         The S&P South Africa Sovereign Bond 1+ Year Index tracks local currency denominated
         Sovereign debt issued by the Government of South Africa in its domestic market with maturity of
         1 year or more The index is reconstituted quarterly in February, May, August and November,
         and is updated and published daily on the S&P Dow Jones Indices website.

         The aim of the portfolio is to provide returns linked to the performance of the S&P South Africa
         Sovereign Bond 1+Year Index ("the Index") in terms of both price performance as well as
         income from the underlying investments. The portfolio will aim to track the performance of the
         index as closely as feasibly and practically possible.

         In order to achieve the abovementioned objective, the portfolio will generally invest in all of the
         component securities of the index in proportion to their weighting in the index and will under
         normal circumstances aim to invest at least 90% of its total assets in the shares, or equivalent
         securities, composing the index.
         The proceeds generated from the issuing of the securities will be used to purchase constituent
         securities of the index, in the same proportions, so as to replicate the capital and income return
         of the underlying index.
         The composition of the portfolio will be compared to the composition of the index on a daily
         basis, taking into account any investment contributions or withdrawals to and from the portfolio,
         the receipt of any dividends for reinvestment, the effect of any corporate actions and its impact
         on the composition of the portfolio relative to that of the index.


      *One letter of allocation ("LA") will be issued for every Rand subscription against a subscribers
      CSDP or broker account being debited with the Rand amount. Once the underlying index
      constituents have been acquired, the LAs will convert to ETF securities in terms of the conversion
      ratios that will be published on SENS.
