Offshore investment solutions

With the updates to South Africa’s retirement fund regulations, collaborating with the right investment partner has never been more important.

Our offering seamlessly combines a local presence with the size, stability, and reach of SEI as a global brand, providing exposure to investment sectors that might otherwise be inaccessible to South African investors.

Why SEI?

Since 1995, we’ve been building actively managed solutions to help South African investors meet their objectives.

What makes us different?

Our position within the South African market is somewhat unique.

Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) accreditation: Level 2 Contributor

With B-BBEE accreditation today a requirement for many public retirement funds, we’re proud to have achieved Level 2 Contributor status. Very few offshore managers have a local presence, let alone B-BBEE accreditation.

Local presence, global reach

We’ve been committed to the South African market for decades, having opened an office in Johannesburg in 1995. We also provide exposure to investment sectors that might otherwise be inaccessible to South African investors.

A commitment to sustainable investing

As a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investing (PRI), we are committed to enhancing our approach to sustainable investing. To ensure ESG and sustainability factors are considered in portfolio management, we:

1. Perform an ESG assessment as part of manager research to develop a deeper understanding of managers’ capabilities
2. Require that all managers consider material financial and non-financial risks as part of their investment process
3. Conduct effective and independent risk oversight
4. Strive to act as good stewards of assets through shareholder engagement and proxy voting

Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) are generally medium to long term investments and investors may not get back the full amount invested. The value of participatory interests or the investment may go down as well as up and past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. SEI does not provide any guarantee either with respect to the capital or the return of an SEI UCITS Fund. The SEI UCITS Funds are traded at ruling prices and can engage in borrowing and scrip lending. A schedule of fees and charges and maximum commissions is available upon request from SEI. The SEI UCITS Funds invest in foreign securities. Please note that such investments may be accompanied by additional risks such as: potential constraints on liquidity and the repatriation of funds; macroeconomic, political/emerging markets, foreign currency risks, tax and settlement risks; and limits on the availability of market information. The UCITS may be de-registered for sale in an EEA jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of the UCITS Directive. For full details of all of the risks applicable to the SEI funds, please refer to the Risks highlighted in the relevant fund prospectus.
