("ETPs"), Notes and Securities listed both on local and global markets, subject to the maximum
prudential limits, as well as unlisted securities, as permitted under the Act.

collective investment schemes, registered in South Africa and other similar schemes operated in
territories with a regulatory environment which is to the satisfaction of the manager and trustee of a
sufficient standard to provide investor protection at least equivalent to that in South Africa and which is
consistent with the portfolio's primary objective.
The portfolio may from time to time invest in listed and unlisted financial instruments, in accordance
with the provisions of the Act, and the Regulations thereto, as amended from time to time, in order to
achieve the portfolio's investment objective. The manager may only include the following unlisted
financial instruments for efficient portfolio management purposes: forward currency, interest rate and
exchange rate swap transactions.
