An essential pillar of Investec’s operating philosophy is that it does not seek to be all things to all people. The group’s core philosophy has been to build well-defined, value-added businesses focused on serving the needs of select market niches where the group can compete effectively. The group has concentrated on building business depth as opposed to breadth, enhancing and expanding its position in its principal businesses, namely:
- Asset Management
- Private Wealth
- Property Activities
- Private Banking
- Investment Banking
- Capital Markets
The areas are effectively managed as autonomous global business segments, enabling them to remain focused on trends and dynamics within their particular industries. Notwithstanding, as a result of the inter-related nature of their target markets and activities, a strong interaction takes place between each business to ensure clients benefit as a whole from dealing with the broader Investec group. Supplementing the group’s services is a common thrust consisting of the group’s culture, mission and philosophies.This helps the business segments across the jurisdictions to operate as an integrated network.
