In order to achieve the portfolio objective, the portfolio's asset allocation and instrument selection will be actively managed and will continually reflect the portfolio Manager's view of the relative attractiveness of the property shares, property related securities, loan stock listed on exchanges, non-equity securities, bonds, money market instruments and preference share markets.

The portfolio's property exposure will be aligned with that of the Asisa Multi Asset Income portfolios category. The portfolio may also invest in listed and unlisted financial instruments in accordance with the Act as well as in offshore investments as permitted by legislation. The Manager may also include participatory interests and other forms of participation of local and global collective investment schemes, or other similar schemes operated in territories with a regulatory environment which is to the satisfaction of the Manager and Trustee of a sufficient standard to provide investor protection at least equivalent to that in South Africa and which is consistent with the portfolio's primary objective.
