CHANGE IN ISSUER NAME AND PORTFOLIO DETAILS
Unitholders are hereby informed of the updated issuer name and portfolio details which will be
effective as from Tuesday, 10 October 2023.
Background
Cloud Atlas (RF) (Pty) (“Cloud Atlas”) recently became a 100% owned subsidiary of First World Trader
(Pty) Ltd t/a EasyEquities (“EasyEquities”). EasyEquities has embarked on a process to align the Cloud
Atlas business with the “Easy” brand and a complete and extensive rebranding of Cloud Atlas’
collective investment schemes business process is currently underway. The re-branding process was
preceded by an application for name changes of the CIS Manager, the Schemes and Portfolios. The
application was approved by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (“FSCA”)
Cloud Atlas has a distinct brand and as part of the business strategy of entities falling under the
broader group, it is intended that there is an alignment of brands within the EasyEquities Group. The
brand realignment initiative will strengthen client perception of brand affiliation with the EasyEquities
Group (“the Group”). This approach will also ensure that clients understand and appreciate the
integration of Cloud Atlas into the EasyEquities Group. This will be a positive benefit to clients and
other stakeholders.
EasyEquities and the “Easy” brand carried by other group entities is a household name in the South
African financial services sector. The brand alignment initiative will assist in instilling trust in investors
who use a variety of products at EasyEquities and within the Group.
