Sanlam and Absa have received a regulatory nod to complete a transaction that combines their investment management businesses in South Africa.

The transaction sees Absa exchanging its investment management business, Absa Investments, for a stake in Sanlam Investment Holdings Proprietary Limited (SIH). Absa Investments comprises Absa Asset Management, Absa Alternative Asset Management, Absa Fund Managers and Absa Multi-Management.

The conclusion of the transaction significantly strengthens SIH’s offering through enhanced scale, broader distribution reach and a more holistic range of investment solutions. This further enhances SIH’s position as one of South Africa’s largest black-owned asset managers.

Absa has also entered into a 10-year distribution agreement with SIH, meaning the expanded operations will utilise the distribution networks of both Sanlam and Absa, which significantly broadens market reach for the enlarged SIH.
