1 You may have read recently about the rise of or the increased use of the term Model Portfolio in relation to advice led investing. It is a term currently being attributed to the type of portfolios being built for financial advisers (both human and robots using algorithms) wishing to match the investment needs of their clients as identified through their financial analysis with a portfolio of assets. This is not a new concept at all. Before the rise of multi-managers and in particular the Fund of Funds unit trusts, single manager fund providers such as Old Mutual, SANLAM, Guardbank (rebranded Liberty and now Stanlib) provided solutions. More recently independent investment managers such as Coronation, Investec and Allan Gray have expanded this single manager universe. Below is an example of one of the most widely used single manager model portfolio unit trust funds in the country with over R100bn asset under management. The early days of the modern model portfolios were called Wrap Funds and essentially, they consisted of a range of existing single manager unit trust funds administered together by a platform provider (LISP). An adviser could change the underlying investments of all of their clients at the same time, making sure all their clients remained invested in their best investment view. Inevitably without this functionality the smaller or less profitably clients were updated later or not at all, causing advice and investment risks to increase and the process was very manual and time consuming for all concerned. With the introduction of capital gains tax in South Africa in 2001 Wrap Funds became tax inefficient as each rebalance of the Model/ Wrap Portfolio triggered a possible capital gains tax event for the investor resulting in lower compounding returns. So started the growth of the Fund of Funds Unit Trust era. Essentially these funds were Wrap Funds inside a tax efficient unit trust vehicle. They were in many cases still managed by the financial adviser rather than an investment manager (this was before FAIS regulations separated and clarified adviser and manager functions). Below is an asset allocation example of a funds of funds. Page 1 of 4
2 Prior and parallel to these events was the emergence worldwide and in South Africa of the professional multimanager investment era. Started as an answer to managing specialist investment mandates in retirement funds and university endowment funds globally, these managers understood that not all single managers were the best in managing all asset classes or sub sectors, some were better in equities vs. fixed income, property vs. private equity, small cap vs. large cap, value vs. momentum, etc. Unlike most financial advisers running fund of funds, these multi-managers applied tried and tested investment theory in the construction of the portfolios. Seed is a multi-manager and below is an example of the makeup of one of our multi-manager balanced unit trust funds. The key difference between a fund of funds and a multi-manager portfolio is that a multi-manager will not usually invest directly into another fund unless it is the most efficient way of getting the exposure they need. They will typically approach the manager they like and want to use and request a segregated portfolio, something special or unique. Again, the reasons for this are multiple but two reasons dominate, first they want the chosen managers best possible ideas only, if a manager has say 20 good ideas in their own unit trust fund the multi-managers may only want the top 8 ideas in their segregated portfolio, this also can result in a portfolio construction similar to a single managers portfolio. Secondly Multi-Managers want to reduce the costs associated with Fund of Funds. Most often segregated portfolios are cheaper than buying a fund managed by the same manager. Below is a table showing the average TER of all ZAR fund of funds vs. the average TER of multi-manager funds. Page 2 of 4
3 Multi Manager AVERAGE TER FoF So why have model portfolios or Wrap funds coming back into vogue? I can identify two key reasons. The first is driven by the rise in further regulation for financial advisers or Category 1 Financial Services Providers. The proposed Retail Distribution Review (RDR) regulations together with Treat Customers Fairly regulations have forced the separation of duties between Category 1 Advisers and Category 2 Investment Managers while insisting that small and large investment clients of the Category 1 Advisers are treated as equals. Only Category 2 investment managers are authorised to proactively and with discretion collectively manage a Model or Wrap portfolio for a group of clients. In an attempt to satisfy these new regulatory conditions Advisers have partnered with or appointed Multi-managers to set up unique Adviser influenced "Model Portfolios" to match the needs of their clients. Below is an example of a Balanced Regulation 28 compliant Model/ Wrap portfolio. The portfolios are largely managed on LISP platforms and can vary widely based on available fund choices, style bias', consumer or adviser brand preferences, costs, etc. Many portfolios are exclusive to the independent adviser or agency force providing them with a unique value proposition. Page 3 of 4
4 In our experience, some of these model portfolios are cheaper than fund of funds and in some cases even single manager funds, especially single managers charge performance fees, thus making them attractive to investors and adviser alike. Seed Investments manages all types of model portfolios to meet the differing needs of its clients and adviser partners. Kind regards, Robert Foster Page 4 of 4

The Manager retains full legal responsibility for any third-party named portfolio (Paragraph 6(1)(g) of BN92). Prescient Management Company and the Trustee are registered and approved under the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act (No.45 of 2002). Collective Investment Schemes in Securities (CIS) should be considered as medium to long-term investments. The value of financial products can increase as well as decrease over time depending on the value of the underlying securities and market conditions and past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance (no guarantee is provided as to the values of any financial product mentioned in this document). The collective investment scheme may borrow up to 10% of the market value of the portfolio to bridge insufficient liquidity. A schedule of fees, charges and maximum commissions is available on request from the Manager. There is no guarantee in respect of capital or returns in a portfolio. A CIS may be closed to new investors in order for it to be managed more efficiently in accordance with its mandate. CIS prices are calculated on a net asset basis, which is the total value of all the assets in the portfolio including any income accruals and less any permissible deductions (brokerage, STT, VAT, auditor s fees, bank charges, trustee and custodian fees and the annual management fee) from the portfolio divided by the number of participatory interests (units) in issue. Forward pricing is used.
