Contrarius ICAV

Collective Investment Schemes (“CIS”) are generally medium- to long-term investments. The value of units may go down as well as up and past performance is not necessarily a reliable indicator of future performance. Movements in exchange rates may also cause the value of underlying international investments to go up or down. It is therefore important to understand the risks involved before investing. Contrarius provides no guarantee with respect to capital or the Funds returns. It is therefore important to understand the risks involved before investing. The Funds are priced daily. Funds may be closed to new investments at any time in order for them to be managed according to their mandates. CIS are traded at ruling prices and can engage in borrowing and scrip lending. Commissions and incentives may be paid by investors to third parties and, if so, would be included in the overall cost. A schedule of fees, charges and maximum commissions is available on request, at no charge, from Contrarius. The Funds may invest in foreign securities. Depending on their markets, trading in those securities may carry risks relating to, among others, macroeconomic and political circumstances, constraints on liquidity or the repatriation of funds, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, taxation and trade settlement.
