MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Introduction
The Structure of the Retirement Fund Survey
This edition includes fourteen surveys with 46 managers and 335 funds, covering four balanced surveys, nine specialist surveys, and the multi-manager survey.
The criteria for participation in any of the surveys remain unchanged from 2010 where a fund size of R200 million, as well as a 12-month track record, is prerequisite. The R200 million criterion is applicable to all funds in most survey categories except where it is specifically indicated that this criterion is excluded.
Managers are encouraged to submit new entrants into the surveys promptly as we are cognisant of not allowing back-fill bias to skew our historical databases.
All participants are, from time to time, expected to sign a document pertaining to participation rules for the Alexander Forbes Manager Watch™ surveys.
Each survey shows performance returns over different time periods as well as risk-adjusted performance over a three-year period in figures and an easy-to-use graphical format. 2014 saw a number of exits as well as a few entries to the existing surveys. The table on page 7 reflects funds that entered or exited the surveys over the past year, as well as any name changes.
The Manager Watch™ Survey includes a detailed commentary around the pertinent issues experienced by funds within this survey over the various periods to December 2014. This serves to inform readers of the themes that the markets are being influenced by.
We give indicative fee ranges for the different mandates based on fee scales that asset managers submit. We have also differentiated between base fees and performance fees. The fee survey provides transparency and scrutiny of fee structures for different investment mandate within the industry as a means of providing trustees with insight into the costing
of different mandates which can be implemented subject to the cost sensitivities of pension funds. This year we have included an analysis of fee structures over the last 3 years to provide deeper insight into trends in various fee categories and inherent implications.
It is important to note that actual negotiated fees could be lower than published fees.
This publication lists the decomposition of equity funds and explores whether SA Equity managers are different. We also provide a review of what happened in 2014 and how managers performed in light of prevailing economic conditions.
A glossary of commonly used investment terms is included.
Conclusion
It is important to remember that the surveys provide only a platform for asset managers to display returns in a simple and credible way. Whilst trying to keep these surveys simple and easy to read it is imperative to include a number of useful indicators for greater understanding of risk and performance.
Manager evaluation should never be done in isolation but rather with a clear understanding of the weaknesses that any data sources inherently bring to the table. Ideally, analyses need to be done through different market environments using a number of different sources and advice, before a fair assessment of strengths and weaknesses can be made. Lastly, past performance is no indication of future performance – Caveat Emptor!
The Manager Watch™ Survey of Retirement Fund Investment Managers is an annual survey that showcases the performance of institutional fund managers in South Africa and has been published since 1994.

Review of AuM for June 2014
Out of the 40 participating asset managers, Coronation Fund Managers is now the biggest manager with South African investment mandates. Coronation’s growth in AuM of 32.8% was attributed to strong market movements and retail inflows with institutional flows flat for the period. Old Mutual Investment Group and Investec Asset Management are close behind and may be bigger investment houses but this is due to international mandates.
Allan Gray moved up to fourth and had the second highest increase in AuM of 22.6% which was largely driven by market movements. Sanlam Investment Management settled as fifth largest manager despite a 11.0% rise in their asset base. Prescient Investment Management had a substantial drop in their AuM since 2013, attributable to Prescient (Ireland) being sold to J&E Davey, and a change in the reporting requirements of the survey.
Fairtree and Rezco became the two new additions in the survey with AuMs of R15 881m and R2 056m respectively. The total AuM including multi managers has grown by 20.4% over the 12 months. The 10 largest investment management companies in South Africa accounted for 79% of total AuM including multi managers.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Asset Distribution to Manager BEE Ratings
The asset distribution shifted positively in 2014 towards Level 2 asset managers with a 16% drop in the Level 3 contributors. This was not a decision by trustees to allocate assets to better BEE managers but rather an increase in the number of large managers improving their BEE score to Level 2 contributors.
Asset Managers with a BEE status of Level 1 saw no growth in their relative asset base over the last year. The Level 3 asset managers that moved to Level 2 BEE status and improved their rating were Element, Investment Solutions, Prudential, Sanlam Multi
Managers and SIM. AFENA Capital and JM Busha who were Level 5 contributors in 2013 also jumped to Level 2 in 2014. There has been no change to calculation methodology for the BEE scorecard over this period.
Manager Distribution according to BEE Ratings
A total of 7 of the top 10 managers were rated Level 2 contributors and the remaining 3 managers were
Level 3 contributors. Aeon, Argon, Mergence, Oasis, Pam and Vunani are the only Level 1 contributors out of
the 40 participating asset managers. There are 5 asset managers in the universe who remain unrated.

SECTION 1
Here’s a provocative starting point:you don’t do it by looking at manager performance!
Of course that comment might be a bit extreme, but it makes an important point. What we now understand about performance and skill suggests that returns data is so “noisy” – so contaminated by factors outside of a manager’s control – that attributing outcomes to skill can be a profoundly dangerous leap of faith.
This article attempts to help trustees, consultants and even asset managers themselves learn how to peel back just enough of the layers of performance obfuscation to get to the heart of what trustees should really care about most: what exactly is the value-add that this particular manager brings to my solution that will enhance my blend of manager selections?
Let’s start at the very beginning… a very good place to start.
Boards of trustees do not select active equity managers in isolation. Before managers can be selected, boards need to identify what outcome they want their total portfolios to achieve. From this desired outcome, the board will identify the asset allocation for their portfolios and the benchmarks for each of the asset classes in the asset allocation.
Once this is done, a strategy can be devised for each of the asset classes. In the case of equity, this strategy is of particular importance because equity is likely to the largest asset allocation in the portfolio. When the assignment to equity is made in the asset allocation, it is based on the characteristics of the equity market as a whole.
Peeling back the layers: There is more to equity managers than their performance!
Understanding that the asset allocation is based on the characteristics of equities as a whole is important. It means that the primary purpose of an equity strategy is to harvest a typical equity risk premium over the long term. One statistic that allows us to summarise risk structure of this equity exposure is BETA.
The benchmark of a portfolio is set as the most effective reference framework for an investor to access the equity risk premium. The simplest implementation to access this BETA is using a passive equity portfolio. However, a passive equity portfolio will only ever provide the benchmark’s return less the costs of investing in that benchmark. It cannot outperform the benchmark and it cannot cushion market falls by having the ability to reduce risk in the portfolio.
Using an active equity manager provides the possibility of either improving the returns of the portfolio or reducing its risk, preferably a combination of both. The value of an active equity manager lies in their ability to do harvest the equity risk premium on a better risk-return basis than the benchmark. One statistic that is used to summarise this value is known as alpha.
The important thing is that the quest for alpha cannot be allowed to over-shadow the portfolio’s need for beta. The reality is that the only way to gain alpha is to differ from the benchmark in some way, which means potentially compromising on the beta. Trustees need to be aware of this trade-off so that they can appropriately select and blend managers in their equity strategy.
Creating an effective blend of managers is not just about combining historical returns to deliver the best historical
How do we identify manager skill?
Or, if we want to make this question more “goals-based” friendly, perhaps we should ask, “how do we identify whether an investment manager is doing what we require them to do to meet our specified outcome?”
outcome. This approach is tantamount to data mining. Also, because it is not based on an analysis of how managers generate returns – and risk – it potentially opens the portfolio to a multitude of unforeseen risks.
It is also extremely dangerous to attempt to pick the best managers over the next period. Numerous studies have shown this verges on impossible. In addition, it raises the risk of being invested in very similar managers who are all likely to fail simultaneously.
By blending managers, we seek to reduce, not amplify, risk. The purpose of selecting multiple equity managers should be to diversify manager investment approaches to assume the right balance of risk in the fund that maximises the probability of getting a consistent positive alpha through different market cycles over the long term. The performance of the fund should be generated from risk that has been intentionally assumed.
Most pension fund assets are structured as long-term investments. The amount of risk that it chooses to take within the fund (risk tolerance) sets the guidelines that define how robust the solution needs to be to market events over shorter terms. This tolerance will also drive the underlying solutions and strategies used by the fund in achieving its objectives.
Different investment styles are rewarded across different horizons and different periods. This means that an individual manager is likely to have periods of out- and under-performance. Trying to predict which manager will outperform in which period is a fruitless exercise and simply shifts the arena of skill and luck to another layer of decision making.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
As is illustrated below, we expect different types of managers to generate alpha in waves of different lengths.
Fig 1: Describing the cyclicality and horizon of investment styles
Blending multiple managers with different types of consistent skill reduces the uncertainty. It should allow trustees to maximise the periods through which the total equity strategy generates outperformance. But doing this requires understanding each of those equity managers properly.
The last few years have seen the value style significantly underperform while earnings momentum has been rewarded much more than market indices. These are two of the styles prevalent in South Africa. Examples include:
■ Value (shares with low PE ratios/price to book ratios/high dividend yields)
■ Earnings Momentum (shares with positive earnings revisions over the recent past)
■ Price Momentum (shares with positive price movements over the recent past)
■ Growth (shares that are reinvesting retained earnings to grow the firm)
■ Size (biases based on the market capitalisation of the share, e.g. small cap)
■ Earnings Variability (shares with fluctuating earnings over different economic cycles)
Understanding a manager’s style and its consistency is critical as the style determines the typical types of risks in the portfolio. An equity manager cannot (and should not) integrate all styles as
this will compromise their investment philosophy. Therefore, a blended equity portfolio using different managers with different styles would seek to intentionally combine styles consistent with the pension fund philosophy as stated in the Investment Policy Statement.
Consistency of style will imply greater predictability of a manager’s behavior in a blended solution. This is called style diversification.
In order to understand alpha, simply comparing a manager’s return to the benchmark returns falls woefully short. Understanding the manager’s style is crucial to understanding their past and future performance. Numerous studies have shown that a manager’s return is influenced by both skill and luck and simply looking at returns is not going to disentangle these two.
Identifying the skill to generate alpha requires:1. Understanding how a manager’s
philosophy and process provide opportunities to identify and capture alpha;
2. Examining the portfolio to see whether this philosophy is reflected in the risks taken in their portfolios; and
3. Seeing whether the risks they take are appropriately rewarded by alpha.
Such a process must examine managers and their portfolios through time!
Understanding the active manager
Consider what an active manager does. They aim to add value above and beyond what an investor could obtain from a passive indexed solution by strategically differing from the benchmark. The investment philosophy and style of the manager is used to identify shares that are mispriced in the market.
This philosophy could manifest in a number of ways. A manager could believe that macro-thematic works allows them to identify how the economy is evolving and they then choose to differ from the benchmark on the basis of sectors. Or they could believe that certain shares are over- or under-valued by the market due, for instance to price to earnings ratios. Or maybe they think that less volatile shares or high dividend-yielding shares are best options over the longterm – or in a particular market cycle. These differences are captured in the portfolio construction process. Differences to the benchmark arise by tilting the portfolios towards or against certain groups of shares.
So, there are multiple approaches or philosophies that a manager could use. Their choice of their philosophy is not what is important. What is important is:
Deep value strategy may require 7 year performance period for review
Momentum/growth strategy might require three year time-frame for review
Multi-factor quant strategy may only require 1 year period for review
Allocate active risk to strategies and managers

SECTION 1
■ That an active manager has a consistent investment philosophy;
■ That this philosophy is theoretically supported and has a coherent basis;
■ That they understand how that philosophy translates into their portfolio construction, and from there, into their performance;
■ That an active manager is consistent in the application of their philosophy throughout the investment process.
From their philosophy, each phase of their process needs to flow. It is only through the overall consistency of the
philosophy and process that it will be possible to distinguish between skill and luck. Such a process does not guarantee good outcomes, but it does guarantee that we can identify where the outcomes come from.

