Investec Group

Founded in Johannesburg in 1974 as a small finance company, Investec has developed into an international banking and wealth-management group. Its dual-listed company structure links Investec plc, listed in London, and Investec Limited, listed in Johannesburg.

The group serves corporate, institutional and private clients through specialist banking and wealth-and-investment businesses. Its offering includes corporate and investment banking, private banking, lending, treasury solutions, advisory, discretionary wealth management, investment advice, financial planning and stockbroking.

Investec is particularly strong in relationship-led specialist banking, including corporate lending, private capital and structured finance, alongside mid-market M&A and corporate advisory. Its advisory business reports work across acquisitions, divestments, shareholder buyouts, successions and project financings, with an emphasis on sector specialists and cross-border execution.
