Sanlam is a leading financial services group, originally established as a life insurance company in 1918. It was

demutualized and listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 1998. Headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, it

has offices throughout South Africa and business interests elsewhere in Africa, Europe, India, USA and Australia

employing more than 17,000 staff.

Sanlam provides financial solutions to individual and institutional clients. These solutions include investments, asset

management, stockbroking, capital market activities and traditional life and general insurance. These solutions are

provided to various segments of the markets and offer the solutions from a number of mutually dependent business

entities in the Group.

From a life insurance company established in 1918, Sanlam has, in short, grown into a diversified one-stop financial

services group, offering clients a journey for life for their financial needs.

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.

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:

The Smooth Portfolios are constructed by combining growth assets (a mix of the SMR Fund and the underlying funds of the MPS Balanced Portfolio) and a defensive asset (a short duration fixed income fund). A risk management strategy is applied to decide the allocation between the two types of assets.
