Asset Allocation on CIS and instruments without CIS – Intended Maximum Limits

 

As per Regulation 28 of the South African Pension Funds Act, the intended maximum limits are the legal ceilings set by the government to control risk.

Intended Maximum Limits
  • Legal caps defined by law for asset classes (e.g., 75% for equities, 45% for offshore/foreign assets, 25% for property).
  • Designed to force portfolio diversification and protect retirement savings from extreme market crashes.
  • Fixed by the South African National Treasury and updated periodically.
