South African Investment Management Outlook

The investment management (IM) industry in South Africa has grown significantly in recent years, driven by a combination of social and economic factors, along with the maturation of the regulatory landscape. South Africa’s market infrastructure and the regulatory environment for the industry are widely considered world-class and continue to evolve. Collectively, this has resulted in a more competitive environment, better products, and a safer environment for clients.