Once the manager’s philosophy and process is understood, their portfolios need to be examined. The test of a good manager is that they can translate their philosophy into their portfolio construction and that they get their performance from those areas where they consciously chose to take on risk.
There are three broad categories that typify the aggressiveness of the portfolio construction of the active positions implemented:
■ Enhanced Index strategies: These funds typically attempt to outperform the index by incremental amounts (0.5%-1% per annum) while simultaneously taking only small amounts of additional (active) risk. The risk exposure of these funds would be quite close to the benchmark.
■ Non-Benchmark Cognisant (Unconstrained) strategies: In many cases, these portfolios should be constructed with little or no reference to share weightings in the benchmark. Alternately, they are constructed to take on high levels of relative risk against the benchmark. These portfolios will also invest in shares that are not in the benchmark. These strategies should either outperform or underperform the benchmark for protracted periods of time. These strategies would
require the fund to have a high tolerance for poor performance.
■ Benchmark Cognisant (Constrained) strategies: These are portfolios that would rely on similar investment philosophies to a Non-Benchmark cognisant or unconstrained strategies. However, they also recognise that these investment views need to be very carefully constructed around the benchmark. Portfolio construction is crucial to the success of this strategy. Managers would need to carefully balance the risks of the benchmark against the identified sources of return – in other words, they actively manage the alpha-beta trade-off. These portfolios should have characteristics that fall between enhanced indexed and unconstrained strategies.
In order to identify how a manager is translating their philosophy requires examining manager’s portfolios in terms of their holdings and their transactions through time. The reason why it is important to consider these issues through time is that we need to understand:1. if sources of risk have translated into
subsequent sources of return2. how consistent the investment
process is3. how to identify changes and uncover
the reasons for this
This allows us to look beyond historical returns to drive our decisions. We are
focusing on the interaction between philosophy, risk and return of the manager. There are three areas which we can consider when examining equity portfolios:
• Level of conviction;• Magnitude of risk;• Quality of Risk and Style
Each of these measures provides insight into the portfolio that complements our understanding of the equity portfolio and manager style.
Measures of conviction
Conviction is an expression to generally describe how the manager chooses to implement their views on stocks in their portfolio. We do not measure conviction to test for the skill of the manager but rather to test whether the portfolio is correctly positioned relative to its expected risk characteristics.
Managers that have high convictions (usually non-benchmark cognisant managers) would be more aggressive in implementing their view by holding less stocks and have more concentrated positions. Benchmark-cognisant managers would tend to hold more shares with smaller active positions. This is consistent with academic literature. 1
Quantitative ways to measure conviction include:1. Number of instruments;2. Concentration;3. Active share

Issues to consider when evaluating an equity manager’s philosophy:

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Number of instruments
As the name indicates, this is simply the number of instruments held in the portfolio. By comparing this number to the number of instruments in the benchmark, we get a high-level indication of the manager’s level of conviction.
For an enhanced indexer, we expect the number of instruments in the portfolio to be close to identical to the number of instruments in the portfolio. In contrast, for an unconstrained manager, we expect this number to be low relative to the benchmark.
As a comparison, a common benchmark used by South African retirement funds for equity portfolios is the FTSE / JSE Shareholder Weighted All Share Index, commonly known as the SWIX. Through time, the SWIX has been composed of 150-180 shares.
Given that a small number of instruments tend to dominate the South African equity market, one needs to interpret this number with caution. In evaluating SA equity portfolios, it is also important to consider the weights of shares. For instance, many shares may have an insignificant weight and make little difference to the overall performance of the portfolio.
Concentration
A common understanding of concentration in investment portfolios is that a concentrated portfolio is one where the bulk of the money in the fund is held in a small number of securities. For instance, unconstrained equity managers would express their strongest view by allocating the largest amount of their portfolio to that small set of securities. This has a material bearing on risk and subsequent return.
When measuring concentration, the objective is to understand whether the risk and return of a portfolio is being driven by a small or a large number of instruments. If it’s been driven by a small number of instruments, then we expect the concentration measure to be high and this would reflect a high level of conviction. In contrast, a portfolio being driven by a large number of instruments, then the concentration measure will be low.
There a many ways to quantitatively measure concentration. One framework is to measure the relative distribution of share weights against an equally weighted portfolio. A concentration index is one method which allows us to examine this. In the graph below, we show straight lines that would indicate the concentration of equally-weighted portfolios of various sizes.
We also show two commonly used equity portfolio benchmarks, the All Share Index (ALSI) and the
Shareholder Weighted Index (SWIX). This shows us that the concentration of the ALSI is higher than that of the SWIX. The ALSI tends to have similar concentration to that of a portfolio with 40 equally weighted securities, whereas the SWIX is closer to a portfolio with 60 equally-weighted securities. Given that both benchmarks have around 165 instruments, this corroborates the market intuition that these benchmarks are highly concentrated given the number of instruments held.

Active share
Active share measures how much an equity portfolio’s holdings differ from the constituents of its benchmark index. It is a gauge of how different the active manager’s positions are relative to the benchmark and is used as an indicator of potential future variation in return.
15
SECTION 1
The previous measures of conviction overlook the effect of how the manager constructs their portfolio relative to a benchmark. They focus on absolute levels of conviction, rather than relative levels versus the benchmark. Active share aims to measure how different a portfolio is to the benchmark.
Active share picks up two types of deviation between the portfolio and its benchmark:1. Shares that are in the portfolio, but
not the benchmark.2. Shares that are held in a different
weighting in the portfolio versus the benchmark.
To aggregate this, active share captures what percentage of the portfolio does not reflect the benchmark. Mathematically, this is the percentage not held in the benchmark but held in the portfolio, and is illustrated in figure 3.
We would expect unconstrained equity managers to have high active share and enhanced indexers to have low active share. This is a particularly important measure for understanding whether the classification of a manager is correct.
Active share helps investors compare managers that have similar share universes and benchmarks to measure their relative conviction of their portfolios to their benchmarks.
Magnitude of risk
It is widely understood that to generate additional return one needs to assume risk. In this section we define risk more explicitly in order to measure how a manager is different from a benchmark. The two relevant concepts are:1. risk of variation – this measures how
different the expected outcomes can be from the benchmark
2. risk of loss – this measures the expected losses that can be incurred by the portfolio
The second important distinction is that risk can be measured on a historical or a prospective basis. Historical risk is a translation of what actually happened in the market and the effect does not necessarily reflect the amount of risk that prevailed when the investment was made. Prospective risk takes into consideration that markets can experience different future outcomes.
Figure 3: Active Share

Active Share
Let’s look at this using a statistical example: Assume that we have a fair coin; what is the probability of tossing 5 heads in row? If we measure this after 5 heads in a row were tossed, we would say that empirically it is 100%. However, if we measured this before we started tossing the coins it would be 3%.
This is the difference between historical (empirical) measures of risk and prospective (probabilistic) measures of risk. From the example above, it is clear that a manager could take on extremely high levels of risk, which if it worked out would look like low risk. It is important to evaluate risk at the outset – is your manager betting on tossing 5 heads in a row?
There are numerous metrics that can be used to measure these risks. For purposes of simplicity, we restrict it to:1. Beta – a sensitivity measure2. Tracking Error – a magnitude
measure3. Value at Risk – a loss measure
South African predictive equity risk models have been available for almost two decades, with significant strides being made in its predictive quality. Systems such as MSCI Barra, Sungard APT, EM Applications and others have specific South African equity models for this purpose.
Beta
Earlier in the article, we described the benchmark as a mechanism to access the equity risk premium. The benchmark therefore embodies the market risk structure that the pension fund has considered acceptable and
its neutral position for equity as an asset class. We will continue with this definition but will now describe beta as the forecasted statistical sensitivity of the equity portfolio to the benchmark.
The relationship between the future return of the portfolio to the future benchmark return can be simplistically described as:E(Rp) = α + β. E(Rb) whereE(Rp): Expected return of the
portfolioα: Alpha of the portfolio E(Rb): Expected return of the
benchmarkβ: Beta of the portfolio to
the benchmark
Beta measures the sensitivity of changes in the portfolio return to changes in the benchmark return. A Beta of 1 means that we expect a 10% increase in the benchmark to result in a 10% increase in the portfolio. A Beta of 0.5 means that we expect a 10% increase in the benchmark to result in a 5% increase in the portfolio.
We expect enhanced index portfolios to have betas close to 1, while unconstrained managers could have betas much higher or much lower than 1. These variations reflect the different drivers of risk between the portfolio and the benchmark. This can be share-specific, sector, style or another significant market factor. Risk decomposition is a critical element of fund analysis to understand the quality of risk taken.
16
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
The beta framework is very insightful but is limited by its inability to describe the variation due to factors other than the benchmark. Decomposing this further is not a simple exercise and requires the use of equity risk models.
Tracking error
This is one of the most popular measures used to describe the active (relative) risk taken by the equity portfolio against the benchmark. Tracking error predicts the potential return variation between the portfolio and the benchmark and can viewed as an expected range of outcomes.
When we see a tracking error figure – say of 1% – this means that we expect that when the portfolio’s returns deviate from the benchmarks, in two of our every three times, it will lie within the tracking error. Conversely, this means that in one out of every three instances when the portfolio differs from the benchmark returns, it will do so by more than the tracking error.
What is useful about the tracking error is that it gives a sense not only of the risk of the portfolio, but also of its expected return relative to benchmark!
Therefore, funds with low tracking errors are expected to have returns with little expected variation to their benchmark. Enhanced index equity funds usually have tracking errors from 0.5% to 2%. The probability of these funds producing returns exceeding the benchmark by 5% is extremely unlikely.
Benchmark cognisant funds understand the need to take on risk in order to deliver greater returns different from the benchmark. The amount of active risk taken is a function of the trustees’ tolerance for variation. It is generally accepted that 3-5% tracking error limits describe benchmark cognisant funds. This relates to the expected target returns of these funds which are usually 1-2% more than the benchmark.
Enhanced index funds and benchmark cognisant funds would tend to construct their portfolios with a consistent tracking error in order to capture opportunities that generate differences in returns. This is not a requirement for unconstrained strategies.
Tracking error may vary significantly for an unconstrained portfolio based on the manager’s prevailing view of the market. In fact, in the absence of opportunities, the manager should revert to his risk-neutral state which is the benchmark. At these points in time the fund will generate returns no different from the benchmark. The concern with this is that you would now have a very expensive way of accessing a passive strategy.
Therefore, the analysis of tracking error for these funds is to determine through time both the level of risk and the changes to risk taken by a manager.
Value at Risk (VaR)
Value at risk is a loss concept that usually measures the minimum loss that the portfolio is expected to experience in extreme market conditions (e.g. 95% level of confidence). For purposes of differentiating equity strategies we analyse whether the portfolio has greater or less risk than the benchmark and seek to understand the reasons for this.
Enhanced index strategies and benchmark-cognisant strategies with low tracking errors and low active share would tend to have a VaR not dissimilar from the benchmark. However, portfolios with high tracking errors and high active share can result in the underlying risk structure to move significantly away from the benchmark. This would imply that downside risk exposure of the fund would also become different.
Unconstrained portfolios are expected to be built from first principles and would seek to optimise diversification. In most instances, it would be expected to reduce risk relative to market cap indices and benchmarks. Additional downside risk also implies that the overall investment strategy may be impacted by the equity allocation unless it is diversified by other asset classes or explicitly hedged.
Consider a portfolio that has a forecasted beta of 0.8 to the benchmark. This implies that the portfolio, without any alpha is expected to underperform the benchmark in a positive market and outperform the benchmark in a negative market.
Remember: E(Rp) = α + β. E(Rb)
If the expected return of benchmark is +10%, then the expected portfolio return would be 8% + alpha generated. In this case the alpha needs to be at least 2% to compensate for the change in the risk structure.
If the expected return of benchmark is -10%, then the expected portfolio return would be -8% + alpha generated. In this case the lower beta allows the fund to beat the benchmark.
The opposite holds true if beta was greater than 1.
17
SECTION 1
Quality of Risk and Style
The final layer that needs to be understood is decomposing the quality of the risk taken by the manager and relating the managers investment philosophy to quantitatively defined styles. From a pragmatic perspective, this allows one to understand whether the stated investment thesis is proven to be consistent.
This requires a detailed through-time analysis of the fund, relating some of the metrics described above to understand the portfolio strategy. We work from the premise that the manager’s philosophy should be expressed though portfolio construction.
The analysis looks for persistence in behaviour across known risk and fundamental characteristics, and an interrogation of events where the risk structure has fundamentally changed. This process of individually analyzing
the fund will complete the process of differentiating and profiling the portfolio strategy.
Understanding Quality of Risk
One of the expectations of an active manager is the ability to diversify market risk in the portfolio (known as systematic risk), and isolate specific risks (risk that is unique to a share and cannot be diversified). Most risk models would provide algorithms to decompose the diversifiable elements of a risk measure from the share specific components.
This describes the quality of the risk. Good portfolios are constructed with high exposure to specific risks, specifically tracking error, implying that the expected differences in performance to the benchmark are a function of share specific outcomes and not market factors.
Market tails may be “fatter than normalTail events are very rare in a normal curve, but market tails are in fact “fatter” or more frequent , than many people realize.

