36ONE MET Equity Fund
Straight Performance - BEST SOUTH AFRICAN EQUITY GENERAL FUND
This award recognised the consistent, industry-leading investment returns delivered by the 36ONE MET Equity Fund since its launch in 2012. The investment landscape in South Africa has changed rapidly over the last three years, which has made for very challenging investment conditions. 36ONE Asset Management's ability to successfully navigate this environment stems from the investment manager's willingness to take a completely benchmark-agnostic approach. Evan Walker, the portfolio manager, carefully evaluates macroeconomic drivers and combines these with sector and stock-specific analysis to arrive at a portfolio that has risk management as a top priority, while still delivering attractive growth. In addition, 36ONE’s dynamic investment process enables it to swiftly adjust its portfolio positioning in response to continually evolving risks and opportunities.
Following a number of strong years for the South African equity market, 36ONE prioritised capital preservation over growth in the last year and for the year ahead, the investment manager remains cautious given the economic uncertainties that are prevalent locally and abroad. However, investors in the 36ONE MET Equity Fund can take comfort in the fact that the investment process that produced the exceptional returns of the last three years remains unchanged and that 36ONE is well positioned to preserve and grow its clients’ wealth.
