(1)If at the time, whether before or after the commencement of this Act, when a portfolio was first formed under a collective investment scheme, no period was fixed for the duration of that portfolio, the manager, trustee or custodian may, on application to the registrar and subject to such terms and conditions as he or she may determine, wind up that portfolio at any time.

 

(2)Despite subsection (1), any competent division of the court may, on the application of a manager, trustee or custodian, order any such portfolio to be wound up if the court is satisfied that to do so would be in the interest of investors in that portfolio.

 

(3)Upon the winding-up of a portfolio in terms of this section the manager must under the control and supervision of the trustee or custodian realise all the assets of such portfolio as soon as possible having regard to the interest of investors, but the manager incurs no liability by reason of the exercise in good faith of its discretion as to the time of realisation of any assets unless the discretion is exercised in a grossly negligent manner.

 

(4)The net proceeds of the realisation of such assets must be deposited in the trust account referred to in section 105 and must under the control and supervision of the trustee or custodian be distributed by the manager or the trustee or custodian as the case may be, amongst the investors and the manager in proportion to their respective participatory or other interests in the portfolio.

 

(5)Pending the realisation of the assets in such winding-up the manager, trustee or custodian must on behalf of the collective investment scheme collect all income accruals in respect of such portfolio and must deposit and distribute the amounts collected in the manner prescribed in subsection (4).

 

(6)Despite the provisions of the Companies Act, 1973 (Act No. 61 of 1973), this section and sections 103 and 104 of this Act must be applied to the winding-up of a portfolio of an open-ended investment company and none of the assets of a portfolio administered by such a company may be utilised for the payment of any claim of a creditor of the company.
