1 Cash Value 2 (R 000s) ZA Reg 28 Foord Conservative Fund INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The fund aims to provide investors with a net-of-fee return of 4% per annum above the annual change in the South African Consumer Price Index, measured over rolling three-year periods. The portfolio is managed to comply with the statutory investment limits set for retirement funds in South Africa (Regulation 28). INVESTOR PROFILE Given the fund s maximum 6 equity investment restriction, the fund is appropriate for conservative investors who are close to, or typically in, retirement and whose time horizon does not exceed five years. These investors may therefore seek lower levels of investment volatility and risk of shortterm loss than those provided by a less conservative balanced fund.

FEE STRUCTURE The annual fee is based on portfolio performance with the daily rate being adjusted up or down based on the portfolio s one-year rolling return relative to that of its benchmark and is subject to a minimum fee rate. No are levied when the annual net-of-fee portfolio return falls below zero. Fees accrue in the Foord global funds as disclosed. PERFORMANCE FEES Performance align investor and manager return objectives by rewarding the manager for outperformance while penalising the manager for underperformance. Foord s performance fee structure increases or decreases the daily fee levied based on the over- or underperformance of the Foord unit trust portfolios relative to their benchmarks. When the portfolio return exceeds the benchmark return, the daily performance fee rate is increased proportionately. Similarly, underperformance causes the daily performance fee rate to decrease proportionately. Performance fee rates are not capped for the reason that outperformance is generally not earned smoothly. The annual fee is adjusted up or down daily by the performance fee calculated as the difference between the rolling one-year net-of-fee return and the benchmark return for the same period, multiplied by the performance fee sharing rate.

The Investment Strategy vs. Inflation chart shows the annualised returns over rolling 5 years achieved by Foord on a composite of similar portfolios since the inception of the strategy on 1 January 1984 (gross of annual ).

The chart illustrates that the actual composite return achieved for investors over any rolling five-year period has never dipped below the South African inflation rate.

Accordingly, unconstrained mandates are ideal for discretionary savings that are not required to be invested in terms of Regulation 28 limits. The Investment Strategy vs Regulation 28 Portfolios chart compares the investment returns of the unconstrained Foord Flexible Fund of Funds to Regulation 28 mandates managed by Foord (the Foord Balanced Fund returns are net of and therefore have been used for direct comparative purposes). The chart shows that the Foord Flexible Fund has outperformed the Foord Balanced Fund by approximately 3% per annum since its inception, illustrating the long-term opportunity cost of investing discretionary savings in a Regulation 28 portfolio.

Similarly, underperformance causes the daily performance fee rate to decrease proportionately. Performance fee rates are not capped for the reason that outperformance is generally not earned smoothly. The annual fee is adjusted up or down daily by the performance fee calculated by multiplying the performance fee sharing rate by the relative return of the preceding day.

The chart above depicts the monthly returns of the portfolio relative to the monthly returns of its benchmark, the FTSE/JSE All Share Index (ALSI). Bars above the x-axis show months of outperformance against the ALSI, while bars below the x-axis show months of underperformance. Red bars represent months when the ALSI was negative and yellow bars represent months when the ALSI was positive. The chart illustrates that the portfolio has outperformed the benchmark more than 75% of the time when the market was down (red bars above the x-axis). Put differently, the portfolio has achieved after-fee returns in excess of the market, with lower risk of capital loss SECURITY Months when ALSI is positive % OF FUND Naspers "N" 11.5 British American Tobacco 8.6 Steinhoff 7.2 Aspen 6.9 CF Richemont 6.1 RMB Holdings 5.4 Sasol 5.0 BHP Billiton 3.8 Capital & Counties 3.8 Remgro 3.4 CASH SINCE LAST 15 LAST 10 LAST 7 LAST 5 LAST 3 LAST 12 THIS VALUE 2 INCEPTION YEARS YEARS YEARS YEARS YEARS MONTHS MONTH FOORD 3 R % 17.7% 11.1% 15.2% 11.9% 3.9% 0.1% 0.2% BENCHMARK 4 R % 15.8% 10.2% 14.3% 13.1% 6.6% 10.1% 2.6% FOORD HIGHEST 3,5 75.4% 75.4% 47.6% 33.2% 33.2% 9.5% 0.1% FOORD LOWEST 3,5-29.9% -29.9% -29.9% -6.7% -6.7% -6.7% 0.1%
8 Foord Equity Fund COMMENTARY Global equities (+0.2% in US dollars) were largely flat with emerging markets (+2.2%) continuing their strong run iron ore (+13.4%) and copper (+6.6%) prices continued to benefit bourses of commodity export countries The FTSE/JSE All Share Index (+2.7%) moved higher resources (+5.1%), financials (+2.1%) and SA industrials (+2.) all rose A significant bounce in commodity prices provided short-term tailwinds to commodity stocks, a sector in which the fund has a low allocation platinum (+9.7%), industrial metals (+8.7%), gold mining (+8.3%) and general mining (+6.1%) posted good gains Core portfolio holdings FirstRand (+7.1%) and Aspen (+4.9%) contributed positively but Steinhoff (-4.8%) detracted after a negative sensationalist report in a German publication Non-life insurance (+6.8%) led the financials higher and SA banks (+3.8%) advanced again interest rate sensitive sectors found support on expectations of further short-term interest rate cuts The rand (+1.3%) strengthened against a weaker US dollar on buoyant emerging market sentiment South Africa s relatively high real yields remain attractive to investors in zero interest rate developed market economies which should provide continued near-term currency support The managers remain cautious with a firm focus on the long-term, favouring blue chip non-resource rand hedges given the poor domestic economic outlook and sustained political tensions relatively high liquidity provides optionality in the event of increased volatility FEE RATES (CLASS R) Initial, exit and switching Standard annual fee for equalling benchmark Performance fee sharing rate Minimum annual fee Maximum annual fee plus VAT 15% (over- and underperformance) 0.5% plus VAT Uncapped ANNUALISED COST RATIO (CLASS R) 12 MONTHS 36 MONTHS TER Basic 1.15% 1.15% Performance -0.35% -0.08% Transaction costs* % Total cost ratio % * The quantum of transaction costs is affected by the quantum of the gross in and outflows over the period presented. FEE STRUCTURE The annual fee is based on portfolio performance fee with the daily fee rate being adjusted up or down based on the portfolio s one-year rolling return relative to that of its benchmark and subject to a minimum fee rate. PERFORMANCE FEES Performance align investor and manager return objectives by rewarding the manager for outperformance while penalising the manager for underperformance. Foord s performance fee structure increases or decreases the daily fee levied based on the over- or underperformance of the Foord unit trust portfolios relative to their benchmarks. When the portfolio return exceeds the benchmark return, the daily performance fee rate is increased proportionately. Similarly, underperformance causes the daily performance fee rate to decrease proportionately. Performance fee rates are not capped for the reason that outperformance is generally not earned smoothly. The annual fee is adjusted up or down daily by the performance fee calculated as the difference between the rolling one-year net-of-fee return and the benchmark return for the same period, multiplied by the performance fee sharing rate, which may vary from fund to fund.
