In terms of the Trust Deed and CISCA, the Fund would be required to pay the net asset
value attributable to investors on redemption of securities. Vested income
beneficiaries include all holders of Sygnia Itrix MSCI World redeemable securities.



CREATIONS AND REDEMPTIONS

There were 67 400 000 (2017: 64 800 000) Index Securities created during the year
amounting to the value of R1 867 750 421 (2017: R1 725 831 979).

the value of R363 087 866 (2017: R153 288 483).
DISTRIBUTIONS

The Fund effects semi–annual distributions. All distributions are made from the
income of the Fund.

The rebates represent an investor's partial reduction of the 69 basis points
management fee charged (2017: 68.4 basis points management fee charged). The rebate
is calculated using a sliding scale depending on the size of the investor's
investment.

During the year under review the following distributions were effected by the Fund:

                                                            2018              2017

Total distribution expense for the year             (108 368 507)      (62 989 959)




TOTAL EXPENSE RATIO (TER)

The TER represents the total expense to the Fund. The only expense of the Fund is the
management fee payable to the Manager which is calculated at 0.69% per annum of
assets under management on a daily basis (2017: 0.684% of assets under management).
The Fund had a TER of 69 basis points (2017: 68.4 basis points).

Increased consumer demand for greater transparency in financial services and the
recognition thereof by the collective investment industry requires Collective
Investment Scheme (CIS) managers to calculate and publish a total expense ratio for
each Fund under their management. This is a requirement in terms of the Association
for Savings and Investments South Africa (ASISA) standard on the calculation and
publication of total expense ratios.
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The information in this summarised report has been extracted from the audited annual
financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with the JSE Listing
Requirements for abridged reports, and the requirements of CISCA, in order to meet
the requirements of the Trust Deed approved by the Financial Services Conduct
Authority.

The listing requirements require abridged reports to be prepared in accordance with
the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition of International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the
Accounting Practices Committee, and the Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued
by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the
information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. This announcement does
not include the information required pursuant to paragraph 16A(j) of IAS 34. The full
report is available on the issuer's website, at the issuer's registered offices and
upon request.

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the board of directors of the
Manager on 28 March 2019.


ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements from
which the summary financial statements were derived are in terms of International
Financial Reporting Standards and are consistent with those accounting policies
applied in the preparation of the previous annual financial statements except for the
adoption of the IFRS 9 Financial Instruments which replaces the previously adopted
IAS 39.


NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED

The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations effective for
the first time in future accounting periods and which are relevant to the Fund have
not been early adopted.

Amendment to IFRS 9: Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation Effective for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019

Under the current IFRS 9 requirements, the SPPI (solely payments of principal and
interest) condition is not met if the lender has to make a settlement payment in the
event of termination by the borrower (also referred to as early repayment gain).
Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation amends the existing requirements in
IFRS 9 regarding termination rights in order to allow measurement at amortised cost
(or, depending on the business model, at fair value through other comprehensive
income) even in the case of negative compensation payments.
INVESTMENT INCOME

Investment income comprises:
•   Interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents;
•   Cash equalisation component on creations (at the time of creation it represents
    the income portion attributable to the net asset value at the time that is
    payable by the creating party); and
•   Dividends from listed equities held at fair value through profit or loss.


INTEREST INCOME

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method
taking into account the expected timing and amount of cash flows.


DIVIDEND INCOME

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive the payment is established.
This is usually the ex-dividend date for quoted equities.
