The Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act, 2002
Allan Gray Proprietary Limited ('Allan Gray') is an authorised financial services provider in terms of the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act, 2002 and is a member of the Association for Savings and Investment South Africa (‘ASISA’). Allan Gray is not authorised to and does not provide financial advice. No information contained in this email communication, including attachments, should be construed, or relied upon, as advice. If you require financial and/or investment advice, please engage the services of an independent financial adviser.
The Collective Investment Schemes Control Act, 2002
Allan Gray Unit Trust Management (RF) Proprietary Limited (the ‘Management Company’) is registered as a management company under the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act 2002, in terms of which it operates unit trust portfolios under the Allan Gray Unit Trust Scheme, and is supervised by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority. Allan Gray is the appointed investment manager (‘Investment Manager’) of the Management Company. Collective Investment Schemes in Securities (unit trusts or funds) are generally medium to long-term investments. Except for the Allan Gray Money Market Fund, where the Investment Manager aims to maintain a constant unit price, the value of units may go down as well as up. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Movements in exchange rates may also cause the value of underlying international investments to go up or down. The Management Company does not provide any guarantee regarding the capital or the performance of its unit trusts. It is therefore important to understand the risks involved before investing. Funds may be closed to new investments at any time in order for them to be managed according to their mandates. Unit trusts are traded at ruling prices and can engage in borrowing and scrip lending. A schedule of fees, charges and maximum commissions is available on request, at no charge, from Allan Gray. The trustee/custodian of the Allan Gray Unit Trust Scheme is Rand Merchant Bank, a division of FirstRand Bank Limited. The trustee/custodian can be contacted at RMB Custody and Trustee Services: Tel: +27 (0)11 301 6335 or www.rmb.co.za.
