Investec BCI Property Fund (A) - INVPA fund information

The investment objective of the Investec Wealth & Investment BCI Property Fund is to provide investors with a growing income stream that can translate into capital growth over the medium to long term. 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, preference shares, non-equity securities and assets in liquid form. The portfolio will invest at least 80% of the market value of the portfolio in shares listed in the FTSE / JSE Real Estate industry group or similar sector of an international stock exchange and may include other high yielding securities from time to time. Up to 10% of the portfolio may be invested in shares outside the property sector in companies that conduct similar business activities. 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 Trustee shall ensure that the investment policy set out in this Supplemental Deed is carried out.
