SUMMARISED ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010                  
The financial statements incorporate the principal policies set out below, which
have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. 
Statement of compliance                                                         
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards     
Board (IASB), and in accordance with the requirements of the Collective         
Investment Schemes Control Act No 45 of 2002.                                   
Financial instruments                                                           
Measurement                                                                     
Financial instruments, being securities and futures, are recognised when, and   
only when, the Fund 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 and 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 listed bid prices at the end of the       
reporting period, as published in the financial press at the end of the         
reporting period.                                                               
Trade and other receivables                                                     
Trade and other receivables originated by the Fund are measured at amortised    
cost using the effective interest method, less impairments 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 and   
loss, are measured using the effective interest method.                         
Fair value gains and losses on subsequent measurement                           
Gains and losses arising from a change in the fair value on financial           
instruments are included in net profit or loss in the year in which the change  
arises.                                                                         
Offset                                                                          
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount        
reported in the statement of financial position when the Fund 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 Fund derecognises financial assets when and only when:                      
*    The contractual right to the cash flows arising from the financial assets  
    have expired or have been forfeited by the Fund; 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 reward of ownership of the asset, but no    
    longer retains control of the assets.                                       
Financial liabilities are derecognised when and only when the liability is      
extinguished.  This is when the obligation specified in the contract is         
discharged, cancelled or has expired.                                           
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability (or part    
thereof) extinguished or transferred to another party and consideration paid,   
including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised 
in profit or loss.                                                              
Revenue                                                                         
Revenue comprises income from securities lending activities and investment      
income.                                                                         
Securities lending fee income                                                   
The fees earned for the administration of securities lending activities are     
accounted for on an accrual basis in the year in which the services are         
rendered.                                                                       
Investment income                                                               
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss, using the effective rate       
method, taking into account the expected timing and amount of cash flows.       
Dividends in respect of scrip out on loan are recognised when the right to      
receive payment is established.                                                 
Taxation                                                                        
Under the current system of taxation in South Africa, the Fund is exempt from   
paying taxation on income or capital gains.  Both income and capital gains are  
taxed in the hands of the investors.                                            
Securities lending                                                              
The Fund engages in securities lending activities up to 50% of the assets under 
management.  Collateral is held by the relevant lending units.                  
Expenses                                                                        
Expenses are recognised as incurred.                                            
Impairment                                                                      
Financial assets that are stated at cost or amortised cost are reviewed at the  
end of the reporting period to determine whether there is objective evidence of 
impairment.  If any such indication exists, an impairment loss is recognised in 
profit or loss 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 a subsequent year 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 event that occurred after the write down, the write    
down is reversed through the statement of comprehensive income.                 
Finance costs                                                                   
Distributions payable on redeemable units are recognised in profit or loss as   
finance costs under distributions.                                              
Redeemable securities                                                           
All redeemable securities issued by the Fund provide investors with the right to
require redemption for the cash or in specie at the value proportionate to the  
investors` share.  Such instruments give rise to equity instruments for the net 
asset value of the redemption amount in the statement of financial position.  In
accordance with the trust deed of the Fund ("the trust deed") and the Collective
Investment Schemes Control Act, the Fund is contractually obliged to redeem     
securities at the net asset value.                                              
New standards and interpretations adopted in the current financial period       
The following standard is effective for annual periods on or after 1 January    
2009 and early adopted by management in the current financial period:           
IFRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures (amended) was amended in 2008 and    
these amendments are effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1      
January 2009. The amendments require enhanced disclosures about the fair value  
measurements, and have established a three-level hierarchy for making fair value
measurements.  These enhanced disclosures do not have an impact on the          
recognition or measurement of amounts relating to financial instruments.  The   
enhanced disclosures are only required for the period in which the amendments   
are effective and there is no requirement for comparative amounts to be         
presented.                                                                      
IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements (revised) is effective for annual   
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009.  The revised Standard prescribes  
the basis of the presentation of general purpose financial statements,          
guidelines for their structure and minimum requirements for their content. The  
adoption of this Standard will affect the presentation of the financial         
statements for both the current and comparative period, but will not affect     
recognition and measurement of any amounts recognised in the financial          
statements.                                                                     
As part of its annual improvements projects, the IASB has issued its editions of
annual improvements.  The annual improvement projects aim is to clarify and     
improve the accounting standards.  The improvements include those involving     
terminology or editorial changes with minimal effect on recognition and         
measurement.                                                                    
The annual improvements project for 2009 is effective for annual periods        
commencing on or after 1 January 2010.  The Fund has adopted the amendments made
as a result of the annual improvements project for 2009 during the current      
financial year.  These amendments have not had a significant impact on the      
Fund`s results nor has it resulted in the restatement of prior year numbers.    
Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies    
Assumptions and estimates form an integral part of financial reporting and have 
an impact on the amounts reported.  Assumptions are based on historical         
experience and expectations of future outcomes and anticipated changes in the   
environment.                                                                    
No significant accounting estimates and judgements have been applied in the     
financial statements of the Fund.                                               
SUMMARISED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                    
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010                                                 
Listed investments held at fair value through profit and loss                   
The following principle methods and assumptions are used to determine the fair  
value of the financial instruments that are carried at fair value:              
Listed equities                                                                 
The fair value of listed equities is determined using unadjusted quoted prices. 
The Fund therefore classifies the fair value measurement of the listed equities 
in the Level 1 category on the basis that the fair value of the listed equities 
is determined using unadjusted quoted prices.

Creation and cancellation of BIPS FTSE/JSE TOP 40 securities                    
A total of 8 000 000 (2009: 18 334 067) BIPS FTSE/JSE TOP 40 securities were    
issued during the year at a value of R195 818 020 (2009: R342 437 223).         
A total of 9 000 000 (2009: Nil) BIPS FTSE/JSE TOP 40 securities were cancelled 
during the year at a value of R193 957 200 (2009: RNil).                        
Management and administration expenses                                          
The Manager is entitled to a service charge for the administration of the       
Scheme, as determined by the Manager from time to time, based on the market     
value of the total assets of the Fund.                                          
During the 2010 financial year, a service fee of 10 (ten) basis points of the   
total market value of the total assets has been applied, although some of the   
fees have been waived to achieve efficient tracking. (2009: The Manager waived a
portion of the service fees in order to achieve efficient tracking of the

Risk analysis                                                                   
Exposure to investment, index, credit, secondary trading, market and operational
risks arise in the normal course of investment activities in listed securities. 
The Fund`s acceptance of risk is directly attributable to the risks associated  
with any investment in equities.                                                
The objectives for managing the risks associated with financial instruments held
for investment purposes as well as a brief description of the relevant risks and
methods adopted to mitigate these risks are outlined in more detail below.  The 
Fund is regulated in terms of the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act     
("CISCA").  In terms of the Act, the Manager must appoint a Trustee. The assets 
of the portfolio are held under control of the Trustee.                         
Management monitors compliance in terms of the CISCA requirements and reports   
are submitted to the Financial Services Board ("FSB") on a monthly basis.       
Capital adequacy requirements as required by CISCA are maintained by the Manager
of the Fund.                                                                    
Daily pricing of the Fund is publicly available.                                
The Manager`s Audit Committee oversees management`s compliance with the         
Fund`s risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the          
portfolio.                                                                      
The investment policy of the Fund is to track the FTSE/JSE Top40 Index          
("the Index") as closely as possible, by buying only FTSE/JSE Top40 securities  
in the weighting in which they are included in the Index, and selling only      
securities which are excluded from the Index from time to time as a result      
of quarterly Index reviews or corporate actions, or which are required to be    
sold to ensure that the portfolio holds FTSE/JSE Top40 securities in the        
same weighting as they are included in the Index.  However, the Fund is also    
entitled, at its discretion and only on a temporary basis; to employ such       
other investment techniques and instruments as will most effectively give       
effect to the object or the investment policies of the Fund.  The Fund`s        
portfolio will not be managed according to traditional methods of active        
management, which involve buying and selling of securities based on economic,   
financial and market analysis and investing judgement.  The Fund will not       
buy or sell securities for trading purposes or for any purpose other than to    
track the Index as closely as possible.  As a further objective, the securities 
held by the Fund will be managed to generate income for the benefit of          
investors, for instance, income is generated from scrip lending, which is       
applied to reduce expenses and the related tracking error.                      
The Fund`s portfolio will be adjusted as determined by the stipulations of      
the JSE`s Index calculation methodology to conform to changes in the basket     
of securities comprising the Fund`s portfolio so as to substantially reflect    
the composition and weighting of the securities comprising the Index at all     
times.                                                                          
It is recorded that the Fund`s ability to replicate the price and yield         
performance of the Index will be affected by the costs and expenses incurred by 
the Fund.  Costs and expenses may result in the Index not being replicated      
perfectly by the Fund`s portfolio.                                              
The Fund is exposed to the following risks from its use of financial            
instruments:                                                                    
*    Credit risk;                                                               
*    Investment risk;                                                           
*    Index risk;                                                                
*    Secondary trading risk;                                                    
*    Operational risk;                                                          
*    Liquidity risk; and                                                        
*    Market risk.                                                               
The abovementioned risks have been addressed below in more detail.              
