Flexible Investment Plans

Our Flexible Investment Plans allow you to access your money whenever you need it. We give you the freedom to choose from top local and international funds, managed by leading fund managers. Whether you chose to invest a lump-sum or monthly, locally or offshore, we have a plan to meet your needs.

Investing a lump-sum can help you to save towards a lifestyle you aspire to. For investments of R100 000 or more, for an extra premium you can get a boost to protect you if your funds underperform. Depending on how your funds perform, you get a portion of your boost after five years and the balance after 10 years.
