At Ashburton Investments, we believe that capital has a role to play beyond financial returns. It has the power to create opportunity, unlock potential and shape a more inclusive future.
As part of our 2026 Ashburton Charity Initiative, we are proud to partner with the AEC Foundation to support high performing learners from under resourced communities, helping to bridge the gap between academic potential and access to quality education.
We're turning Investment into Impact
On 30 June 2026, all fees and profits generated from participating client investments that remain invested until financial year end will be donated in full to this initiative, at no additional cost to our clients.
Through these contributions, we are sponsoring three exceptional high school learners from Alexandra, enabling them to attend a private school in Sandton during their critical schooling years.
This initiative is built on a simple but powerful idea: When ability meets opportunity, futures are transformed.
Meet the Learners
Through our partnership with the AEC Foundation, three high potential learners have been identified to benefit from this programme.
- Owami is a determined and outgoing learner with a strong academic record, balancing challenges with resilience and a clear commitment to personal growth.
- Amanda is a disciplined and motivated learner who consistently performs at a high level, with a strong ability in problem solving and creative thinking.
- Precious is a focused and aspirational learner with an excellent academic track record and a clear vision for her future, driven by a strong sense of purpose.
Each of these learners reflects the spirit of this initiative. Talent, ambition and untapped potential. Your continued investment helps create an environment where they can thrive.
Why Education
Access to quality education remains one of the most powerful drivers of long term social and economic mobility. For many talented learners, opportunity is limited not by ability, but by access.
Through this partnership, we aim to:
- Provide access to high quality private education
- Support continued academic excellence
- Create meaningful pathways for long term success
- Build a connection between potential and opportunity
How Our Clients Make It Possible
What makes this initiative unique is its simplicity.
By choosing to remain invested with Ashburton until the end of the financial year, our clients directly contribute to this education programme without any additional cost or action required.
It is a collective effort where each investment plays a role in creating real world impact.
A Shared Impact
This initiative reflects our belief in responsible investing and our commitment to making a meaningful difference.
We are proud to partner with our clients in helping to open doors to brighter futures while maintaining the dignity and privacy of the individuals we support.
