London Stock Exchange celebrates Ninety One’s 5-year listing anniversary and Inspire Women’s Network
Today marks a milestone as we approach our fifth anniversary as a publicly listed company, with dual headquarters in London and Johannesburg. This moment is especially powerful as it aligns with the upcoming International Women’s Day in March 2025, and serves as a tribute to the exceptional energy and accomplishments of our Inspire Women’s Network in London.
Ninety One is an active, global investment manager, with distinctive capabilities in differentiated fixed income and credit as well as specialist equities. Our goal is to provide long-term investment returns for our clients while making a positive difference to people and the planet. We have a unique perspective and approach to the investment opportunities presented by emerging markets and the energy transition. We believe active investing can be a force for good.
Since our founding in 1991, we’ve worked with change, knowing every day demands new focus. The culture of Ninety One reflects who we are as people. It is our shared values and norms that make us. We believe the strength of our culture is a competitive advantage, ensuring a healthy environment for debate. This is the foundation for our pursuit of enduring investment performance and outstanding client service. Above all, our culture embodies our overriding value – to do the right thing.
“As we open the London Stock Exchange today, we reflect on how Ninety One has evolved since our creation in Cape Town in 1991. From our roots in Africa, we have expanded globally, with 20 offices across 15 countries and a team of over 240 investment professionals. As an active, global investment manager, our mission is clear: to deliver superior, long-term returns for our clients while making a positive impact on people and the planet. On this, our 5th anniversary as a listed company, we reaffirm our commitment to our employees, their dedication, and their specialised insights into a constantly changing global landscape. Ahead of International Women’s Day, we also celebrate the women of Ninety One who are integral to our success, and we honour their contributions as part of our ongoing commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion. This market opening marks a significant milestone in our ongoing journey, and the future is full of promise.”
Gareth Penny
Chairman, Ninety One
“As Ninety One marks five years on the London Stock Exchange, International Women's Day offers a fitting moment to reflect on both progress (how far we have come) and potential (the opportunities that lie ahead). In a multipolar world increasingly marked by fragmentation and rapid technological change, our ability to understand and navigate complexity is paramount. Success and excellence in this milieu demands drawing on the full spectrum of available talent. As we honour International Women's Day, I'm especially inspired by how the women at Ninety One have influenced positive change within our firm, across our industry and in the communities we serve. Our clients expect insights and innovation as cornerstones of active investment management. We demonstrate our commitment to this through elevating interconnectedness and differentiated perspectives. Together, we forge ahead in building a better tomorrow.”
