For first-time investors, the obvious option to start off with is with one of the four banks or SAN inves Why Multi Management
The major difference between a multi-manager and a single investment manager is that the former does not actually buy and sell asset classes or securities. It manages the investment managers that do this on their behalf. SAN Investment Solutions' core business centres on
continually researching and monitoring the investment-manager universe in South Africa and globally; to determine the best managers, given different evaluation criteria and investment goals. This research allows the blending of these managers into optimal portfolios, which is done through a unique process backed by proprietary systems and a methodology developed by the company. Typically, historical investment returns are the only information widely available to most investors when selecting an investment manager. Historical investment returns are, however, not a reliable criterion as they provide no guarantee of future returns. SAN Investment Solutions goes beyond the measurement of historical returns, using proven expertise that evaluates investment managers from qualitative and quantitative perspectives to select and blend investment managers to produce investment portfolios that provide a less volatile return stream with improved long-term returns.