Value at Risk were originally calculated using statistical distributions, specifically the normal curve. This came under significant scrutiny in the 1998 crash, due to underestimating risk. The concept of a fat tail which represents the increased likelihood of extreme events was introduced. Additional measures such as Conditional Value at Risk are now very popular.
Another element of good quality of risk is that the sources of risk are intended and are usually well balanced (no single source of risk).
Decomposing tracking error
One of the methods of analysing quality is decomposing tracking error into the specific risk component and the diversifiable risk component. For example, if the total risk is 45% systematic and 55% specific, then this implies that a larger part of the potential performance differences to the benchmark is due to the share selection of the manager and not market attributes. Internationally, there are some funds that have their fee structures tied to the amount of specific risk taken.
Tracking error (and other risk measures) can be decomposed to a share (sector or factor) level where the contribution of each share in the portfolio to the risk can be analysed. This is best illustrated graphically.
18
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Figure 4.1: Diversifiable contribution to risk
The contribution to diversifiable risk of each share as measured on the vertical access is well balanced with no share contributing more than 6%. Negative contributions reflect diversification. This implies that the risk is well structured to market factors.
The specific risk decomposition indicates a slightly different outcome. In this example, the specific risk contribution of Naspers represents almost 18% of the portfolio. This implies that the behaviour of Naspers will be the largest driver of performance variation in the portfolio. If this position was not deliberate then the portfolio is poorly structured, as the variation of expected return comes from an unintended source of risk.
Figure 4.2: Specific contribution to risk
Transactional Behaviour
A large focus of attention on managers is what shares are in their portfolio. What they are buying, when are they buying and why are they buying it? But there is a lot less attention paid to how these managers execute the decisions and when do they do so.
Transactions-based analytics helps interrogate the timing of manager’s decisions and this can shed light
on their style. For instance, a value manager may claim to buy stocks based on their price-to-earnings ratio, and their portfolio may reflect this. However, a transaction analysis may show that they are not buying and selling when we would expect based on their style.
For instance, a manager may fall into the trap of selling winners and buying losers. The composition of their portfolio appears fine, but their timing is always off.
These questions lead us into transactional based analytics which provides you with a framework to evaluate the consistency and persistence of a manager’s investment process and to determine how they add value through their decision making and implementation. Timing is critical in managing equities and transactional analysis is one of the few methods to really understand its role.
This allows us to establish the link between a manager’s investment
In this example the manager has taken a few aggressive positions, e.g. zero holdings in Naspers (NPN), with overweight positions in Billiton (BIL), Investec (INL), Anglo American (AGL) and Impala Platinum (IPL).
Figures 4.1 and 4.2 show the share level contribution to tracking error split into diversifiable and specific components.

process and their resultant performance by identifying how effective their investment decision making has been in adding value (as described by alpha). It sheds light on:1. The characteristics of the shares
being bought and sold;2. The horizon over which managers
make decisions;3. The frequency of trading where no
cash has flowed into or out of the portfolio.
This tells us whether managers are sticking to their investment philosophy, or whether the way they are buying and selling shares indicate a capitulation of sorts. For instance, in a period of underperformance does the manager deviate from their style by selling out the shares that they would be expected to hold?
Understanding style
For the purposes of this article, this is the last layer that needs to be understood. The purpose of selecting multiple equity managers should be to diversify manager investment approaches to assume the right balance of risk in the fund that maximises the probability of getting a consistent positive alpha through different market cycles over the long term. The performance of the fund should be generated from risk that has been intentionally assumed. Therefore the purpose of analysing an equity portfolio in this detail is also to understand how it fits into a blend of equity strategies.
One aspect of this analysis is a robust qualitative review of the investment style. This is not sufficient to incorporate into a technical framework. A quantitative technique to understand the manager style is called style a decomposition and attribution. These types of analysis would require an equity risk model. Style factors are defined (system specific definitions) and the portfolios are analysed to these factors. E.g. Sungard APT defines its Value factor as based on the Price to Book Ratio.
In conclusion, what this article serves to demonstrate is that identifying manager skill goes far beyond looking at their performance.
Performance is so inextricably bound with both luck and skill that it takes a multi-layered analysis to distinguish between the two.
To understand whether a manager is skillful, we have to consciously peel back the layers of their portfolio, using
In figure 5, we have three portfolios that have a consistent positive bias to the Sungard Value factor through time. This would provide supportive evidence for the manager if the investment philosophy is based on Price to Book analysis, even if the manager does not explicitly term their process as value.
The persistence of style biases through time or market cycles would provide an easier basis to include a manager in a blended solution.
Concluding Thoughts
various analysis techniques. This also involves understanding how their philosophy translates into their portfolio construction and from there into the risk and return characteristics. Historical performance is only a measure of how successful a strategy was but does not adequately describe the nature of the strategy. When building a blended equity solution, we need to:
■ take risks that are intended and which we have a basis to expect will generate higher returns or reduce risk;
■ evaluate risk characteristics on a prospective, rather than a retrospective, basis.
By doing this, we can blend managers sensibly with a relatively high degree of confidence that they will perform in expected ways under differing market conditions and that the blend will produce expected outcomes.

It should be noted that historical performance is not an indication of future performance, nor is it a direct indicator of skill. Many of these composites use peer relative performance benchmarks and not investable benchmarks. The current positioning and exposure of composites are more relevant to an investment strategy. Please use all information within this survey and interpretations therefrom cautiously and consult an asset consultant when matching your liabilities to appropriate assets and manager strategies.
Sources of performance
In multi-asset class composites, the primary drivers of long-term returns are their asset allocation strategies as they will seek to take advantage of the different expected returns between assets, while sector and/or security selection within an asset class seeks to provide additional sources of performance. Multi-asset class portfolios build and implement their investment strategies based on a multitude of methods with the most popular being: macroeconomic research; asset allocation modelling (strategic and tactical); relative asset class valuation; assessment of market risks; security valuation; portfolio construction and market hedging strategies. The portfolio manager will also use the asset class exposures to manage an overall risk strategy.
Survey Notes
Market dynamics that influenced performance and strategy over 2014
Since the 2008 global financial crisis, investors globally have operated in a risk-on/risk-off framework. Six years on, the intervention policies and strategies applied to stabilise global capital markets and restore confidence remain significant drivers of investment decision making and valuation. This juxtaposition of weak economies and high levels of artificial liquidity has led to significant rotation between asset classes as managers seek to balance safety with the quest for yield.
The role of primary providers of stimulus shifted in 2014 in response to changes in underlying economies. After a difficult 2013, the US economy is showing strong signs of recovery
allowing it to close its QE programme. As a result, US equities and bonds performed very well and the dollar strengthened substantially against other developed currencies.
In contrast, concerns about lacklustre growth and stagflation have brought Japan and the EU to the fore in stimulus programmes. Consequently, earnings have been low in these markets and interest rates have at times even been negative.
In addition to these evolutions in the ongoing and persistent theme of global stimulus, 2014 also saw a number of its own particular quirks. Concerns around the Chinese economy have been present for a while, but in 2014, the Chinese statistics department confirmed that the economy is slowing. This is primarily due to efforts to shift

the economy from an export-driven structure to a consumption-driven one. As such, a resumption in its demand for commodities is not anticipated.
On the commodities front, oil had a dramatic collapse in the second half of the year (down -48.3% for the year), providing welcome relief to emerging markets but jitters to oil producing nations.
Oils woes only exacerbated Russia’s woes after geopolitical tensions within Ukraine have tarnished its global image. In the wake of this, the rouble collapsed and Russian bonds flounder at junk status.
On the local front, commodity woes in the last part of the year came on top of a mining strike in the first part. Together with a myriad of other economic challenges, the SA outlook weakened in the latter half of the year.
Global market performance echoed the economic trends in many ways. Buoyed by a strong performance by US equity markets (+13.7%), developed equity markets finished off 2014 on a positive note in US dollar terms (MSCI World +5.5%). The US’s strong performance masked a negative year for other major developed markets with Europe down 5.7% and Japan down 3.7%. Emerging markets were little better at -1.8%, while frontier markets were 9.0% down. Many frontier markets are reliant on trade with Japan and Europe, which led to their dismal performance.
Overall, the MSCI All Countries Index – which combines both developed and emerging equity markets – returned +4.7% in dollar terms. Global government bonds were relatively flat; the Citibank WGB Index being down -0.5% in dollar terms. The depreciation of the rand to the dollar meant that the rand returns of these indices were significantly higher – with the MSCI All Countries returning +15.7% and the WGB Index up +9.9%.
Despite deteriorating local economic conditions, the South African equity market finished the year in positive territory, though slightly down from its peak in July. Domestic consensus is that the local equity market is overpriced and may be heading into an asset price bubble. Another surprise for the year was the divergence in performance between the two major equity benchmarks. The FTSE JSE All Share Index (ALSI) returned +10.9%
over the year, while the FTSE JSE Shareholder Weighted All Share Index (SWIX) returned +15.4% over the year. At 4.5%, this divergence is at the highest in its history.
The major difference between the two indices is that the ALSI holds 6% more in Resources than the SWIX, 5% less in Financials and 11% less in Industrials. This super-sector difference contributed to 2.5% of the performance differential as Financial shares outperformed Resources by 42%. The early part of the year saw Resources shares gain ground on the other two sectors, but this trend fell apart in the latter half, with Resources ending the year down 14.7%.
The best performing sub-sector within Financials was Banking (+32.1%) despite the collapse of African Bank and rising interest rates. Other sub-sectors also contributing to performance were Real Estate (+26.5%) and Life Insurance (+21.5%). Industrials were bolstered by Health Care (+35.9%), Consumer Services (+29.7%), and Consumer Goods (+14.1%) with muted returns from Technology (+12.7%), Telecomms (+9.7%) and Industrials (+7.0%). Aside from Forestry and Paper (+11.7%), it was red across all the Resources sub-sectors.
An analysis of equity investment styles proved that Momentum, Minimum Volatility and Quality were rewarded in 2014. What is also very clear is that Value, and Deep Value in particular, has continued to struggle. For instance, the FTSE JSE Value Index returned 4.59% for the year, trailing the major indices by a considerable margin. Earnings and Price Momentum continues to dominate market returns to the detriment of the many South African managers who favour Deep Value and Contrarian styles.
South Africa’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) hiked the repo rate twice over the course of 2014. The 50 basis point (bp) hike in January of 2014 caught the market unawares, introducing significant volatility to both interest rate and currency markets. The 25bp hike in July met a more muted response, but it did accelerate net foreign bond outflows. For the year, net foreign bond outflows totalled R58 billion as sovereign credit expectations deteriorated.
The drivers behind these hikes remained consistent through the year, including: concerns about the weak rand; rising inflation; labour conflicts
and high wage increases; moderate to weak economic growth; a wider current account deficit; and stubborn unemployment. These drivers also led to credit agencies downgrading SA multiple times over the course of the year.
Despite these myriad concerns, bond markets delivered strong returns in line with equity markets. Inflation-linked bonds beat the ALSI with a +11.1% return as real rates continued to remain low. Nominal bonds were not far behind at +10.1%. Factors that significantly drove bond market performance were instrument term (duration) and credit pick-up. The long end of the SA 10-year government bond curve (bonds maturing >12 years) flattened during 2014, most noticeably in Q4 as inflation expectations diminished with falling commodity prices. The short end of the curve (bonds maturing within 3 years) displayed the opposite effect by rising during the quarter and year due to the interest rate hikes. Fixed rate bonds remain unattractive compared to floating rate notes in the short end. Cash returns were the weakest asset class with the STeFI returning +5.3%.
The local property market shrugged off a poor 2013, and returned to its status as the best performing asset class (+26.6%). It gave a strong performance over the second half of the year due to lower longer term bond yields and high income yields relative to prevailing rates.
All in all, market direction proved difficult to call both globally and locally.
How the managers performed over 2014
Managers expected a volatile 2014 and most structured their portfolios defensively at the outset, lowering equity exposure and raising cash exposure. Despite the volatility materialising, markets posted good returns and this defensive posture weighed against managers. As a result, 2014 was a tough market to out-perform in, while maintaining adequate risk control.
Across the asset classes that SA BIV managers and Global BIV managers utilise, returns were very similar. This meant asset class decisions played

