Portfolio Construction Guidelines Sector Stock Limits Asset Maturity Regional Note: 1. RARE’s investment approach is to reserve the right to hold up to 20% of a portfolio in cash if no value can be found. Excess cash will be held in high quality fixed rate notes or 11am deposits (term deposits). It is expected that, under normal conditions, cash will represent less than 5% of the portfolio.
