A schedule of fees and charges and maximum commissions is available from the Manager on request. Collective investments are traded at ruling prices and can engage in borrowing and scrip lending. The Manager does not provide any guarantee either with respect to the capital or the return of a portfolio. SCI retains full legal responsibility for the third party portfolio.

An annualised return is the weighted average compound growth rate over the period measured. Performance is based on NAV to NAV calculations with income reinvestments done on the ex-div date. Performance is calculated for the portfolio and the individual investor performance may differ as a result of initial fees, actual investment date, date of reinvestment and dividend withholding tax.
Mandate
The Obsidian Sanlam Collective Investments Multi Asset Retail Hedge Fund will aim to maximise long term capital growth. It invests across the full ambit of asset classes, namely equity, property, bonds, commodities, and cash. It has a global mandate, but will retain a bias toward South African assets. Given its demanding benchmark of SA CPI + 3%, it will also tend to have a material equity exposure. The fund mandate is available upon request.
Investment strategy
Active asset allocation and stock selection are employed to construct a diversified portfolio that targets a real return through the investment cycle. The accommodating investment mandate enables the fund to take long positions in the most attractive investment opportunities, and short positions in those that are deemed to be overvalued. Construction is driven solely by the investment philosophy and process of the firm; exposures are agnostic of any benchmark.
Management fees
The annual management fee is 1.5% with a 20% performance fee above benchmark returns. The high watermark principle applies. Other classes available.
