The Old Mutual Interest Plus Fund shall be a portfolio predominantly investing in interest yielding securities.The investment objective of the portfolio is to maximise the level of income achieved within the restrictions set out in the investment policy, whilst providing maximum capital stability. The portfolio will aim to deliver returns in excess of money market yields and current account yields. In order to achieve the portfolio's investment objectives, the Old Mutual Interest Plus Fund will, apart from limited exposure to equity securities, be permitted to invest in a flexible mix of predominantly interest yielding securities, including but not limited to bonds, fixed deposits, listed debentures, preference shares, money market instruments such as negotiable certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, debentures, treasury bills, floating rate notes and call accounts, and other high yielding securities, as well as any other income instruments which may be approved by the Registrar from time to time, both locally and abroad, thereby generating income, whilst preserving capital. In respect of the flexible nature of this portfolio, the portfolio may apart from limited exposure to equity be fully invested in any of the above-mentioned asset classes at any particular time. Nothing contained in this supplemental deed shall preclude the manager from varying the ratios of securities to best position the portfolio to achieve its objective in a changing economic environment or market conditions or to meet the requirements, if applicable, of any exchange recognised in terms of the Act and from retaining cash or placing cash on deposit in terms of the deed and any supplemental deeds thereto.The portfolio will be permitted to invest its assets in foreign investment markets to the extent of the industry limit from time to time for Domestic funds, including securities listed on an exchange outside the Republic as legislation permits.The Portfolio may from time to time include participatory interests or any other form of participation in portfolios of collective investment schemes or other similar schemes registered in the Republic of South Africa, or of participatory interests or any other form of participation in portfolios of collective investment schemes or other similar schemes operated in territories other than South Africa, with a regulatory environment which is to the satisfaction of the manager and the trustee of a sufficient standard to provide investors protection at least equivalent to that in South Africa. The portfolio may invest in financial instruments (derivatives) as allowed by the Act from time to time in order to achieve its investment objective. The use of over the counter derivatives will be limited to forward currency contracts and interest rate- or exchange rate swap transactions.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. The trustee shall ensure that the investment policy set out in this supplemental deed is carried out.
