It’s not a word you’ll find in any dictionary; it’s a simple description of what we do and what we believe in.
It’s an attitude. An ethos.
An understanding that nothing worthwhile can ever be hurried.
It’s a promise that we’ll never be afraid of good old fashioned hard work; that there are no short cuts that don’t cut you short and that when there is work to be done it’s
worth doing very, very well.
And whilst we want to do well we also want to do good, because how much money we make will never be the sole measure of our success.
It’s diligently focusing on our own trade, which is turning clients’ money into meaning.
Whether it’s a lot or very little; to make it work and make it work hard so that it can be transformed into something more.
And we do it with great pride.
This is what makes us
Our work is never done.

There are of course risks to investing in the global
markets, but this plan offers multiple investments options
including a solution designed to help manage that risk.
benefits ofoffshoreinvesting
investing away from your
own country of residence
can have significant benefits,
with many people
choosing Bermuda
Estate planning It is important to know that future generations will be
provided for with the wealth you have accumulated.
Offshore investing via a trust structure allows the
beneficiaries designated by you to receive your assets
without going through a possibly lengthy and expensive
probate.
Stability
It is important to know that investments
in the Plan are held in sub-trusts
governed by the laws of Bermuda, a
politically stable jurisdiction recognized
as a premier blue-chip international
business center.
The Bermudian trust and financial
services industry goes back almost one
hundred years. Their deep and wide
experience helps investors from around
the world.
The business environment is particularly
well-attuned to the finance sector as a
result of the island’s long-term policy of
promoting itself as an international
financial centre, accompanied by a
well-developed regulatory structure,
including the Bermuda Monetary
Authority (the regulator of Bermuda's
financial services sector).
Bermuda has followed Western European
standards In terms of its business and
communications infrastructure.
The financial security and political and
economic stability of Bermuda, allows
investors the opportunity to diversify the
location of their assets in times of
economic and geopolitical risk.
Trust participation Investments are held by a sub-trust formed in Bermuda
on behalf of each investor, which ensures that all
investments will be safeguarded and governed by
applicable Bermuda law.
Each sub-trust is a separate legal entity, and as such, its
assets are effectively insulated from the general
creditors of the trustee or other sub-trusts.
Beneficial transfer of assetsAs investments are held by a trust through a trustee,
confidentiality is protected, while the power to designate
a beneficiary remains in the hands of the plan holder.
Asset protectionAssets in the plan are linked to a segregated account. The
ability to maintain assets in a segregated account can be
a very valuable tool as it insulates the assets from
creditors of the company and other segregated accounts.
Alternative investment currenciesProvides investment in multiple alternative currencies –
US$, GBP & Euros – away from a client’s country of
origin.
Diversify the location of assets
Allows investment in Bermuda; away from the country of
origin in case of potential economic and geopolitical
concerns.

The primary risk management strategy for the Smooth Portfolios analyzes the overall Portfolio and makes
asset allocation modifications based on a long-term, option based capital protection model. The capital
protection model dictates when the Smooth Portfolios move more into defensive or growth assets.
The Smooth Portfolio - Preserver will generally move into defensive assets faster and stay in for longer than
the Accumulator Portfolio due to the defensive nature of the Portfolio.
Asset allocations above are illustrative and represent the average over the long-term. The Smooth Portfolios will be rebalanced on a quarterly basis and allocations may change.
The Sanlam Smooth Portfolios provide investors with global market exposure through 2 risk profiles:
