Ai Investment Engine: An investment engine built to predict and pro-actively adapt to changing markets.

Annualised Total Returns: Annualised return is the weighted average compound growth rate over the period measured.

Annualised Return: This is the weighted average compound growth rate over the period measured.

Asset Allocation: This is how money invested is divided among different asset classes and investment types, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities, alternatives, and cash.

Average Volatility: Measures how much a fund´s total returns have fluctuated in the past, the more a fund´s return fluctuates, the riskier the fund is likely to be.

Capital Growth: Capital growth is the profit made on an investment, measured by the increase in its market value over the invested amount or cost price. It is also called capital appreciation.

Collective Investment Scheme (CIS): Collective investment schemes (also called unit trusts) are portfolios of assets such as equities, bonds, cash and listed property, in which investors can buy units. They allow private investors to pool their money together into a single fund, thus spreading their risk across a range of investments, getting the benefit of professional fund management, and reducing their costs.

Correlation: This value reflects the correlation between the returns of two instruments, the Fund's return compared to the calculation benchmark's return. A value of 1 indicates a perfect positive dependency and –1 indicates a perfect negative dependency between the two instruments.

Cumulative Return: This is the aggregate return of the portfolio for a specific period.

Derivatives: Derivatives are instruments generally used as an instrument to protect against risk (capital losses). Examples are futures, options and swaps.

Equities: An equity or share represents an institution/individual’s ownership in a listed company and is the vehicle through which they can “share” in the profits made by that company. As the company grows, and the expectation of improved profits increases, the market price of the share will increase, and this translates into a capital gain for the shareholder. Similarly, negative sentiment about the company will result in the share price falling. Shares/equities are usually considered to have the potential for the highest return of all the investment classes, but with a higher level of risk i.e. share investments have the most volatile returns over the short term. An investment in this type of asset should be viewed with a 7 to 10-year horizon.

Maximum Drawdown: A portfolio’s maximum loss in a peak-to-trough decline before a new peak is attained. Max Drawdown It is usually quoted as the percentage between the peak and the trough. It is an indicator of downside risk over a specified time period.

Maximum Drawdown Period: The number of periods (months) in a peak to trough (valley) decline that encompass the maximum drawdown for an investment.

Maximum Drawdown Recovery Period: The number of periods (months) of the trough (valley) to peak incline that encompass the maximum drawdown recovery for an investment.

Multi-asset Class Funds: Multi-asset class funds invest in a combination of asset classes (such as cash equities, property or bonds). This increases the diversification of an overall portfolio and reduces risk (volatility) compared to holding one class of assets only.

Passive Investment Vehicle (e.g. index tracker): A style of investing where a fund’s portfolio mirrors or replicates a particular market index by investing in all of the underlying funds within that index. Passive investing is the opposite of active investing in which a fund’s manager attempts to beat the market with various investing strategies. Also known as “passive investing” or “index investing.”

Return/Volatility: Indicates the amount of return an investment produces per unit of risk. When comparing this measure between two investments, the one with the higher ratio is generally superior from a return and risk perspective.

Standard Deviation: This statistical measurement of dispersion about an average, depicts how widely a mutual fund's returns varied over a certain period of time. When a fund has a high standard deviation, the predicted range of performance is wide, implying greater volatility.

Sharpe Ratio: The Sharpe ratio is a risk-adjusted measure that calculates the mean of a fund’s returns over that of the risk-free rate. The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the better a fund’s historical risk-adjusted performance.

Sortino Ratio: The Sortino ratio measures the risk-adjusted return of an investment asset, portfolio, or strategy. The Sortino Ratio is similar to the Sharpe Ratio, but unlike the Sharpe Ratio, the Sortino Ratio differentiates harmful volatility from total overall volatility by using downside risk.

Total Expense Ratio (TER): This is the total costs associated with managing and operating an investment (excluding administration, financial planning and servicing fees). These costs consist primarily of management fees and additional expenses such as trading fees, legal fees, auditor fees and other operational expenses. The total cost of the fund is divided by the fund’s total assets under management to arrive at a percentage amount, which represents the TER.

Financial Account: A Financial Account is an account maintained by a Financial Institution and includes: Depository Accounts; Custodial Accounts; Equity and debt interest in certain Investment Entities; Cash Value Insurance Contracts and Annuity Contracts.

Plan holder: The term ‘Plan holder’ means the person listed or identified as the holder of a Financial Account.

With respect to a jointly held account, each joint holder is treated as a Plan holder.

A TIN is a unique combination of letters or numbers assigned by a jurisdiction to an individual or an Entity and used to identify the individual or Entity for the purposes of administering the tax laws of such jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions do not issue a TIN. However, these jurisdictions often utilise some other high integrity number with an equivalent level of identification (a ‘functional equivalent’).
