Risk Management

The following set of rigorous risk management principles ensure each client’s capital is prudently exposed to adverse market conditions:

–Risk alert models are managed by MyWealth to ensure that mandated parameters are adhered to. Parameters are as follows:

–Gross exposure 200%, Net exposure 150%, Concentration risk max 20% per individual counter with a minimum exposure of 5% concentration risk.

–Concentration risk per sector is 40%.

–Gearing is limited to a multiple of 5 which means a margin of 20%.

–Only selective clients will be considered i.e. clients who understand and accept the risk associated with this type of mandate.

Short Selling

–Short selling is the practice of selling a share or related derivative instrument which you do not own, with the intention to buy back at lower prices to benefit from falling prices.
