Abstract:

The persistence of performance of the General Equity Unit Trusts and All Unit Trusts that traded in South Africa during the period January 1988 to December 1997 and January 1993 to December 1997, is analysed using three models of performance measurement, namely the Capital Asset Pricing Model, a two-factor Arbitrage Pricing Theory model and a three-factor Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) model developed in this study. The Capital Asset Pricing Model does not explain the relative returns of the different portfolios. Both APT models account for almost all of the cross-sectional variation in expect

Abstract:

This research addresses a gap in the literature on responsible investing (RI) in South Africa by studying the risk-adjusted performance of RI unit trusts available to retail investors. The Sharpe, Sortino and Upside-potential ratios for 16 RI unit trusts, their benchmarks and a matched sample of conventional unit trusts were calculated for the period 1 June 1992 – 31 August 2011. Most of the RI unit trusts in South Africa use exclusionary screens based on Shari’ah (Islamic) law with the remaining funds focusing on social issues, such as labour relations and social development.

Motivated by the growing attraction of the mutual fund industry worldwide, this research seeks to explore the economic benefits contributed by the South African equity unit trust managers over the period from 6 January 2002 to 2 September 2012.

Abstract:

Trusts have long been associated with elaborate tax avoidance schemes, primarily as a result of their flow-through nature. In the National Budget the Minister of Finance indicated that the government was proposing several legislative measures during 2013/2014 regarding trusts to control abuse. At this stage the proposals are vague and confusing, but it is intimated that the conduit pipe principle may be under review as the proposals state that trusts should no longer act as a flow-through vehicle, meaning that the amounts distributed to the beneficiaries will no longer retain their original id

Abstract:

Suppliers have a particular role to play in assuring competitiveness in supply chains. This article investigates the relationship between first and second tier suppliers in automotive supply chains in South Africa. Automotive component suppliers (first tier suppliers to assemblers (OEMS) such as Toyota) should make an extra effort to retain their suppliers (second tier), particularly suppliers of strategic parts, to assure the best value adding by the suppliers in the highly competitive supply chain landscape. To assure best value from suppliers they need to be retained in an active trusting,

Abstract:

Purpose The South African listed property market has changed its legal basis from property loan stock companies and property unit trusts to adopt the more familiar international structure, real estate investment trusts. The main distinction is how shareholding is structured and investment returns are paid out to shareholders, which results in a different tax treatment. It is hoped that this change would attract more foreign investment, but it is questionable if this is sufficient to convince global investors who, amidst a seeming worsening of the stability in the political and economic environ

Countries that were part of the case study analysis include South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malaysia, United Kingdom and Singapore. Very few studies have so far focused on the critical success factors of unit trusts. Although some empirical studies have revealed the conditions under which unit trusts can be said to be viable, it appears the literature on the critical success factors on unit trusts is very scant.

Abstract:

The legalisation of share repurchases in South Africa since July 1999 introduced additional complexity to financial reporting. The repurchasing of shares by subsidiaries or share trusts has led to a new concept: the number of company shares differs from the number of group shares. Ratios like earnings per share and headline earnings per share are governed by accounting standards and circulars, and prescribe the use of the (weighted) number of group shares. No guidance exists on the calculation of market capitalisation.This article aims to determine the methods used by companies listed on the J

Abstract:

Unlike most other values found in companies’ annual reports, there are no accounting standards that prescribe the calculation of market capitalisation and net asset value per share. These two figures play quite a significant role whenvaluing and comparing different companies. It is also frequently used in determining when a company should repurchase its own shares. In South Africa the number of the holding company’s shares can differ from the total number of the group’s shares after consolidation, as subsidiaries and share trusts are allowed to hold shares in their holding company.

