Our purpose is to create enduring worth.
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 seek creative, talented people with passion, energy and stamina, who collaborate unselfishly
We thrive on change and challenge the status quo with courage, constantly innovating and adapting to an evolving world

We pursue diversity and strive to create an environment in which everyone can bring their whole selves
We show care for people, support our colleague and respect the dignity and worth of the individual
