SUMMARISED ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

Basis of presentation
The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”), including interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee,
the Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council, the South
African Institute of Chartered Accountants (“SAICA”) Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting
Practices Committee, the provisions of CISCA and JSE listing requirements.

Standards, interpretations and amendments effective 1 July 2020
A number of new and revised standards and interpretations became effective from 1 July 2020, but they had no
material impact on the Portfolio’s reported earnings, financial position, reserves or accounting policies.

Financial instruments: Classification
The Portfolio has classified all its investments as financial assets or financial liabilities at amortised cost or at fair
value through profit or loss (“FVPL”).

Financial assets at amortised cost include other receivables, dividends and interest receivable and cash and cash
equivalents.

Financial assets at FVPL
All financial assets not measured at amortised cost are subsequently measured at FVPL, except for investments
in equities and rights which are mandatorily held at FVPL.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading or designated as at FVPL are measured at amortised cost. This
category includes fees payable and other payables.

Financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value. All balances, except for physical cash which is held at call, included in cash and cash
equivalents have a maturity date of less than three months from the acquisition date and are measured at
amortised cost.

Participatory interest
The participatory interests are issued and redeemed at the holder’s option at prices based on the Portfolio’s net
asset value per participatory interest at the time of issue or redemption. The Portfolio’s net asset value per
participatory interest is calculated by dividing the net assets attributable to the holders of the participatory interest
by the total number of outstanding participatory interests, in accordance with the provisions of the Portfolio’s
supplemental trust deed.

Net assets attributable to participatory interest holders, evidence a residual interest in the assets of a portfolio after
deducting all of its liabilities.

The value of the net assets attributable to participatory interest holders will vary with the changes in the
underlying value of the investments, net of receivables and payables. The total movement in the statement of
comprehensive income is transferred to the net assets attributable to participatory interest holders.

Creations and redemptions are recorded on trade date using the previous day’s closing price.

In accordance with the Portfolio’s supplemental trust deed, the Portfolio distributes its distributable income and any
other amounts determined by the Manager of the Portfolio to participatory interest holders. For this reason, the
participatory interest does not meet the requirements to be classified as equity in terms of IAS 32 and is thus
classified as a liability. Distributions are automatically reinvested in additional participatory interests, other than
distributions that are paid in cash.

Net income adjustment on creation and redemption of units
An adjustment to income arises on the creation and cancellation of units since the price of a unit includes
accrued income and expenses. The income adjustment on creation or cancellation of units is recognised as part
of the creation or redemption of unitholder interests and disclosed within the note of net assets attributable to
participatory interest holders, when units on which it arises are either purchased or sold as these form part of the
cash flow on unit transactions.

Investment income
Fair value gains and losses
Gains and losses arising from a change in the fair value of investments, interest income on interest-bearing
investments and dividend income, are included in the statement of comprehensive income under fair value gains
/ losses in the year in which the changes arise.

Dividend income
Dividend income in respect of investments is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. This is
on the “last-day-to-trade” for listed investments and on the “date-of-declaration” for unlisted investments. Dividend
income is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of fair value gains and losses.

Interest income
Interest income on cash and cash equivalents is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of
interest income on the effective interest method.

Taxation
The Portfolio has no current or deferred tax liability as all realised gains and losses are considered to be of a capital
nature and disregarded in the tax calculation of this Collective Investment Scheme portfolio in accordance with
paragraph 61 of the Eighth schedule to the Income Tax Act No 58 of 1962. All investment income is distributed
within the time frames specified by section 25BA of the Income Tax Act and is therefore taxed in the hands of the
participatory interest holders.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies
No significant accounting estimates and judgements have been applied in the annual financial statements of the
Portfolio.

All investments at FVPL are measured at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets and do not require
the use of judgement or estimates.
