About the Satrix Stoxx Europe 600 ETF

• The Satrix Stoxx Europe 600 ETF offers sector, currency, geographic, and macroeconomic diversification, enabling investors to reduce concentration risk while gaining exposure to a mature, globally integrated, and reforming economy.
• The fund can address a clear gap by targeting undervalued international equities with attractive income characteristics, focusing on European and UK stocks with high dividend yields and low valuations relative to other offshore counterparts.
• Europe offers exposure to mature economies with world-leading companies in industrials, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, luxury goods, and renewable energy. Investors gain access to global exporters (e.g., LVMH, Siemens, Nestlé), many of which generate revenue outside Europe. SA’s equity market is resource- and financials-heavy. Europe’s tilt toward consumer goods, healthcare, and industrials offers beneficial diversification.
• Additionally, there is an opportunity for currency diversification for South African investors, as exposure to the Euro provides a hedge against local currency volatility.
• The UK region, which also forms part of this fund, is one of the highest yielding developed equity markets, supported by a strong dividend culture from companies such as Shell, BP, Unilever, and HSBC. This appeals to income-seeking investors. The UK equity market also trades at attractive valuations relative to its offshore counterparts.

About the Satrix MSCI Japan ETF

• By market capitalisation, Japan is the third-largest stock market globally, with the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) remaining a cornerstone of Asian capital markets, underpinned by Japan’s robust industrial base.
• Japan is a politically stable, developed economy with strong institutions and the largest stock market in Asia.
• Japan’s equity market is significant, with nearly 4,000 listed companies on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE).
• Japanese equities are the second-largest single-country developed equity market, after the United States (5.47% of the MSCI World), and are an essential building block in a global equity market allocation.
• Japan remains one of the world’s most resilient and export-driven economies, supported by its advanced manufacturing capabilities, internationally recognised brands, and a strong track record of technological innovation.
