Our investment capabilities

Equities

Equities

We invest in equity-only mandates with an objective to create long-term capital growth for our clients by investing in shares that we believe offer value and the potential for higher risk-adjusted returns over time.​ Our equities strategies are available as South African domestic only funds; global equities and international equities. ​

Fixed income

Fixed income

Our approach to fixed income investing is rooted in a commitment to delivering consistent risk-adjusted returns while preserving capital.​ Our fixed income process incorporates an overall macro-economic lens, narrowing in on fixed income, thereby combining a fundamental approach with tactical positioning.​ The capability is available within a domestic and global balanced fund context and as stand-alone strategies (enhanced cash, bonds and flexible fixed income).​

Multi-asset class

Multi-asset class

Our multi-asset class portfolios invest in equities, fixed income, commodities and property. They aim to achieve real returns and deliver long-term capital growth while minimising the risk of capital loss.​ Our multi-asset class portfolios combine our top-down asset allocation approach and our bottom-up instrument specific skill to construct a diversified portfolio. This capability is available as a South African-only domestic multi-asset class offering or as global multi-asset class solution, incorporating both South African and global asset classes (and subject to Regulation 28 of the South African Pension Funds Act).​

Fund overview

The Perpetua SCI Equity Fund aims to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns relative to the market benchmark in the medium to long term by using Perpetua’s bottom-up research and stock selection while controlling the risk of underperformance in the short term through portfolio construction. The portfolio is suitable for investors who seek long term alpha generation while limiting the risk of short term underperformance.

Portfolio managers
