Designed and managed for South African investors looking to maximise their retirement lifestyles without the risk of running out of capital, the Marriott Essential Income Fund is a simple, low-cost and effective solution for retirement.

Our unique Income Focused investment approach, combined with an optimal long-term blend of the highest quality South African dividend paying companies (both property and equities) and government bonds, enables investors to avoid capital erosion by matching their income requirements with the income produced by the portfolio. Using the Essential Income Fund to "Spend the Income Not the Capital" provides the following benefits:

• Sustainable inflation hedged income for life — no longevity risk
• A higher "safe" drawdown than the traditional living annuity approach
• A similar income yield but with greater flexibility than guaranteed annuities
• Exposure to quality companies

Fund Objective

The Marriott Essential Income Fund has as its primary objective to provide a high level of reliable income for investors and to grow this income in line with inflation over time. The secondary consideration is growth in capital in line with inflation over time. To achieve this objective the fund will invest, apart from liquid assets, in a blend of equities, REITS, collective investment schemes in property, bonds and money market instruments. The portfolio will maintain a minimum equity exposure of 25% and a combined minimum exposure to REITS and collective investment schemes in property of 15%.
