Old Mutual Investment Group (SA) (OMIGSA) is a multi-boutique investment house that encompasses all the investment businesses in the South African Old Mutual Group.
OMIGSA comprises twelve investment boutiques, all of which are performance driven, independent and offer a focused range of products and capabilities to meet different client needs.
Each boutique focuses on its own specialist investment area and is managed by a team of highly competent and experienced investment professionals.
The boutique structure ensures that the focus and interests of the investment professionals are aligned with those of their clients. With their personal income dependent on keeping and attracting clients, the investment managers only do well when they deliver performance.
In this entrepreneurial environment, each boutique team makes independent investment decisions. They are driven to deliver exceptional investment performance (alpha) in their specific niche area by investing with conviction as opposed to running with the herd. In addition, these smaller, highly focused boutiques are remarkably nimble and possess the critical ability to react to market information with agility and to seize market opportunities quickly.
The independence of investment professionals in OMIGSA is not measured by investment decision-making alone. With investment professionals sharing in the profits in the boutiques, they are able to make the critical business decisions that will drive these boutiques forward, engaging with clients, determining their own pricing and making sure they set appropriate capacity limits to their products to continue meeting objectives.
The result is a culture that encourages innovation, empowerment and accountability. Because of this, OMIGSA will continue to attract, retain and motivate the industry's top investment talent.
