Overview of Investec
Investec (comprising Investec plc and Investec Limited) is an international specialist bank and asset manager that provides a diverse range of financial products and services to a select client base.
Founded as a leasing company in Johannesburg in 1974, Investec acquired a banking licence in 1980 and was listed on the JSE in South Africa in 1986.
Since its inception, Investec has expanded through a combination of substantial organic growth and a series of strategic acquisitions. Today, the group has an efficient integrated international business platform, offering all core activities in the UK and South Africa and select activities in certain other countries.
Investec fosters an entrepreneurial culture that is balanced by a strong risk management discipline, a client-centric approach and the ability to be nimble, flexible and innovative. Investec does not seek to be all things to all people and aims to build well-defined, value-added businesses focused on serving the needs of select market niches where it can compete effectively.
