INVESTMENT APPROACH
DESTINE is strategically positioned to assist investors and product owners alike in providing good, transparent and trustworthy service.We have our clients’ best interests at heart, so we take time and effort to individualise each investment portfolio. We respect their freedom of choice in managing their investment portfolio by offering a creative approach to investments.Our clients are able to choose in which market segments they want to invest—whether property, precious metals, money markets or other specific sectors of the economy.DESTINE provides outcome-based investment planning, which will allow our clients to:

  • Benefit from industry specialist knowledge and independent investment teams;
  • Invest by capitalising into any of our asset classes;
  • Choose from a broad range of solutions to meet their specific objectives; and
  • Draw on the expertise of a network of asset managers.

For the sake of financial compliance, our clients are well-informed about the risk profile associated with different investment portfolios. In this way, they are well able to make informed decisions.We follow a double-tier risk mitigation process ensuring the protection of our clients’ money. That is why we favour broad-based, distributed investment profiles with a focus on tangible assets such as property, commodities and precious metals. These investment classes have proven to provide consistent growth over many years.

DESTINE aims to provide financial services for clients from all spheres of society and backgrounds. We want to offer financial services that are affordable and welcoming to the man on the street.We believe the individual investor market is not adequately serviced by the current asset management offerings. That is why we encourage investment and saving plans for all income groups. No investment is too big or too small.In order to achieve this objective, we offer several cooperative investment plans that are used to fund entrepreneurial initiatives. We want to empower entrepreneurs to take their business ideas from inception to maturity.We want to become business-incubators where entrepreneurs can bring their business ideas to be evaluated and funded. In this way, we can encourage and assist them to become good managers of their estate and to invest forward.

Focus on Africa DESTINE wants to participate in changing the perception that Africa is a high-risk investment continent by unlocking her vast, untapped resources.One of the biggest challenges in Africa is the management of money because of a sad history of corruption and bad management. This has caused a very bad perception of doing business in Africa.The answer to this situation is good stewardship of Africa’s resources and a culture of accountability. We want to stimulate economic growth through responsible and ethical asset management. This is also why we emphasise managerial training programs and entrepreneurial skills development.

Focus on Humanitarian Funds While we offer asset management services to a wide spectrum of clients, we specialise in managing humanitarian and social development funds. We believe the world is currently experiencing unusual challenges, which requires special care in managing the provision of basic needs.As a financial services provider, we have a strong sense of responsibility towards community development programs. To this aim, we have identified a number of humanitarian and social development projects in Africa in which to invest. We are also dedicated to donating a sizeable portion of our profits back into community development.

Investment Banking & Management

We support corporations, institutions, governments and banks with strategic advice, raising of investment and loan funding, risk management and investment solutions. We also facilitate merger and acquisition transactions by providing strategic advice, assisting in raising capital and helping to manage risk. We manage the liquidity of the company during the M&A process. This ensures that they have enough cashflow to complete the transaction, perform the merger, and can grow once the merger is realised.

Development Fund Management

We support developers and funders in the management of project funding. This reduces some of the pressures caused by the complexities of project development and allows them to focus on the implementation. It also provides peace of mind to the funders, since we aim to mitigate a project’s risk through efficient financial management.

For many centuries, Africa’s resources were plundered, with little ploughed back into local community development. This has left a legacy of disadvantaged individuals with a serious lack of resources and entrepreneurial skills.As a financial service provider, we believe we have a fundamental responsibility to assist in community development and philanthropic ventures in Africa. To this aim, DESTINE partners with several communities and individuals to uplift the morale of the people in Africa.


Community Development

DESTINE works to advance community development through the following sub-categories:

  • Strengthening financial capacity in disadvantaged individuals through cooperative investment plans. In doing so, we help them grow their savings, improve their credit ratings and improve their financial security.
  • Providing structured entrepreneurial programs for youth and adults so that they can better compete in the African market. We want to empower these entrepreneurs to take their business ideas from inception to maturity.
  • We identify and help help worthy non-profits and charities through grants and gifts.


DESTINE is also involved with several philanthropic initiatives, including orphanages, safe houses, feeding programs, assisted living for the elderly, and other humanitarian aid projects.


Environmental Responsibility

Besides our commitment to develop and strengthen communities in Africa, we also have a responsibility towards environmental sustainability. We are involved in the following environmental responsibility initiatives:

  • Developing renewable energy programs in disadvantaged communities.
  • Providing good potable water in rural areas.
  • Promoting specific environmental projects such as Waste-to-Power.


Since corporate responsibility forms the foundation of the vision and mission of DESTINE Asset Management, a significant portion of our shareholding is held by the Infinite Grace Foundation.
