Alternative investments and your portfolio

The key benefit of including alternative investments in your portfolio is to provide portfolio diversification from traditional investments. In addition to diversification, alternative investments can offer enhanced return opportunities and a measure of inflation protection.

Investing for impact

Our investment in Ilangalethu Karoshoek Solar CSP 1

Being part of a sustainable future means so much more than making good investment choices, it means more than just making sure our clients have their best possible financial future, it means making responsible choices that help build a sustainable future for all and future generations.

Our investment in Rise Student Village

Social infrastructure investment has garnered a lot of attention lately. Our focus started on student accommodation and, as interest in these projects increased, we have broadened the mandate on this fund to incorporate other types of social infrastructure such as lower-cost housing and healthcare facilities.

Diversified Infrastructure investments

A strong infrastructure is the lifeblood that keeps countries and economies moving forward. From telecommunications to roads, water sanitation projects and shopping malls in economic hubs that have previously been underserviced, these facilities and structures carry the flow of commerce that help build and develop the communities whose lives they touch.
