**Sygnia FANG.AI Equity Fund Class A

Investment objective and strategy
The objective of the Sygnia FANG.AI Equity Fund is to provide a simple vehicle to investors seeking investment exposure to companies that use advanced technologies to acquire and retain users, including industry disrupting technologies such as artificial intelligence, large language models, cloud storage, big data, social media and e-commerce tools. The portfolio holdings are actively managed and depend on a number of factors, including the underlying benchmark, the NYSE® FANG+™Index (although the portfolio is not obliged to hold all the benchmark constituents).

What the fund invests in

Risk profile
The fund has a high risk profile, as it is predominantly invested in global equities, which combines both equity market and currency risks. Furthermore, the fund invests specifically in companies involved in new and emerging technologies, which have a high degree of volatility. Risk is also high as the fund is a concentrated portfolio, with the fund’s benchmark comprised of only ten shares. Effective exposure of the portfolio invested outside South Africa is always above 80% and is affected by, among other factors, general market risk, exchange rate risk, interest rate risks, liquidity risk and legal and regulatory risk.

Who should invest
The fund is suitable for investors seeking currency diversification and higher returns with a view to long-term capital growth. It is also suited to investors willing to tolerate a higher risk of volatility in performance through exposure to companies involved in transformative technologies.

And for how long?
A minimum of 5 years.
