Sygnia Itrix Euro Stoxx 50 ETF

Investment objective and strategy
The investment policy of the Sygnia Itrix Euro Stoxx 50 ETF is to track the Index as closely as possible, by buying only DJ EURO STOXX 50 securities which are excluded from the Index from time to time as a result of quarterly Index review or corporate actions or which are required to be sold to ensure that the portfolio holds DJ EURO STOXX 50 securities in the same weighting as they are included in the Index. The fund is a high risk, passively managed index tracking fund and its objective is to replicate the price and yield performance of the Euro Stoxx 50® Index as closely as possible by physically holding a portfolio of securities equivalent to the basket of securities comprising the Index. Derivatives are allowed for efficient portfolio management. Index performance data can be sourced from Bloomberg, Reuters, other data providers and at www.sygnia.co.za.

What the fund invests in

Risk Profile

The fund has a 100% strategic allocation to European equities. The risk in the fund is managed by spreading investments across sectors and individual shares, but the structure of the fund is dictated by the composition of the EURO STOXX 50 Index. The focus on a high-dividend stream and mid- to large-cap companies provides an added benefit in terms of risk management.

Who should invest
The Sygnia Itrix Euro Stoxx 50 ETF has a high risk profile and targets an overall 100% allocation to a concentrated selection of 50 market-sector-leading eurozone companies. It is a suitable investment for investors seeking higher returns, those willing to tolerate higher volatility and those aiming to maximise capital accumulation over the longer term. The investment is also suitable for investors who wish to maximise their returns in the most cost-effective manner without having to select asset managers or take on the risk of active and subjective investment decision-making processes. Given the specialist nature of the fund, it should be used as part of a diversified investment strategy rather than as a sole equity investment.

And for how long?
A minimum of 5 years.

Excess management fees for investors over R10m are included in the above TER and are distributed back to the investor at each distribution date. A higher TER does not necessarily imply a poor return, nor does a low TER imply a good return. The current TER may not necessarily be an accurate indication of future TERs. TCs are a necessary cost in administering the financial product and impact financial product returns. TCs should not be considered in isolation, as returns may be impacted by many other factors over time, including market returns, the type of financial product, the investment decisions of the investment manager and the TER.

Disclosure
The Sygnia Group is a member of the Association for Savings and Investment SA. Sygnia ltrix (RF) (Pty) Ltd is a registered and approved Manager under the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act, 2002. Sygnia Asset Management (Pty) Limited (FSP 873), an authorised financial services provider, is the appointed investment manager of the Fund. Sygnia ltrix does not provide any guarantee with respect to the capital or return of the portfolio. Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) are generally medium to long-term investments. Collective investment schemes are traded at ruling prices and can engage in borrowing and scrip lending. The value of investments/units may go down as well as up and past performance is not necessarily an indicator of future performance. ETFs trade on stock exchanges and may therefore incur additional costs associated with listed securities. Unlike a unit trust, which can be bought or sold only once per day, an ETF can be traded intraday, during exchange trading hours. ETFs may invest in foreign securities, which may be exposed to macroeconomic, settlement, political, tax, liquidity, and foreign exchange risks. Performance is calculated for the portfolio, and the individual investor performance may differ as a result of trading cost, price paid for investment share. Additional information on the Index including its performance and tracking error can be viewed on the relevant Minimum Disclosure Document (MDD) on www.sygnia.co.za.
