Investment Committee determines domestic & offshore Buy List by means of majority vote

Fund managers can exercise own discretion, but use the Buy Lists as their main tool for portfolio construction. Fund managers take responsibility for their fund’s performance

Management example: Berkshire

Long term value created for shareholders:• SP: +21% p.a.• NAV: +20% p.a.

$1,000 invested in 1965 is worth more than $8m today

The yield-table has turned since 2009

March 2009 Financial & Industrial Stocks 12.0% 151% Cash 9.5% 25% Property 9.0% 106% 10 yr Government Bonds 8.3% 45%     

  Current Yield  

10 yr Government Bonds 7.0%   Property 6.2%   Financial & Industrial Stocks 5.7%   Cash 5.0%       

Stocks and Property had significant tailwinds from falling interest rates

This tailwind has largely disappeared

43 CONSISTENT CONSERVATIVE CONTRARIAN

Fixed Income

Take-Aways

1. In an ultra-low interest-rate environment, real returns need to be found somewhere

2. Investors are fleeing cash and need a home

3. Investors are focussing on return, and largely ignoring risk

4. Balanced Funds are currently the most desired

5. Balanced funds: offer diversification and flexibility

6. PSG Have a proven team and track-record of delivery

1. Portfolio construction is a process

2. We approach portfolio construction from a bottom-up basis, focussing on relative valuations

3. A margin of safety is currently paramount (risk over return)

4. If you are only choosing SA Co’s, you are restricting yourself to “the best of a bad bunch”

5. The tailwinds of 2009 are gone

6. Partner with an experienced balanced team

Pick PSG!

47 CONSISTENT CONSERVATIVE CONTRARIAN

What you can expect from PSG

Outstanding long-term performance
