Glacier Invest wins at the Citywire DFM Awards

Glacier Invest Citywire Award win

The second annual Citywire Awards took place in Cape Town on Wednesday, 25 October and we are proud to announce that Glacier Invest has won the award for the Best Multi-Asset Worldwide Flexible Performance.

The awards recognise Discretionary Fund Managers (DFMs) that provide the best risk-adjusted portfolio performance while providing the best client service.

The awards were established in 2022 as a first step to addressing transparency in the DFM environment and as a way to set industry benchmarks for DFMs. 2023 marks Glacier Invest’s first participation in the awards and the win is a testament to the fact that we are purpose led, allowing us to provide value to our clients.

At Glacier Invest, we consciously construct solutions that cater to changing client needs. Leveraging off Sanlam Investments Multi-Manager allows us to offer a unique investment philosophy that combines market research, manager research, portfolio construction and portfolio management enabling our clients to achieve their desired outcomes. Additionally, our team of 32 multi-skilled investment professionals bolster our research capabilities and help maintain a disciplined framework. This allows us to design and blend unique solutions based on a deep understanding of each client’s investment goal and how they relate to risk. This means we can provide appropriate solutions that cater to all phases of our clients’ lives during the accumulation and decumulation phases.

We are honoured to receive this award and acknowledge the efforts made by our team. We believe the skill of adjusting portfolios in line with market fluctuations and satisfying investor needs is rare and gives us a competitive edge. We continue to maintain a disciplined framework and process while employing rigorous, valuation-based analyses to understand the complex dynamics of markets and clients. Moreover, we would like to express gratitude to our clients for entrusting us with managing their portfolios and partnering with us. This achievement would not have been possible without their support and belief.

The award is effective 25 October 2023 and full details are available from Sanlam Investments.
