Multi-asset-class investments

Our multi-asset-class investments focus on things that matter the most to you – making sure we maximise the likelihood of you achieving your investment goals.
Over time, we evolved our outcome-based investing philosophy and our multi-asset-class, multi-strategy and multi-mandate investments to match your investment needs. Multi-asset-class investments contain various asset classes, like equities, bonds and cash.

Multi-asset-class investments and your portfolio

Each portfolio range has a life stage progression model, which allows you to switch seamlessly from a more aggressive investment portfolio, with longer-term investment horizons, to more conservative and, ultimately, defensive portfolios in the medium to shorter term.

Our investing philosophy and process

We have developed and over many years evolved a market-leading investment process to maximise the likelihood of you achieving your goals.

Our approach to investing is about placing your goals at the centre of our day-to-day investment process. Central to our thinking is:

  • Constructing portfolios around your goals and time horizon
  • Making sure the portfolios are well diversified
  • Making sure portfolios remain flexible and adaptable
  • Making sure each portfolio has an attractive risk-adjusted return that provides a more consistent investment experience over time
  • Limiting the risk and temptation of market timing

Our portfolio construction process comprises three steps:

Multi-asset-class Blending the right asset classes for optimum risk management at a total portfolio level. We analyse asset classes to comprehend how best to create a well-diversified solution with the optimal asset allocation.
Multi-strategy To enable consistent returns in dynamic market conditions. We identify the most beneficial investment strategies to use (including factors such as investment style, regional exposures, credit, real assets, currency, etc).
Multi-mandate Maximising the specialist expertise in different investment management styles. Investment mandate design and selection (whether active or passive) is the final step in our comprehensive outcome-based investment process.

Outcome-based investing

We place your investment needs at the centre of our investment process so that your financial goals are aligned to your investment outcomes.





Responsible investing

We define responsible investing (RI) as an investment process that includes environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into our process. Issues like increasing regulation, the growing need for risk mitigation and a heightened social conscience can be addressed by integrating ESG factors into our investment process.

Rules and regulations

Our multi-asset-class portfolios are complaint with Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act.

Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA)

We are licensed with the FSCA and comply to the market conduct regulations stipulated by the FSCA.



Association for Savings and Investment South Africa (Asisa)

Our governing body, Asisa, provides best practice guidelines to make sure the investor is the focal point of everything we do.
