We currently offer two levels of security to help safeguard your financial information:
You will be issued an Ninety One ID Number and Internet PIN when you register to use the transaction and statement services on this website. These two items are always issued via two different communication channels, and generally we distributed the Ninety One ID Number by email and the Internet PIN by registered post. This adds extra security should anyone intercept either of these in any way, as they cannot be used independently of each other.
Your Internet PIN will always be shown coded when you type into your screen so that no one can see it.
You must keep your Ninety One ID Number and Internet PIN secret and must take all reasonable precautions to prevent the fraudulent use of it. You must never disclose your Ninety One ID Number and Internet PIN to anyone other than your joint account holder (if relevant). You should not use your Internet PIN for any other purpose. You should not write down your Ninety One ID Number and Internet PIN in a way which could mean they can be understood by someone else.
When accessing the services on this website, you should make sure that your Internet PIN will not be kept in any form (by browser or any other software) in such a way that other users of the same workstation can gain access to the site.
If you think that someone else may know your Ninety One ID Number and Internet PIN or has used them without your permission or if you have forgotten your password you should contact us immediately.
We may send paperless messages (including e-mail) to the e-mail address you have given us. If you want to prevent others from reading paperless messages we send you, you must set up your own password protection on your system at home or work. You may not be able to prevent paperless messages being monitored at work.
You are solely responsible for establishing and applying adequate security systems and procedures in relation to your computer equipment, to prevent unauthorised use of the services on the Ninety One site and for monitoring use of the site in order to ensure that any person using the site is doing so within the limits of his authority.
If you have any questions regarding our security policy, please contact us, using the details provided on this website.
In South Africa, the Collective investment scheme funds has been approved by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) for promotion, distribution and soliciting investments from members of the public in South Africa, by Ninety One Luxembourg S.A. (as the manager) or any other person who is authorised as a financial services provider in South Africa.
The Fund is generally a medium to long-term investment. Past performance is not a guide to future performance and may not be repeated. The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Because of this, an investor is not certain to make a profit on an investment and may lose money. Exchange rates may cause the value of overseas investments to rise or fall. Collective investment schemes are traded at ruling prices and can engage in borrowing and scrip lending. Fund prices and Fund Offering documents including the Minimum Disclosure Documents may be obtained from ninetyone.com.
