- Developing a Centralised Investment Proposition
- Build portfolios alongside our investment team – with the capability to create specific risk targeted portfolios, whilst respecting the adviser’s business model
- Exclude certain investment vehicles, funds or stocks or apply specific themes to the portfolios
- Regular model portfolio feedback sessions
- Branded reporting, onboarding documentation and access to a dedicated online adviser portal
Collective Investment Schemes
Our fund management expertise is demonstrated through an extensive range of CISs offered to the South African market. These funds are focused client solutions with an absolute return mindset. We are proponents of both active and indexation/passive strategies. We believe that ‘passive’ investing is very much an active decision – given the array of available instruments to invest in. CISs are regulated vehicles and accessible with built-in protection for investors – providing a layer of comfort for advisers.
The purpose of our range is to minimise the compliance risk for financial advisers by managing global and domestic absolute return solutions over defined rolling periods to enable the investor to plan their income and growth expectations while managing regular CGT implications.
All fund prices are available on the Fundrock Collective Investment’s website
Following the acquisition of both IP Management Company (RF) (Pty) Ltd and Boutique Collective Investments (RF) (Pty) Ltd by Apex Group Ltd, the names of the MitonOptimal Collective Investment Schemes will be updated. Details of these changes can found here.

Tax Free
SAVINGS ACCOUNT
The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) is a simple and transparent South Africa-based savings solution. All growth in
the TFSA is completely tax-free. The TFSA allows for both lump sum and debit order investments.
‘Tax free’ means that no taxes apply to investment growth or withdrawals:
• There is no tax on capital gains made
• There is no withholding tax on income received
The TFSA is accessible via an approved CIS with Boutique Collective Investments (RF) (Pty) Ltd
or via a TFSA structured Model Portfolio on the Allan Gray platform.
