A multi-manager is a manager of
investment managers. The major difference between it and a single
investment manager is that a multi-manager does not actually buy and
sell asset classes. It manages the investment managers who do this
on their behalf. Investment Solutions' core business activity
centres on the continual research and monitoring of the
investment-manager universe in South Africa to determine the best
investment managers, given different evaluation criteria and
investment goals. This research allows the blending of these
managers into optimal portfolios, which is done through a unique
process backed by proprietary systems and a methodology developed by
the company.

Typically, historical
investment returns are the only information widely available to most
investors when selecting an investment manager. Historical
investment returns are, however, not a reliable criterion as they
provide no guarantee of future returns. Investment Solutions goes
beyond the measurement of historical returns, using proven expertise
that evaluates investment managers from a qualitative and
quantitative perspective to select and blend investment managers to
produce investment portfolios that provide a less volatile return
stream with improved long-term returns.
