The fund is registered as a Retail Investor Hedge Fund and is suitable for investors looking to capture upside in the equity markets while preserving capital on the downside. It aims to capture 2/3 of the upside and only 1/3 of the downside.

Laurium Aggressive Long Short Prescient QI Fund
The fund is a more aggressive version of our Laurium Long Short Prescient RI Fund. The fund is registered as a Qualified Investor Hedge Fund and is suitable for investors looking to leverage the SA equity market’s performance.

Laurium Enhanced Growth Prescient RI Hedge Feeder RI Fund
The Enhanced Growth Prescient RI Hedge Feeder Fund is a new long-bias long/short fund which has an unconstrained mandate, investing primarily in listed South African equities but may take positions in other equitylike instruments and asset classes, and invest in selected foreign holdings. The fund is suitable for investors with a long-term investment horizon seeking long-term capital growth, and that can withstand equity-like volatility.

International accessibility
The Enhanced Growth Prescient RI Hedge Feeder Fund feeds into an Irish-domiciled, US dollar denominated, UCITS fund. Thus, investors can access the alpha opportunities existing in South Africa and select other markets, without having to take ZAR exposure. The fund is Section 65
Approved under the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act (No. 45 of 2002) for South African investors.
