Investec plc and its subsidiaries’ approach to tax
The Investec group (comprising Investec plc and Investec Limited and their subsidiaries) is an international specialist bank and wealth and investment manager. In July 2002, the Investec group created a dual listed companies structure (DLC) listed in London (Investec plc) and Johannesburg (Investec Limited). In terms of this DLC structure, Investec Limited is the controlling company of the group’s businesses in Southern Africa and Mauritius, and Investec plc is the controlling company of the group’s non‐Southern African businesses. This strategy document covers Investec plc and its subsidiaries (“Investec plc”).
BEE Rating
BEE Rating
Investec Limited has been rated a level 2 BEE contributor for the financial year ended 31 March 2022. For the prior four years, the Company was rated a level 1 BEE contributor. The reason for the drop in the rating is that the Financial Sector Transformation Council (FSTC) has declined the Company’s application for exemption from the access provisions (financial inclusion) contained in the Financial Sector Code. Given Investec’s business model, the Company has been granted this exemption since 2006. Investec is engaging with the FSTC to resolve the matter.

Gender pay gap reporting is part of the UK Government’s strategy to make greater advances in addressing the disparity of earnings between men and women over their careers.
