Amplify shines with 13 nominations in fund management awards, backed by stellar performance
Amplify Investment Partners announces 9 nominations in the News24 Fundhub Awards, three Morningstar Awards and a Raging Bull award nomination – backed by outstanding performance
Amplify Investment Partners has reinforced its reputation as one of South Africa’s most consistent and agile asset managers, securing multiple nominations across the industry’s most respected fund performance awards.
The nominations, which recognise outstanding long-term performance and risk management, highlight Amplify’s ability to deliver strong outcomes for investors across income, multi-asset, equity and property mandates but reiterate growth and deepening impact achieved in recent years.
Commenting on the nominations, Amplify Managing Director Wade Witbooi said the recognition reflects the disciplined investment processes and depth of skill across Amplify’s partners.
“This year, we exceeded a landmark R80 billion in assets under management at Amplify, a testament to the trust of our clients and the net positive flows seen across our unit trust and hedge fund portfolios throughout the year,” says Witbooi.
News24 FundHub Performance Awards
Amplify received nine nominations in the News24 FundHub Industry Performance Awards, which reward funds that demonstrate sustained excellence over rolling periods. The nominated Amplify funds include:
• Amplify SCI Strategic Income Fund, recognised in the South African Multi-Asset Income category twice, over three and five years;
• Amplify SCI Defensive Balanced Fund, nominated in the South African Multi-Asset Low Equity category twice, over five and seven years;
• Amplify SCI Wealth Protector Fund, also nominated in the South African Multi-Asset Low Equity category twice, over five and seven years;

• Amplify SCI Defensive Balanced Fund, in the Best Cautious Allocation Fund; and
• Amplify SCI Absolute Fund in the Best Moderate Allocation Fund.
Raging Bull Awards
Amplify’s performance credentials were further underscored in its Raging Bull Award nomination, reflecting both straight performance and risk-adjusted returns over medium- and longer-term periods.
The Amplify SCI Property Equity Fund featured prominently, earning nominations for its strong absolute returns over three years and risk-adjusted performance over five years – a key differentiator in a volatile listed property environment.
“We are extremely pleased with these nominations, which recognise the robust performance of our funds under the expert guidance of our skilled partners. Amplify continues to demonstrate its ability to punch above its weight through the agility and focus of our hand-picked investment teams. These nominations validate our high-conviction approach and show that we remain a force to be reckoned with in delivering consistent, real outcomes for investors,” concludes Witbooi.
