"Today marks a significant step in our evolution. The rationale behind the demerger was to simplify and focus both Investec and Ninety One. As Investec, we remain fully focused on achieving sustainable, long-term growth for the benefit of our clients, shareholders and stakeholders. We also wish our former colleagues at Ninety One all of the very best."
Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the meaning given to them in the Circular.
