Banking is about trust. Ownership and partnership are evident in our client interactions.

Fani Titi, Investec Group CEO

Our purpose is to facilitate the creation and management of wealth.

We provide financial products and services, imbued with a personal approach, to a select client base in two principal markets: South Africa and the UK, as well as certain other countries. Investec was founded in South Africa in 1974 and entered the UK in 1992. In 2002, the group implemented a dual listed company structure with listings on the London and Johannesburg Stock Exchanges. In March 2020, the Asset Management business was demerged and separately listed as Ninety One.
Today Investec employs more than 8,700 people worldwide. We focus on delivering distinctive profitable solutions for our clients in these core areas of activity: international banking, investments and wealth management services.

Our values

Investec partners with private, institutional and corporate clients to offer international banking, investments, and wealth management services. We are driven by a commitment to our core philosophies and values.

  • Integrity

    We believe that what distinguishes us are the long-term relationships we build with our clients, based on open and honest dialogue and cast-iron integrity.

  • Distinctive performance

    Energy, ambition and outstanding talent are what drive us. Through meritocracy, respect and openness to fresh thinking, we stimulate extraordinary performance in our people.

  • Client focus

    We offer client service, not customer support – and create strategies and services designed around your needs and goals, not ours.

  • Entrepreneurial spirit

    Our unique history and evolution are testimony to what drives us. This entrepreneurial spirit is something our clients tend to share.

Our history

Our journey is something that sets us apart - from a small finance company in South Africa in 1974 to an international organisation.
