Ashburton Investments is a new generation investment manager which is focused on placing our clients at the centre of our thinking. We are the asset management business of the FirstRand Group. By providing investors with access to more – more sources of return and a strict focus on managing volatility and risk - we are able to generate sustainable risk-adjusted returns for investors despite market uncertainties. By tapping into the skills and capabilities of the broader FirstRand Group in South Africa and international markets, Ashburton Investments is able to leverage a broad range of investment opportunities that are not typically accessible to investors. It positions us as an agent of change in a new investment reality to help more people to invest, and to invest more efficiently. By partnering with us, investors have access to a new generation investment manager with the backing of a large parent company, innovative investment solutions and a long track record of excellence. Ashburton Investments is signatory to the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment (UNPRI) and are members of the Aspen Network for Development Entrepreneurs (ANDE). Ashburton Investments’ Impact Investing team focuses on investments into the unlisted space, and with particular emphasis on high social impact investing. This team focuses on credit based investments that have a positive socio-economic impact within Sub-Saharan Africa. A careful, yet innovative approach is maintained to identify and manage fixed income investment opportunities that offer both a financial return as well as an intentional and measurable positive social impact.
