Rezco Value Trend Fund
A Regulation 28 compliant multi-asset fund seeking long-term capital growth with a focus on lower volatility through market cycles.
The Rezco Value Trend Fund is a multi-asset strategy designed to participate meaningfully in upside markets while aiming to preserve capital in tougher conditions. The fund can invest across shares, listed property, bonds, money market instruments, and offshore assets—allowing the portfolio to adapt as opportunities and risks change through time.
Our approach combines disciplined fundamental research with active asset allocation. We apply a Growth at the Right Price (GARP) lens when selecting equities—seeking companies with durable earnings potential, sound balance sheets, and sensible valuations—while using portfolio construction to manage exposures and avoid unnecessary risk concentration.
The fund aims to outperform the South African equity market over the long term without taking on greater risk, and to deliver returns well in excess of inflation over rolling 3–5 year periods. The manager does not guarantee capital or returns.

A message from the portfolio manager
Simon Sylvester, CEO & Portfolio Manager
The Value Trend Fund is built for investors who want a single, flexible solution that can work through different market regimes. Our objective is simple: participate in upside markets, protect capital when conditions deteriorate, and compound meaningfully over time—without relying on one narrow outcome to be “right.”
We combine bottom-up equity research with active portfolio construction across asset classes. When we take equity risk, we do so with a GARP discipline—focusing on businesses with durable earnings potential and strong balance sheets at sensible valuations—while using diversification, liquidity awareness, and exposure management to keep the portfolio investable through changing conditions. Over the long term, we aim to deliver returns that exceed inflation over rolling 3–5 year periods, without guaranteeing capital or returns.

A disciplined equity process, grounded in fundamentals.
Our investment approach begins with the belief that share prices, over time, follow the intrinsic value of the businesses they represent. We look for companies with strong earnings power, sustainable competitive advantages, and clean balance sheets—and we aim to buy them at prices that offer a margin of safety.
Our philosophy is built on the belief that long-term outcomes improve when decisions are anchored in fundamental research and executed with consistency. We focus predominantly on bottom-up stock selection, supported by quantitative and qualitative work, and we incorporate macro considerations—such as interest rates and currency dynamics—when constructing the portfolio.
This approach helps us stay focused on business quality and valuation discipline while remaining deliberate about portfolio exposures through different market regimes.Rather than follow a narrow style, we adopt a Growth at the Right Price (GARP) philosophy: we want exposure to businesses that can compound value, purchased at fair or attractive prices. We are benchmark-aware but not benchmark-bound, allowing the portfolio to express conviction without unnecessary constraints.
