Application of governance principles
The Fund is committed to the highest level of corporate governance, maintains a firm focus on upholding the highest standards of corporate governance and is fully committed to the principles and practices that are contained in the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) Pension Fund Circular No.130 (PF130), other codes such as the Code for Responsible Investing in South Africa (CRISA) and King IV.
Good corporate governance requires continuous review of processes, systems and documents for relevance, effectiveness and compliance.

This assurance is provided in accordance with a combined assurance model providing for the review of the Fund’s system of internal control and risk management, including the design, implementation and effectiveness of internal financial controls.
