About the Manager and Strategy

RISK
75-99

The portfolio is actively managed. and the strategy is to remain fully exposed to international equities. Machabeng is invested in companies that represent superior intrinsic value. that are underpinned by strong fundamentals and that are backed by experienced management teams with solid track records. The firms are identified and selected using a disciplined investment process. This process is based on detailed bottom-up research conducted with a long-term view.

US dollar-denominated assets make up 100% of the portfolio. which has a long-term strategic target to hold assets priced in hard currencies. Exposure to other major currencies – including the Euro. Swiss franc Chinese yuan. Japanese yen and British pound – is achieved through the operations of the underlying companies in geographies outside of the US.

The exposure to equities is established through a concentrated portfolio of companies held over long investment periods. which means portfolio management costs are kept as low as possible. The primary goal of the portfolio is to produce high capital growth over the long term measured in US dollars.

The Machabeng Portfolio invests in a portfolio of global equities. Exposure to growth-based. dollar-priced assets means that the portfolio does not comply with the investment limits governing retirement funds (Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act). There are no limits or constraints to the geographic allocation or currency allocation of the portfolio. The portfolio matches equity sector exposure based on global equity market sector exposures. The underlying assets are then chosen based on valuation. financial strength and equity class. and thereafter certain equities are excluded based on their environmental. social or governance issues. These shares are held over the longer term to realize their value.

The portfolio is suited to investors who:

  • seek long-term capital growth ahead of US dollar consumer price inflation and ahead of headline equity-market indices (specifically the S&P 500);
  • can tolerate short-term portfolio volatility associated with an aggressive investment mandate;
  • need global investment exposure; and
  • have an investment horizon of at least five years.
