Listing of UBS Actively Managed Certificates linked to the Capital Link
Partners Asia Growth Portfolio.
The JSE Limited has granted UBS AG approval for the listing of UBS
Portfolio Notes linked to the Capital Link Partners Asia Growth Portfolio
(the "Reference Portfolio").
The Reference Portfolio, whose composition may vary from time to time, is
actively managed by the Reference Portfolio Advisor and represents a
notional investment in the Reference Portfolio Components as described in
detail below.
Background:
Capital Link Partners (Pty) Ltd (“CLP”) is a boutique investment firm that
strives for consistent returns through application of fundamentals and
innovation. CLP has managed a global fund for 6 years, during which, CLP
has had great success in choosing themes and stocks in the Asian markets.
However, the impact of this successful investing in Asia has been diluted
by allocations to other regions around the world. To capitalize on CLP's
achievements in Asia and extend the benefits to South African investors,
CLP has formulated a targeted strategy with a primary focus on Asian
markets.
Core principles driving CLP’s investment process:
• They believe long term wealth is created by consistent organic
growth.
• They believe in consistent organic growth that is supported by themes
because themes tend to evolve over the long term and tend to outlast
macroeconomic changes.
• This growth has low volatility leading to less volatile profitability
of companies.
• They believe companies fail because of balance sheet weakness.
• Companies with strong balance sheets have room to invest for long
term organic growth.
• Companies with strong balance sheets are able to survive a slump in
sales which enables them to withstand depressed economic activity.
More information about CLP can be found at https://www.clpsa.co.za. CLP is
regulated by the Financial Services Conduct Authority with license number
47485.
The portfolio and investment mandate focuses on Asia (ex. Japan). The
portfolio is allocated in countries according to the size (gross domestic
product) and growth of gross domestic product. The allocation to each
country is capped at two times the average weight of all countries to
prevent concentration. The portfolio will be rebalanced quarterly. At
rebalancing, the weight is adjusted proportionally to GDP growth while
applying the cap in weight as the selection process.
