There is a dearth of performance statistics available for Financial Services Board (FSB) registered offshore funds. These statistics are calculated in a manner that makes them comparable with the industry-standard statistics (sell-to-sell) as calculated for SA-domiciled funds.

Every care is taken in compiling these figures, and management companies are asked to verify and sign off all underlying data.

These statistics may be quoted provided the source is given as Profile Media Performance Data and that the basis of calculation is quoted. Media partners interested in publishing the full performance tables should contact Profile Media.
