Our purpose is to create enduring worth - living in society, not off it.
Whether you’re building your business, growing your family, or creating your legacy, we take the time to understand your potential and bring our years of experience to bear in helping you to achieve it. Through deep client relationships built on mutual trust, we help to make the extraordinary possible.
This approach has defined us ever since our founding in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1974. It’s a philosophy that extends to every facet of our business.
We call it ‘Out of the Ordinary’
Strong partnerships and understanding are essential to the creation of enduring worth.
It is staffed by 8,500 employees across its core geographies of the UK and South Africa, along with other locations across the globe. But the beliefs upon which we were founded remain as relevant and vital today as they were when we first opened our doors as a small finance company almost five decades ago.
We believe in long-term relationships built on mutual trust, open and honest dialogue and cast-iron integrity.
We thrive on energy, ambition and outstanding talent. We are open to fresh thinking. We believe in diversity and respect for others.
We are committed to genuine collaboration and unwavering dedication to our clients’ needs and goals.
We collaborate unselfishly in pursuit of group performance, through open and honest dialogue – using process to test decisions, seek challenge and accept responsibility.
Our journey of organic growth and strategic acquisitions is something that sets us apart - from a small finance company in South Africa in 1974 to an international organisation.
A unique balance of tradition and modernity.
We are Investec. We are Out of the Ordinary.
