    DisclaimerPrudential Portfolio Managers Unit Trusts Ltd (Registration number: 1999/0524/06) is an approved CISCA management company (#29). Assets are managed by Prudential Investment Managers (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd, which is an approved discretionary Financial Services Provider (#45199). Collective Investment Schemes (unit trusts) are generally medium to long-term investments. The value of participatory interest (units) may go down as well as up. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to the future. Unit trust prices are calculated on a net asset value basis, which for money market funds is the total book value of all assets in the portfolio divided by the number of units in issue. Fluctuations or movements in exchange rates may also be the cause of the value of underlying international investments going up or down. Unit trusts are traded at ruling prices. Commissions and incentives may be paid and if so, would be included in the overall costs. Different classes of units apply to the Prudential Collective Investment Scheme Funds and are subject to different fees and charges. A detailed schedule of fees and charges and maximum commissions is available on request from the company. Forward pricing is used. All of the unit trusts may be capped at any time in order for them to be managed in accordance with their mandates. Performance figures are sourced from Morningstar and are based on lump sum investments using NAV prices with gross income reinvested. Purchase and repurchase requests must be received by the Manager by 13h30 (11h30 for Money Market and 10h30 for Dividend Income Funds) SA time each business day. All online purchase and repurchase transactions must be received by the Manager by 10h30 (for all Funds) SA time each business day. General market performance data may have been provided for illustrative and explanatory purposes. This information is not intended to constitute the basis for any specific investment decision. Investors are advised to familiarize themselves with the unique risks pertaining to their investment choices and should seek the advice of a properly qualified financial consultant or adviser before investing.

    Glossary

    12-month yield A measure of the Fund's income distributions as a percentage of the Fund's net asset value (NAV). This is calculated by summing the income distributions over a rolling 12-month period, then dividing by the sum of the NAV at the end of the period and any capital gains distributed over the same period.

    Cumulative performance graph

    This illustrates how an initial investment of R100 or N$100 (for example) placed into the Fund would change over time.

    Fund's monthly asset class returns

    The percentage return that each asset class the Fund is invested in, has contributed to the overall return of the Fund.

    Income distribution The dividend income and/or interest income that is generated by the underlying Fund investments and that is periodically declared and distributed to investors in the Fund after all annual service fees.

    Information ratio Measures the Funds active return (Fund return in excess of the benchmark) divided by the amount of risk that the manager takes relative to the benchmark. The higher the information ratio, the higher the active return of the Fund, given the amount of risk taken and the more consistent the manager. This is calculated over a 3-year period.

    Intended maximum limits This indicates the Funds intended maximum exposure to an asset class. These limits may be reviewed subject to the Funds Supplemental Deed and/or Regulation 28 for those Funds managed in accordance with Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act.

    Maximum drawdown over any period

    The largest drop in the Funds cumulative total return from peak to trough over any period.

    Monthly volatility (annualised)

    Also known as standard deviation. This measures the amount of variation or difference in the monthly returns on an investment. The larger the annualised monthly volatility, the more the monthly returns are likely to vary from the average monthly return (i.e. the more volatile the investment).

    Percentage of positive rolling 12 months

    The percentage of months, since inception, that the Fund has shown a positive return over a rolling 12-month period.

    Regulation 28 The South African retirement fund industry is governed by the Pension Funds Act, No 24 of 1956. Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act prescribes the maximum limits in asset classes that an approved retirement fund may invest in.

    Sharpe ratio The Sharpe ratio is used to measure how well the return of an asset compensates the investor for the risk taken. The higher the Sharpe ratio the better the Funds historical risk-adjusted performance has been. This is calculated by taking the difference between the Funds annualised return and the risk-free (cash) rate, divided by the standard deviation of the Funds returns. This is calculated over a 3-year period.

    Sortino ratio This is calculated by taking difference between the Funds annualised return and the risk-free (cash) rate, divided by the downside deviation of the Funds returns i.e. the bad volatility. A high Sortino ratio indicates a low risk of large losses occurring in the Fund. This is calculated over a 3-year period.

    Total Expense Ratio (TER) This shows the charges, levies and fees relating to the management of the portfolio and is expressed as a percentage of the average net asset value of the portfolio, calculated for the year to the end of the most recent completed quarter. A higher TER does not necessarily imply a poor return, nor does a low TER imply a good return. The current TER cannot be regarded as an indication of future TERs.

    Unit class Prudentials Funds are offered in different unit classes to allow different types of investors (individuals and institutions) to invest in the same fund. Different investment minimums and fees apply to different unit classes.A Class: for individuals only.B Class: retirement funds and other large institutional investors only.D Class: retirement funds and other large institutional investors only.X Class: the special fee class that was made available to investors that were invested in the Dividend Income Feeder Fund on the date that the Fund was closed on 1 April 2012 .
