=Product Range= Prudential Investment Managers (South Africa) offers investors a focused range of investment vehicles, including unit trusts, life funds, and segregated portfolios. Each investment vehicle is managed according to a specific mandate and invests across single or multiple assets classes. These investment mandates include:

Equity
South African general equity portfolios are managed to deliver long-term returns above the benchmark.

Balanced
The objective of the balanced portfolios is to outperform comparable peers, typically defined as performance above the median return of appropriate industry surveys.

Listed Property
Listed property mandates utilise an enhanced indexation approach to provide a cost-effective exposure to listed property with a trade-off between outperformance and risk.

Real Return
These portfolios are managed specifically to achieve a return in excess of inflation (CPI), usually over a rolling three-year period. Multi-asset mandates have the dual objective of outperforming a specific inflation benchmark over a rolling three-year period; and preserving capital by ensuring no capital loss over a 12-month period.

Fixed Income
These portfolios invest in various fixed income securities across different maturities, depending on the client’s specific risk and return requirements.

Global
The global offering includes four different offshore investments, ranging from pure equity mandates to fixed income mandates.
