Investec BCI Enhanced Income Fund (A) - INVIFD fund information

The Investec Specialist Investments BCI Enhanced Income Fund is a conservative risk profile portfolio with the objective to enhance income returns by offering a liquid, income yielding investment which will substantially track the local short-term interest rate cycle. The income distributed to investors will aim to exceed the average after tax yield normally received from money market portfolios. In order to achieve its objective, the investments normally to be included in the portfolio may comprise a combination of assets in liquid form, money market instruments, interest bearing securities and instruments, bonds, debentures, corporate debt, non-equity securities, equity securities, property related securities and preference shares. The portfolio may 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 equivalent 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 portfolio's maximum net equity exposure will be 10% of its market value. The portfolio may also include forward currency, interest rate and exchange rate swap transactions for efficient portfolio management purposes.
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
