Trusted wealth management solutions
Our global offering includes model and bespoke segregated equity portfolios, unit trusts, pooled portfolios and structured solutions. We manage assets on behalf of our clients, and their investment strategies are continually reviewed and adjusted to account for global trends.
Let's talk
We combine our solid and robust investment process to reach our clients’ investment objectives
Our investment philosophy combines thorough fundamental stock specific research, with focused analysis of the global economic environment. This philosophy translates into an in-depth investment process, ensuring we are able to navigate the global investment maze to achieve superior returns for clients. We then leverage off established independent company specific research, which is interrogated by our in-house research division, ensuring congruency with our core investment themes.
Our personal share portfolios
A model portfolio is a type of investment product that enables the investor to gain access to a corporate investment strategy through a personal segregated share portfolio. The investor benefits by gaining access to an investment management structure that would otherwise be limited to products like Collective Investment Schemes (CIS’s). Other than CIS’s, model portfolios offer a measure of flexibility, which the manager can tailor to the investors' needs. Sasfin’s portfolios are actively managed through an experienced investment committee that meets regularly to monitor, manage and plan all factors affecting these portfolios. The oversight structure, through multiple strategic and operational levels, ensures that these portfolios are managed to the highest standards possible. Specialised teams, ranging from comprehensive research to cutting-edge trade implementation, ensures that the investor benefits from a unified approach to target the best risk-adjusted returns available in the market.
Global Multi Asset Growth
Here we aim to achieve objectives over the long-term, using a combination of active and passive strategies, investing in a diversified range of traditional, alternative and real assets globally. All asset classes are fully liquid and include equities, fixed income, absolute return strategies, private equity, real estate, commodities and infrastructure. The portfolios are underpinned by accurate strategic asset allocation and have a predominant weighting to alternative and real assets. The portfolio's growth risk profile is obtained by adjusting asset allocation through our quantitative process.
Global Multi Asset Moderate

All asset classes are fully liquid and include equities, fixed income, absolute return strategies, private equity, real estate, commodities and infrastructure. The portfolios are underpinned by accurate strategic asset allocation and have a predominant weighting to alternative and real assets. The moderate risk profile is obtained by adjusting asset allocation through our quantitative process.

Global Equity
This portfolio has a more concentrated, high conviction (but appropriately diversified), portfolio of listed global equity securities. The investment process combines macroeconomic and fundamental company analysis to determine its preferred sector, region and security exposures. Given the high conviction nature of the portfolio, it may have concentrated exposures to certain sectors and/or regions. Total returns are driven through capital appreciation and reinvesting income.
Domestic Multi Asset Moderate
This portfolio aims to achieve capital appreciation over the medium to long-term, using a combination of active and passive strategies, and investing in a diverse range of traditional, alternative and real assets globally. Underpinned by a strategic asset allocation with periodic tactical shifts, the portfolio has a moderate risk profile, obtained by adjusting asset allocation through our quantitative process.
Domestic Equity
The investment objective with this portfolio is achieved by actively managing a more concentrated, high conviction (but appropriately diversified), portfolio of instruments. Combining quantitative techniques with fundamental analysis, its preferred holdings aim to generate growth higher than the South African consumer price inflation (“CPI”) on a regular and long-term basis. Permitted instruments include ordinary shares, listed property shares, preference shares, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and permitted collective investment schemes (“CISs”), with specific reference to the Sasfin Global Equity Feeder Fund. The portfolio uses a combination of active and passive strategies to achieve its targets.
Innovation
This portfolio seeks to achieve capital appreciation over the long-term, with exposure to various innovation themes including: smart mobility, healthcare innovation, IoT & 5G, robotics & AI, e-Commerce, fintech & digital entertainment, cloud computing & cybersecurity and clean energy.
