   Measurement                                                                  
                                                                                
Financial instruments are recognised when, and only when, the                
   Portfolio becomes a party to the contractual provisions of                   
   that particular instrument. Financial instruments are                        
   initially measured at fair value, and for instruments not at                 
fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable                 
   transaction costs.                                                           
                                                                                
   Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are                      
measured as set out below.                                                   
                                                                                
   Investments                                                                  
                                                                                
Listed investments are measured at fair value through profit                 
   and loss.  Fair value is determined with reference to quoted                 
   market prices at the balance sheet date, as published in the                 
   financial press at reporting date.                                           

   Trade and other receivables                                                  
                                                                                
   Trade and other receivables  are measured at amortised cost                  
using the effective interest rate method, less impairment                    
   losses. Trade and other receivables are short term in nature                 
   and are not discounted.                                                      
                                                                                
Cash and cash equivalents                                                    
                                                                                
   Cash and cash equivalents are measured at amortised cost.                    
                                                                                
Financial liabilities                                                        
                                                                                
   Financial liabilities, other than those held at fair value                   
   through profit or loss, are measured at amortised cost.                      
Financial liabilities arising from the securities issued by                  
   the Portfolio are measured at the fair value representing the                
   investor`s right to an interest in the Portfolio`s net                       
   assets, i.e. the Net Asset Value ("NAV") of the Portfolio.                   

                                                                                
   Changes in the fair value are included in net profit or loss                 
   in the period in which the change arises and is designated as                
at fair value through profit or loss.                                        
                                                                                
   Offset                                                                       
                                                                                
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the                
   net amount reported in the balance sheet when the Portfolio                  
   has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised                    
   amounts, and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to                  
realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.                   
                                                                                
   Derecognition of financial instruments                                       
                                                                                
The Portfolio derecognises financial assets when and only                    
   when:                                                                        
                                                                                
   The contractual rights to the cash flows arising from the                    
financial assets have expired or have been forfeited by the                  
   Portfolio; or                                                                
   It transfers the financial assets including substantially all                
   the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets; or                         
It transfers the financial assets, neither retaining nor                     
   transferring substantially all the risks and rewards of                      
   ownership of the asset, but no longer retains control of the                 
   assets.                                                                      

   A financial liability is derecognised when and only when the                 
   liability is extinguished, that is, when the obligation                      
   specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or has                    
expired.                                                                     
                                                                                
   On derecognition of a financial instrument in its entirety                   
   (or part thereof), the difference between the carrying amount                
and the sum of the consideration received (including any new                 
   asset obtained less any new liability assumed) is recognised                 
   in profit or loss.                                                           
                                                                                
Fair value gains and losses on subsequent measurement                        
                                                                                
   Unrealised gains and losses arising from a change in the fair                
   value of financial instruments are included in net profit or                 
loss in the period in which the change arises.                               
                                                                                
1.2 Revenue                                                                     
                                                                                
Revenue comprises interest income and dividends from                         
   investments.                                                                 
                                                                                
   Interest is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking                    
account of the principal outstanding and the effective rate                  
   over the period to maturity, when it is probable that such                   
   income will accrue to the Trust. The effective interest rate                 
   is established on initial recognition of the financial                       
instrument and is not revised subsequently.                                  
                                                                                
   Dividends are recognised when the right to receive payment is                
   established.                                                                 

1.3 Foreign currency transactions                                               
                                                                                
   Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the                     
foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction.                 
   Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign                       
   currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to Rand                  
   at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign                    
exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in                
   the income statement.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities                   
   that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign                   
   currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date                  
of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities                      
   denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair                    
   value are translated to Rand at foreign exchange rates ruling                
   at the dates the fair value was determined. Foreign currency                 
differences arising on translation are recognised in profit                  
   and loss. Where the average exchange rate approximates the                   
   exchange rate used at the date of the transaction, the                       
   average exchange rate has been applied.                                      

1.4 Trade and other payables                                                    
                                                                                
   Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when                
the Portfolio becomes obligated to make future payments                      
   resulting from the purchase of goods and services. Trade and                 
   other payables are short term in nature and are not                          
   discounted.                                                                  

1.5 Cash and cash equivalents                                                   
                                                                                
   Cash and cash equivalents comprise bank balances.                            

1.6 Taxation                                                                    
                                                                                
   Under the current system of taxation in South Africa, the                    
Trust is exempt from paying tax on income or capital gains.                  
   Both income and capital gains are taxed in the hands of the                  
   investors.                                                                   
                                                                                
Foreign dividend income is reflected gross of withholding tax                
   ("WHT"). The income is passed on to the investors, net of WHT                
   so that they can claim this tax as a rebate in accordance                    
   with section 6 quat (1)(d) of the Income Tax Act No. 58 of                   
1962.                                                                        
                                                                                
1.7 Expenses                                                                    
                                                                                
Expenses are recognised as incurred.                                         
                                                                                
1.8 Impairment                                                                  
                                                                                
Financial assets that are measured at amortised cost are                     
   reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether                     
   there is objective evidence of impairment. An impairment loss                
   is recognised in the income statement as the difference                      
between the asset`s carrying amount and the present value of                 
   estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial                      
   asset`s original effective interest rate.                                    
                                                                                
If in subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss                     
   recognised on a financial asset carried at amortised cost                    
   decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an
