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.
