STANLIB Multi-Manager was established in 1999 and is the centre of excellence for multi-managed solutions within STANLIB. The investment team, led by Chief Investment Officer Joao Frasco, consists of an experienced team with a diverse set of investment skills. We have offices in Johannesburg and London, and currently have mandates in excess of R90 billion under stewardship. STANLIB Multi-Manager Funds are designed to deliver superior investment returns more consistently than through a single asset manager or mandate. Our approach allows investors’ to outsource the fund / manager selection decision, which includes the ongoing due diligence of managers and construction of portfolios, to meet pre-defined objectives over time. Risk management is a fundamental component of our investment philosophy and process and is therefore approached holistically. It permeates every part of our investment process, requiring participation and accountability from all individuals involved in the process.

The Fund adopts a multi-managed approach to investing and blends different skilled and experienced active equity managers and strategies (with some passive and risk premium strategies). This is a global-only portfolio and invests in equities (all industries and sectors, and all capitalisations sizes) listed in global equity markets. The Fund provides investors with access to opportunities in global equity markets while aiming to deliver investors with high capital growth over the long-term. The Fund's objective is to outperform the global equity benchmark over the long-term.
