Feeder Fund Overview

Investment objective

The BCI Contrarius Global Equity Feeder Fund ("Feeder Fund") aims to earn a higher total rate of return than the average of the world's equity markets, as represented by the MSCI World Index, including reinvestment of dividends net of withholding tax. It aims to achieve this without greater risk of loss, over the long-term.

Feeder Fund description and summary of investment policy

The Feeder Fund is a South African domiciled unit trust, which, apart from assets in liquid form, invests solely in Fixed Fee Class shares of Contrarius Global Equity Fund, a sub-fund of Contrarius ICAV, domiciled in Ireland.

Contrarius Global Equity Fund is an actively managed fund that aims to be substantially invested in selected global equities and equity related securities at all times and thus be exposed to all the risks and rewards of the global equities selected in the portfolio. These equities are selected using proprietary investment research and by applying Contrarius' long-term, contrarian, valuation-based investment philosophy. The Contrarius Global Equity Fund does not seek to replicate the benchmark and its equity holdings may differ materially from the benchmark in order to achieve its objective.

The Feeder Fund is suitable for investors who:

  • seek to invest offshore in rands
  • seek exposure to a portfolio that is substantially fully invested in, and exposed to, global stocks at all times and who therefore accept exposure to movements in world markets.
  • are prepared to take on a high level of risk of loss to their original capital in order to seek a higher potential return.
  • have a long term investment horizon
