1. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
1.1 To guarantee capital growth for the R30 million rand investment for the first five years.
1.2 To guarantee regular income starting in 5 years’ time from June 2011. The income should be sufficient to sustain QMC member’s payroll.
1.3 To provide a maximum level of growth and return consistent with prudent risk levels.
2 INVESTMENT GOALS
2.1 Targeted total return for the first 5 years should at least average 10% growth per annum. The realised income return for the 5 five years should be capitalised to help the investment to achieve the said growth return for the first five years.
2.2 Targeted income return from the starting of year 6 onwards should at least average 5% per annum. Given the growth in the initial 5 years, the average monthly income should be at least R200, 000.00 per month which is sufficient to sustain QMC members assuming that the consultancy business will be not functional.
2.3 Policy Benchmark: Overally, the performance of the QMF will be evaluated, on a risk-adjusted basis, against SAPOA/IPD SA Index. In the long run, the QMF diversification is expected to earn risk-adjusted returns that are comparable to the SAPOA/IPD SA Index.
2.4 The investment performance of the QMF will also be evaluated against FTSE/JSE Real Estate Investment Trusts (JSE: J863) and FTSE/JSE Real Estate Investment
