Stanlib offer depth of expertise across a wide range of investment disciplines, managing and administering over R600 billion. Their expertise spans active and passive asset management with single- and multi-manager offerings.
They are proud of our South African heritage and the legacies of our founders.
STANLIB was founded in 2002 as a joint venture between Standard Bank and Liberty Life. Standard Bank of SA was formed in 1862 and Liberty Life in 1957. The later establishment of Liberty Asset Management in 1969 is a pivotal milestone and represents the start of one of the largest asset managers in South Africa.
Since their inception, they have grown their capabilities to meet the needs of their clients over time and offer alternative ways to achieve investment growth and capital preservation. In 2009, they established a successful Credit Alternatives business (initially within Liberty) and shortly after our infrastructure capability was formed to enable investor’s access to infrastructure projects within South Africa and Africa. In 2016, they launched STANLIB Index Investments, extending our then passive investment capability. More recently, STANLIB Investment Company are proud to have launched INN8, a truly digital offshore platform.
STANLIB’s achievements and milestones since formation in 2002 continue to shape their business and they remain steadfast in their commitment to protect and grow their clients' wealth and savings over the long term.
