2.1.6.11 Indicate Re-computation of Fund Prices and Adjustment of Units

This topic provides information on indicating re-computation of fund prices and adjustment of units details.

The fund prices of funds like Employee Benefit Growth Fund are derived based on the forecasted rate of growth. The rates will be re-forecasted in the interim several times and the actual rate of growth is published at the end of the year.

If you choose the option Yes for Guaranteed Funds, the system will:

  • Re-compute the fund prices and adjust the units to the investors based on the re forecasted rates during interim periods and actual rate growth during annual rate declaration time
  • Share the residual units of investors who have left before interim/annual rate declaration time among the existing investors.

Example

Let us assume that a Fund (F100) is launched with the price of 10 ZAR with the forecasted rate of 10% per annum. Consequently, 10 * 10/ (100 * 365) = 0.0027 will be the increase in price till a new rate is declared. Please note that the price used here is an example and not the exact formulae as such.

Day 0 10 ZAR

Day 1 10.0027 ZAR

Day 2 10.0054 ZAR

Day 3 10.0081 ZAR

Day 4 10.0108 ZAR

Day 5 10.0135 ZAR

Day 100 10.27 ZAR

Day 101 10.2727 ZAR

Day 102 10.2754 ZAR

Day 103 10.2781 ZAR and so on….

If an investor invests on Day 2 the transaction will get unitized using the price 10.0054…

Assume these are trades captured on Day 2 @ 10.0054…

Table 2-20 UH ID Fund ID details

UH ID Fund ID Subscription Amount (in ZAR) Units
UH1 F100 10,000 999.460
UH2 F100 20,000 1998.921
UH3 F100 30,000 2998.381
UH4 F100 35,000 3498.111
UH5 F100 25,000 2498.651
UH6 F100 15,000 1499.190

Assume these are trades captured on Day 100 @ 10.27…

Table 2-21 UH ID Fund ID details

UH ID Fund ID Redeems Units Redeems Proceeds (in ZAR)
UH1 F100 100 1027.00 ZAR
UH5 F100 2498.651 25661.15 ZAR

Therefore, the balance of the investors in Fund F100 will be:

Table 2-22 UH ID Fund ID details

UH ID Fund ID Balance (in Units)
UH1 F100 899.460
UH2 F100 1998.921
UH3 F100 2998.381
UH4 F100 3498.111
UH5 F100 0
UH6 F100 1499.190

Let us assume that a Fund Manager revises an interim forecast of 11% instead of 10%. Consequently, all the trades that are unitized during the current fiscal year of the fund will be considered for impact and the units will be recomputed based on the new prices.

Day 0 10 ZAR

Day 1 10.003 ZAR

Day 2 10.006 ZAR

Day 3 10.009 ZAR

Day 4 10.012 ZAR

Day 5 10.015 ZAR

Day 100 10.30 ZAR

Day 101 10.3030 ZAR

Day 102 10.3060 ZAR

Day 103 10.3090 ZAR

After subscription, the adjustment for the investors in F100 will be:

Table 2-23 UH ID Fund ID details

UH ID Fund ID Balance (in Units)
UH1 F100 999.1008 (Difference in units - 0.3595)
UH2 F100 1998.2020 (Difference in units-0.7190)
UH3 F100 2997.3020 (Difference in units - 1.0784)
UH4 F100 3496.8530 (Difference in Units - 1.2582)
UH5 F100 2497.7520 (Difference in Units - 0.8987)
UH6 F100 1498.6510 (Difference in units 0.5392)

The adjustment due to redemption will be:

Table 2-24 UH ID Fund ID details

UH ID Fund ID Balance (in Units)
UH1 F100 99.7087 (Difference units 0.3595)
UH5 F100 2491.3740 (Difference in units 0.8987)

The new/actual Balances are:

Table 2-25 UH ID Fund ID details

UH ID Fund ID Balance (in Units)
UH1 F100 899.3921
UH2 F100 1998.2020
UH3 F100 2997.3020
UH4 F100 3496.8530
UH5 F100 6.3780
UH6 F100 1498.6510

Based on this condition, the system redeems certain number of units from each investor.

Table 2-26 UH ID Fund ID details

UH ID Fund ID Balance (in Units)
UH1 F100 899.3921 - 899.460 = 0.0679
UH2 F100 1998.2020 - 1998.921 = 0.719
UH3 F100 2997.3020 - 2998.381 = 1.079
UH4 F100 3496.8530 - 3498.111 = 1.258
UH5 F100 6.3780 – 0 = 6.378
UH6 F100 1498.6510 - 1499.190 = 0.539

The system will generate a redemption transaction for the above adjustment units excluding the Investor UH5 and will be available for reporting only in case of interim run. If it is on actual rate at the end of the year, the same will be shared with other investors proportionately.

When the next interim or actual run is executed the system will ignore these adjustment redemptions and while adjusting units these adjusted units will taken into account.
