17. RISK DISCLOSURE

Foreign Investments contains unique risks that may affect the value of the Client’s investments. By signing this risk disclosure the Client acknowledges that he is aware of the risks associated with investing in Foreign Investments. The risks identified herein are not intended to be exhaustive and, where appropriate, the Client should consult his own legal, tax and financial experts to identify and understand all the risks inherent in Foreign Investments:

17.1. The value of the investment and the income derived therefrom may fluctuate and the Client may not recover the initial investment;

17.2. Investments are exposed to different tax regimes that may change without warning and it may influence investment returns;

17.3. Exchange control measures may change in the country of investment and it may influence accessibility to the invested capital;

17.4. Currency risk is the potential risk of loss from fluctuating foreign exchange rates when the Client has exposure to Foreign Investments. Exchange rate movements can be volatile and are difficult to predict. Should the Rand exchange rate strengthen against the exchange rate of the foreign currency in which the Client’s money is invested, it may create a loss of capital or reduced returns when the money is repatriated back to South Africa, even though the value of the Foreign Investments may have increased when valued in the foreign currency;

17.5. Leverage magnifies gains and losses experienced by the Client and could cause the value of investments to be subject to wider fluctuations than would be the case if no leverage were used. As a result, a relatively small market movement can result in substantial losses which may exceed the original investment. The interest expense and other costs incurred in connection with the use of leverage or borrowing may not be recovered by an appreciation in the investments purchased or carried.

17.6. The stock market is capable of large movements due to economic, political and other factors;

17.7. Fixed interest investments are affected by actual or expected changes in levels in interest rates;

17.7. Fixed interest investments are affected by actual or expected changes in levels in interest rates;

17.8. Getting access to investment performance information may be more difficult than South African based investments;

17.9. The Client may be exposed to operational risk. Operational risk is the risk of a loss arising from inadequate or failed processes, people and systems or external events. It also represents the potential loss arising from inadequacies in, or failures of system and controls for, monitoring and quantifying the risks and contractual obligations associated with financial instruments transactions and the recording and valuing thereof;

17.10. The Client may be exposed to event risk. The value of investments are linked to general economic conditions including, but not limited to, changing supply and demand relationships, government trade and fiscal policies, national and international political and economic events, natural disasters, war and terrorist attacks and Page 5 changes in exchange rates and interest rates, that may affect the level and volatility of prices;

17.11. Assessing the relative risk of any of the above factors is highly subjective and, in line with market conditions, can change over time in response to specific events or revised social or economic forecasts. It is accordingly not possible to lay down precise guidelines for the measurement of risk or the potential impact, whether positive or negative, upon an investment portfolio. Investments in foreign countries may involve other risks, such as currency fluctuations, different accounting standards to those recognised in South Africa, and often, limited information;

17.12. The Client acknowledges that client assets may be held on their behalf via an omnibus account.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the aforegoing constitutes an instruction given by the Client to Peresec Prime Brokers, and not a remedy for breach of this Agreement or the enforcement of Peresec Prime Brokers’ rights arising from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

Peresec Prime Brokers may, in its sole discretion, include in its calculation of the LTV any other assets (i.e. assets that are not held in the Client Account) transferred to Peresec Prime Brokers by or on behalf of the Client.

In relation to a disputed calculation, valuation or determination referred to in this clause, the costs of the Substitute Calculation Agent will be borne by the disputing Party or Defaulting Party, as applicable, unless the subsequent calculation by the Substitute Calculation Agent differs from the original calculation of the Calculation Agent, Valuation Agent or Determining Party in respect of that Transaction (except if such difference is merely the result of the rounding off of amounts), in which case the Calculation Agent, Valuation Agent or Determining Party in respect of that Transaction will bear the costs of the Substitute Calculation Agent.

Failure by Peresec Prime Brokers to send a Confirmation to the Client will not affect the validity of the CFD Transaction concluded, or, as applicable, the effectiveness of (and the obligations arising upon) the closing of such CFD Transaction.

Peresec Prime Brokers will not be acting in a fiduciary capacity with respect to the Client’s in respect of CFD Transactions and the Client will not have any claims directly against the issuers of any of the Shares or components of the Index or publishers of the Index but will rely solely on Peresec Prime Brokers for performance of the obligations set out in this Annex. The CFD Transactions constitute general, unsecured, unsubordinated contractual obligations of Peresec Prime Brokers.

7.3. Nature of Cash Margin

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Annex, the Cash Margin transferred by Peresec Prime Brokers from the Client Account to the Margin Account in terms of clause 4.10 of this Annex will not constitute cash held by Peresec Prime Brokers on behalf of the Client for the acquisition of any securities.

7.4. Risk Disclosure

Peresec Prime Brokers has classified you as a “Client” in terms of the FMA. You will be afforded a level of protection which is consistent with your classification. CFD Transactions may not be appropriate for all Clients and carry a high degree of risk.

Paragraph 5 of the FMA Conduct Standard 2 of 2018 (“Conduct Standard”) requires Peresec Prime Brokers to assess the appropriateness of CFD Transactions for its Clients based on their financial situation, objectives, knowledge, and experience. In the absence of the provision of such information, Peresec Prime Brokers is required to inform its Clients that CFD Transactions may not be appropriate. (please complete Annexure A).

