3 OLD MUTUAL NAMIBIA UNIT TRUSTS Old Mutual Namibia Unit Trusts offer investors expertly managed Funds to suit a variety of investment and savings needs. These Funds can be accessed via accredited financial advisors or through brokers. WHAT IS A UNIT TRUST? Unit Trusts use the combined money of investors to invest in global markets and economies. This combined investment is managed by investment professionals, called Portfolio Managers, who buy shares and other assets classes on behalf of their clients, according to the mandate of the Unit Trust. Simply put, Unit Trusts offer an easy, convenient and affordable way to invest in shares, and other asset classes. There are many types of Unit Trust Funds that are designed to offer you, the investor, a range of different benefits depending on your particular needs. These can range from long-term growth, to Funds that give the investor regular income. An added benefit is that because Unit Trusts are made up of more than one investment, the Portfolio Manager can make a decision to buy assets that are performing well, and to sell under-performing assets in order to meet the objectives on the Unit Trust, and your own investment goals. Old Mutual Namibia Unit Trusts offers a range of Unit Trust Funds with different risk profiles, from the very conservative to more aggressive Funds, in order that you can build a diversified investment portfolio tailored to meet your personal investment needs, your risk profile, and your long term investment goals. There is no contractual term with a Unit Trust, and you may sell your investment at any time. However, it is recommended that you view your Unit Trust portfolio as a medium to long-term investment. FEATURES & BENEFITS Unit Trusts offer you the flexibility to tailor an investment portfolio to suit your specific needs and time horizon. You can buy them directly from your financial adviser or broker. You can access the stock exchange without needing prior knowledge or experience in investing in equities. You gain the ability to diversify (spread) your investment across different markets, sectors, and economies - greatly reducing your overall investment risk. Money invested in Unit Trusts is easily accessible, especially when you most need it. Unit Trusts offer exciting capital growth opportunities, but should be viewed as a medium to long-term investment tool. 3

4 MAKE MONEY ON YOUR OWN MONEY Did you know that when investing, your money is working for you through a simple concept called compounding growth? SAVING WITH COMPOUND INTEREST As an example, an initial once-off investment of N$ 10,000 invested for 5 years at an annual interest rate of 10% would give you an amount of N$ 16,105 if compounded annually. This amounts to an additional N$ 1,105 above the N$ 15,000 you would have had when compounding was not used. The graph below shows three investors who each invested N$ 500 a month until they were 65, but starting at different ages. Notice the difference in contributions as the investor who invested at a later stage would have to contribute far more to achieve the same final amount. THE EFFECTS OF COMPOUND INTEREST Started at 25 Started at 35 Started at 45 3,500,000 3,000,000 2,500,000 2,000,000 1,500,000 1,000, , BUT THERE S A CATCH Compound growth is only effective over time. The longer you put off investing, the longer it will take to reach your goal and the more it will cost you. And whilst few of us have the luxury of investing a lump sum, investing smaller amounts regularly over time can be just as effective to build wealth, without making too dramatic an impact on your budget. A Unit Trust offers the flexibility to change your monthly investment as your circumstances change - without you incurring penalties. We also offer the option to have your debit order amount automatically increased each year, helping you combat the ravages of inflation. 4

5 AND DON T FORGET THE RISK Unit Trust Funds come with an element of risk, based on a risk profile from 1 being low risk, to 5 being a more aggressive Fund. Lower risk Funds are made up of more cash and bond elements, whereas higher risk Funds concentrate more on the equities market across many economies. Compounding simply means making money on your original investment, as well as on the gains made in the following years (i.e. growth on growth over time). If you leave your investment over a long period of time, the investment not only grows each year, but grows exponentially. This interest is called compound interest, and is the key to long term growth and wealth. 5

20 FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE YOUR DETAILS TO: or for existing customers, call the Old Mutual Call Centre on (061) For new clients call (061) , or visit our website at ALTERNATIVELY, YOU ARE WELCOME TO CONTACT YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISER OR BROKER FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. Unit trusts are generally medium to long term investments. Past performance is no indication of future growth. It is important that you are prepared for some shorter term fluctuations as your investment moves in line with the markets. Fluctuations or movements in exchange rates may cause the value of underlying international investments to go up or down. An annual service fee is calculated on the market value of the fund s assets (excluding income and permissible deductions) and deducted from the portfolio on a monthly basis. A schedule of fees and charges and maximum commissions is available from the company/intermediary. The daily price is the current value of the fund s assets plus interest income (minus expenses). You can easily sell your investment at the ruling price of the day (calculated at 15h00 on a forward pricing basis). The Old Mutual Nedbank Namibia Money Market Fund unit price is static and interest is declared daily at 13h00.
