This graph illustrates how an investment of R1000 would have grown had you invested for the time period displayed. Like everything in life, all investments can change and come with some degree of risk. That’s why we need this disclaimer, to tell you that past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance, and that the value of investments/units/unit trusts may go down as well as up. The performance shown by this graph happened in the past and is therefore not guaranteed to happen again in the future. The performance is calculated by taking into account initial and ongoing fund manager fees and assumes that you reinvested all the income earned by the fund over this period.

The other line on the graph is for the performance of the designated benchmark of the fund – normally either an index or other funds in the industry that are comparable to the fund you’ve chosen.

The Fund Manager has the right to close the portfolio to new investors in order to manage it more efficiently in accordance with its mandate. The actual fund performance can be viewed on the fund factsheet. Annualised return is the weighted average compound growth rate over the period measured.
