BALLOT VOTING PROCEDURE IN RESPECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE INVESTMENT
POLICY AND THE CONVERSION OF THE REITWAY GLOBAL PROPERTY INCOME PRESCIENT ETF TO A
FULLY DISCLOSED ACTIVELY MANAGED ETF
THIS LETTER IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR ATTENTION
The purpose of this announcement is to inform investors of the proposed changes to the Reitway Global Property
Income Prescient ETF, which include a change in investment strategy from an index-tracking exchange traded fund
to a fully disclosed actively managed ETF, a corresponding change to the fund name, and amendments to the
investment policy. This announcement is intended to provide investors with sufficient information to consider and
vote on these proposed changes.
Rationale for the Conversion of the Reitway Global Property Income Prescient ETF to an Actively Managed
ETF
Reitway Global (Pty) Ltd ("Reitway"), FSP no. 43747, the investment manager of RWINC, is of the opinion that
converting the Reitway Global Property Income Prescient ETF from an index-tracking exchange-traded fund to a fully
disclosed actively managed ETF will enhance the investment proposition for investors while maintaining the structural
advantages associated with exchange-traded funds, including transparency, liquidity, and exchange-based trading.
The proposed change will allow the fund to pursue an actively managed investment strategy while continuing to
provide full portfolio transparency to investors.
Reitway has requested Prescient to ballot investors to obtain approval for the necessary investment policy
amendment and name change. The proposed amendments include the following significant changes:
1. Investment Strategy and Name Change – Changing the investment strategy of RWINC from an index-
tracking ETF to a fully disclosed actively managed ETF. This change will in turn require the portfolio name to
end with "Actively Managed ETF" in accordance with the JSE Debt and Specialist Securities Listings
Requirements (DSS), which stipulate that all actively managed ETFs must include this wording.
2. Investment Policy Amendment – Amending the investment policy of RWINC to reflect the new actively
managed investment strategy, including the objectives, investment approach, risk management
considerations, and portfolio disclosure requirements.
The table below lists the current investment policy, as well as the proposed changes to the investment policy.
Please read carefully.
