Strategy of Coronation Market Plus Fund
Coronation Market Plus Fund can invest in a wide range of assets such as shares, bonds, listed property and cash, both in South Africa and internationally.
It will typically have a strong bias towards shares, which offer the highest
expected long-term returns. But unlike an equity fund, it does not have to
remain fully invested in shares when we believe the stock market is too
expensive.
Foreign investments (excluding Africa) may represent up to 35% of its assets.
The fund is mandated to use derivative instruments for efficient portfolio
management purposes.