Credit risk                                                                     
Credit risk is the risk of loss due to non-performance of a counterparty in     
respect of any financial or performance obligation.  For fair value portfolios  
the definition of credit risk is expanded to include the risk of losses through 
fair value changes arising from changes in credit spreads.                      
The Fund`s exposure to credit risk could be as a result of a counterparty       
transaction failing to meet its contractual obligations.  This could arise      
primarily from the Fund`s investment and securities lending activities.         
In terms of CISCA, the Manager may, subject to the requirements of section 95,  
lend or offer to lend assets included in the Fund`s portfolio within the limits 
or on the conditions determined by the trust deed.  The Trustee of the Fund     
gives authority to the Manager to lend or offer to lend securities with a value 
not exceeding 50% of the market value of all securities included in the Fund`s  
portfolio.  The Manager has proceeded to engage in securities lending in respect
of the securities held by the Fund on this basis.                               
In terms of the trust deed, the Manager may engage in securities lending under  
section 85 of CISCA subject to the following limits and conditions:             
*    The securities lending must be beneficial to all investors;                
The Manager may lend or offer to lend securities with a value not exceeding 
    50 per cent of the market value of all securities included in the Fund`s    
    portfolio;                                                                  
*    The securities that may be lent to one borrower are limited in accordance  
with the limits determined by the Registrar for the inclusion of the money  
    market instruments in a portfolio;                                          
*    Collateral security for the securities loaned must have an aggregate value 
    that exceeds the market value of the securities loaned by not less than     
five per cent at all times and may only consist of -                        
    *    Cash; or                                                               
    *    Other securities; or                                                   
    *    A combination of cash and other securities                             
*    Securities may not be lent for a period longer than 12 months;    
              and                                                               
         *    Securities may not be lent unless subject to a right of recall.   
In terms of the securities lending agreements, it is the duty of the agent      
to take delivery of the collateral assets, any appropriate instruments of       
transfer of instrument of title in respect of a service level agreement         
("the SLA").  Collateral assets and instruments of transfer or title are        
held on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the principal as represented         
by the Fund.                                                                    
The portfolio could be exposed to credit risk to the extent that inadequate     
collateral is held on the underlying assets.  If a borrower fails to perform    
its obligations, the Fund may be unable to recover the loaned securities.       
However, the Manager only engages in securities lending with A-rated            
financial institutions.                                                         
Credit risk is only applicable to the financial assets of the Fund.  The credit 
risk is considered to be low.  The carrying amounts of financial assets         
represent the maximum credit exposure. None of the Fund`s financial assets are  
considered past due or impaired.                                                
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was as follows:

There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives  
of replicating the price and yield performance of the Index.                    
The following factors could impact negatively on the investment performance of  
the Fund:                                                                       
*    Certain costs and expenses incurred by the Fund could cause the underlying 
    portfolio to mis-track against the Index;                                   
*    Temporary unavailability of securities in the secondary market or other    
    extraordinary circumstances could cause deviations from the extract         
weightings of the Index;                                                    
*    In circumstances where securities comprising of the Index are suspended    
    from trading or other market disruptions occur, it may be impossible to     
    rebalance the portfolio of securities held by the Fund and this may lead to 
tracking error; and                                                         
*    Misinterpretation of information on the calculation of the Index could     
    result in mis-tracking of the Index.                                        
Index risk                                                                      
There is no assurance that the Index will continue to be calculated and         
published on the same or similar basis indefinitely.  The Index was created     
by the JSE Limited as a measure of market performance and not for the purposes  
of trading fund index securities.  The past performance of the Index is not     
necessarily a guide to its future performance.                                  
The Index may be adjusted from time to time as a result of mergers,             
re-organisations, schemes or arrangement or other corporate activity            
involving constituent companies.  Any adjustments to the Index will be          
implemented as determined from time to time in terms of the relevant Index      
stipulations, for example, if a constituent company pays a special dividend.    
