Backed by a multi-billion-rand asset base across leading local and international platforms, i² empowers authorised financial advisors with transparent, expertly managed and truly independent investment solutions.

The heart of i²
i² is driven by a highly qualified and experienced team dedicated to delivering exceptional investment management. Our investment committee comprises three independent experts who provide objective oversight and strategic guidance.
The company’s leadership includes a Managing Director and a Chief Investment Officer, supported by a skilled Operations Head and a dynamic Business Development Manager. Our administrative support professionals ensure seamless client service and operational efficiency.
Together, this multidisciplinary team brings deep industry expertise and a strong commitment to independent, client-focused investment solutions.
A strong culture
Transparent, engaging, supportive, client and customer focused, positive and progressive. We are a company that’s not only client-focused but also employee-focused. We ensure a positive, inclusive work environment where everyone is encouraged to share new ideas and participate in the decision-making process.
The value is unmatched
i² primarily serves independent financial advisors who require robust, transparent and professionally managed investment solutions for their clients. We understand the unique needs of advisors – balancing high-quality investment outcomes with efficiency, independence, trust and client relationships, and have built our offering specifically around these priorities.
Our value proposition is centred on complete independence, ensuring that advisors can confidently offer unbiased investment solutions. We provide a comprehensive range of cost-effective local and offshore solutions, constructed and managed using robust and tried and tested investment processes. These solutions are available, in the same format where possible, across South Africa’s largest and most recognisable investment platforms, ensuring ease of access, seamless integration and operational flexibility for advisors and their clients.
To further support our advisor partners, we offer the opportunity to join our quarterly investment committee meetings. This transparent, open-door approach allows advisors to gain valuable insight into our decision-making processes, engage directly with our investment professionals, ask questions and deepen their understanding of portfolio positioning and market dynamics.
The value proposition is enhanced by the provision of an industry-leading technology platform that is designed to support and assist the advisor in the drafting of proposals and in management of regulatory reporting and compliance requirements.
Strategically sound
i²’s core strategy centres on constructing diversified, high-quality local and offshore investment solutions that are aligned to clearly defined risk profiles and investment objectives. Through our investment process, we blend active and passive strategies and apply a rigorous fund selection process to ensure our investment solutions remain both competitive, cost-effective and resilient through changing market cycles.
A key strategic pillar is our commitment to complete independence. Free from product bias or distribution influence, we select only those managers and instruments that best serve client outcomes – an industry trait identified as critical for effective discretionary fund management.
This objective, unbiased process allows us to remain fully aligned with advisors and to adapt portfolios proactively as market conditions evolve. Our over-arching objective is straightforward: to provide consistent, professionally managed portfolios that support advisors in delivering superior outcomes.
Through disciplined oversight, open communication and continuous research, we strive to ensure that every portfolio reflects both global best practice and the evolving needs of South African investors.
