Ashburton Equity Fund

Investing in South African listed equity securities with the aim of delivering returns ahead of the FTSE/JSE Capped SWIX All Share TR ZAR

Objective and strategy

The Ashburton Equity Fund aims to achieve capital growth and deliver returns ahead of the FTSE/JSE Capped SWIX All Share TR ZAR over the long term. In order to achieve its investment objective, the fund will typically be fully invested in financially sound South African listed ordinary shares. While the manager is permitted to invest in fixed income securities and offshore investments by legislation, the Ashburton Equity fund’s strategy is to invest in South African listed equities only. Equity investments are typically volatile by nature and subject to potential capital loss. Portfolio operations and managers were restructured on 01/10/2021.

 

Investor profile

The fund is suitable for investors who require exposure to the equity market to achieve long-term capital growth. The investor should be able to tolerate investment volatility in the short to medium term.
