We aim to be The Premier Specialist mid-market UK Investment Bank.
Through Investec Investment Banking in the UK, Investec provides corporate and institutional clients with a full range of integrated investment banking services, both locally and internationally.
We aim to deliver ‘centres of excellence’ to our clients by focusing our resources, human and capital, on select geographies, sectors and stocks.
Investec Securities offers:
A distinctive, full service offering across Research, Sales, Sales Trading and Risk Trading in chosen UK sectors.
Research provides the backbone to our full service offering with over 250 stocks covered. It is characterised by a strong ideas bias, challenge of consensus, speed to market and top to bottom market coverage. The recent Starmine award, where Investec was positioned 2nd in UK for accuracy of recommendations and forecasts, illustrates the degree of independent thought and analysis that we strive for.
Sales incorporates specialist company insight based on an average of over 19 years market experience per salesperson. The services offered ensure tailored client delivery based on detailed client understanding. Local knowledge with extensive UK, US, and South African distribution ensures that we can offer international trading services to institutions and corporates alike.
Sales trading offers best execution and the ability to source active and latent pools of liquidity in our chosen sectors and stocks. Our focus on chosen sectors and stocks allows the team to be execution advisers in the investment process rather than order takers – an edge over the traditional waterfront coverage approach.
Risk trading is an integrated component of the business model, providing liquidity through facilitation in chosen stocks and innovative trading solutions. Our market making team makes markets in over 140 stocks.
A service ethic based on experience, partnership, integrity and challenge of conventional wisdom.
Traditional values and innovative investment ideas underpin our offering. We believe that it is only through rigorous challenge of conventional wisdom that we can enable our clients to outperform. Just as we strive to offer sector insight beyond the norm, we also strive to partner with our clients – only through a process of key client selection and subsequent service delivery can we achieve this.
Unique insight into the South African dual listed stocks.
Our South African heritage and current capability, where we are the acknowledged local broker of choice, position us to offer unique insight into the dual listed stocks. Our UK mining, beverages, tobacco and insurance sectors are the major beneficiaries of this South African insight. A consistent Top 3 position by value traded in the SA market gives us a specialist edge in respect of UK trading and liquidity provision in the duals.
