  Our story

  It all began in South Africa in 1991, where we were a small start-up asset manager offering domestic strategies in an emerging market. Over twenty five years of growth later we’re an international business managing approximately $146 billion (31.03.18) for clients based all over the world.

  Our mission is to exceed our clients’ expectations. Achieve this, and we create profitable partnerships between our clients, our shareholders and our employees.

  A truly unique journey. Our emerging market growth story is unmatched. But there’s no magic formula to our success. We believe it’s down to the stability of our team, our enduring culture and our unwavering commitment to our clients.

  Culture

  Our culture is a reflection of who we are as people. Originally a reflection of our founders, like them, it still guides us today. At its heart is ‘the freedom to create’. People work best when they’re free to pursue and express their conviction.

  This approach attracts dynamic individuals – original spirits who want to pursue their passions and interests.

  Such personalities thrive in a non-hierarchical workplace, so we give that to them. We encourage honesty and discussion. And we organise and empower our teams to inspire diversity of perspective.
