Refer to the fund factsheets (minimum disclosure documents) and the Allan Gray Local Investment Platform Fund
List for information on the unit trusts we offer. Certain unit trusts are subject to availability.
Consider getting financial advice:
Allan Gray does not provide financial advice. However, we believe in the merits of good independent advice.

Once you are a member of the preservation fund, you may only make one withdrawal, of 100% or less per
investment account, before retirement. You will not be able to make a withdrawal if you have previously taken
a withdrawal or where there are withdrawal restrictions imposed by the transferring fund. If you transferred to a
preservation fund from a pension or provident fund on leaving employment (after retirement age of your scheme),
you will not be entitiled to a withdrawal in respect of the transferred amount (including growth).
Your unit trust selection must comply with Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act that limits the maximum
exposure you may have to various asset classes, for example: 75% in equities, 25% in property and 30% in foreign
assets (with an additional 10% in African assets).
To check whether your selection complies, you can use the Regulation 28 calculator on our website, or contact
your financial adviser or our Client Service Centre.

been financially dependent on you at the time of your death, anyone entitled to maintenance, as well as anyone who may in
future have become financially dependent on you.

trustees to consider when they allocate the benefit (your nominees) will also be taken into account.

For more information on how death benefits must be dealt with by the trustees, please refer to ‘Understanding the death claims
process of retirement funds’, which is available on our website.
Please complete the details of all spouses, life partners, children and individuals that are financially dependent on you.
