Mzansi Investments

“Real portfolios, managed with real accountability.”

The Group's discretionary asset manager — building and managing the investment funds used across Mzansi and beyond.

Overview

What Mzansi Investments does

Mzansi Investments builds and manages the investment funds used across the Group, deciding which shares, bonds and other assets to hold in order to grow a client's money over time. It has no direct relationship with individual clients.

Instead, its funds are made available to financial advisers and their clients through the Mzansi Wealth platform (Prism), alongside funds from unrelated investment managers, and it separately manages dedicated portfolios for large institutional clients such as retirement funds and companies. Mzansi Investments earns its place on any platform — including Mzansi's own — purely on the strength of its performance and fees.

Who uses our funds

Advisers and institutions, not individual clients directly

We don't have our own client-facing product pages — our funds show up inside other businesses' offerings.

Financial advisers

Our unit trusts and model portfolios are available to any adviser through the Mzansi Wealth platform (Prism) — Mzansi Advisors and unrelated independent advisers alike.

  • Unit trust range
  • Model portfolios for advisers

Institutional clients

We manage dedicated, segregated portfolios directly for large clients such as retirement funds, medical schemes and companies — including manufacturing the default and life-stage portfolios used inside the Mzansi Umbrella Retirement Fund.

  • Institutional mandates
  • Segregated portfolio management
  • Mzansi Umbrella Retirement Fund default portfolios.
We have no direct client relationships, ever. Even for institutional mandates, the relationship is a formal investment management agreement, not an advice relationship — if you're a Mzansi client, you'll never interact with Mzansi Investments directly, only with your Mzansi Advisors planner or the Mzansi Wealth platform your money sits on.
How we fit together

We manufacture, we don't distribute

  • We supply Mzansi Wealth's platform. Our unit trusts and model portfolios sit on Prism, Mzansi Wealth's investment platform, competing for shelf space alongside completely unrelated fund managers on equal terms.

  • Mzansi Advisors places business with us, but isn't required to. Our model portfolios are built for Mzansi Advisors' advisers, but advisers can and do use other managers' funds where they fit a client better.

  • We compete on merit, not on Group ownership. Being part of the same Group as Mzansi Wealth doesn't guarantee us preferential placement — our funds have to perform to earn their spot.

  • No Mzansi Rewards relationship. Since we have no direct client relationships, Mzansi Rewards points are earned through Mzansi Wealth or Mzansi Advisors instead, not through us directly.
