1 QUARTERLY FUND OVERVIEW FOR THE QUARTER ENDING 31 AUGUST 2018

2 VIEW FROM THE FUND MANAGER S DESK Glenn Moore Interest Rates Trend: Flat Short Term: Flat Remain on hold for now but if the Rand remains under pressure and inflation begins to rise the Reserve Bank may be forced to act. Bonds Trend: Flat Short Term: Up The emerging market crisis and the flight to Dollars has put our bond market under pressure. Yields are back above 9%. Property Trend: Down Short Term: Flat The rise in bond yields and some anaemic results from listed property companies has kept the sector under pressure. The weak Rand and a lacklustre economy remain a headwind for the sector. Equity Trend: Flat Short Term: Up Best way to describe the equity market is lacklustre and volatile. Company results of South African dependent businesses have been below expectations. Resource companies are benefitting from the weak Rand. Rand hedges are mostly up, but not by as much as the Rand is depreciating. The Rand Trend: Weak Short Term: Weaker This quarter we have seen an emerging market crisis. It started in Turkey and has caused significant currency depreciation in South America. The Rand as a liquid proxy for emerging market currencies has been battered by the foreign investors. 2

6 PERSONAL TRUST CONSERVATIVE MANAGED FUND INCOME DISTRIBUTIONS September 2017 December 2017 March 2018 June 2018 Paid in the last 12 months CLASS R 1.82 cpu 1.27 cpu 1.72 cpu 1.68 cpu 6.48 cpu 12 month historic yield 3.61% COMMENTARY The Personal Trust Conservative Managed Fund delivered a positive return of 4.6% this quarter, however the fund was too conservatively positioned relative to the benchmark. A feature of the quarter was the dramatic depreciation in the Rand, primarily on the back of the emerging market crisis in Turkey. Our offshore assets, Dollar cash, bonds and global equities produced double digit returns, however our offshore property and commodity exposure did not match the Rand depreciation. At the end of last quarter we reduced our domestic equity exposure from 35% to 30%, due to our concern with respect to the trade war and shrinking Dollar liquidity. This proved to be premature and as a result our local equity portfolio underperformed the market. We remain cautiously positioned relative to the benchmark in all the asset classes as we believe that caution is the better part of the valour in the current environment.

A feature of the quarter was the dramatic depreciation in the Rand on the back of an emerging market crisis in Turkey. The offshore assets in the portfolio delivered double digit returns, however our returns from offshore property and commodities failed to match the depreciation in the Rand. The local equity market also had a positive quarter primarily on the back of Naspers and the Rand hedge counters. Our cautious stance toward the equity market reflected in our underweight exposure to local equities detracted from our performance relative to the benchmark. The fund remains tentatively positioned in risk assets, while overexposed to high income yielding bonds and fixed income instruments.

12 PTI GLOBAL SELECT MANAGERS CAUTIOUS FUND COMMENTARY Credo Capital Plc The third quarter was a stronger period for risk assets & a relatively flat period for global bond markets. Although shorter term US interest rates continued the upward trajectory they have been on throughout the year, the longer end of the yield curve did not experience significant movement, leading to a stabilisation in Global Bond indices after sharp drawdowns at the beginning of the year. Global equities rose over the period, reentering into strongly positive territory after the parabolic rise & pullback in early February. Notably the year to date returns have been more concentrated in a smaller group of stocks, as US Tech companies continue to contribute a large proportion of the returns. Global REITs were also a strong sector, recovering sharply following a relatively large drawdown during the volatility in the first quarter. Brooks MacDonald Asset Management One of the major themes of 2018 has been the divergence in growth between the US & the rest of the world. The US began the year buoyed by the tax reforms & has maintained this momentum, supported by two exceptionally strong corporate earnings seasons. Meanwhile, the rest of the world has seen a loss of impetus; for example, the European manufacturing purchasing managers index fell in each month of the first half of This filtered through to rates markets via expectations that the US Federal Reserve will continue to raise rates while the European Central Bank & Bank of England maintain a more dovish course. The US dollar has been a strong beneficiary of this during the past six months, with the currency rallying significantly on a trade-weighted basis. Non-US markets have lagged as a result & not contributed widely from either an outright performance or currency perspective. Bond markets have been slightly negative on a total-return basis as rates have nudged higher & the threat of a trade war has diminished & reduced the risk-off attraction of sovereign bonds. Diversifiers such as commodities & property have also been poor performers in the year to date, affected by the strength of the US dollar & corporate tax cuts respectively. In such an environment, the benefits of diversification have not seemed very evident. On the plus side, with the US earnings season drawing to a close, the second quarter has proven to be another strong period bolstered by tax cuts & a supportive consumer backdrop. Overall, 80% of US companies have reported actual earnings per share (EPS) above the mean EPS estimate, marking the highest percentage beat since 2008 & up from 78% recorded in the first quarter. Expectations heading into the third quarter also remain high, & coupled with Jerome Powell s relatively dovish recent speech, we expect corporate earnings to continue to support valuations & for inflationary pressures to remain under control. The caveat to this is that the Federal Reserve has been reducing the size of its balance sheet since the start of the year, which is gradually causing global liquidity to decrease. This has catalysed pockets of volatility, which are likely to recur if & when geopolitical or economic risks come to the fore.

16 PERSONAL TRUST EQUITY FUND INCOME DISTRIBUTIONS September 2017 December 2017 March 2018 June 2018 Paid in the last 12 months CLASS R 1.26 cpu 0.21 cpu 1.23 cpu - cpu 2.69 cpu 12 month historic yield 1.62% COMMENTARY The Personal Trust Equity Fund maintains a long term thematic focus. The Fund remains positioned to benefit from the long-term thematic impacts, such as the ongoing potential of Sovereign Debt downgrades, given the continued failure of an indebted SA to implement structural reforms ; any disappointment in the growth trajectory will likely adversely impact revenue collection and further worsen SA s fiscal metrics. The USDZAR weakened by almost 13% in August, the biggest monthly decline since September The rand is a high beta currency and therefore prone to the severe side-effects of EM troubles. Good performances from the top ten holdings saw Sasol ( overweight O/W +11.2% MoM; YTD 34.52%); Richemont (equal weight +13.3% MoM; YTD 16.80%) and even Naspers (underweight +1.0% MoM; -5.37% YTD despite Tencent s share price drop). Also, BHP Billiton (O/W +4.3% MoM, +25.7% YTD); Bidcorp (O/W +19% MoM; 4.19% YTD), Investec Plc (O/W % MoM; YTD 7.81%). Negative contributions - Remgro (O/W 1.27 MoM; % YTD); BATS (O/W 1.87% MoM; YTD %); Nepi (O/W % MoM; YTD 34.45) and lastly Shoprite (O/W 6.78% MoM; YTD 7.77%). Thus, the fund retains a balance between Rand hedge and SA Inc. counters; this despite the quarter return below the JSE All Share Index returns. The fund and the top ten holdings still reflects the investment philosophy which favours high quality, highly liquid companies with consistent long-term track records; the guiding principles of the Investment Councils agreed investment process.
