Investment philosophy

At STANLIB, our investment team is made up of focused teams (franchises) of investment professionals who are specialists in their discipline and responsible for managing clients’ assets in their areas of expertise. Each specialist investment team has developed its own investment philosophy and approach to investing. This allows STANLIB to deliver tailored investment solutions to meet diverse client needs.

STANLIB’s specialist approach to managing investments encourages accountability and independent thinking by each investment team with the benefit of collaboration with the broader investment team.

Oversight and governance are provided by experienced professionals, with alignment to our clients’ interests, need for protection and outcome.

The investment teams include: Balanced and Equity, Credit Alternatives, Fixed Income, Infrastructure Investments, Listed Property, Multi-Strategy and Systematic Solutions.

Our specialist investment team structure offers the following unique opportunities:

● Investment team heads have ownership in their teams and are accountable for the performance of their portfolios,

● The Portfolio Managers invest in the funds they manage, aligning their interests with those of their clients,

● Portfolios are not managed by large committees, but rather by small, dynamic teams that are able to build diversified portfolios and quickly react to changing circumstances in the market,

● Portfolio Managers are able to leverage off a broad range of specialist skills enabling them to make informed investment decisions,

● The structure allows for autonomy and ownership whilst still benefiting from the scale of the overall group.
