ANNUAL INVESTOR REPORT
For the year ended 31 December 2023
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
It is my pleasure to present the annual report of the Manager, the 10X Collective Investment Schemes (previously CoreShares
Collective Investment Scheme) and 10X Exchange Traded Fund Scheme (previously CoreShares Index Tracker Collective
Investment Scheme) (the 'Schemes') and their respective portfolios for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Market Review
The year began with global inflation moderating after reaching its highest levels in over 40 years, initiating one of the most
aggressive interest rate hiking cycles seen in four decades. Such rapid rate hikes typically lead to disruptions, and this time,
they resulted in the failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and other regional banks, culminating in the downfall of Credit
Suisse. However, swift intervention from central banks, coupled with an infusion of liquidity, quickly stabilized the markets
and prevented broader contagion.
Simultaneously, the excitement surrounding AI advancements, particularly with the public release and adoption of Chat-GPT,
propelled US equity markets to new heights. The moderation of commodity prices, which had previously fueled global
inflation, had adverse effects on South Africa's fiscal outlook, exerting negative pressure on the Rand and local bonds.
In Q3, global financial conditions tightened as the yield on US government bonds surpassed 5%, weighing down growth
assets. However, a dovish central bank meeting prompted the market to anticipate an aggressive interest rate-cutting cycle,
boosting global risk assets and concluding the year on a strong note.
Given the Rand's depreciation throughout the year, offshore assets outperformed local assets in 2023. Returns across asset
classes were strong, ranging from 6.9% for SA inflation-linked bonds to over 33% for developed market equities. This saw
pleasing returns across our unit trust range, despite the negative news flow and on the back of soft market returns in 2022.
This underscores the importance of maintaining a long-term investment horizon and staying invested through market cycles
to meet investment goals.
Overview of the funds:
In December 2022, CoreShares Holdings (Pty) Limited and its subsidiaries including CoreShares Index Tracker Managers
(RF) Pty Limited were acquired by 10X Investments (Pty) Ltd. Following the acquisition, a project to amalgamate and
restructure funds managed under the CoreShares Collective Investment Scheme and the 10X Collective Investment Scheme
was undertaken in October 2023. As a result of the amalgamation, various funds moved between the two schemes and
management companies, and as such, were seen to be closed in one scheme and opened in the other. The following funds which
were previously managed under the CoreShares Collective Investment Scheme were closed, and are therefore not considered
a going concern under the 10X Collective Investment Scheme:
1. CoreShares OutAggressive Index Fund
2. CoreShares OutCautious Index Fund

Comment
Despite significant operational change during the year, it is pleasing to see the growth across our fund range underscoring the
positive contribution 10X is making to the local savings and investments market. As a board and management team we remain
positive and steadfast as we aim to grow and improve the company's investment proposition and our role within the industry.
There were no circumstances during the year which affected the financial affairs of the Manager and its Portfolios. All the
Portfolios complied with their respective investment policies and objectives as contained in the supplemental deeds. There
were no qualifications made by in the auditor's report on the financial statements. Copies of the audited annual financial
statements 10X Fund Managers (RF) (Pty) Ltd, the 10X Collective Investment Scheme, and 10X Exchange Traded Fund
