STANLIB Absolute Plus Fund performance explained

In this podcast, Marius Oberholzer, Head of STANLIB’s Multi-Asset team, discusses the performance of the Absolute Plus Fund over the last quarter. This fund seeks to generate a return of CPI+4% net of fees and protect capital over a 12-month period. While its recent quarterly return shows the effects of a too-early move into global bonds and equity, the managers are focused on a 3-5 year investment horizon. It is worth reminding investors that this fund outperforms its peer group over a rolling three-year period 80% of the time.

STANLIB is an authorized financial services provider in terms of FAIS and a registered Manager in terms of CISCA.