a more muted role in explaining outperformance than it normally does for these categories. Instead, managers needed to take advantage of opportunities to add value through tactical asset allocation, sector rotation, security selection and trading.
In 2013, the most important call for Global BIV was their allocation to global assets. In 2014, the only asset allocation call that made a significant difference was a manager’s cash allocation – which affected both SA and Global BIV managers.
Within asset classes, the two most significant building blocks to get correct were SA equity and global equity. To harvest alpha in SA equity, it made a significant difference how managers structured their portfolios and what their exposure to resources was, given resources’ dismal performance. For Global BIV managers to do well in their global equity building block, they needed to have been overweight in US markets.
In both cases, the role of benchmarks is significant. As mentioned earlier, higher resources exposure in ALSI weighs against managers who use this as a reference to construct portfolios. For managers benchmarked to SWIX, Naspers is almost impossible to overweight and as it had an excellent 2014, this created problems for managers. Similarly, the US has a high weighting in global indices and is almost impossible to overweight in global portfolios.
The majority of the SA BIV managers left their asset allocation largely unchanged through 2014, with the trend being to reduce equity exposure. Prescient and ABSA reduced their equity exposure early, switching into cash and ending the year with the lowest equity exposures. As such, this asset allocation decision by these two managers was a primary factor for their relative underperformance over one year.
RECM was another manager with approximately 40% held in cash positions. They were the only manager to deliver a negative return over 2014. However, the major contributor to their poor performance was their overweight exposure to resources, particularly platinum stocks.
The top two SA BIV managers (Investec, Foord) held the highest average exposure (>72%) to equities and property over
the year, and these houses were also top quartile performers in the equity surveys. Allan Gray, also a top performer in local equity, was the third best SA BIV manager, compensating for its lower equity exposure by investing in bonds, rather than cash.
While SA BIV managers only have access to local asset classes, Global BIV managers have access to all global asset classes. Their composites are managed in line with Regulation 28.
Despite this access to additional building blocks, Global BIV composites did not significantly outperform domestic mandates. The gap between the medians of the two categories was only 0.60% versus almost 7% in 2013. As discussed above, the rand returns of global asset classes were very similar to local asset classes.
Most global BIV managers continue to remain at the limits of their global allocations as allowed by Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act. Within their global allocations, most managers retain upwards of 90% in equities. ABSA was the only one to buck this trend. It has had a relatively low global exposure for the past two years and has preferred currency-driven positions to equities. This has worked well and tactically added value.
As in SA BIV, RECM’s Global BIV composite disappointed, again the only composite to lose value over the year. Key factors were its exposure to the global oil and gas sector, UK food retailers and Russian stocks. The composite also held over 75% in growth assets, the third highest exposure.
The best performing composite was an aggressive growth specialist multi-asset class composure. As a specialist composite, Momentum Enhanced Factor 7 composite uses a largely static asset allocation to take advantage of
the long-term equity risk premium. As a result, the portfolio held over 80% in growth assets, including a 9.6% exposure to property.
Allan Gray’s global in-house partner Orbis – one of the top equity funds globally in 2013 – had a poor 2014. The portfolio is defensively positioned with almost 20% of the equity exposure hedged. Exposure to energy stocks and underweight exposure to the US detracted from performance in their global portfolio with the global composite underperforming the local composite by over 3%.
Even though Investec was the third best performing composite, it underperformed its local composite by more than 1%, due to an unimpressive global performance. Oasis did the opposite with its Global BIV composite outperforming its SA BIV composite by over 3.5%. This was due to their having the highest exposure to growth assets (82%) of the Global BIV composites, and achieving strong returns from its global investments which were only invested in equity.
The performance differentials (best composite to worst composite) over one year on the Global BIV has decreased to 15.92% from 16.24% in 2013. Removing the bottom three composites, the remaining 19 composites performed within 3.9% of each other over 2014. This convergence of performance was also seen in the SA BIV although the differential increased to 15.3% from 13.8%, due to RECM’s outlying performance. Removing the bottom two composites, the remaining 12 composites have performed within 5.8% of each other. This was in part due to many managers having similar asset allocations (close to average) through the year.
What stands out for 2014 across SA BIV, and especially Global BIV, is how it reversed many of the trends from 2013. Trends which worked for managers in 2013 worked against them in 2014, and vice versa. This illustrates how chopping and changing managers in the multi-asset class categories can be perilous for investors.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Objective: The portfolios are balanced (i.e. multiple asset class) portfolios with exposure to both global and local assets, subject to the restrictions imposed by Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act and aim to minimise the probability of short-term (i.e. less than one year) capital loss while targeting long-term (i.e. more than five years) capital return. The statistics represent the various categories that portfolios are represented in but only for those managers that are open to new investments.

SECTION 2
Global Balanced Manager Watch™ Survey – Dynamic
Objective: The portfolios are balanced (i.e. multiple asset class) portfolios with exposure to both global and local assets, subject to the restrictions imposed by Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act and aim to maximise long-term (i.e. more than 5 years) capital returns. This may lead to volatility of returns in the short term (i.e. less than one year).

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Multi-Manager Watch™ Investment Performance (Balanced Mandates)
Fixed Asset Allocation: Managers included in the below survey typically make use of fixed asset allocations, which means that they balance the asset allocation back to the strategic long-term asset allocation target (from time to time, according to predefined strategies) with no intention to enhance returns from an asset allocation point of view. However, while some of these managers adhere rigidly to these fixed asset allocations others may allow these allocations to drift slightly within certain margins.
Strategic Asset Allocation: Although managers included in the above survey may have long-term strategic asset allocation targets, they actively manage the asset allocation in an attempt to enhance returns. The different categories above (Low Volatility, Best Investment View and Dynamic) represent the different risk profiles of the funds. The Low Volatility category represents the manager’s most conservatively managed portfolio while the Dynamic category represents the manager’s most aggressively managed portfolio, according to the manager’s discretion.

SECTION 3
Multi-Manager Watch™ Investment Performance (Balanced Mandates) (continued)
Fixed Asset Allocation: Managers included in the below survey typically make use of fixed asset allocations, which means that they balance the asset allocation back to the strategic long-term asset allocation target (from time to time, according to predefined strategies) with no intention to enhance returns from an asset allocation point of view. However, while some of these managers adhere rigidly to these fixed asset allocations others may allow these allocations to drift slightly within certain margins.
Strategic Asset Allocation: Although managers included in the above survey may have long-term strategic asset allocation targets, they actively manage the asset allocation in an attempt to enhance returns. The different categories above (Low Volatility, Best Investment View and Dynamic) represent the different risk profiles of the funds. The Low Volatility category represents the manager’s most conservatively managed portfolio while the Dynamic category represents the manager’s most aggressively managed portfolio, according to the manager’s discretion.

Multi-Manager Watch™ Investment Performance (Balanced Mandates)
Fixed Asset Allocation: Managers included in the below survey typically make use of fixed asset allocations, which mean that they balance the asset allocation back to the strategic long-term asset allocation target (from time to time, according to predefined strategies) with no intention to enhance returns from an asset allocation point of view. However, while some of these managers adhere rigidly to these fixed asset allocations others may allow these allocations to drift slightly within certain margins.
Strategic Asset Allocation: Although managers included in the above survey may have long-term strategic asset allocation targets, they actively manage the asset allocation in an attempt to enhance returns. The different categories above (Low Volatility, Best Investment View and Dynamic) represent the different risk profiles of the funds. The Low Volatility category represents the manager’s most conservatively managed portfolio while the Dynamic category represents the manager’s most aggressively managed portfolio, according to the manager’s discretion.

SECTION 3
LDI Manager Watch™ Survey
General
The LDI survey reports on the outperformance LDI asset managers deliver relative to a liability based benchmarks. The survey provides simple numerical measures that encapsulate the risk these managers have exposed clients to as well as the outperformance they have achieved. The survey reports on the performance of ‘composites’, or groups of portfolios with similar characteristics.
Most LDI hedging techniques are based on algorithmic solutions (or rules based mathematical techniques), suggesting that ineffective hedging techniques will very rapidly show up in this survey. The skill set of managers offering low risk solutions, tracking liabilities closely with tight mandate restrictions will generally show up over even short periods such as one year. It is, however, always preferable to evaluate these managers over a longer period if this is available. The period used for analysis should include at least one large shift in yield curves. More than one large shift in yields has occurred during the last twelve months; the short history available in this survey is hence adequate for judging manager’s ability to create effective hedges.
In addition to focusing on tracking liabilities, some managers target outperformance of liabilities by investing in riskier asset classes such as credit (and potentially view taking on the markets). An evaluation of the approach used and the skills of each manager is required to access how likely these managers are to
deliver alpha in the future. The past performance of these managers can be used as part of this evaluation. Longer periods will be required to accurately form a view of how good the manager is at choosing and managing credit. The exact length will depend on the strategy used, but may require five years or longer. Many LDI managers do not have a track record this long. It is useful in such cases to look at the manager’s performance in ordinary credit portfolios.
Investors also need to consider the time frame over which they measure risk when choosing a manager and more importantly, in setting their mandates, mandate restrictions and portfolio targets. For example, listed companies may need to manage pension fund or other sinking fund risks over a very short period to match their reporting requirements. Pension funds that are valued once every three years, with a larger risk appetite and a desire to target growth could use a longer evaluation period such as three years.
Specific measures
Liability outperformance shows how much value, in excess of the growth in liabilities, the manager was able to add for their client. All else being equal, a larger outperformance is preferable. Investors should consider a sufficiently long performance period to smooth over interest, credit and inflation cycles if they are primarily concerned with the longer term performance of their liability hedging activities. For example, certain investors may require close tracking
on a monthly basis, whilst others may be more concerned with longer term value-add. Investors should therefore give adequate attention to manager performance over periods that match their own reporting, risk evaluation and risk tolerance frequency. Consideration should be given to all the stakeholders associated with the liability in reaching this decision.
Liability convexity and duration are technical measures of certain liability characteristics. In general, the larger these quantities are, the more difficult it is to create an effective hedge. These measures can hence be seen as one of the constraining factors governing managers’ efficacy in hedging and adding outperformance. Performance is therefore not necessarily comparable between managers with vastly different liability durations and convexities. A typical defined benefit pensioner liability increasing with full inflation annually has a duration between nine and twelve years at current yields.
The percentage of government bonds shows the portion of the manager’s portfolios invested in government issued bonds. All else equal, the lower this percentage is, the greater one would expect the long-term outperformance of liabilities to be. This figure may also reflect mandate constraints regarding the inclusion of credit.
The percentage of unlisted exposure shows the proportion of the portfolio which is invested in unlisted instruments. Unlisted instruments may (but are not necessarily) subject to
How to interpret and use this survey
LDI is a complex area of investment. Alexander Forbes strongly recommends that investors obtain professional assistance in determining whether a specific LDI strategy or LDI manager is appropriate for them. The guide below is not sufficiently comprehensive to enable most investors to reliably choose an LDI manager without further assistance. The guide will help investors appreciate the drivers of differential performance between managers and strategies at specific times in the market.

