Mind The (Benchmark) Gap

The document compares the performance of different South African stock market indices over time. It shows that the ALSI, CAPI, SWIX, and capped SWIX indices have had different returns over various periods. The differences are largely attributed to the varying exposure to financial, industrial, and resource stocks between the indices.

CIS Disclosure

Satrix Managers (RF) (Pty) Ltd (Satrix) a registered and approved Manager in Collective Investment Schemes in Securities and an
authorised financial services provider in terms of the FAIS. Collective investment schemes are generally medium- to long-term investments.
Unit Trusts and ETFs the investor essentially owns a “proportionate share” (in proportion to the participatory interest held in the fund) of the
underlying investments held by the fund. With Unit Trusts, the investor holds participatory units issued by the fund while in the case of an
ETF, the participatory interest, while issued by the fund, comprises a listed security traded on the stock exchange. ETFs are index tracking
funds, registered as a Collective Investment and can be traded by any stockbroker on the stock exchange or via Investment Plans and
online trading platforms. ETFs may incur additional costs due to it being listed on the JSE. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to
future performance and the value of investments / units may go up or down. A schedule of fees and charges, and maximum commissions
are available on the Minimum Disclosure Document or upon request from the Manager. Collective investments are traded at ruling prices
and can engage in borrowing and scrip lending. Should the respective portfolio engage in scrip lending, the utility percentage and related
counterparties can be viewed on the ETF Minimum Disclosure Document. The Manager does not provide any guarantee either with respect
to the capital or the return of a portfolio. The index, the applicable tracking error and the portfolio performance relative to the index can be
viewed on the ETF Minimum Disclosure Document and or on the Satrix website.

Performance is based on NAV to NAV calculations of the portfolio. Individual performance may differ to that of the portfolio as a result of
initial fees, actual investment date, dividend withholding tax and income reinvestment date. The reinvestment of income is calculated based
on actual distributed amount and factors such as payment date and reinvestment date must be considered. Annualised return is the
weighted average compound growth rate over the period measured. Cumulative return is the aggregate return of the portfolio for a
specified period.
