management and rebalancing of the portfolio and
for general costs associated with managing The Client’s portfolio. A full break down of
management fees are available through our Investor’s Portal on our website
cccapital.co.za/investor_portal/management_fees/.
6
Performance fees are only charged once NAV of portfolio/fund exceeds previous levels, thus protecting the
investor against double charging when a fund/portfolio recoups losses from previous periods.
CC CAPITAL PTY (LTD)
v. Portfolio Records and Monitoring
The Client’s Portfolio is recorded by Management for convenience and can be viewed
through The Client’s Investor Profile on our website
cccapital.co.za/investor_portal/my_investments/.
Alternatively, Management sends out a monthly email summarising NAV movements of the
Portfolio. Additionally, a semi-annual report on the Portfolio is distributed to The Client,
labelled “The Last 6 Months in Review” , and discusses key market related concerns and
general forecasts made by Management.
Portfolio Management Evaluation
Management performance is evaluated annually against the respective benchmark (CPI +
4%). Should Management miss the benchmark, the Advisor will call in a management
review. Management is required to release an annual report on Portfolio performance and
highlight reasons as to why the Portfolio missed the benchmark should this event occur. If the
benchmark is missed two years in succession, all management fees will be waived, and
transfer-of-management costs will be revised downwards.
As previously mentioned, the Portfolio is evaluated against CPI + 4%.
