Sanlam Investment Management (SIM)

Building Wealth. Building Prospects. Building Lives.
A Truly South African Investment Manager

With R240 billion in assets under management at the end of 2008, Sanlam Investment Management (SIM) is one of the giants in the South African investment management industry.

SIM incorporates the single manager investment platform of the Sanlam group. It forms the nucleus of the Sanlam Investments cluster and has access to the comprehensive skills and capabilities that are available from the other businesses within the cluster.

We are structured as a multi-specialist boutique asset manager. This enables SIM to cater for a wide range of investment solutions, providing traditional and alternative investment management services for collective investments, life-pooled products and segregated portfolios for third party institutional and retail clients as well as the Sanlam group.

Actively managed mandates follow our unique pragmatic value philosophy. We underpin this philosophy with a research culture and a robust and consistent investment process which is aided by state of the art Decision Support Systems (DSS). Furthermore, with one of the biggest research teams in the country, we ensure maximum leverage for our specialist teams and demonstrable support for our business model and investment platform.

Our international affiliates are Octane - based in Zurich, Luxemborg, Johannesburg and Cape Town, and Sanlam International Investment Partners (SIIP). We also have a dedicated presence in Namibia through our subsidiary Sanlam Investment Management Namibia (Pty) Limited and in Botswana, Kenya, Zambia, Nigeria and India through SIM Emerging Markets.
