4.2 When investing in foreign investment products it is important to be aware of the following risks:

4.2.1 Getting access to investment performance information may be more difficult than

South African based investments.

4.2.2 Investments are exposed to different tax regimes that may change without warning

and it may influence investment returns.

4.2.3 Exchange control measures may change in the country of investment and it may

influence accessibility to the invested capital.

4.2.4 The value of the Rand has deteriorated over the last number of years. However it is

important to understand that should the Rand exchange rate strengthen against

the exchange rate of the foreign currency (ies) in which the Client’s money is

invested, it may create a loss of capital or reduced returns when the money is

returned to South Africa in Rand.

4.3 Reitway may invest in wrap funds on behalf of the client in terms of this mandate and is thus required by the FSB to make certain disclosures regarding wrap funds and how they differ from fund of funds.

4.3.1 A fund of funds is a collective investment scheme fund that is not allowed to invest

more than 50% of the value of the fund in any one collective investment scheme

fund. The Collective Investment Scheme Act guarantees the repurchase of

participatory interests in a fund of funds by the management company.

4.3.2 A wrap fund is a basket of different collective investment schemes wrapped as a

single investment portfolio. The underlying combination of collective investment

schemes is selected to optimally target the risk/return requirements and

investment objectives of the client. In fact it's a number of separate investments

in which the investor has direct ownership and could be better described as an

account. These underlying investments are selected in line with the investment

requirements of the client. There's no joint ownership among investors and

individual ownership of the participatory interests in the collective investment

schemes can be transparently demonstrated at all times. A wrap fund investment

is administered and facilitated by a linked investment service provider (LISP) i.e.

an Administrative FSP. A wrap fund has no limit concerning the collective

investment schemes that that it may include in its portfolio. The Administrative

FSP of the wrap funds does not guarantee the repurchase of participatory interests

in the collective investment schemes that comprise the wrap funds. The

Administrative FSP has service level agreements in place with the management

company of each collective investment scheme according to which the repurchase

of participatory interests in collective investment schemes comprising wrap funds

are guaranteed. The costs and other information applicable to wrap funds are set

out in the documentation of the administrator of the wrap funds.
