To help you make the best investment decisions, the top asset managers from Symmetry Multi-Manager Investments can help you to invest your money wisely. Symmetry Multi-Manager Investments are one of 16 specialist investment providers within the Old Mutual Group. This means that Symmetry Multi-Manager is governed by the stability and reassurance associated with Old Mutual, but is a separate entity able to operate with individual autonomy. Symmetry Multi-Manager was established in 2000. Since then, the company’s assets under management have shown significant growth, over the R40 billion mark.

In South Africa, there are more unit trusts (nearly 1000) than there are shares on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. This makes the South African stock and investment environment a complex one. It is the role of Symmetry Multi-Manager to make this confusing environment more accessible by offering a range of funds to suit any types of investor.

 

What does Symmetry Multi-Manager do?

Rather than placing investment in individual shares, the top asset managers at Symmetry Multi-Manager make the best investment choices for their relevant clients, meaning that clients get the benefit of having multiple asset managers making the right decisions for them. It is up to Symmetry Multi-Manager to conduct extensive research into the individual strengths, performance, philosophy and strategy of asset managers. Symmetry Multi-Manager investments therefore carry lower risk than other investment options.

 

What funds are offered by Symmetry Multi-Manager?

There are two categories of fund available to individuals: Life Funds and Unit Trusts. Both of these types of investments are suitable across the risk spectrum but there are minor differences between the two so it is worth contacting a financial adviser to see which option is best suited to your circumstances.

Invest with Satrix and be assured that with over ten years of experience, that you will receive a good return on your investment.  This is a company who believes that investing your money involves a long term relationship that is based on trust and the delivery of good service. What more could you really ask for when you are looking for someone to take care of your hard earned money?  Their slogan “Own the market” tells a story of how they feel about their customers – they wish to help their client succeed by offering them sound investment solutions which could ultimately lead them to owning the market so to say. It speaks of a kind of domination over the turbulent place that is the stock exchange and shows that they are truly committed to their clients’ current and future investments as well as their potential for growth.

If you are now wondering how you as an individual can invest with Satrix then all you need is either R1000 as a lump sum that is paid up front, or R300 to be paid to Satrix monthly. As Satrix mention on their website (www.satrix.co.za), “In the past, it took a wealthy man to own the top shares on the JSE”, this however is no longer the case as you now have a partner with over a decade of experience to help you on your journey.  Satrix is therefore a sort of security blanket that keeps you protected and provides you with sound investment strategies to help you grow your money from strength to strength. How it works is that they will buy you an investment portfolio of some of the top shares on the JSE. This enables them to spread your risk and in the long term grow your profits for a very small investment amount.

There are also two ways as an individual that you can invest in Satrix:

1. Stockbrokers

A stockbroker is a registered member of the JSE and therefore has the ability to buy or sell through the JSE trading system. This means that if you use a stock broker, they can purchase and sell shares on your behalf. What is more is that they will always try and find a sell order for Satrix securities in the market which can be matched by your buy order.

If you have no idea what I am talking about then let me explain it to you in layman’s terms. For example, if your broker becomes aware of a share on the market that he thinks that  is going to gain value, he will try and sell some of your shares in something else in order to make you more money in the share that is about to take off. Satrix additionally have commissioned official market makers who can provide liquidity to the market for Satrix securities. This means that Satrix is always looking out for your interests and will do everything in their power to turn your initial R1000 into much, much more.   The only downside to this type of investment plan is that you will be required to pay a minimum fee and monthly fee to the broker you choose.

1. Satrix investment plan

The Satrix investment plan is a secure way of making some money from a very low investment. All you have to do is visit the Satrix website, download the application form, follow a couple of other steps that include getting FICA accreditation, and then you are on your way.
