    1. Performance calculations and charts are formulated for portfolios constructed using exchange traded funds (‘ETFs’).
    2. Calculations and performance charts have been prepared as follows –

      2. All income from investments and lump sum withdrawals at retirement are assumed to be re-invested in the portfolio.
      3. Capital gains, dividends and interest income are not taxed within a retirement annuity fund or a living annuity portfolio.
      4. Where applicable, tax on capital gains, dividends and interest income within an ETF portfolio (non-retirement taxable portfolio) are assumed to be deducted from the portfolios using a marginal tax rate of 30% and a dividend tax rate of 20%.
      5. Actual tax paid by an investor will depend on their individual circumstances and will be different from what is assumed in the projections.
      6. It is assumed that at retirement, all investments not already in a retirement annuity fund will be transferred to a retirement annuity fund shortly before retirement and be used to purchase a living annuity.
      7. For projection purposes, withdrawals from a living annuity are not limited to the regulatory maximum of 17.5% of the portfolio value, instead withdrawals are assumed to continue at the selected level until the portfolio value reaches zero.

In reality the withdrawals will be limited to the statutory maximum percentage of the portfolio value.

      3. The projections are based on the given investment amounts. If actual investment amounts are different, the projections will be different.
      4. Our risk chart and estimates of potential return range, are based on historic data and use confidence intervals. Actual volatility or range of returns will depend on market conditions.
      5. SWIP does not guarantee performance.
      6. Life expectancy is set to the 75th percentile of standard annuitant mortality tables. This translates into a one in four chance that the investor will live longer than the stated estimate.

