In recent years, rapid developments in technology – combined with changes to the socio-economic environment – have pushed investment management to the forefront of social and economic change. The need for increased and sustainable long-term investment returns at lower costs is an important part of this change, and has hastened the need for a new breed of asset manager to meet these increasingly-stringent requirements

 

We create index-based investment products and systems and/or technology solutions for institutional-, semi-institutional- and retail clients. Our products and solutions are enhanced by shedding all the unnecessary, invisible and unfair fees that investors are often charged.

Index Solutions was established in late 2011 in response to South Africa’s need for low-cost investment products and solutions.
