Prescient IJG unit trusts, to suit your needs

Cost-effective savings products designed to deliver certainty over time, managed through the Prescient IJG partnership, from N$1,000 a month.

A joint venture between IJG, Namibia's leading independent financial services group since 1996, and Prescient, a global asset manager established in 1998.

Prescient IJG brings innovative, expertly managed collective investment solutions to the Namibian market, with a systematic, evidence-based approach focused on risk-adjusted returns and capital preservation, not on predicting markets.

A unit trust pools money from many investors and invests it to a set mandate; you own units representing your share of the fund. Each fund suits a particular goal and horizon, from a money-market fund for short-term liquidity to the SA Equity fund for long-term growth.

We also offer white-labelling solutions for other investment managers who do not hold their own management company (MANCO) or unit trust management (UTM) licence.