poor valuations or infrequent valuations by the manager. Many unlisted instruments such as swaps may be valued independently by a counterparty bank, partially mitigating this risk.
A brief description of the benchmark used is given for each composite. Only similar composites should be compared directly. For example, swap-based and bond-based benchmarks are not directly comparable.
Portfolio as a percentage of liability shows the size of the assets managed by the manager relative to the size of the liability the manager is mandated to hedge. For example, a pension fund with a R100 liability that gives their LDI manager R50 and invests R50 into the equity market would have a proportion of 50%. All else being equal, the larger this portion is, the easier it is to hedge a liability. This is hence an additional constraining factor on managers. Portfolios in the survey have been grouped into bands expected to offer similar hedging efficacy.
The minimum funding level shows the lowest funding level that would have applied over various time periods, assuming the investor’s liabilities and assets were equal at the start of the period. Assuming all else is equal, larger minimum funding levels are preferable. A minimum funding level is an important risk measure in evaluating how well a manager can manage downside risk relative to the investor’s liability.
Tracking error shows the dispersion of portfolio returns relative to the investor’s liability. All else being equal, a lower tracking error is preferable. Unfortunately tracking error captures outperformance (desirable) as well as underperformance (undesirable). Where close liability tracking is not essential, the minimum funding level is a
superior measure of risk. For example, a manager providing a high degree of outperformance and high minimum funding levels may be a suitable choice even if this manager has a high tracking error.
The risk adjusted outperformance shows the extent to which managers outperform liabilities, adjusted for the tracking error or risk they have introduced. All else equal, a larger risk adjusted return is preferable. The risk adjusted return may, however, be an inappropriate measure for certain investors with specific liability objectives. For example, some risk-tolerant investors wish to maximise long-term outperformance of liabilities. Such investors should focus on outperformance of liabilities in choosing a manager. Other risk-averse investors may wish to track their liabilities as closely as possible. Such investors should focus on choosing a manager based on tracking error.
LDI Manager Watch™ Survey Commentary
Overall market commentary
Each week National Treasury issues new bonds on behalf of the South African government. This is used to gradually raise money across the year to meet the spending needs of the state. These auctions play a very important role in price discovery for these bonds. These auctions are not conducted through most of December and early January. Trading volumes in the secondary market for these and other bonds also decrease during December as many market participants take time off during the festive season. The price levels observed during December are hence not always reliable indications of where the market will settle during the new year. We caution against reading too much into the volatility observed during December.
During December nominal bond yields increased drastically. Mid-duration yields increased by as much as 54 basis points (+0.54%) with the longest nominal rates remaining reasonably stable across December. The increase in yields occurred relatively linearly
across December and then reversed (again relatively linearly) across the first half of January. A contributing factor to these losses may have been foreigners selling holdings of local bonds due to currency volatility early on in December. The currency lost 75 cents a dollar during a two-week period.
It is not uncommon to see portfolios (including non-LDI) positioned neutrally during December. This is sometimes done to minimise risk while part or all of the portfolio management staff are away. It is also sometimes done to avoid impacting on quarter-end results in December with large swings in value resulting from (spurious, low-trade volume) volatility. As such, it is unsurprising to see that both the inflation-linked bond and nominal bond sections of the survey showed a narrow band of results around 0% outperformance of benchmark liabilities.
Inflation-linked section
At all durations longer than seven years, the inflation-linked bond curve fluctuated within a range of 10 basis points (0.10%), not following the much larger shift seen in the nominal curve. Again, we caution against reading much into the December numbers. Composite performance ranged from -0.05% to +0.15% for the month.
For the calendar year of 2014 Sanlam Structured Solutions was again the top performing composite in absolute terms (1.09%) and on a risk adjusted basis (1.6) for conventional composites with more than 50% of benchmark liabilities invested as assets. The composite holds the same accolade for three-year performance. The composite has an exposure to credit risk of around 60% of the portfolio value.
111
SECTION 3
One can therefore (very roughly) approximate the total return on the inflation-linked composite benchmarks with the 11% return of the BSAGI. Across the year, the FTSE/JSE All Share Total Return Index also returned around 11%. This shows the importance of monitoring performance relative to your liabilities. An investor looking at the 11% return for equities in isolation might think he or she has done well across the year; they earned a positive return and outperformed inflation by a little over 5.5% for the year. In reality the equities are likely to only just have kept pace with the rate of growth in a typical defined benefit pension fund’s liabilities. To the extent that the investor was diversified across equity, cash and shorter duration nominal bonds, they would have likely underperformed their liability benchmark.
Across 2014, the Barclays South Africa Government Inflation-linked Index (BSAGI) returned 11%. The duration of the BSAGI is around 12 years, marginally longer than most of the inflation-linked bond section composites in the survey.
LDI Manager Watch™ Survey Commentary continued
Nominal bond section
A similarly narrow dispersion (0.00%-0.20%) of results was seen in the nominal bond survey. This dispersion is particularly small in the context of the changes in the yield curve across the month. The nominal curve rose dramatically (by up to 54 basis points or +0.54%) at medium-term durations during December. The long end of the curve dropped by around 5 basis points (-0.05%).
Across the year Stanlib’s composite delivered the highest outperformance on an absolute and risk adjusted basis.
Nominal and inflation-linked bond section
Colourfield Composite 4 outperformed liabilities by 1.46% during the month. Owing to the technical nature of this composite (partially funded relative to benchmark liabilities and mixed nominal and inflation-linked exposure) it is important to look at a longer history. Across a 1-year period the mandate has delivered outperformance of 1.76%.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
The metrics explored in this case study are based on holdings data and use ex-ante measures. The risk engine used in computing ex-ante risk measures is SunGard APT.
Certain assumptions were made to facilitate this process. They include:
■ Fixed income instruments were consolidated as cash.
■ Proxies were set for instruments not covered in the risk model.
■ Sub-funds were unpacked or mapped to respective instruments that represent the fund in the risk model.
■ Derivatives exposures were calculated using full revaluation.
If an instrument not covered in the risk model cannot be treated and accounted for in any of the methods outlined
Case Study: A Summary Analysis of South African Equity Managers
above, the model assumes 50% specific risk for it with zero correlation to other instruments and hence no diversification is realised from it. The results are presented anonymously.
What are the distinguishing characteristics of SA Active Managers?
The study utilised a holdings based approach. In this section the study will focus on describing the characteristics of the Benchmark cognisant category and Non-benchmark cognisant category of the equity survey. Conviction, magnitude of risk, quality of risk, style and other measures were constructed and analysed. However, given the emphasis of the main article, the analysis presented is restricted to the following measures:
1. Number of Instruments2. Concentration Index3. Active Share4. Beta5. Tracking Error6. Value at Risk (VaR)7. Style Analysis
The measures presented give a fair representation of the empirical distribution of risk measures within South African asset managers. The reader is cautioned that the analysis has survivorship biases (Read: Appendix Methodology) and interpretation of results needs to be tempered. The analysis further highlighted that some composites were categorised incorrectly as the characteristics displayed were inconsistent to the peer group.
This case study is an extension of the earlier article: “Peeling back the layers: There is more to an equity manager than their performance” and should be read first to assist the reader with the results presented here.
The case study is based on the equity composites that participate in the Alexander Forbes Manager Watch™ Equity Survey. Participation in this study was voluntary and restricted to managers who are in the survey or applied to be in the survey at the time of the analysis. Multi-managers were excluded as the purpose of the survey was to analyse single-manager composites.
119
SECTION 4
Number of Instruments
Number of Instruments
Fig. 1: Number of Instruments held in each composite (Benchmark Cognisant)
Fig. 2: Number of Instruments held in each composite (Non-Benchmark Cognisant)
Benchmark Cognisant
The bulk of the investment manager composites in the benchmark cognisant category are fairly aggressive as measured by the number of instruments held in the composite. This ranges between 30 and 87 shares, with the median usually being less than a third of the number of shares in the benchmark.
The composites that have much higher numbers of shares are quantitative strategies. These strategies purchase most of the shares in the benchmark, but weight them differently and they occasionally purchase shares outside the benchmark. Instances of off-benchmark holdings tend to be very rare.
Non-Benchmark Cognisant
The composites in the non-benchmark cognisant category are aggressive except a few outlying ones, with the number of instruments ranging between 30 and 65.
There are fewer outlying composites in this category. Those that do exist represent strategies that:
■ Hold small weights in off-benchmark positions or small capitalization shares
Some of the composites with a higher number of instruments have requested to be moved to the benchmark cognisant category. Using further measures, we will investigate if they share other characteristics with the benchmark cognisant category as then the move will be warranted.
The median number of shares in the non-benchmark cognisant category is not significantly different from the median in the benchmark cognisant category; the median numbers are respectively 44 and 50.
We have found that number of instruments on its own is not enough to differentiate the two categories and we need to use additional measures to differentiate the categories based on conviction.
120
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Fig. 3: Concentration Index: Survey Category Medians
Concentration Index
Category Medians
The graph shows the median concentration across composites of each category and indicates that there is no meaningful difference between the categories based on this measure. The non-benchmark cognisant composites tend to have high concentration than the benchmark cognisant composite, but this distinction is minor.
Active Share
Category Medians
Using active share, it is far easier to distinguish between the two categories. The median measure of active share for non-benchmark cognizant composites is significantly higher than for benchmark-cognisant managers.
This suggests that managers express higher levels of conviction relative to the benchmark when managing non-benchmark composites. This could be due to portfolio construction methods that either disregard the benchmark or seek to take very large positions relative to the benchmark.
Looking at active share is important as having small positions in a large number of shares is likely to be indicative of a low-conviction approach. It is also likely to generate returns similar to the benchmark. In the section on number of shares, composites MGR 6, MGR 14 and MGR 15 are shown with a high number of instruments. In the following graph, we can also see that these three composites have low active shares.
Fig. 4: Active Share: Survey Category medians
121
SECTION 4
Active Share
Non-Benchmark Cognisant
In contrast to benchmark cognisant composites, the non-benchmark cognisant composites are very aggressive with an average median active share of 58% and average maximum active share of 85%. The particularly high numbers for active share tend to be concentrated amongst the value managers.
Composites in this category do reduce their active shares in times where they see the market as offering fewer opportunities for excess returns. However, there are some managers with lower active shares in this category and those managers have requested to change category. These are the same managers highlighted in the earlier discussion on number of instruments as being outliers.
This indicates how complementary the various measures of conviction are. This discussion also demonstrates that in the universe of large South African equity managers for retirement funds, the most important metric for distinguishing conviction is active share.
Benchmark Cognisant
Looking at the active share distribution of the benchmark cognisant managers, the average median active share in this category is 36% and average maximum active share of 51%. This indicates that, in most cases, the composites tend not to take significant positions relative to respective indices or benchmarks. This is consistent with our expectation of the category.

Beta
Beta
Benchmark Cognisant
Benchmark-managers tend to have betas of between 0.85 and 1.1 through time. The graph reflects some stability with very little variation in the beta measure.
Fig. 7: Box and Whisker Plot: Beta - Benchmark Cognisant
Non-benchmark Cognisant
Unlike benchmark cognisant managers, non-benchmark managers show significant variation in their betas, ranging from 0.4 to 1.4. Managers with a clear non-benchmark characteristics are those with either:1. Average beta not close to one2. High variations of beta

SECTION 4
Tracking Error
Tracking Error
Benchmark Cognisant
The benchmark cognisant universe of composites has a long term median tracking error of 3.1% with the average maximum tracking error being 4.2%. There have been brief instances of managers exceeding 5% but this usually reversed in subsequent months. Due to the return expectations related to the tracking error, managers with less than 2% tracking error are not expected to generate high active returns and border on the enhanced index category.
Fig. 9: Tracking Error: Benchmark Cognisant
Non-benchmark Cognisant
The non-benchmark cognisant universe of composites has a long-term median tracking error of 6.1% with the average maximum tracking error being 12%. The lower quartile average tracking error is greater than 4%. Managers with clear non-benchmark cognisant characteristics are those with either:1. High average tracking errors2. Large variation in tracking errors
Fig. 10: Tracking Error: Non-Benchmark Cognisant

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Value at Risk (VaR)
Fig. 11: Value At Risk: Benchmark Cognisant
Fig. 12: Value at Risk: Non-Benchmark Cognisant
The composites VaR numbers resemble the volatility structure of the market, showing an increase over periods when volatility in the market is high and decreasing when market volatility is coming down.
It is not obvious from the graphs below, but the non-benchmark cognisant composites generally have low VaR and this is revealed when we seek to answer the question: “Do South African equity managers protect the investor in down markets?”
125
SECTION 4
Value Style
Momentum Style
Active Value Score: Non-benchmark Cognisant
There are a number of non-benchmark cognisant composites with prevalent value bias relative to their respective benchmarks. Analyzing individual managers as demonstrated we have established that most managers have consistently applied their bias to this factor; by either being consistently positively biased, negatively biased or neutral. These composites invest in shares with high price to book ratios relative to shares in their respective benchmarks.
Fig. 13: Value Style: Non-Benchmark Cognisant
Active Momentum Score: Benchmark Cognisant
Momentum as a factor is calculated as an average of 3-month, 6-month and 12-month weekly price returns. Momentum is not a dominant theme in this category, yet we note composites in the benchmark cognizant category are somewhat neutral momentum in the period 2009 and 2010.
Fig. 14: Momentum Style: Benchmark Cognisant
126
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Momentum Style
Does the empirical evidence support expected statistical relationships?
Active Momentum Score: Non-benchmark Cognisant
There a number of non-benchmark composites that have exposure to momentum; they have negative relative momentum scores to their benchmarks. This means they are, relative to their benchmarks, underweight stocks with high momentum scores. Analyzing individual managers as demonstrated we have established that most managers have not consistently applied their bias to this factor; by switching exposure in different market cycles to momentum. This is true for both categories.
Fig. 15: Momentum Style: Non-Benchmark Cognisant
This does not mean that these variables do not provide insight into the risk but rather that it provides little predictive value for the other variables. The more interesting relationships are explored below. The following scatterplots visually describe relationships between the two sets of data – SA Benchmark cognisant survey managers (Blue dots) and SA Non-benchmark cognisant survey managers (Red circles).
This study provided an ideal empirical basis to test the existence of relationships between the various metrics that were used to analyse equity composites. These metrics have often proved to be Rules of Thumb that are applied to funds. It provides a framework of reference for the South African equity managers and measuring the active risk characteristics. The following variables showed little or no relationship to other variables:1. Number of instruments2. Concentration3. Style Factors

SECTION 4
Tracking Error vs Active Share
Tracking Error vs Beta
Tracking Error vs Active Share
There exists an almost linear relationship between the two variables, where one expects the tracking error of the portfolio to be higher where active share is higher. This is consistent with heuristic thinking on the relationship between the variables.
Fig. 16: Scatterplot: Tracking Error vs Active Share
Tracking Error vs Beta
There is a marked difference between the two category types. In Benchmark cognisant portfolio construction there seems to be little relationship between beta and tracking error, indicative of a relative approach to portfolio construction. Within non-benchmark cognisant composites there is evidence that as the beta approaches one, the tracking error approaches zero.
Reciprocally, we could say that as the beta of the portfolio moves away from one the tracking error estimate becomes larger. This may be a function of the absolute mindset of portfolio construction. The empirical evidence shows that it is also possible to construct low beta portfolios without taking on significant active risk. Fig. 17: Scatterplot: Tracking Error vs Beta

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Value at Risk (VaR) vs Beta
Value at Risk vs Beta
Again there is a dichotomous result between the two categories. Benchmark cognisant composites have little or no relationship to each other. A weak relationship exists for non-benchmark cognisant composites that high beta portfolios lead to higher VaR outcomes.
Fig. 18: Scatterplot: Value at Risk vs Beta
Fig. 19: % of Composites with VaR better than SWIX
Many managers (specifically non benchmark strategies) have stated that they have a mindset which biases their portfolio towards protecting the investor against downside risks. This study was an ideal position to test this understanding. The VaR for each composite through time was computed and was then compared against the VaR of the SWIX benchmark (This could have been done to any market benchmark).
Remember: The VaR estimates the minimum loss of the portfolio under extreme market conditions (used 95% level of probability). A portfolio with a lower VaR is expected to lose less and is better at protecting the investor.
% Composite with VaR less than Market VaR (SWIX)
For the entire period under analysis, there were only 3 periods where the non-benchmark cognisant funds in the analysis had a worse prospective VaR estimate than the SWIX. Up to 2009, the more than 75% of composites had better VaR estimates but this has degraded subsequently. However, most funds are expected to lose less than the SWIX in negative markets. This provides empirical support for the
Do South African equity managers protect the investor in down markets?
managers that they have constructed portfolios that were structured to protect better in a down market.
One should note that markets were positive and there is no such thing as a “free lunch”. These portfolios by protecting the investor against
negative markets simultaneously gave up performance in positive markets and would have had to rely on stock specific outcomes to outperform the SWIX.
More analysis on this component will be conducted in the future.

