GraySwan Investments is a truly independent, owner-managed, multi-boutique investment and risk advisory company formed in August 2010.

We provide a comprehensive range of investment and risk advisory services to institutional investors (such as retirement funds, corporate investors and family offices) and private individuals. We currently provide such services on retirement fund assets in excess of R14 billion.

We are not affiliated with any multi-manager, investment platform, investment manager or brokerage entity and we do not market or sell any investment products. We do not earn any commissions or any income from any life insurer, investment manager, stockbroker, custodian or financial product or service provider to any of our retirement fund clients. We solely earn our income from our retirement fund clients, which pay us in respect of our non-discretionary investment advisory and monitoring services. We are therefore independent and provide impartial investment advice to our clients.

Our high conviction advice is proactive, intelligent, transparent, forward-looking and value-for-money. We wish to earn our fees, not take or demand them.

Our global mindset and 360-degree perspective empowers and equips our clients to identify investment strategies and solutions that are fit for purpose for the long term. Our service is bespoke to each client's unique needs.

Our strength is our extensive investment and risk advisory as well as investment management experience. This experience has been gained by working with most of the largest institutional investors as well as many mid-sized and smaller retirement funds in South Africa over the past fourteen years.

The boutique owner-managed structure of the company allows us flexibility to adapt to a new generation of clients that are more demanding and more professional and to develop aligned relationships with them. We are passionate about what we do. How you are towards your beneficiaries is how we are towards our clients. We believe our contribution to our clients will be not only observable, but also measureable.

To strengthen and broaden our value proposition, we formed Reportfolio. Reportfolio is a division of GraySwan Investments and is specifically targeted at investors who simply require quantitative insights for decision making. We have found that many investors do not require qualitative advice and simply requires an objective sounding board for their investment decisions. Reportfolio provides independent, transparent, evidence based and, most importantly, unique analytical reports and analyses to retirement funds and institutional investment decision makers.