Furthermore, Sasfin shall not vote at a shareholders’ meeting or such other meetings in respect of voting shares forming part of your portfolio and you shall be obliged to independently exercise
        such rights.
      2. If you are a full discretion client, Sasfin shall exercise a discretion on all matters relating to Corporate Action events which require an election to be made on securities forming part of your portfolio. Furthermore, Sasfin shall vote at a shareholders’ meeting or such other meetings in respect of voting shares forming part of your portfolio.
      3. You shall notify Sasfin if you wish to receive company reports, proxy forms, notices, circulars, listing particulars and any other issuer communications in respect of equity securities.
    4. Physical Scrip Unless otherwise advised by you to us in Writing:
      1. You warrant that all such Investments as you may deliver or cause to delivered to us in terms of this Mandate are not subject to any lien or charge and that they shall remain free of any such lien or charge while they are held by us in safe custody;
      2. All Investments other than funds in the form of cash and bearer instruments managed by us in terms of this Mandate shall be registered in your name or the name of Stockshare Nominees Proprietary Limited as nominee on your behalf and for your benefit, unless they are bearer instruments and are thus not capable of being so registered; and
      3. All such Investments shall be held by us in safe custody (in fungible consolidated share certificate form if appropriate) on your behalf subject to the applicable legislation and, in particular, the JSE Equities Rules.
    5. Strate Approved Securities
      1. Your Investments will be registered in the name of Stockshare Nominees Proprietary Limited, reflected as an electronic entry in a central securities depository participant subject to the Relevant Law (particularly s22(1) of the Financial Markets Act) and any other relevant legislation and the JSE Equities Rules.
      2. If you are not an account holder in such depository or registry, we shall be entitled to create an electronic entry in respect of the Investments in the depository or registry through a participant of our choice.
      3. Notwithstanding anything contained in 3.5.2, unless you notify us to the contrary, any such Investments shall be held to your order via the participant’s nominee or our nominee.
      4. You authorise us to hold any such Investments and to move such Investments from one electronic entry to another or withdraw any such Investment from safe custody for the purposes only of:
        1. Transferring the Investments to you at any time or upon termination of this Mandate. In such event, the Investments will be transferred to the central securities depository participant or custody services provider as per your Written notification;
        2. Dealing with the Investments as may actually be required in fulfilling this Mandate;
        3. Lodging the Investments on your behalf with any person or entity in terms of an order of court or a special resolution of the issuer of the Investments; and
        4. Any other lawful purpose in terms of this Mandate. It is specifically recorded that unless specifically authorised by you in this Mandate, we may not exercise the rights attaching to any Investments for our own purpose or interest but may only act in accordance with your instructions.
      5. You acknowledge that you:
        1. Have received all the relevant risk disclosure statements (where applicable) and have read and understood their contents; and
        2. Are aware of your settlement obligations which are available on the JSE website (www.jse.co.za) or on request from Sasfin.
    6. Funds and outstanding amounts owing to Sasfin
      1. You direct us to pay all funds including interest, dividends, proceeds of disposal and funds, received by us for your account arising from the management of your Investments in terms of this Mandate in accordance with the Funds Deposits Schedule contained in Part One.
      2. Where this Mandate is terminated, or where you have instructed us by notice in Writing to realise and repay to you any portion of the Investments under our management, we shall pay any funds only into your Bank account as stipulated in the Client Details Schedule contained in Part Three.
      3. You authorise us to retain or to withdraw from any funds deposited by us on your behalf in accordance with the Funds Deposits Schedule or from any other inflows into your account, or from any credit balance standing, in such account, such amounts as are actually
        required to:
        1. Pay for Investments purchased on your behalf;
        2. Effect such other payments as are strictly necessary in the operation of this Mandate;
        3. Discharge a debt due to us from you whether in respect of the management fees due or otherwise under this Mandate; and
        4. Settle any interest which may become due on any unpaid amounts in terms of this Mandate, (the amounts referred to in 3.6.3.1 to 3.6.3.4 above are collectively referred to as the “Outstanding Amounts”).
      4. In addition to, and without affecting the rights of Sasfin in terms of 3.6.3 above, you authorise us to sell and dispose of any or all of your Investments held by us on your behalf in order to settle any Outstanding Amounts owing by you to us from time to time. In particular, and without limiting the aforegoing, insofar as Sasfin may acquire an Investment on your behalf and if for any reason you have failed to place Sasfin in sufficient funds by the requisite time to pay for such Investments on your behalf, Sasfin shall be entitled to dispose of such Investments, if acquired by Sasfin, or any of your other Investments as aforesaid, in order to realise the funds necessary to fulfil the original instruction. Sasfin may also, at its election, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to reverse the relevant trading instructions and/or retain ownership of the relevant Investments acquired, pending payment in full by the Client of such outstanding amount.
      5. Nothing in this Mandate affects your right to require us to pay to you, on Written request from you, any funds deposited by us on your behalf in accordance with the Funds Deposits Schedule or to deliver to you, or, in respect of uncertificated securities, transfer to your order, on request, any Investments held by us on your behalf.
    7. Transactions in BEE Securities
      You acknowledge that you shall not be entitled to deal in BEE Securities unless a valid BEE Contract has been signed by you or the proposed beneficial owner of the BEE Securities as the case may be and the other requirements contained in the JSE Rules have been complied with. The JSE Rules are designed to ensure and record that a proposed registered owner or proposed beneficial owner of BEE Securities qualifies as a BEE compliant person. Please advise Sasfin well in advance if you intend to deal in BEE Securities so that the necessary compliance arrangements can be achieved.

    1. In consideration for the services to be provided by us in terms of this Mandate, we shall be entitled to the fees as set out in Part Two, as is applicable (as amended from time to time). We are specifically authorised to realise any Investment held by us in terms of this Mandate should there be insufficient funds available to settle our fees. Should our Mandate be terminated during any calendar month, our pro-rated fees shall be payable up to and including the date of termination.
    2. All fees charged in terms of this Mandate are exclusive of VAT unless otherwise stated.
    3. Sasfin will from time to time act as an agent on behalf of the Client or as principal on behalf of the Client. In certain of these transactions it may be usual for commissions or other charges to be paid by Sasfin and/or to accrue to Sasfin as the agent or principal as contemplated above. The charges paid by us on your behalf and the amounts that accrue to us are more fully set out in Part Two hereto. You specifically authorise Sasfin to pay such amounts on your behalf and/or for Sasfin to retain such amounts as may accrue to it from such commissions or charges in accordance with trade usage.