SECTION 4
Survivorship: Full Period
In the following graph, we represent survivorship over the full period. The number in red represents the composites that no longer participate in 2014, while the blue number represents those that do.
Appendix One: Methodology
Participants were required to send monthly month-end composite holdings from the earlier of January 2006 and inception up until December 2013.
Survivorship: Year-on-Year
The diagram illustrates survivorship over this period on a year-on-year basis. For instance, in 2006 there were 45 participants and 42 (blue bar) of them continued to participate in 2007, meaning 3 (dark red bar) were not participants in 2007. This could be due to:
■ Mergers and changes in the name of the manager;
■ Managers or funds ceased to exist;
■ Voluntary withdrawal.
For instance, only around 45% of the equity survey participants in 2006 continue to participate in 2014. What this demonstrates is the role of survivorship bias, especially give
the voluntary nature of the survey. This danger is a key reason in why applications to join the survey are interrogated and why managers need to be closely monitored once they join
the survey. Only by examining metrics beyond the standard risk-return metrics can we ensure that “apples” are being compared with “apples”.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Fee Analysis
Investment management fees are intended to compensate investment managers for their time and skill to manage the assets of a fund, and are usually in the form of a percentage of the assets managed.
Africa are among the highest in the world”. The purpose of the Alexander Forbes Fee Survey is to create transparency and visibility of fees charged by the investment industry for institutional pension fund mandates.
The main benefit is to provide trustees, asset consultants, and advisors with a framework to benchmark the fees that they are being charged. The survey was conducted across nine popular pension fund mandates:
Fees can be on a fixed or sliding scale that decreases with fund size. The main types of investment fees are annual base fees and performance fees. The performance fee is generally calculated as a percentage of investment profits, often both realised and unrealised, in simple terms we can define performance fees as managers share in the funds' profits but not in their losses.
Fees have become exceedingly popular in the last couple of years with National Treasury raising concerns regarding investment fees in South Africa, “Retirement investment fees in South

Limitations: ■ The universe was restricted to asset managers that participate in the Alexander Forbes surveys.
■ Participation in the survey was voluntary. ■ Not all managers offer all the mandates, so participants across these mandates varied.
■ Not all managers have a base-only fee offering. ■ The standardisation of fees in AuM categories does not reflect an individual manager’s fee scale.
■ The participants in each annual survey were not constant.
The managers were asked to break down their fee structure into a standardised Asset under Management (AuM) framework:0 -50 million51-100 million101-150 million151 -250 million251 – 500 million500 + millionInternational

SECTION 4
Domestic Balanced Mandates
The average Balanced mandate fee has increased in 2014 by more than 10%. This was for both segregated and pooled mandates. An interesting trend observed in this survey was
that Balanced pooled products have shifted from a flat fee across all AuM categories to a sliding fee scale similar to segregated mandates. There are no material differences in fees between
segregated and pooled products, but segregated products offer many advantages over pooled solutions to a pension fund.
Global Balanced Mandates
On the positive side the average global balanced mandates has become cheaper in 2014, after seeing an increase in fees over 2013. Fees for segregated mandates were
Generally, more managers offered performance fee mandate options. Overall base fees on all mandates decreased, with the performance fee element within these mandates also following suit.
marginally cheaper than pooled products. Segregated product fees ranged between 50 bps and 63 bps. International fees however are becoming more expensive on average,
higher by over 15bps in 2014. Fees for minimum assets (AuM 0-50 million) have come down by on average 7 bps which is beneficial for smaller funds.

Domestic equity mandate fees ranged between 49 bps and 59 bps. After seeing a slight spike in 2013, fees were reduced between 3-5 bps across all categories. Maximum fees have also reduced.
implying a reduction in fee of over 10%. Average fees have declined largely due to managers in the top end having reduced their fees.
Minimum fees have crept back to 2012 levels. However, fees for small mandates have increased.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Investment Survey Glossary
Absolute Return Investment Strategy
An actively managed investment objective that seeks consistent, positive returns regardless of whether markets are rising or falling; and without reference to a benchmark index for comparison. While not all absolute return strategies are alike, typically, the goal is to produce returns in excess of the inflation rate and/or cash that can be measured by the consumer price index (CPI) while protecting against capital losses.
Active Fund Management
An investment approach that relies on the belief that it is possible to outperform the market. Typically an actively managed fund would select asset classes and investment securities that are expected to perform better than the market or benchmark.
Active Return
The difference in returns between a fund and its benchmark at each point in time.
ALBI (All Bond Index)
A popular index used to benchmark performance for South African fixed income (bond) portfolios. This index represents a weighted basket of the top 20 South African bonds ranked dually by market capitalisation and liquidity.
ALSI (FTSE JSE All Share Index)
A popular index used to benchmark performance for South African equity portfolios. This index represents a weighted basket of 99% of the full market capitalisation of all eligible companies listed on the main board of the JSE subject to free float and liquidity criteria. The index can be divided by size into the Top 40, Mid Cap and Small Cap Indices.
Annualised Return
To convert an investment return over a period other than one year into an equivalent one-year rate of return for comparative purposes. Annualising returns for periods shorter than a year is not recommended.
Asset Class
Categories of investments that behave similarly and are subject to similar market forces. Major asset classes include equities (shares), fixed income (bonds and cash), commodities and property.
AuM (Assets Under Management)
The market value of assets held by an investment manager on behalf of clients.
Balanced Fund Strategy
An actively managed investment framework where the asset allocation, strategies employed and risk assumed to achieve the specified investment objective is delegated to the investment manager.
Basis Point
One hundredth of 1%, e.g.100 basis points = 1% (one basis point is 1/100th of 1%).
Benchmark
An independently constructed reference (usually a publicly available index) that sets an objective rate of return (the neutral position) that should be used to test the effective implementation of an investment strategy. A good benchmark will also be representative of the asset class or mandate and is investable itself.
Bonds
Debt issued by a government or a company, typically promising regular payments of coupons (interest) on specified dates with a final capital payment on the maturity date. It can be viewed as a loan given to bond issuers by bond holders.
BSAGI (Barclays SA Government Inflation Linked Bond Index)
A popular index used to benchmark performance for local inflation linked bonds. This index represents a weighted basket of SA government issued inflation linked bonds calculated by Barclays Capital.
Cash
A major category of asset class, which is commonly used to represent short-term deposits, NCDs and other negotiable instruments (usually held in a bank) that can be readily exchanged into coins and banknotes. This is usually considered the risk-free asset.
Composite
A group of similarly managed portfolios within a single investment manager and typically defined within the investment managers’ Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS™) policy.
Composite Dispersion
The extent to which the returns of all portfolios within a composite differ. It can be measured in different ways, including: the difference between the maximum and the minimum return (range); the difference between the first and third quartile (inter-quartile range); the standard deviation of returns, or mean absolute deviation.
139
SECTION 5
Compound Rate Of Return
A compound rate of return that expresses the relationship between the initial investment and the returns earned on that investment, incorporating future returns which are earned on past returns. For most investors, this is the most accurate way to calculate their returns as most investors will leave their returns in an investment.
Coupon Rate
A bond’s coupon rate is the rate used to calculate the periodic interest payments paid by the issuer of a bond to its owner at the time of payment. It is set when the bond is issued and is usually related to the nominal value of the bond at the time of issuance.
CPI (Consumer Price Index)
CPI is an estimate of the inflation rate measuring the price of goods and services in the economy.
Credit
A type of bond issued by a non-governmental entity. These bonds typically carry a higher risk than government guaranteed bonds, e.g. bonds issued by companies.
Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a bond issuer will default on any type of debt by failing to make required payments, i.e. probability that the bond issuer will make debt payments late.
Cumulative Returns
The cumulative return for a portfolio or an asset is the cumulative compound return over the full length of a specified time period. The percentage measure of this return is not annualised and as such represents the actual total return of the portfolio or asset over the period. By annualising the percentage figure, one can calculate the average annual return of the portfolio or asset over the period.
Duration
Duration is a measure of interest rate risk for a bond or portfolio of bonds. It measures the sensitivity of the value of a bond – or collection of bonds – to a change in interest rates.
Effective Interest Rate
The effective rate converts the compounding rate of return into a simple rate of return. This means that the effective rate of return can simply be multiplied by the investment period to calculate the cumulative rate of return.
Equities
A major category of asset class, which is a commonly used name for ordinary shares, representing ownership in a company. The owner of the share (shareholder) will generally be able to vote on company issues; and will be entitled to dividends declared.
Fixed Income
A major category of asset class that includes cash, nominal bonds, inflation linked bonds and credit instruments.
GIPS™
The Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) is a set of standardised, industry-wide ethical principles that guide investment firms on how to calculate and present their investment results to prospective clients.
Hedge Funds
These are usually absolute return investment strategies that use alternative investment techniques (e.g. short positions, leverage, etc.). The funds can be used in a Regulation 28 strategy but are not compliant as stand-alone products.
140
MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Inflation
The increase in the general price level in the economy. The inflation rate is calculated by defining a basket of goods and services that a typical consumer would consume and calculating a weighted average of the prices of those goods to arrive at a single percentage number, e.g. CPI.
ILBs (Inflation Linked Bonds)
An inflation linked bond is a type of bond where the final capital payment is adjusted by the inflation rate for the term of the bond.
Information Ratio
A risk-adjusted measure of return calculated by dividing the active return of a fund by the tracking error of the fund.
Inter-Quartile Range
A statistical measure representing the difference between the medians of the upper half and the lower half of a ranked set of data.
Investment Manager
An organisation that invests assets on behalf of third parties for a fee.
Investment Philosophy
A framework of principles and way of thinking about markets that underlies the beliefs and approach of an investment manager. It drives which asset classes and investment securities to include in the investment portfolio. It can be used to describe the style of a manager.
JSE (Johannesburg Securities Exchange)
Currently the only South African Exchange which offers a centralised trading platform to capital markets across a diverse set of investment securities, in particular, equities, bonds and derivatives.
Long Position
It is a positive holding in a portfolio that results from buying investments in the portfolio. This is done when the manager believes that the value of this investment security will increase in the future and they will be able to sell it for a higher price and create a profit. This is directly opposite to a short position.
Leverage
It is a holding in a portfolio that results from using complex alternative trading techniques that allows the manager to buy investment securities with money borrowed or by using collateral as a means of payment.
Lower Quartile
A statistical measure representing the bottom 25% of observations in a ranked set of data.
Maximum Drawdown
A risk of loss measure that is calculated as the maximum loss incurred by an investment over a stated time horizon.
Market Capitalisation
The value of a company’s issued share capital, i.e. share price multiplied by number of shares on the stock exchange.
Mean Absolute Deviation
A measure of dispersion calculated as the average of the absolute differences between each value and the mean in a data set.
Median
A statistical measure representing the midpoint value in a ranked set of data.
Modified Duration
Modified duration is a type of duration measure which measures the approximate sensitivity of the value of a bond – or collection of bonds – to a change in interest rates, assuming the
141
SECTION 5
cash flows remain unchanged. As such, it is only appropriate for bonds with no embedded options.
Money Market
Market for short-term loans and deposits with a maturity less than one year.
Money Weighted Return
Measures internal rate of return, to identify when cash flows are entering or exiting an investment by discounting cash flows to the beginning value.
Overweight
Exposure to a specific investment security or asset class in a portfolio, which is higher than the proportion it represents in the market index or benchmark it is being compared to.
Peer Group
Usually refers to a set of similarly managed investment mandates.
Passive Investing
An implementation approach of a specialist fund strategy where the need to outperform the benchmark is not required in order to meet the investment objective. The specialist investment strategy is invested in passive funds. Not to be confused with passive fund management.
Passive Fund Management
An investment approach that seeks to replicate the performance and risk of an investable benchmark/index. Typically the investment portfolio will mirror the holdings of a market index. Passive managers believe that this is a more efficient and cost-effective way of accessing the risk and return profile of an asset class or investment style.
Pooled Portfolio
Funds from many individual investors that are aggregated for the purposes of investment, as in the case of a
retirement fund. Investors in pooled fund investments benefit from economies of scale, which allow for lower trading costs, diversification and professional fees. Pooled funds are generally backed by a policy of insurance.
Quarterly
Usually refers to 3-month periods ending 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December.
Range
A statistical measure representing the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a ranked set of data.
Real Return Portfolios
An alternative name for a portfolio using an absolute return investment strategy.
Regulation 28
Investment limits set by the Pensions Fund Act on retirement funds to protect against imprudent investment decisions.
Return
Percentage increase in the value of an investment over a period of time, expressed as a percentage of the value of the investment at the start of the period. All returns in this survey are calculated as time weighted rates of return.
Risk
Risk is a very generic term used to calculate either variation in returns or as a measure of losses. Volatility is usually used as a proxy for risk that measures variation. Maximum drawdown is usually used as a proxy of risk that measures loss.
Risk Premium
The return differential between the risk-free asset (cash) and a risky asset.
Rolling Return
A time series of a rate of return with the same time horizon for a portfolio, asset class or investment security. It represents a realistic way of reporting returns, which takes into account different market and economic environments.
Scatter Plot
A diagram illustrating the relationship between two sets of quantities using dots that can be used to generate a line of best fit.
Sector
All instruments within a particular area of activity or industry for an asset class. The JSE defines sectors as Financials, Basic Materials, Oil and Gas Producers, Industrials, Consumer Goods, Healthcare, Consumer Services, Telecommunications and Technology. The Bond sectors are Government, Parastatals, State Owned Enterprises, Corporates and Other.
Simple Rate Of Return
A simple rate of return that expresses the relationship between the initial investment and the rate at which returns are earned on that investment, ignoring any ability for further returns to be earned on past returns. This is only an accurate reflection of the investor’s return when all returns are paid out from the portfolio when they are earned.
Segregated Portfolio
Segregated portfolios are not pooled with those of other investors and so the performance and expenses of an investment account are not affected by the activities of any other investors in the portfolio.
Sharpe Ratio
Risk adjusted return ratio of return per unit of risk. It is calculated as excess return (over the risk-free return) divided by volatility.

