Globalisation

“In today’s markets, you don’t have to go abroad to experience international

  • competition. Sooner or later the world

comes to you”

  • Harvard Business Review, March - April

2000

slide-13
SLIDE 13

“The Norm”

As far back as the early 1990s Investec recognised this pending threat and defied the norm by embarking on an international expansion programme

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Globalisation

“Contrary to popular wisdom, companies from the fringes of the world economy can compete against established global giants from Europe, Japan and the United States. What they need is organisational confidence, a clear strategy, a passion for learning, and the leadership to bring these factors together…“

  • Harvard Business Review, March - April 2000
slide-15
SLIDE 15

Globalisation

Over the past eight years Investec has established a presence in 11 non-South African jurisdictions employing over 2 200 people in these areas… …This has resulted in currently over 67% of the Group’s operational capital and 75% of its assets residing offshore, generating in excess

  • f 60% of the Group’s operational earnings

before tax

slide-16
SLIDE 16

The Result...

In light of these developments Investec was recently ranked as the 4th most global bank by ‘The Banker’ (February 2000)
