Overview

Prescient is a leading quantitative investment management house, launched in 1998. Our core investment philosophy is capital preservation and the management of downside risk.  Our challenge is therefore to construct a portfolio with superior risk/return characteristics relative to the benchmark against which it is measured.  Over time, the process delivers certainty of returns within the risk framework defined by our clients. 

Historically we have mostly managed investments on behalf of pension and provident funds, medical aid funds, other retirement vehicles and corporate entities. This has been expanded to include individual investors.

We offer a range of innovative local unit trusts and three FSB approved global funds, available directly or via a number of linked investment service providers.  Our range of unit trusts and retirement products embraces our philosophy of investment and administration excellence. We offer a comprehensive suite of products to suit your investment needs – all matched with the corresponding investment choice that appeals to a wide range of investor requirements.