The risks set out below are the risks which are considered to be material but are not the only risks associated with transactions involving CFD Transactions.

The Client shall ensure that it fully understands the nature of CFD Transactions and the extent of their exposure to risks and the Client will consider the suitability of CFD Transactions as an investment in the light of its own circumstances and financial position.

Nothing herein should be construed as investment, financial, strategic, legal, regulatory, accounting, or tax advice. Peresec Prime Brokers is acting as an arm’s length contractual counterparty and not as an advisor or fiduciary. The Client should in making its investment decision, consult its own legal, tax, and financial advisers as to all the risks.

Peresec Prime Brokers makes no representations as to (i) the suitability of the CFD Transactions for any particular Client, (ii) the appropriate accounting treatment or possible tax consequences of investing in the CFD Transactions, (iii) the future performance of the CFD Transactions either in absolute terms or relative to competing investments, (iv) changes in the creditworthiness or performance of the Reference Instrument that may affect the value of the CFD Transaction and could result in it redeeming or being valued at zero or even at a negative value.

CFD Transactions are not guaranteed by an exchange nor does it result in the ownership of any futures contracts.

There may be no market for CFD Transactions. CFD Transactions, especially when traded in large amounts, may not be liquid in all circumstances, so that in volatile markets Clients may not be able to close out a position without incurring a loss. Peresec Prime Brokers may, but is not obliged to, make a market. If it does, it may cease at any time without notice.

Trading in CFD Transactions can result in large amounts of leverage. Leverage offered by trading in CFD Transactions may result in a relatively small market movement resulting in substantial losses. Costs incurred in connection with the use of leverage or borrowing may not be recovered by an appreciation in the investments purchased or carried.

Assuming no change in market conditions or other factors, the value of a CFD Transaction at close out may be significantly less than the execution price on the trade date.

A securities exchange typically has the right to suspend or limit trading in all securities that it lists. Such a suspension would render it impossible for CFD Transactions to be liquidated and accordingly, could expose CFD Transactions to losses.

7.4.1. The global regulatory regime for derivatives is uncertain and is also changing. Third parties and regulatory bodies may reach conclusions on the interpretation of regulatory regime that are different, and to the extent that any applicable law or regulation is interpreted differently, the performance of CFD Transactions may be adversely affected.

8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The “Non-Reliance”, “Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging Activities”, and “Additional Acknowledgements” provisions of Article 13 of the Equity Definitions shall be applicable to all CFD Transactions.

9. PAYMENT NETTING, SECURITY CESSION AND FEES

9.1. Netting

If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable in respect of any one or more CFD Transactions in the same currency by each Party to the other then, on such date, each Party's obligation to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one Party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other Party, replaced by an obligation upon the Party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other Party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.

10. INDEPENDENT ADVICE AND INDEMNITY

The Client acknowledges that it has been free to secure independent legal and other advice as to the nature and effect of all the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of each CFD Transaction and that it has either taken such independent legal and other advice or dispensed with the necessity of doing so. The Client acknowledges that all of the provisions of this Agreement and the restrictions herein contained have been negotiated as between it and the other parties hereto and thereto and are part of the overall intention of the parties in connection with this Agreement and the other Transactions.

Provided Peresec Prime Brokers has acted in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, and other than in relation to losses caused by Peresec Prime Brokers’ or Peresec Prime Brokers’ Affiliates’ fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence, the Client hereby irrevocably and unconditionally indemnifies Peresec Prime Brokers in full against all direct actions, suits, demands, losses, liabilities or damage that the Client may suffer in relation to the CFD Transaction. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any indirect or consequential loss or damage, or loss of anticipated profit (whether direct or indirect) or loss of bargain, suffered or incurred by the other party or any of its Affiliates.

11. GENERAL

11.1. Neither Peresec Prime Brokers nor the Client may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations in terms of a CFD Transaction without the other’s written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that Peresec Prime Brokers may, upon reasonable prior written notice to the Client, make such an assignment or transfer to a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate.

11.2. If any provision of these terms is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in terms of any applicable law, the remaining provisions of these terms will remain in full force and effect (as will that provision in terms of any other law).

11.3. No failure or delay of Peresec Prime Brokers or the Client in exercising any right or remedy in terms of these terms will constitute a waiver of that right. Any waiver of any right will be limited to the specific instance.

11.4. Peresec Prime Brokers and the Client consent to telephonic or electronic monitoring or recording for security and quality of service purposes and agree that either may produce telephonic or electronic recordings or computer records as evidence in any proceedings brought in connection with these terms.

Financial risk classification

In addition to deciding on your investment time horizon and objectives, you also need to decide on a suitable level of risk for your investments. That means understanding your appetite for risk (how much risk are you prepared to take to achieve your desired levels of return) and understanding your capacity for risk (how much you can afford to lose).

There is a direct link between risk and return. Generally, if you are aiming for a higher return, you will need to take a higher level of risk and be prepared to tolerate greater levels of volatility.