The adjustments may require the removal of a constituent company from the Index 
and the substitution thereof with a new constituent company while at the same   
time, if necessary, adjusting the base level.  The adjustments to the portfolio 
will be made in such a way that the portfolio will remain substantially aligned 
with the Index level at all times.                                              
Tracking risk                                                                   
The risk that the Index may not be appropriately tracked is managed in the      
following manner:                                                               
*    Check announcements made on the JSE website for any events that may change 
    the Index and rebalance, if necessary;                                      
*    Check corporate actions schedule for any events that may change the Index  
    and rebalance, if necessary;                                                
*    Check the positions report versus what theoretically should be held with   
    the ETF trading application and rebalance, if necessary; and                
*    During daily net asset value ("NAV") calculation process, check if the     
    BIPS40 ex-closing price = 1/1000 of the Top40 Index closing level, i.e. do  
    a reasonability check.                                                      
Secondary trading risk                                                          
There can be no guarantee that the Fund securities will remain listed on the JSE
Limited.  Despite the presence of market makers, the liquidity of the Fund      
securities cannot be guaranteed.                                                
The participatory interests may trade at a discount or premium to their NAV.    
There is no guarantee that the Fund participatory interests will remain listed  
on the JSE Limited.  Any termination of a listing would be subject to the JSE   
listing requirements.                                                           
Operational risk                                                                
If shares in the underlying companies are suspended or cease trading for any    
reason, the suspended shares will not be delivered to a holder exercising its   
right to take delivery of the underlying shares until the suspension on the     
trading in respect of those shares is lifted.                                   
If the computer facilities or other facilities of the JSE malfunction,          
calculation and trading in the Fund securities may be suspended for a period of 
time.                                                                           
Issuers, redemptions and adjustments to rebalance the underlying portfolio of   
shares in the Fund could affect the value of the underlying shares constituting 
the Index and thereby also impact on the value of the Fund securities.          
Liquidity risk                                                                  
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will not be able to meet its financial 
obligations towards investors when they fall due.                               
The approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that the Fund would be able
to pay suitable distributions to investors on a quarterly basis.  All           
distributions are calculated and approved by the Manager.                       
The Fund could also be exposed to liquidity risk in cases where insufficient    
funds are available to effect the necessary changes in Index constituents.  The 
need to employ alternative investment techniques would only arise in the event  
of a liquidity problem, for example, if it is not possible to acquire certain   
securities comprising the Index due to there being no sellers of such           
securities.                                                                     
The Fund securities are listed instruments; that are bought and sold on the JSE 
Limited through a JSE member. The participatory interests can be sold to the    
Manager, which is obligated to buy them from the investor. Market makers will   
attempt to maintain a high degree of liquidity through continuously offering to 
buy and sell the Fund participatory interests at prices around NAV of the       
participatory interest, thereby ensuring tight buy and sell spreads.  Under     
normal circumstances and conditions, the investor will be able to buy or sell   
the Fund securities from market makers.                                         
Market risk                                                                     
Market risk exists where significant changes in equity prices will affect the   
value of the Fund`s financial instruments. The investment mandates indicate     
that the Fund`s portfolio is passively managed and as a result the management   
of the market risk is not possible. There is no guarantee that the Fund`s       
portfolio will achieve its investment objective of perfectly tracking the       
Index.                                                                          
The value of participatory interests and distributions payable by the Fund`s    
portfolio will rise and fall as the capital values of the underlying securities 
housed in the Fund and the income flowing there-from fluctuates.  Prospective   
investors should be prepared for the possibility that they may sustain a loss.  
The Fund`s portfolio may not be able to perfectly replicate the performance of  
the Index because -                                                             
*    The Fund is liable for certain costs and expenses not taken into account in
the calculation of the Index; or                                            
*    Certain Index constituents may become temporarily unavailable; or          
*    Other extraordinary circumstances may result in a deviation from precise   
    Index weightings                                                            
Sensitivity analysis                                                            
All the Fund`s underlying investments are listed on the JSE Limited.  The price 
of the Fund securities is closely correlated to the movements in the Index.  Any
movement or adjustment in the Index, or the underlying constituents of the      
Index, will have an impact on the price of the securities.                      
At any point in time, the market value of a Fund security is expected to reflect
1/1000th of the Index level, plus an amount which reflects a pro-rata portion of
any accrued distribution amount within the Fund`s portfolio.  Therefore, a 100  
point movement in the Index would result in a R0,10 movement in the NAV per unit
of the Fund. Actual market values may be affected by supply and demand and other
market factors, but the ability of a holder to switch out of the Fund securities
by redeeming them in specie for one or more baskets of constituent securities,  
subject to a minimum of 1 million participatory interests being delivered,      
should operate to substantially avoid or minimise any differential which may    
otherwise arise between the relevant basket and/or Index level and the value at 
which the Fund securities trade from time to time.                              
Investment in derivatives                                                       
The Manager may invest in derivatives from time to time.  While an investment in
derivatives will only be employed within the investment restrictions stipulated 
in the trust deed and CISCA, some risks may be associated with investments in   
these instruments. No significant investments in derivatives were used for the  
financial period under review.
