Sygnia Itrix Top 40 ETF

Investment objective and strategy
The objective of this Sygnia Itrix Top 40 ETF is to provide simple access to investors who wish to track the movements of the FTSE/JSE Top 40 Index through investing in the physical index securities. The FTSE/JSE TOP 40 Index consists of the largest 40 companies, listed on the JSE, ranked by investable market capitalisation in the FTSE/ JSE All-Share Index. This is a high risk, passively managed index tracking fund, with an objective to provide simple access to investors who wish to track the movements of the FTSE/JSE TOP 40 Index through investing in the physical index securities. The investment policy of the portfolio is to track the index as closely as practically and feasibly possible by buying securities included in the index at similar weighting as they are included in the index. Whenever the index gets rebalanced, the portfolio will purchase the newly included constituent securities and will sell the constituent securities which were excluded from the index. Derivatives are allowed for efficient portfolio management.

What the fund invests in

Risk profile
The fund has a 100% strategic allocation to local equities. The structure of the fund is dictated by the composition of the FTSE/JSE TOP 40 Index. The fund aims to achieve its investment objective with acceptable levels of short term volatility relative to the benchmark index.

Who should invest
The Sygnia Itrix Top 40 ETF has a high risk profile and is designed to track the Index as closely as possible by buying securities included in the Index at similar weighting as they are included in the Index. It is a suitable investment for investors seeking higher returns, those who are willing to tolerate higher volatility and investors who aim to maximise capital accumulation over a longer-term time horizon. The investment is also suitable for investors who wish to maximise their returns in the most cost-effective manner without the need to select asset managers or take on the risk of active and subjective investment decision-making processes. Given the specialist nature of the fund, it should be used as part of a diversified investment strategy rather than as a sole equity investment.

And for how long?
A minimum of 5 years.

A higher TER does not necessarily imply a poor return, nor does a low TER imply a good return. The current TER may not necessarily be an accurate indication of future TER’s. Transaction Costs are a necessary cost in administering the Financial Product and impacts Financial Product returns. It should not be considered in isolation as returns may be impacted by many other factors over time including market returns, the type of Financial Product, the investment decisions of the investment manager and the TER.
