Alexforbes Delivers Continued Growth

Loading player...
South Africa’s largest integrated financial services provider, Alexforbes, has reported another solid set of interim results signalling that its strategic reset is paying off. Operating income jumped 9% to R2.3 billion, while normalised profit from operations climbed an impressive 18%. With assets under management and administration now sitting at R696 billion up 23% the group continues to cement its position as a trusted destination for long-term retirement and investment solutions.

CEO Dawie de Villiers joins us to unpack what’s driving this momentum from strong institutional and retail flows, to industry recognition as SA’s top asset consultant and multi-manager. We also explore how Alexforbes is using its 90-year legacy to shape the financial future: pioneering sustainability-focused advisory, launching impact-driven investment solutions, and boosting financial literacy for young South Africans through initiatives like the Smart Money Moves e-book.
