The Granate SCI Money Market Fund
This fund aims to provide a higher level of income than short-term fixed deposits and call accounts over time.
It is suitable for investors who are seeking an alternative to bank deposits or a short-term investment with quick access to their money.
The focus is on capital preservation and stable returns. However, fund returns will move according to prevailing market interest rates. These rates are largely driven by the repo rate set by the South African Reserve Bank.

The Granate SCI Multi Income Fund
This fund aims to deliver consistent positive returns above money market rates over periods of 18 months and longer. The explicit goal is 1% above prevailing market cash rates with no negative returns over rolling three-month periods.
To generate higher returns than money market rates, the fund takes on moderate risk. This is done by investing in a diverse range of income-generating investments that typically have a longer time to maturity than money market investments. We manage this risk by doing thorough research on all instruments in which we invest. These may include cash, government bonds, corporate bonds, inflation-linked bonds, listed property or preference shares.
This fund is suitable to investors who require consistent returns above money market rates with minimal downside risk, and who do not require regular liquidity.
