Who is Investec?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Investec was formed<\/a> by Larry Nestadt, Errol Grolman, and Ian Kantor as a leasing and financing company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1980, the firm obtained a banking license, enabling it to expand its financial service offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 1986, the company had merged with Metboard, a trust company, and subsequently listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. In 1988, the company restructured into Investec Group Limited, granting management and staff control, which facilitated its expansion strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firm entered the UK market in 1992 with the acquisition of London-based Allied Trust Bank Limited, marking its first international acquisition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investec strengthened its UK presence in 1998 by acquiring Guinness Mahon and Hambros plc, two prominent merchant banks in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2002, it implemented a dual-listed company structure, securing listings on both the London and Johannesburg Stock Exchanges to enhance its global reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, it demerged its gesti\u00f3n de patrimonios <\/a>business, which was separately listed as Ninety One, allowing the company to focus on its core services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, Investec also agreed to sell its UK wealth and investment businesses to Rathbones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
