Flagship Domestic Funds

Our Sanlam Alternative Income Fund (SAIF) targets dividend-yielding redeemable preference shares for tax-efficient returns. For investors wanting diversity and enhanced yields, the Sanlam Diversified Income Fund of Funds, is a great alternative to a cash fund.

Greater Diversity with our Global Fund

In 2023 we made it easier for investors to diversify their portfolios with offshore exposure by launching our TBI Global Multi-Asset Income Fund.

Our Investment Ethos

We take pride in offering our clients access to high-quality assets and are committed to total investing transparency. We don’t sell pre-tax solutions, but instead offer investors after-tax returns generated from deliberate asset allocation decisions. We follow a cautious investment approach, focusing on risk management and providing stable investment returns while still pursuing growth opportunities.
