What we do

 
Download our Factsheet

We operate primarily in the long-term savings market. This market is attractive and growing and has changed significantly over recent years. In particular, it's no longer dominated by the traditional with-profits life assurance product.

Today, people all over the world are saving for their retirement against a background of declining state and corporate support. In many of our markets, people are living longer and have higher expectations of an active retirement. They want their needs to be understood and met and they expect choice, transparency and flexibility in the products available to them. Our business model, in which we operate close to the customer, enables us to fulfill those requirements.

Our primary objective as a business is to preserve and grow the money that our customers entrust to us, either directly or through their advisors.

  • Long-Term Savings

    We provide innovative long-term savings product solutions which address both protection and retirement savings needs.

  • Asset Management

    We aim to grow our customers' savings and wealth, whether through active and direct asset management or the selection of funds and managers for customers to invest in.

  • Banking

    We have a majority shareholding in Nedbank, one of South Africa's leading bank franchises, as well as banking interests in other countries in southern Africa and in Sweden.

  • Short-term Insurance

    We also have an interest in short-term insurance through Mutual & Federal, which provides short-term insurance services in southern Africa.

In summary

  • We look after our customers' money well.
  • We provide choice and flexibility to our customers, whose needs change over time.
  • We develop innovative, value-for-money and transparent savings and investment products.
  • We deliver sustained superior investment performance.
  • We are not constrained by product labels, and will provide products which best meet the needs of our customers, taking advantage of local tax and regulatory regimes.
  • We serve our customers by understanding their individual requirements and responding rapidly to these.