Sasfin shall provide you with a monthly statement of account. Such statements will show full details of:

    1. The name of the person or entity in which the Investments are held;
    2. Any change in the Investments held on behalf of the Client including particulars of Investments executed for the Client since the date of the previous statement;
    3. Any funds balances held on behalf of the Client as at the date of the statement, including details of funds received and payments made by Sasfin since the date of the previous statement;
    4. Where applicable, the cost and market value of all Investments of the Client managed by Sasfin in terms of this Mandate in respect of every Investment held on the date of the statement; and
    5. Any other information which might be required by the Relevant Law from time to time.

    1. The value of the Investments and any income derived therefrom may fall as well as rise and the Client may not get back the full, or any part of, the amount invested. Furthermore, the performance and risk arising from investing in a Foreign Investment depends not only on the performance of the underlying investment itself but also on any fluctuations between the South African Rand and the selected currency of the foreign investment.
    2. A Foreign Investment may differ administratively from its South African equivalent; for example, the timeframe required to liquidate a foreign portfolio may be longer due to different structures and banking requirements for foreign investments. These Investments may take place through a foreign bank or a foreign investment manager.
    3. By your signature hereto, you acknowledge that you have been informed of the risks inherent in the Investments and, where appropriate, have been handed copies of any specific risk disclosure documents published from time to time by specific financial markets. In addition, you accept that such risk may result in financial loss to you.

    1. You hereby indemnify us (including without limitation, our directors, officers and employees) and any third party with whom we contract on your behalf whether as principal or agent and hold us and any such third party harmless from –
      1. Any fees charged by such third party in relation to an Investment made or realised for your account as contemplated in clause 4.3 above;
      2. Any loss incurred by you or on your behalf pursuant to any bona fide Investment or Investment decision made by us, or the execution by us of an instruction from you, in terms of this Mandate; and
      3. Any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be brought against us by reason of the operation of this Mandate.

        Nothing herein contained shall, however, absolve us from liability for loss suffered by you or any authorised person where you can prove that such liability or loss was through any act of fraud, theft, bad faith, dishonesty or gross negligence on our part or on the part of our employees, provided that any such liability or loss shall be limited to the amount of fees and commissions charged to your account over the preceding twenty-four month period. Notwithstanding the aforegoing, we assume no liability whatsoever for any act of fraud, theft, bad faith, dishonesty or gross negligence on the part of any third party as mentioned above, or on the part of any such third party’s employees. Nor do we assume any liability in the event of the insolvency or subsequent sequestration or liquidation of such third party.
    2. You hereby indemnify and hold us harmless in respect of any income tax or other tax or levy of whatsoever nature in respect of which you may become liable or which may become payable pursuant to anything done by us on your behalf in terms of this Mandate, and in particular:
      1. Tax on interest accruing for your benefit on any Funds deposited by us in terms of this Mandate; and
      2. Tax on the increase in value of any Investments administered or managed by us on your behalf and for your benefit. Furthermore, you undertake to refund to us on demand any amount which we may be lawfully called upon to pay by any revenue authority in respect of any such interest or gain accruing for your benefit, and further authorise us to pay any such amount out of the Investments or realised proceeds of the Investments managed by us on your behalf or under our control. If you are uncertain about your tax position, you should consult your professional tax adviser.

