Estate planning

It is important to know that future

generations will be provided for

with the wealth you have

accumulated. Offshore investing

via a trust structure allows the

beneficiaries designated by you to

receive your assets without going

through a possibly lengthy and

expensive probate.

Trust Participation

Investments are held by a sub-trust formed in

Bermuda on behalf of each investor, which

ensures that all investments will be safeguarded

and governed by applicable Bermuda law.

Each sub-trust is a separate legal entity, and as

such, its assets are effectively insulated from

the general creditors of the trustee or other

sub-trusts.

Beneficial transfer of assets

As investments are held by a trust through a trustee, confidentiality is protected, while

the power to designate a beneficiary remains in the hands of the plan holder.

Asset protection

Assets in the plan are linked to a segregated account. The ability to maintain assets in

a segregated account can be a very valuable tool as it insulates the assets from

creditors of the company and other segregated accounts.

Stability

It is important to know that investments in the Plan are held

in sub-trusts governed by the laws of Bermuda, a politically

stable jurisdiction recognized as a premier blue-chip

international business center.

The Bermudian trust and financial services industry goes

back almost one hundred years. Their deep and wide

experience helps investors from around the world.

The business environment is particularly well-attuned to the

finance sector as a result of the island’s long-term policy of

promoting itself as an international financial centre,

accompanied by a well-developed regulatory structure,

including the Bermuda Monetary Authority (the regulator of

Bermuda's financial services sector).

Bermuda has followed Western European standards In

terms of its business and communications infrastructure.

The financial security and political and economic stability of

Bermuda, allows investors the opportunity to diversify the

location of their assets in times of economic and

geopolitical risk.

the Plan also provides

some exceptional features

investment options to enable clients to

passive funds from some of the world’s

leading asset managers, or the choice of

aforementioned funds. In addition to these

Managed Risk (SMR) is a solution designed

to help manage that risk of investing in the

global markets.

The Fund provides access to global markets in the

simple and cost effective UCITS IV fund structure with

SMR built in.

The objective of the Fund is to provide long term

capital growth through exposure to global markets.

The fund also utilizes a risk management strategy

designed to reduce volatility and minimize losses in

declining markets.

SMR FundThe Fund invests in equities of global markets

including: the United States, Canada, United Kingdom,

Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,

Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway,

Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Japan and the

Pacific ex. Japan region.

Currencies:

USD, GBP

SMR FundWe understand it is important for clients to have a clear understanding of the amount their investment

is at risk of losing and for them to have the comfort that there is a systematic process in place that aims

to prevent further major losses.

With that in mind, the Sanlam Smooth Portfolios were created to provide clients with global equity

exposure with 2 risk management strategies built in.

1. Floors – aims to prevent the Portfolio’s value from declining past predetermined levels

2. SMR – aims to reduce volatility and the impact of significant and sustained market declines

The differentiation in the Portfolios is based on “Floors”.

Two Risk Management Strategies CombinedWhat this means is that in declining markets clients will benefit from 2 risk management strategies – to

defend their investment – that can reduce equity exposure to below 10%, while in rising markets the

Portfolios can be up to around 95% exposed to equities.

SMR Select allows you to choose from a wide array

of funds from some of the world’s leading asset

managers to provide equity exposure with an SMR

overlay.

Clean share class funds

Funds in the SMR Select option are “clean share

class” funds (i.e., no trail fee), typically resulting in

a lower annual management charge (AMC) than

other share classes.

It’s not a word you’ll find in any dictionary; it’s a simple description of

what we do and what we believe in.

It’s an attitude. An ethos.

An understanding that nothing worthwhile can ever be hurried.

It’s a promise that we’ll never be afraid of good old fashioned hard

work; that there are no short cuts that don’t cut you short and that

when there is work to be done it’s worth doing very, very well.

And whilst we want to do well we also want to do good, because how

much money we make will never be the sole measure of our success.

It’s diligently focusing on our own trade, which is turning clients’

money into meaning.

Whether it’s a lot or very little; to make it work and make it work hard

so that it can be transformed into something more.

And we do it with great pride.

This is what makes us

Our work is never done.
