Fully Invested in meeting our clients' needs

We understand that investment journeys are different

Who we are

Ashburton Investments is a standalone asset management company, owned 100% by FirstRand Limited (FirstRand). FirstRand launched us more than a decade ago, to expand their financial service offering.

As an asset manager with a broad mandate - our local and global solutions encompass active, passive, and alternative strategies. Our investment strategies are managed in a risk-aware environment using a responsible investment framework.

The acquisition of new talent and partnerships has allowed us to broaden our capabilities and strengthen our offerings to all our stakeholders. Our recent partnership with Morgan Stanley Investment Management (MSIM) is an example of this.  Although we are known for our solid fixed income and credit track record, we also specialise in multi-asset, equities and global capabilities.

Our Purpose:

Our client-centric solutions rely on our investment expertise to mitigate risk and create wealth. Fully invested has been our brand’s purpose statement since 2018, and it is embedded in everything we do. For us, it means being fully committed to helping our clients reach their investment goals, while being responsible corporate citizens. Through our investment decisions and actions, we support positive social, economic and environmental outcomes.

We have one of the most diverse asset management teams in the country.
