Investec offers financial services and products with a personalised touch to a specific clientele in two primary markets: South Africa and the UK, along with some other regions. Investec originated in South Africa in 1974 and expanded to the UK in 1992. In 2002, the company adopted a dual-listed company structure, with listings on both the London and Johannesburg Stock Exchanges. Notably, in March 2020, the Asset Management business became a separate entity and was listed as Ninety One.
