Amplify launches new fund for investors with an appetite for strong performance

Amplify Investment Partners has launched a new SA flexible equity fund, the latest addition to its growing number of high-performing funds.

Amplify, whose funds are managed by independent boutique managers, has grown assets under management by 580% since 2018 to R53bn with strong performances across its local and global unit trusts, and hedge funds.
Its latest unit trust, the Amplify SCI* SA Flexible Equity Fund, managed by Fairtree Asset Management, aims to outperform inflation by 5% over three to five years. It is a multi-asset flexible equity fund, with SA-only equity exposure of 40% to 80%, aiming to preserve capital at lower risk than a pure equity portfolio.

Moments of opportunity presenting for investors

Opportunities in the equities market are shrinking, resulting in an increased focus on downside protection, said Etienne Roux, analyst at Amplify SCI* Wealth Protector Fund manager, Truffle Asset Management. With the number of companies shrinking, valuations depressed, multiples low, and several big companies no longer on the JSE, liquidity has been significantly reduced.
But the fund’s managers see many great investment opportunities, including government bonds. As loadshedding has improved, there should be a positive effect based on the prior year effect it had in GDP. 50% of the JSE index are SA-focused businesses that have had 10 to 12 years of exceptional trading conditions, so if the country gets a few things right, there will be significant opportunities and a lot of shares that have been overlooked could provide investment opportunities. The fund sees opportunities in companies that are cleaning up or bulking up. There are also new listing opportunities.

There are obvious challenges from a human and financial capital standpoint, as well as questions over the capacity of the state to deliver on such a complicated system, something which has proven challenging globally.