This paper was first presented on 19 October 1996 at a joint seminar of the Scottish Law Commission and the Faculty of Law, University of Edinburgh, on the subject of constructive trusts. Although trusts are a distinctively Common Law institution, seemingly incompatible with Civilian concepts of property, trust law has been received in the mixed South African legal system. But constructive trusts have found no place in South African trust law, in the view of the author, rightly so. Much of the work performed by the constructive trust can be achieved through the law of obligations, while the ac

Abstract:

The past decade has borne witness to the transformation of South Africa's natural resources law with the introduction of a new legal concept, that of "public trusteeship", to South African jurisprudence. The concept of "public trusteeship" as it is embodied in South African legislation encapsulates the sovereign's duty to act as guardian of certain interests to the benefit of the nation as a whole. In the quest to demystify the incorporation of the concept of "public trusteeship" in South Africa, this article, as a first tentative step, focuses solely on the public trust doctrine as it functio

Abstract:

This study examines persistence of performance in South African general equity and fixed income unit trusts over the period January 1989 to December 1999. The formation and holding periods studied ranged from one quarter to two-years. Significant persistence was found for most combinations of formation and holding periods for risk-adjusted equity unit trusts. It is suggested that choosing equity unit trust winners from the previous two-years and holding them for the next two-years may be the best long-term strategy to adopt. The fixed income unit trusts showed far less significant persistence

Using Goldsmith’s framework of trust-diminishing police behaviours, this article suggests that indifference, a lack of professionalism, incompetence and corruption on the part of the police, particularly in high-crime areas, have eroded

This has been attributed to inadequate brand knowledge of the bioequivalence of generic medicines. Studies have examined how brand knowledge structure lead to purchase. The contributions of brand relationship builders (i.e. trust and satisfaction), which are indicators of sustainable purchase, are rarely considered. This study aims to adapt Esch, Langner, Schmitt and Geus’ (2006) brand knowledge structure and re

Abstract:

This paper examines the relationship between servant leadership and interpersonal trust in South Africa. The results of this empirical investigation, conducted among low level employees and their managers, revealed a statistically significant relationship between servant leadership and interpersonal trust using Spearman’s r-value of 0.664 (p< 0.05). These findings will be discussed in terms of their implications for establishing what kind of leadership model might work at the Base of the Pyramid (BOP) and how this approach might build trust among stakeholders in the informal economy in Sout

Abstract:

Objective: In South Africa, Black African women between the ages of 15 and 24 years are especially vulnerable to HIV. The heterosexual transmission of the disease is exacerbated by social and cultural conditions that perpetuate gender relations of inequality. Problematic conceptualisations of femininity increase sexual risk. The objective of this article is to examine the ways in which undergraduate university Black African female students make meaning of gender and sexuality on campus and the social processes through which femininities are produced. Design: Qualitative research study. Setting

Abstract:

Over the years, the South African retirement fund industry has experienced major regulatory changes. These changes were aimed at imposing a higher standard of governance on the boards of trustees governing various pension funds. As such, there has been a debate within the retirement fund industry as to whom the board, as the governing and managing body of the retirement fund, is accountable. South African courts and tribunals adjudicating pension fund related disputes and the retirement industry at large seem to share the view that the board of trustees is accountable to both the fund and its

Abstract:

Land politics is of high practical and symbolic importance in much of Africa. South Africa is no exception. Here it is investigated from two angles. First from a discussion of trust and a culture of trustworthiness as conditions for the functioning of modern institutions. Second from an interest in how the administrative level of communities and/or political cultures gives form to the relations between authority and subjects or, more generally, in modernity to the relation between state and society. Western South Africa was chosen for the investigation as there are no homelands. ‘Land-reformed

Abstract:

While a remarkable increase in research focusing customer purchase intentions in the retailing industry is noticeable, there is a dearth of studies that have investigated the influence of hypermarket size on customer perceived hypermarket reputation, trust in hypermarket and customer willingness to purchase in the African retailing context. This study used a sample 151 consumers in the Vanderbijlpark town in South Africa to examine these relationships. The results indicate that the proposed five hypotheses are positively supported in a significant way. A discussion of the academic and manageri

Purpose This paper aims to explore the problematic of public policies and leadership challenges for socio-economic transformation in South Africa. The paper illustrates that policies and laws of socio-economic reform have been introduced in democratic South Africa. However, socio-economic transformation remains a challenge. Lack of trust in the leadership relationships amongst political and economic agents is pointed as a contributing factor. Hence, LE emerges as a leadership strategy to help mitigate the problem.
