GRYPHON’S FUNDS

Gryphon Flexible Fund

FUND PROFILE

The primary objective of the fund is to generate real (after inflation) wealth for investors at lowest possible cost, with due cognizance of risk and, in particular, secular downside risk.

This is achieved by consistently producing real returns and long-term capital growth through maximum exposure to equities (the asset class of choice over the long-term to protect investors against inflation) during bull markets, while minimising exposure to equities in secular bear markets.

​

  • Investors who have a medium- to long-term investment horizon and require returns in excess of inflation
  • Investors lacking the time, infrastructure or resources and/or investment sophistication to select and subsequently monitor the performance of the various asset classes and/or individual stocks and/or individual manager selection
  • Investors cognizant of the effects of costs on their returns
  • Investors of all ages as it maximises return per unit of risk throughout their various life stages
  • Investors seeking style diversification – the unique way in which the fund is managed, differs significantly from its peers

  • Premised on the philosophy that most value is added by asset allocation as opposed to stock selection
  • Stock selection is indexed, and asset allocation is actively and aggressively managed
  • Coupled with a low-cost focus, this fund aims to achieve superior investment returns through the utilisation of indexed building blocks
  • The fund invests in a combination of Gryphon’s All-Share Tracker Fund, Money Market Fund, Global Equity Fund as well as offshore cash and bond/property indexed products
  • Funds are allocated based on proprietary quantitative indicators that predict the primary bull/bear market cycles in equities and the South African Rand
  • Short-term volatility and secondary market cycles are generally disregarded as they are less predictable, being driven mainly by emotion (fear and greed); their effect on returns is relatively short-lived
  • The fund can invest up to 100% in equities
  • Maximum foreign exposure limits as permitted by prevailing legislation (currently 45%)
  • Multi-asset funds are inclined to be more tax efficient

Why invest?

Rainy days, exotic holidays, fancy cars, fairy-tale weddings – for most of us, these things are not going to happen unless we make it happen. To do any of this, we need to have money saved to pay for it – debt quickly turns into a dream-stealer we need to avoid.

Different types of funds

  • Cash funds give you the most predictable return,
    but probably won’t surprise you on the upside.
  • Multi asset funds move your assets between classes
    on your behalf – much like a shock absorber.
  • Index trackers follow the markets, they’re cheap
    as chips and can be just as satisfying.

Which fund?

Asking the right questions

Understanding how comfortable you are with risk can lead you in the right direction.

Ask yourself:

  • How long can I leave the money without touching it?
  • How much can I afford to save every month?
  • Could I add lump sums now and again?
  • How twitchy will I get if my value goes down?
What are my options?