Having a specific financial risk tolerance does not preclude you from selecting or being advised on products which, in isolation, have a higher or lower risk profile. You should agree with your adviser the relative basis on which such investments form part of an overall portfolio designed according to your personal risk profile.

Select below the risk classification that most closely matches your risk appetite/ risk tolerance by initialling in the last column:

Conservative I am willing to accept the lowest return potential, lowest return variability and the lowest fluctuation in account value in exchange for lower risk.
Moderately conservative I am willing to accept a relatively low return potential, relatively low return variability and relatively low fluctuation in account value in exchange for a below average amount of risk.
Moderate I am willing to accept an average amount of risk in exchange for average return potential, average return variability and average fluctuation in account value
Moderately aggressive I am willing to accept an above average amount of risk in exchange for a relatively high return potential, relatively high return variability and relatively high fluctuation in account value
Aggressive I am willing to accept the highest amount of risk in exchange for the highest return potential, the highest return variability and the highest fluctuation in account value

7. Capacity for loss

Capacity for loss means your capacity to withstand a decline or loss of capital in your investments, or the degree of decline or loss in the value of your investments that you are able to accommodate without such decline or loss resulting in a material decline in your standard of living.

The type of investments offered by Wealth & Investment requires you to have both the willingness and capacity to accept a degree of decline or loss of your capital.

Execution orders may be passed to overseas branches or associate companies of Peresec Prime Brokers and other intermediate brokers (selected at Peresec Prime Brokers’ discretion) for execution. Orders are subject to the terms and conditions of any intermediate broker and to the applicable exchange rules and regulations.

4. The Client acknowledges that each foreign market exchange has its own order execution and best execution policies that the Client must adhere and comply with.

5. Where the Client has elected the Investment Type above to be “Own Foreign Allowance” his Foreign Investments will be effected as follows:

5.1. When utilising his individual foreign investment allowance, the Client hereby warrants that any funds placed with Peresec Prime Brokers for investment in terms of this Mandate do not exceed his personal limit as allowed by the SARB.

In this respect, the Client authorises Peresec Prime Brokers to do all things necessary to comply with the SARB exchange control regulations or the Pension Fund Act prudential requirements, as may be amended from time to time.

17. RISK DISCLOSURE

Foreign Investments contains unique risks that may affect the value of the Client’s investments. By signing this risk disclosure the Client acknowledges that he is aware of the risks associated with investing in Foreign Investments. The risks identified herein are not intended to be exhaustive and, where appropriate, the Client should consult his own legal, tax and financial experts to identify and understand all the risks inherent in Foreign Investments:

17.1. The value of the investment and the income derived therefrom may fluctuate and the Client may not recover the initial investment;

17.2. Investments are exposed to different tax regimes that may change without warning and it may influence investment returns;

17.3. Exchange control measures may change in the country of investment and it may influence accessibility to the invested capital;

17.4. Currency risk is the potential risk of loss from fluctuating foreign exchange rates when the Client has exposure to Foreign Investments. Exchange rate movements can be volatile and are difficult to predict. Should the Rand exchange rate strengthen against the exchange rate of the foreign currency in which the Client’s money is invested, it may create a loss of capital or reduced returns when the money is repatriated back to South Africa, even though the value of the Foreign Investments may have increased when valued in the foreign currency;

17.5. Leverage magnifies gains and losses experienced by the Client and could cause the value of investments to be subject to wider fluctuations than would be the case if no leverage were used. As a result, a relatively small market movement can result in substantial losses which may exceed the original investment. The interest expense and other costs incurred in connection with the use of leverage or borrowing may not be recovered by an appreciation in the investments purchased or carried.

17.6. The stock market is capable of large movements due to economic, political and other factors;

17.7. Fixed interest investments are affected by actual or expected changes in levels in interest rates;

17.7. Fixed interest investments are affected by actual or expected changes in levels in interest rates;

17.8. Getting access to investment performance information may be more difficult than South African based investments;

17.9. The Client may be exposed to operational risk. Operational risk is the risk of a loss arising from inadequate or failed processes, people and systems or external events. It also represents the potential loss arising from inadequacies in, or failures of system and controls for, monitoring and quantifying the risks and contractual obligations associated with financial instruments transactions and the recording and valuing thereof;

17.10. The Client may be exposed to event risk. The value of investments are linked to general economic conditions including, but not limited to, changing supply and demand relationships, government trade and fiscal policies, national and international political and economic events, natural disasters, war and terrorist attacks and Page 5 changes in exchange rates and interest rates, that may affect the level and volatility of prices;

17.11. Assessing the relative risk of any of the above factors is highly subjective and, in line with market conditions, can change over time in response to specific events or revised social or economic forecasts. It is accordingly not possible to lay down precise guidelines for the measurement of risk or the potential impact, whether positive or negative, upon an investment portfolio. Investments in foreign countries may involve other risks, such as currency fluctuations, different accounting standards to those recognised in South Africa, and often, limited information;

17.12. The Client acknowledges that client assets may be held on their behalf via an omnibus account.
