Member Investment Choice Framework

Considerations for Members Investment horizon - i.e. duration of membership of the Fund Retirement age Contributions Investment returns Savings outside of the Fund Tolerance for investment risk Ability and / or willingness to make one’s own investment decisions / choice Post – retirement investment strategy

LifeStage Model – Default / Trustee Choice Based on the assumption that younger members can accept more risk due to their long investment time horizon As a member ages, his/her risk is reduced by reducing their equity exposure Portfolio suitable for members who do not wish to make their own investment choice Trustees responsible for selecting and monitoring the investment managers and portfolios, as well as the structure of the Lifestage model Default portfolio is the Lifestage Portfolio – represents Trustees’ best investment view Portfolio restructuring in terms of member’s age takes place automatically on an annual basis Alignment with post – retirement investment strategy

Risk-Return Profile Expected Return Expected Risk Wealth Creation Shari’ah Compliant Expected Return Wealth Preservation Capital Protection Capital Guarantee Money Market Expected Risk

LifeStage Model - Current In 2017, the Board of Trustees have approved changes to the current investment choice framework

Annuity Targeting Portfolios - Considerations A member’s retirement investment horizon does not end at age 65, but will continue into retirement as long as they receive a monthly pension Therefore, it is important to also match a member’s pre-retirement investment strategy to what a member plans to do with their benefit after retirement Members in a retirement fund can and do have very different needs, both before AND after retiring, therefore a member choice framework must take cognizance of this fact In summary, members can make the following decisions at the point of retirement: Invest in a living annuity with a high allocation to equities Invest in a living annuity with a low- to- medium allocation to equities Take their retirement benefit in cash (in whole or in part, depending on the value) Invest in a life, with-profit or inflation-linked annuity

Annuity Targeting Portfolios - Changes The following additional portfolio channels will be made available as member-choice options: High-equity living Annuity Members will remain invested in the Wealth Creation Portfolio Cash (At Retirement) Members will transition into the Money Market Portfolio Capital Guarantee Members will transition into the Capital Guarantee Portfolio Life, With-Profit & Inflation-linked Annuity Members will transition into a new portfolio option called the Protector Portfolio 5. The Life-stage Portfolio will remain the default portfolio, and is best suited for a member who wishes to purchase a low equity living annuity at retirement

Life, with-profit and inflation-linked annuities - Protector Portfolio For members in the pre-retirement phase who will be purchasing a life, with-profit or inflation-linked annuity at the point of retirement, the Protector Portfolio has been added. It has three integrated objectives: Protect the expected income replacement value of a member’s accumulated retirement savings for retirement Protect the capital value of a member’s retirement savings over 24 month periods Maximise real returns (returns less consumer inflation) whilst achieving objectives 1 and 2

Annuity Targeting Channels In Summary, the available channels to members are: It is important to note that in each year where phasing down from one portfolio to another takes place, this will take place quarterly, i.e. there will be 4 phasing events that take place in each year Currently this takes place once per year The implementation date for the Annuity channels is 1 April 2018

Member Advice Framework The Trustees have put the following measures in place in order to ensure that members receive appropriate financial advice: 7 years prior to retirement Retirement planning workshop Members able to make a one-on-one appointment with a certified financial planner, to discuss their specific circumstances 5 years prior to retirement Second retirement planning workshop – option to elect pre-retirement portfolio A certified financial planner will continue to visit each of the University’s campuses on a monthly basis, to meet with members on a one-on-one basis. Members are required to make an appointment in this regard

Member Choice Portfolios

Portfolio Options Life Stage Model (Default) Wealth Creation Phase-down Portfolios 1 – 4 Capital Protection (implicit capital preservation) Capital Guarantee Portfolio (explicit capital protection) Money Market Portfolio Shari’ah compliant portfolio Protector portfolio Life Stage Channels High Equity Channel Low-Medium Equity Channel Life Annuity Targeting Channel Cash Channel Capital Protection Channel

Wealth Creation Balanced portfolio with flexible asset allocation Aims to achieve inflation + 6% in the long-term Potentially higher risk as equity exposure can range from 45% to 75% Ideal for members with long-term investment horizon

Wealth Preservation (Phase-down 3 Portfolio) Combination of positive-return portfolio (60%) with exposure to higher risk balanced portfolio (40%) Aims to achieve inflation + 4.5% in the medium to long-term Aims to preserve wealth in real terms while maintaining exposure to growth assets Lower equity exposure and risk than Wealth Creation

Capital Protection Aims to minimize the risk of negative returns over the short-term A positive-return portfolio with no explicit guarantees provided Aims to achieve inflation + 4% over 3 years More “aggressive” portfolios should outperform this portfolio over long-term

Money Market 100% money market instruments Lowest risk profile Suitable for investors who have a low appetite for risk and investors with short-term investment horizons Least likely portfolio to outperform inflation in the long-term

Capital Guarantee Portfolio Smooth-bonus portfolio (underlying assets are diversified with exposure to all asset classes) Objective to achieve inflation + 3.5% over longer term Fixed guarantee on capital, contributions and declared positive investment returns (on benefit payments and other specified events) Returns declared monthly in advance, once declared cannot be taken away Switch at book value (limited to 10% of assets) Suitable for risk-averse investors (close to retirement and who wish to avoid volatility of full market-linked investments)

Shari’ah Portfolio A Shari’ah Compliant Portfolio that is also compliant with Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act Balanced Fund with exposure to equity, Islamic bonds (Sukuks) and a small allocation to cash Equity exposure may be as high as 65% of the portfolio Aims to give investment returns comparable to a traditional balanced portfolio

Protector Portfolio Multi-asset specialist portfolio, with a higher allocation to fixed income investments (government nominal bonds, inflation-linked bonds and property) Protect the expected income replacement value of a member’s accumulated retirement savings for retirement Protect the capital value of a member’s retirement savings over 24 month periods Maximise real returns (returns less consumer inflation) whilst achieving objectives 1 and 2
