Legal Notice, Terms of Use & AI Disclosure

Statutory regulatory notices, FAIS Act disclaimers, AI generation statements, and terms governing the use of this portal.

1. Not a Financial Advisor & No Financial Advice (FAIS Act Notice)

The creator, author, and maintainers of this portal and associated codebase are NOT licensed Financial Services Providers (FSPs), financial planners, brokers, or financial intermediaries under the South African Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act (FAIS Act No. 37 of 2002).

Nothing contained within this website, including mathematical comparisons, portfolio allocation models, tax simulations, or growth projections, constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. All content is generated strictly for general educational exploration, financial modeling, and self-directed personal research.

2. AI-Assisted Development & Data Verification Notice

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automated scripts were utilized extensively in parsing fund Minimum Disclosure Documents (MDDs / factsheets), designing calculation routines, and generating web portal source code.

While meticulous care was taken to extract figures accurately from official management house documents (as at July 2026), AI systems and algorithmic parsers can produce calculation errors, rounding variances, syntax discrepancies, or data transcription anomalies. Users must independently verify all fund figures, fees (TER/TIC), performance metrics, and asset splits directly against official fund prospectuses before undertaking any financial transactions.

3. Complete Independence & Commercial Non-Affiliation

This portal is an entirely independent, open research initiative. The creator maintains NO affiliation, commercial sponsorship, joint venture, marketing agreement, or partnership with 10X Investments (Pty) Ltd, Allan Gray (Pty) Ltd, PSG Asset Management (Pty) Ltd, Coronation Fund Managers, Ninety One, or any other Collective Investment Scheme management company.

All trademarks, registered fund names, logos, and ASISA categories remain the sole intellectual property of their respective corporate owners.

4. Absolute Limitation of Liability & Indemnification

By accessing and navigating this portal, you unconditionally and irrevocably acknowledge and agree that:

  • Zero Liability: The authors and contributors shall have zero liability whatsoever for any direct, indirect, consequential, special, or exemplary damages, capital losses, tax penalties, or lost profits arising from your reliance on or use of this portal.
  • Sole User Responsibility: You retain sole, unmitigated responsibility for your investment allocations, asset rebalancings, withdrawals, or omissions.
  • As-Is Basis: All tools, calculations, and data tables are provided strictly on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis without any warranty of accuracy, timeliness, or fitness for a particular investment objective.
5. Mandatory Independent Professional Consultation

Collective Investment Schemes (CIS / Unit Trusts) are medium- to long-term investments. Value fluctuates and past performance is not indicative of future performance. Different assets carry distinct market risks, currency risks, and liquidity constraints.

Before making any investment decisions, adjusting asset allocations, or restructuring savings, you are strongly urged to engage an accredited Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) registered with the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) and a qualified Chartered Accountant (CA(SA)) or registered SARS tax practitioner.
