10X FUND MANAGERS (RF) (PTY) LTD (THE "MANAGER")
ANNUAL INVESTOR REPORT
For the year ended 31 December 2024

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

It is my pleasure to present the annual report of the Manager, the 10X Collective Investment Schemes and 10X Exchange
Traded Fund Scheme (the "Schemes") and their respective portfolios for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Market Review

In 2024, global financial markets delivered exceptional performance, reflected by the MSCI All Country World Index recording
a total return of 19.2%. This strong showing was largely driven by developed markets—particularly the United States—where
the S&P 500 Index surged by 25% (29% in ZAR), marking the second consecutive year of returns exceeding 25%. A major
contributor to this rally was the "Magnificent Seven" mega-cap technology firms, which collectively soared by 67.3%. Since
the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, enthusiasm around artificial intelligence has dominated market sentiment. Additionally, a
resilient U.S. economy, easing inflation, and optimism surrounding Trump-era tax policies bolstered investor confidence in the
outlook for corporate earnings and shareholder returns.

Emerging markets also posted positive, albeit more modest, gains of 8.1%, supported by a year-end rebound in Chinese equities
and strong performances from markets such as India and Taiwan. Commodities, on the other hand, delivered more muted returns
of 5.4%, held back by soft demand from China. For South African investors, 2024 was a pivotal year. The national election
results and the relatively smooth transition to a Government of National Unity (GNU) helped reduce political risk and increased
optimism around potential structural reforms. Furthermore, a notable reduction in loadshedding provided a foundation for
improved consumer and business confidence. The South African bond market delivered outstanding results, generating equity-
like returns of 17%, while the local stock market outperformed many emerging market peers with a return of 13%.

Overall, the strong performance across both local and global markets contributed to solid returns across our unit trust and ETF
range for the second consecutive year. Our broad product offering and risk-managed multi-asset funds continued to attract
significant inflows and remain well positioned to navigate what may be a volatile period ahead.

Comment

10X continued to see asset growth across our fund range underscoring the positive contribution the company is making to the
local savings and investments market. As a board and management team we remain positive and steadfast as we aim to grow and
improve the company's investment proposition and our role within the industry.

There were no circumstances during the year which affected the financial affairs of the Manager and its Portfolios. All the
Portfolios complied with their respective investment policies and objectives as contained in the supplemental deeds. There
were no qualifications made by in the auditor's report on the financial statements. Copies of the audited annual financial
statements 10X Fund Managers (RF) (Pty) Ltd, the 10X Collective Investment Scheme, and 10X Exchange Traded Fund
Scheme are available, free of charge, on request by email to info@10x.co.za.

clients, thank you for your sustained loyalty and invaluable support.

Dear Sir/Madam


TRUSTEE REPORT ON THE 10X EXCHANGE TRADED FUND SCHEME

As Trustees to the 10X Exchange Traded Fund Scheme ("the Scheme"), we are required in terms of the Collective Investment
Schemes Control Act, 2002 (Act No. 45 of 2002) ("the Act") to report to participatory interest holders on the administration of the
Scheme during each annual accounting period.

We advise for the period 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 we reasonably believe that the Manager has administered the
Scheme in accordance with:

            (i)         the limitations imposed on the investment and borrowing powers of the manager by the Act; and
            (ii)        the provisions of the Act and the relevant deeds.


We confirm that according to the records available to us there were no material instances of compliance contraventions and
therefore no consequent losses incurred by the portfolios in the year.


Yours faithfully

Ruan van Dyk                                                               Marian Rutters