MANAGER WATCH™ SURVEY
Short Position
It is a negative holding in a portfolio that results from using complex alternative trading techniques that allows the sale of an investment security that is not owned. This is done when the manager believes that the value of this investment security will decrease in the future and they will be able to buy it back later for a lower price and create a profit. This is directly opposite to a long position.
Sortino Ratio (Capital Loss Or Inflation)
A risk adjusted return measure similar to the Sharpe ratio. The Sortino ratio measures risk as the volatility of the returns below a certain target (0% in the case of capital loss and inflation in the case of inflation).
Specialist Fund Strategy
An investment approach where the asset allocation, investment strategies employed and risk assumed to achieve the specified investment objectives are explicitly defined and not delegated to the investment manager. A specialist investment strategy may be implemented actively or passively.
Specialist Mandate
A mandate given to an investment manager to manage specific asset classes (equities, bonds, etc.) or investment strategies (hedge funds, impact investing, etc.) as part of a specialist fund strategy.
STeFI (Short Term Fixed Interest Index)
A popular index used to benchmark performance for South African cash portfolios. This index represents a weighted basket of money market instruments of different investment maturities such as NCDs and call deposits.
SAA (Strategic Asset Allocation)
An investment technique that sets the medium- to long-term allocation to
asset classes which will primarily meet the investment objectives within a defined level of risk. Used primarily in specialist fund strategies.
SWIX (FTSE JSE Shareholder Weighted Index)
A popular index used to benchmark performance for South African equity portfolios. This index represents a shareholder weighted basket of companies listed on the main board of the JSE with all constituents down weighted by applying an alternative free float known as the SWIX free float.
TAA (Tactical Asset Allocation)
An investment technique that periodically adjusts the SAA to take advantage of opportunities in the market in order to enhance returns in the short term; and maximise risk adjusted returns.
Term To Maturity
The time remaining on the life of a bond, i.e. time remaining for the bond to be fully repaid.
Time-Weighted Rate Of Return
The compound rate of return over a stated evaluation period of one unit of money initially invested in the portfolio or strategy.
Time Horizon
The time period relating to the rate of return measurement calculation. It can also refer to the time set to meet a certain investment objective or goal.
Top 40 (FTSE/JSE Top 40 Index)
A popular index used to benchmark performance for South African large equity portfolios. This index represents a weighted basket of the forty largest companies which are constituents of the FTSE / JSE All Share Index, ranked by full market
capitalisation. Interestingly the number of constituents can exceed 40, as some companies issue multiple share types (e.g. Investec, Mondi).
Tracking Error
Measure of variability of returns relative to benchmark or index. It is usually expressed as an annualised standard deviation of active returns.
Underweight
Exposure to a specific investment security or asset class in a portfolio which is lower than the proportion it represents in the market index or benchmark it is being compared to.

Investment philosophy
27Four focuses on building well-diversified portfolios that are linked to a broad spectrum of investor goals and appetites for risk.
They believe that asset allocation is the primary determinant of variation in portfolio return and is the cornerstone of portfolio construction. Their skilled investment team is experienced in the application of quantitative techniques to identify the sources of asset class returns across different market cycles to derive their long-term asset allocation views.
They invest in a combination of large, well known managers and smaller untapped “boutiques” who they believe possess a distinct performance advantage as they are more nimble and opportunistic, especially in asset classes where the ability to take calculated risks and move swiftly is vital to success.
Core to their investment philosophy is risk mitigation. Rigorous risk management and monitoring is applied
at every level of their investment process and equal importance is given to business, compliance, operational and administrative risks as is applied to investment performance risk.

Investment philosophy
Philosophy and styleAFC employs a multi-disciplinary approach to asset management, involving fundamental as well as behavioural (technical) forms of analysis.
AFC believes that in excess of 90% of performance is derived from correct asset allocation and industry selection, so the majority of analysis time is spent on understanding the macro environment. The investment style is thematic, with stock selection reflecting those themes believed to be impacting the investment environment at any point in time. As thematic investing relies on understanding the changes within economies, its implementation will result in portfolio structures that are not carbon-copies of market indices. A by-product of the thematic and behavioural approach is that views will sometimes be taken against market consensus, but resulting in superior performance at lower than average risk.

As bottom up stock pickers they do not make decisions based on short term company performance or any view of the short term performance of the economic environment.

Investment philosophy
Allan Gray’s investment philosophy is valuation orientated which means that our research effort is focused on identifying good quality assets that are priced below intrinsic value. Intrinsic value is calculated using a number of methodologies but is usually defined as the discounted value of expected future cash flows. We typically buy shares when research and analysis indicates that the intrinsic value of the company far exceeds its market price, in anticipation of the price rising to its intrinsic value. This is in contrast to the “momentum” approach where a manager identifies an upward trend and follows this by purchasing stock in the belief that the trend will continue.

Investment philosophy
Cadiz Asset Management are value investors. Value investing has a proven history of generating better returns than the market over the long term, but also has implicit downside protection characteristcs. Their approach is based on the belief that markets are inefficient in the short term. Within a normal business cycle, asset prices can be substantially different from their long-run true business or intrinsic value. These differences between asset prices and asset values are caused by the collective behaviour of investors acting out of fear or greed. Investors tend to over extend recent asset price trends upwards (in greed) or downwards (in fear).
Cadiz strives to remain rational, dispassionate and exploit the opportunities that investor behaviour creates, thereby generating superior returns for their clients. In order to identify the mispriced opportunities, they follow a sound, systematic and disciplined bottom-up fundamental approach. This means they do not perform any forecasting in their investment process but rather price an asset by studying its long-term
performance and risk compensation metrics and by normalising these trends. As a discipline, they only become interested in buying an asset once they are convinced that they will be generously compensated for the risk they propose to take. Conversely, Cadiz only sells an asset once they believe that they have been more than compensated by its return. In this way, they aim to generate superior returns for their clients with the least amount of risk.

Investment philosophy
The price you pay for an investment is the primary determinant of your investment return.
Deep value fundamental stock picker using a rules driven framework for stock selection and fund construction. Cannon Asset Managers seeks cheap, high quality stocks that also have higher relative forecast returns than the market.
As explained, they identify and buy stocks that, on balance, represent deep value. These factors include lower price-earnings ratios than the market, higher dividend yields than the market, lower price-to-book ratios than the market, lower price-to-sales ratios than the market, and attractive CAPE ratios, that give through-the-cycle insights.
Cannon have demonstrated that portfolios with these attributes will outperform over time. They further enhance their certainty of alpha by not just owning stocks with the above attributes, but by ensuring that they (relative to their peers) also are of higher quality with;
■ lower exogenous risk (legal, governance and macro); and
■ lower financial risk (profitability, financial performance and operating efficiency).
■ preferably have positive momentum; and
■ have higher three-year earnings expectations than the market as a whole and their sector peers.
Hence, Cannon portfolios are characterized by three attributes, namely evidence of value, robust financial quality and an earnings expectation that is better than the broader market.

Investment philosophy
Element Investment Managers, believe that a disciplined long-term contrarian approach is the most reliable way to achieve superior absolute returns for investors over the long term. They are index agnostic as their aim is to research companies and assets and buy them when their current prices are below their long term intrinsic values and have the discipline to hold them until these intrinsic values are realized. As a result of their long-term contrarian philosophy, it is likely that their portfolios will at times be materially different from other market participants or indices against which they are measured.

Investment philosophy
How Foord think about investments determines how they act. The tenets of their investment philosophy are the lights that guide what they do:
Get the big calls rightMeaningful investment returns are not earned by making incremental decisions. Superior long-term returns are generated by identifying and taking advantage of economic cycles. In the long term, it is never beneficial to invest in the fast hounds of the slow pack.
Buy at the right priceThe price at which one purchases an investment dictates future returns: pay too dear, and future returns are compromised. “Cheap” or “dear” are concepts that crystallise with fundamental analysis of the future revenue streams and associated risks of an investment security. Investing with a margin of safety is critical to reducing the future risk of loss.
Take a long term view and be patientSpeculation is a short-term activity with an inherently uncertain result. Investment is a long-term activity with a more certain result. Like the maturation of a good wine or the growing of a tree, an investment’s full potential realises over time.
Ignore the benchmark when building portfoliosA benchmark is often representative of what is in vogue or what is simply big. Bigger isn’t always better and fashion is fickle. Portfolios should be constructed by applying objective, independent perspectives to their composition. To outperform the herd you have to be different from the herd.
Diversify and manage riskDiversification offers possibly the only “free lunch” in the market – it affords the investor the chance to manage the risk of being wrong. Diversification should be used often, but not excessively. Where careful analysis gives an investor greater conviction, less diversification is needed – because the risk of being wrong is lower.

Investment philosophy
Futuregrowth’s Fixed Interest investment philosophy is to maximise long-term investment returns by identifying, measuring and managing all value-adding components of interest bearing investments.
This can be broadly broken down into two core areas. Firstly, the interest rate process involves the determination of the most likely future direction of interest rates, followed by the most appropriate allocation to money market, nominal and inflation-linked bonds as well as yield curve positioning across all three of these broad interest rate asset classes.
The interest rate strategy is expressed mainly by utilising the most liquid RSA government bond market. The process endeavours to identify market anomalies by finding balance between economic fundamental analysis (top down) and market valuation (bottom-up). They frequently find a mismatch which enables them to express their view, preferably against a well-priced market consensus.
Along with the intense scrutiny they pay to the interest rate process, tey channel substantial efforts into asset selection. The core of the asset selection process is the creation of diversified portfolios with substantial yield enhancement through a robust credit/analysis process. As a result the portfolio’s running yield should produce long term, stable outperformance.
In terms of market anomalies, Futuregrowth believe that they can add alpha through focused exploitation of market inefficiencies. They use well practiced quantitative processes to select high credit quality and high yielding assets. They do realise that in the course of earning higher yields the portfolio is exposed to both default risk and widening credit spreads. These risks are minimised in a number of ways that include:
■ Using a rigorous fundamental process that screens good assets for inclusion in the portfolio
■ Ensuring diversity by credit exposure limits (issuer, credit class, sector)
■ Negotiating strong lender covenants, security and protections which reduce the likelihood of default and also increase our estimated recovery rates in an event of default
■ Actively monitoring and managing these assets
■ Pricing appropriately for credit risk

Investment philosophy
Kagiso makes investment decisions based on mispricings they observe in the market. Simply put, they buy investments that are priced well below their intrinsic values and avoid those that they believe are overpriced.
Opportunities arise when market prices deviate from intrinsic value.
All investments represent a set of future cash flows, which can be valued with reasonable accuracy. Over time, this intrinsic value progresses at a fairly stable pace. Asset prices, however, fluctuate considerably through time. This is largely due to self-reinforcing cycles of enthusiasm or negativity, often fuelled by an excessive focus on near-term data and news flow.
Their aim is to identify and exploit mispricings in the markets. They therefore buy investments at prices well below their estimation of intrinsic value and hold them while they deliver strong cash returns and until they can be sold above this value. Once sold, Kagiso avoids such overvalued investments for as long as the market price is above the intrinsic value.
Kagiso recognises that there is considerable danger in operating with the comfort of a false sense of certainty and the accompanying behavioural reinforcement cycles that lead to a distorted evaluation of new information. As a result, they understand that despite their best efforts, they cannot possibly know all the facts.
This drives them to think more deeply, to work harder and to be more alert. They view the future in terms of probabilities, explore alternative scenarios, diversify our positions, hedge risk and seek out potential asymmetries.

