About Us

It is our belief and observation that the South African investment industry is transforming at an unsatisfactorily slow pace. A cohort of concerned stakeholders, led by asset owners (Retirement Funds), have been motivated to understand if there is a need for a strategic re-think on how transformation initiatives should be approached in order to accelerate meaningful transformation across the investment industry.

Specifically, it is recognised that unity in the industry is a critical pillar in driving meaningful transformation. There is a need for a united view on transformation and how it should be achieved. An important part of this initiative, therefore, is to harness the power of the collective in order to have impact and to drive the changes needed.

The underlying belief is that there is a need for a collective, collaborative and united effort and voice to drive sustainable and urgent transformation across the investment industry. These observations emanated from an industry town hall meeting held in March 2019 and from there, this movement was formalized over the past 5 years.
