We started with a range of largely South African strategies in 1991. We took our first step internationally in the late 1990s and made the decision to globalise our business. We built up our global strategy offering, believing that the investment world would inevitably become less local and more global. This global approach, married with a footprint in both emerging and developed markets, has characterised the development of our strategies.

We now offer investment capabilities spanning equities, fixed income and currency, commodities, frontier markets, South African equities and multi-asset investing.

We firmly believe in the power of specialisation and that great investments come from bold and well-tested ideas. Our investment capabilities have been created organically by teams with varied backgrounds and extensive experience. By combining complementary skill-sets in this manner, we believe we can create long-term investment insights and sustainable advantage. Investec’s investment teams benefit from a centralised support infrastructure to achieve the best sustainable investment performance we can for our clients. This allows our investment teams to focus their energies on finding the best investment ideas within their sphere of excellence.