Investment philosophy
Momentum aim to generate competitive, risk-adjusted returns on a consistent basis through a full market cycle. They do this through a focus on active investing based on asset allocation and equity selection, and integrate these with portfolio construction process to control risk.
A top-down strategy is applied in deciding asset and sector emphasis, while the bottom-up approach is driven by the belief that intrinsic company valuation is the only basis for sustained long-term performance. While some value may be added through other, more short-term considerations, this contribution is regarded as less reliable and should only constitute a small portion of the overall risk budget, and hence of the overall return.
They believe that a clear investment team structure and disciplined adherence to a clearly defined investment process is necessary for investment success. Hence a rigorous formal risk-budgeting and portfolio construction processes are applied as core competencies. These processes
ensure investment discipline and maintain that our views are transferred into our portfolios consistently and efficiently.

Investment philosophy
At Old Mutual Multi-Managers their philosophy revolves around clearly defining each client’s objectives, together with the client, and then aiming to deliver on those objectives. This means that their main focus is on inflation, particularly in relation to retirement funds and its members, and this enables them to avoid some of the pitfalls of worrying what the rest of the investor herd is up to. They also have a long term view that they believe enables their investment team to focus on making sound decisions that will deliver for clients rather than satisfying the short term goals of performance charts, awards and surveys.

The PAM investment process is driven by the underlying investment philosophy that markets are not efficient and that value can be extracted from market drivers that are not fully discounted in the underlying share or asset prices. Inefficiencies typically stem from inter alia the herd effect in markets, interventions from policy makers and asset/liability adjustments.

Investment philosophy
At Prescient, they define risk as the probability of not meeting the investment objectives of the client. To this extent, positions taken in portfolios are mathematically tested using different scenarios to determine the portfolio outcome. This ensures that the position taken will on the upside, deliver on client expectation, while at the same time, in downward markets, it will not breach the risk objective of the client. The core of Prescient’s investment philosophy is capital preservation and the management of downside risk.
Their investment philosophy gives rise to a distinctive style, QuantPlus® which defines the investment process that Prescient employs. The process is essentially an ‘enhanced’ benchmark process, with the client’s risk limits determining the size of positions taken relative to the risk benchmark. “Quants” refers to the quantitative process where the position outcome is tested to ensure that it will meet the client’s objectives. “Plus” refers to the process where the enhancements and positions are systematically taken to generate additional performance above the benchmark, while still adhering to the client’s risk limits.

Investment philosophy
Prudential believe that market prices are broadly efficient over the long term, but can be very inefficient over shorter periods. Therefore, at any point in time, market prices may not reflect intrinsic values, either of individual assets or of entire markets. Short-term inefficiencies are essentially driven by repeating behavioral errors by market participants; particularly an alternation between ‘greed and fear’. Prices do not stay at unrealistic levels indefinitely; sooner or later they reflect intrinsic values dictated by fundamental economic factors. Repeating behavioral errors and the eventual convergence of market prices to reflect fundamental values provide sustainable opportunities for active, long-term investors such as Prudential to earn excess returns by investing in mis-priced assets.

Investment philosophy
PSG put risk first in all that they do. They look for investment opportunities that will provide them with a sufficient margin of safety and an asymmetrical payoff range. This pay-off range should translate into little downside and sufficient upside. They believe that they will invest in any opportunity (equity or fixed income) provided that there is a sufficient margin of safety to ensure that they are not likely to incur permanent capital loss on that investment.
In essence they compare ideas across a range of opportunities, both fixed income and equity, looking for the highest probability, real, risk-adjusted yields. This leads to an absolute rather than relative mindset.
Their equity philosophy is guided by their simple checklist of the 3 M’s: Moats, Management and Margin of safety. They look to invest in companies with strong business models and management teams and a sufficient margin of safety.
They prefer to invest in high quality compounding return type companies with strong management teams and a long runway of future opportunities to invest in. They will however also invest in mean reverting type companies on a more opportunistic basis, provided there is a sufficient margin of safety.
Their highest return ideas typically come from high quality companies that have a large though fixable problem or temporary headwind, which has resulted in a depressed share price. They then are buying a compounder with strong mean reverting valuation properties.

Investment philosophy
RECM’s investment activity is grounded in the value philosophy, with an emphasis on consistently applying a sensible investment process. The investment process is a bottom-up process, based on proprietary research. In addition, the investment process is risk-conscious, where risk is defined as losing money, rather than volatility around a benchmark. The focus is on protecting capital, and growing it where possible and where sensible. Ultimately, such an investment process relies on avoiding, as far as possible, deep drawdowns of capital. It does this by only accepting investment risk where the investor is clearly being paid handsomely to do so – in other words, by only buying assets when the price is significantly below a reasonable estimation of fair value. Sources of return are thus two-fold: the movement from cheap to fair value, as well as the intrinsic growth that most good quality businesses exhibit over time. RECM believes that these are the only two sources of return that investors can access on a consistent basis.

Investment philosophy
SIM follows a pragmatic value investment philosophy. They believe that financial markets are inefficient and that they can add value relative to the general market indices as a result of this. Market inefficiency exists primarily because financial market participants are driven by human emotions, such as fear and greed. These emotions cause asset prices to move away from their fair values, which creates investment opportunities for patient investors. Also, as various market participants have different investment time frames and liquidity requirements, assets can become mispriced on a temporary basis.
As all information is publicly available, SIM cannot claim to add value by trying to gain an information edge relative to our competitors. The markets are global and they compete against the best teams in London, New York and elsewhere. In light of this, SIM do not believe that it is possible to forecast economic variables and company earnings better than anybody else, and it is a feature of our approach that they do not rely on such forecasts.
Rather, in terms of their pragmatic value approach, they believe that they can identify mispriced assets given current available information. The word “pragmatic” refers to the Charles Peirce School of investment philosophy, which advocates taking a practical approach to matters with reference to historical events. For valuing assets, SIM use a fair value framework based on long-term historical asset returns. Opportunities arise when current prices differ from these long-term fair values. The assumption that assets revert to their long term average real returns is fundamental to their approach. For example, they would assume that a company’s return on equity will return to its long run average over time.
SIM’s approach works particularly well for assets with future cash flow streams. Valuing currencies and commodities are more difficult as economic factors, such as supply and demand, come into play.

Investment philosophy
Sanlam believes that the market is inefficient in the short term. For various reasons, the market may either under- or overweight the importance of certain information and cause asset prices to deviate from their fair value in the short term. This creates the potential for superior investment managers to take advantage of this deviation between fair value and market price, and to outperform the general market or benchmark substantially over time. Anyone can pick a manager based on past performance. But as is known, past performance is not an indication of future performance. SMMI’s skill lies in distinguishing between whether outperformance was due to luck, and is therefore unlikely to be repeated; or due to skill, and is therefore repeatable in future.
Sanlam also believes that not all managers perform equally well in all phases of the market cycle. At times the market favours a particular investment style, only for another style or bias to outperform at a different time in the cycle. Their world-class research enables them to distinguish between skillful managers and lucky managers, without being blinded by
short term performance noise in the market that happen to favour their particular investment style.

Investment philosophy
Their knowledge and experience in property markets allows them to take a holistic approach to property investment. They believe in long-term value investment; however their specialist focus allows them to take advantage of short-term growth opportunities.
Their investment decisions are centred on four main pillars – the 4 “d’s”:
■ Their passion for direct property – kicking the tyres,
■ Understanding the broader macroeconomic drivers of property investment,
■ Taking views on corporate action “deals” and spotting the “hidden” potential in the sector. They have also built strong relationships with various stakeholders in the listed property sector.
■ Focus on detail (all stock and sector modelling done in house) distinguishes them from their peers.
■ The team’s combined experience in local and international markets, they believe, is superior to competitors
■ Sesfikile does its own in-house stock modelling and research
■ The team does its own trading and sources lines of stock in house
■ The processes have all been generated by the executive directors and the small specialist boutique approach / structure makes them more nimble and flexible in execution of investment ideas.

Investment philosophy
STANLIB believes that there is no ‘one size fits all’ investment solution for clients. Diverse clients need diverse investment outcomes. They therefore look at investments through many lenses and from many angles - this gives them an in-depth understanding of an ever changing investment landscape. Their investment model thus houses multiple focused units with unique philosophies, which cater for diverse client needs.
The STANLIB investment team consists of Franchises made up of specialist teams of investment professionals. They manage clients’ assets in their area of expertise, namely: fixed interest, property, equities, multi-asset allocation, multi-management and alternatives. These specialist investment teams deal with market changes with agility and speed, as they are supported by dedicated research, trade, implementation, risk management and compliance teams. Their Multi-Specialist Franchise Model truly reflects the complex investment world they operate in and echoes their desire to deliver tailored solutions for diverse clients; the result of which is a broad
investment offering designed to deliver their investment promise to clients.
They strongly believe it is possible to add value both through superior research and a superior investment process. For this reason, STANLIB currently employs 75 investment professionals.

Investment philosophy
Taquanta believe market prices are both inefficient and relatively efficient depending on what they are measured against. Market prices are relatively inefficient against true intrinsic value because the bulk of the information that determines true value is currently unavailable. This creates the potential for alpha. However, market prices are relatively efficient when measured against available information: i.e. given that nobody knows the future, the potential for market participants to reliably estimate which asset is relatively overvalued and which undervalued is Ltd. Further they believe investment returns are uncertain, even those that are ostensibly guaranteed. Therefore they term their overall investment philosophy, which guides the building of client portfolios and products, as Defined Certainty at the Right Price. They believe their rigorous investment processes can improve the probability of their clients meeting investment objectives. Defined Certainty speaks to the firm’s belief in clearly defining and communicating the characteristics of the product or portfolio in terms of risk, return, costs
and consistency. The product must be offered at “the Right Price”: such that clients maintain as much benefit as possible after all costs (management fees, trading costs & tax).

Investment philosophy
TriAlpha is trusted by large, sophisticated institutional investors to build innovative products that meet their expectations of incremental alpha generation, with an intense focus on downside risk protection. The predominant focus is the management of enhanced Cash and Fixed Income long-only and hedge fund institutional investment mandates using a portable alpha approach. Their portable alpha approach combines different investment styles to achieve consistency throughout the Fixed Income market cycle. By Fixed Income they mean conventional bonds, inflation-linked bonds, convertible bonds, notes, fixed rate agreements, loans, deposits, money market instruments and at the margin preference shares and property.
Portable alpha, also known as “alpha transport”, refers to the ability of a portfolio manager to extract the alpha generated within any investment portfolio from the beta, and to then apply this outperformance to any other asset class the manager chooses, which ultimately eliminates the market risk of the manager’s portfolio.
So the sweet spot for the firm on the relative / absolute return continuum is the cross-section where the return objective leans towards actively exploiting investment opportunity through skills sets, and the risk objective is not to take more than market risk when replicating or beating a benchmark.

Investment philosophy
Their investment process is firmly rooted in fundamental analysis. Visio’s approach is predominantly bottom up and sector or theme specific.
Every company is different and is influenced by its own particular factors, hence the need for in-depth research and analysis, regular management contact, site visits, broker and company presentations, etc. They spend a considerable amount of time ‘on the road’ towards achieving this end. Additional attention is devoted to companies that are either under-researched, not covered by sell side analysts or otherwise those businesses considered out of favor from time to time by the investment fraternity. There is limited use of both quantitative techniques and technical analysis in the formulation of their strategies
Their research is not limited to only listed companies. They continuously expand their knowledge and contacts base with many unlisted companies, who are either trading partners or competitors with their listed counterparts.
Their strength lies in their ability to integrate the information which they continuously gather in order to formulate medium to long term investment ideas for the funds. Visio maintain their own financial models on the majority of the listed companies in our investment universe. They update, enhance and tweak those models regularly as they represent the primary tools in their decision making process.
The investment universe spans across industries, market capitalizations and through the use of a number of different investment instruments. Those include not just listed shares, but also listed commodity ETF’s, listed corporate debt issues, index futures and listed options. Portfolio ‘churn’ is low. Significant shareholdings may be accumulated in individual companies or material exposures achieved in certain sectors from time to time. “

Investment philosophy
■ They follow a value biased approach informed by the view that the market is, at times, inefficient over the short term.
■ They believe that the market reflects the intrinsic value of any company over the long term.
■ They believe that value opportunities exist – and identify these through a detailed analysis of each company in terms of its sustainable earnings whilst using inference to determine the level of growth currently reflected in the market price.
The approach followed by the investment team at Vunani Fund Managers is based on understanding the difference between value and price. Price is given by the market, value is determined. The first is easy, the second far more challenging.
Intrinsic value is a function of two inputs. In the first instance Vunani computes what the company’s sustainable earnings has been and compare this to the current market price. They then spend a great deal of time assessing what the growth trajectory of the company is likely to be going forward, and how this
translates into a sustainable delivery of shareholder value. Their primary focus is to buy companies that the market has priced at well below intrinsic value after taking all of the above factors into account.