    1. This Mandate shall commence upon signature of it by Sasfin once the Client has accepted same by electronic means or by physical signature.
    2. Either party may terminate this Mandate on 30 (thirty) days’ Written notice to the other.
    3. The Client acknowledges that there may be contractual investment terms applicable to certain products that form part of the Investments, which endure despite the termination of this Mandate, such as, but not limited to, participation in bespoke Sasfin portfolios and foreign investment allowance capacity. In this event, Sasfin may continue to earn any relevant fees for the duration of such investment term.
    4. It is recorded that certain Investments, and particularly Foreign Investments, may require more than 30 (thirty) days to be realised and/or be repatriated. Whilst Sasfin will endeavour to meet the specified time constraints, the Client acknowledges that this may not necessarily be possible and holds Sasfin harmless against this occurrence.
    5. Upon termination of this Mandate, and at the request of the Client in Writing, Sasfin shall at the cost of the Client return to the Client any certificates, receipts, circulars and notices and/or any other contractually binding documentation relating to the Investments, which are in Sasfin’s possession and which are necessary for the reallocation of the Investments.
    6. This Mandate may be amended by Sasfin on the provision of 30 (thirty) days’ prior Written notice to the Client. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sasfin reserves the right to unilaterally amend this Mandate with immediate effect if and only to the extent that it no longer complies with the Relevant Law from time to time.
    7. Subject to that set out above, if Sasfin or the relevant member of the Sasfin Group for any reason cease to be a member of the JSE, this Mandate shall automatically terminate with immediate effect.
    8. Should this Mandate be terminated for any reason, no penalty shall become due to either party in respect of such termination. Such termination shall not, however, affect any outstanding order or transaction placed on your behalf prior to the termination of the Mandate or any legal rights or obligations, which may then already have arisen.

    1. The Client consents to Sasfin in its sole discretion recording any telephone conversations between the Client and any authorised employee of Sasfin and acknowledges that this is an international practice and is used for the purpose of resolving any disputes which may arise concerning telephonic advice or instruction or for any litigious matters.
    2. The Client acknowledges that Sasfin shall not pay any third party, save with the prior Written consent of an executive director of Sasfin, which consent shall be granted or withheld in Sasfin’s sole and absolute discretion.
    3. Sasfin is specifically authorised at any time upon not less than 20 (twenty) days’ notice in Writing to the Client to cede and assign all Sasfin’s rights and obligations in and under this Mandate to any third party who is authorised to manage Investments in terms of the applicable legislation and who is a member of the JSE. Such cessionary and assignee shall, unless this Mandate is thereupon terminated by the Client, assume all such rights and obligations with effect from the first day following such notice period. Failing such termination, the Client shall be deemed to have consented to such cession and assignment. Notwithstanding the aforegoing, Sasfin shall be entitled to cede and assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other member of the Sasfin Group from time to time without prior notice, subject to the Relevant Law.
    4. Where confirmation of a transaction is transmitted to the Client through an electronic medium, Sasfin will not be liable to you or any other person receiving the confirmation for or in respect of any direct, indirect or consequential liability, loss, damage or cost of any kind of nature arising by virtue of the fact that the confirmation is sent through an electronic medium, whether or not as a result of the destruction of data, system malfunction, interruption of communication links, interruption of electricity supply, or any other problem over which we have no reasonable control.
    5. The Client acknowledges and agrees that where any amount is due and payable to Sasfin in accordance with this Mandate and remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, Sasfin shall, at its election, be entitled (but not obliged) to charge interest on such overdue amounts at the Prime Rate plus 2% (two per cent) per annum, calculated daily and compounded monthly in arrears, from the date that such amount became payable until the day prior to the date of payment (both dates inclusive). Unless the contrary appears from the context of this Mandate, save where the contrary is specifically agreed between the Client and an authorised representative of Sasfin, all amounts due to Sasfin in terms of this Mandate shall be payable on the date on which they fall due.
    6. In the event of a dispute, a certificate signed by a manager of Sasfin shall constitute prima facie proof of any amount due to Sasfin by the Client at any time.
    7. This Mandate may be executed in counterparts by each party. Each Counterpart, including a signed copy thereof, shall together constitute evidence of this Mandate having been duly accepted by the parties. The Client undertakes upon acceptance of this Mandate to send a copy of its Counterpart to Sasfin and thereafter, where applicable, to deliver the original counterpart to Sasfin.

    1. Sasfin undertakes not to disclose or make available any Confidential Information to any third party whatsoever, other than a regulator or government body, or unless compelled to do so by law, including but not limited to a court order from a court of competent jurisdiction, without the prior Written consent of the Client.
    2. Sasfin undertakes that, before Confidential Information is disclosed to any of its employees, consultants or professional advisers, such person’s employees, consultants or professional advisers shall be advised of Sasfin’s confidentiality obligations.
    3. Sasfin undertakes not to sell to or allow to be used in anyway by a third party any details of the Client contained on any of its databases, without the prior Written consent of the Client.

    1. Where the Client is more than one person -
      1. Any instruction, notice, demand, acknowledgment or request to be given by or to the Client under this Mandate may be given by or to any one of the joint Clients.

      2. The Client’s liabilities under or in connection with this Mandate are joint and several; and

      2. Shall confirm in Writing that, on the basis of competent legal advice, the Client is satisfied that each trustee has all the necessary powers to enter into this Mandate.

    1. It is recorded and agreed that the preferred method of receiving trading instructions from the Client is a verbal communication via telephone, which telephone conversations may be recorded in terms of clause 9.1. The parties agree that Sasfin’s records in this regard shall be final and binding on the parties. In the event that Sasfin at its election chooses to execute orders issued by telefax and/or e-mail and/or any means other than verbal communication via telephone, same shall be executed at the Client’s risk in particular without limitation as to the timing of the execution thereof and the Client shall relieve Sasfin of any liability in respect thereof.
    2. The Client chooses as its domicilia citandi et executandi for all purposes under this Mandate, whether in respect of court process, notices or other documents or communications of whatsoever nature (including the exercise of any option), the residential address specified in the Client Details Schedule.
      1. Any notice or communication required or permitted to be given in terms of this Mandate (other than those pertaining to Investment instructions in the normal course referred to in clause 12.1, which may be conducted telephonically and which, for clarity, do not include third party payments), shall be valid and effective only if in Writing, provided that it shall be competent to give notice by e-mail.
      2. In respect of instructions to pay third parties and any Investment instruction which we may deem to be outside of the normal course, Sasfin reserves the right to require that those instructions be given in Writing and provided further that payments to third party will be made, notwithstanding Written instructions, subject to our discretion as set out in clause 9.2.
    3. The Client may by Written notice change the physical address chosen as its domicilium citandi et executandi to another physical address where postal delivery occurs in the Republic of South Africa, or its postal address or e-mail address, provided that the change shall become effective vis-à-vis that addressee on the 5th business day from the receipt of the notice by the addressee.
    4. Any notice to the Client –
      1.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any Relevant Law, in the event of a dispute between you and Sasfin, a certificate signed by any of Sasfin’s directors or managers (whose appointment, authority or qualification need not be proved), to the effect that a transaction was executed on the JSE trading system shall be prima facie proof that the said transaction was validly executed.

Any provision in this Mandate which is or may become illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction affected by this Mandate shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability and shall be treated pro non scripto and severed from the balance of this Mandate, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Mandate or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

In the event of any failure, interruption or delay in the performance of Sasfin’s obligations hereunder resulting from acts, events or circumstances not within our control (including but not limited to acts of God, industrial disputes, acts or regulations of government bodies and authorities or of any Investment exchange or clearing house or the breakdown, failure or malfunction of telecommunication, postal or computer services, including electrical power or electronic failures or interruptions), Sasfin shall not be liable to you or any other person for in respect of any direct, indirect or consequential liability, loss, damage or cost of any kind or nature.

It is recorded that you will have been separately obliged to deliver to us certain information required under FICA, including information pertaining to your source of funds and income.

You have the right to request access to and correction of the Personal Information that we have collected from you pursuant to fulfilling this Mandate.
    6. Sasfin may be required to transfer your Personal Information to locations outside of South Africa.

Any such extension, waiver or relaxation or suspension which is so given or made shall be strictly construed as relating strictly to the matter in respect whereof it was made or given.
