broader society. As a business we have to play our part not only to create a better financial future for our clients, but to build a better future for this world and for
those who will be here after us.
Our business has had another successful year. We face our fair share of challenges, but we also have an extremely attractive set of growth opportunities. The task we now have is to face up to these challenges and grab those opportunities in the New Year.
Let us make 2015 the year in which we as a firm and you, as an individual, strive to make a difference – in
the lives of our families, our friends, our clients, our colleagues and in our communities across the world. As I
wish you a happy 2015, I would like to inspire you with the following quote from Robert Kennedy: “There are those who
look at things the way they are, and ask why….I dream of things that never were and ask ‘why not’?”
May 2015 be a good year for all of you.

05Over the past couple of months, the Institute has worked closely with our client groups, investment teams and external partners on several new initiatives largely focused on Africa and emerging markets.
The MEFMI Combined Forum took place in Washington, DC during the WB/IMF Meetings and brought together African Central Bank Governors, Finance Ministers and Ministers of Planning for two days of capacity building. The Africa Client Group and Institute supported the MEFMI organisers with the programme and featured Nazmeera Moola on Infrastructure and Antoon de Klerk on the issuance of local currency bonds.
We hosted our inaugural Institute Africa Forum in Johannesburg in September. The programme explored how South African institutional investors are tackling the issue of portfolio diversification and featured a number of distinguished clients from Investment Solutions, RMB and Eskom alongside South African Minister Pravin Gordhan, Harvard Professor Ricardo Hausmann and our own Multi-Asset and Frontier Market investment teams.
We also hosted Celtel billionaire and governance champion Mo Ibrahim for a dinner discussion with our Private Markets team and a small group of private equity leaders in London chaired by Lord Mark-Malloch Brown. It was an opportunity to discuss our outlook for the continent with key investors and prospects for our Africa funds.
In August, the Institute partnered with the US-Africa Chamber of Commerce and 20 global leaders to create an in-depth study on foreign direct investment into Africa and the changing nature of US-Africa relations. The report was released by Hendrik in Washington as part of President Obama’s US-Africa Leaders’ Summit.

Institute
In September this year some of the top minds in South Africa’s retirement fund industry came together for an afternoon to discuss and debate trends in investment decision-making. Following the successful launch of the Investment Institute in London last year, this was the first Africa gathering of its kind.
“The Investment Institute is the strategic insights and engagement platform of Investec Asset Management,” explains Katherine Tweedie, Executive Director of the Institute. “The goal of the Institute is to provide insight on key political, economic and investment trends that impact investment decision-making across geographies and asset classes.”
To do this, the Institute has formed partnerships with a global network of leading thinkers and practitioners. These include Professor Ricardo Hausmann, Director of Harvard’s Center for International Development, who presented the macroeconomic outlook for South Africa to the Forum.
This year’s theme was ‘A new lens for South African investors’. “African and global financial markets are in the process of a profound reset. As this investment environment evolves, so too is the composition of ‘traditional’ balanced portfolios.
“At this time we believe that it is especially important for South African investors to have the space to think differently about emerging trends and have the tools as they assess options for long-term portfolio diversification and alternative asset allocation,” said Hendrik du Toit.

The day was concluded by a dinner where Minister of Cooperative and Traditional Affairs, Pravin Gordhan, and Investec Asset Management’s economist and strategist Nazmeera Moola led a debate about the outlook for South Africa and the respective roles of Treasury vs Municipal and Provincial Governments. Judge Dennis Davis was the moderator.
One of the factors that made this event particularly special was its location: it was held at the historic Villa Arcadia in Johannesburg. This Sir Herbert Baker designed house was once owned by one of Johannesburg’s original Rand Lords and later used as a Jewish orphanage. Today it is owned by the Hollard Group and not usually available for events unrelated to the company.

In June this year John Green and his client group leadership team travelled to the Lewa Conservancy in northern Kenya for two days of (properly remote) strategising. Following this, ten other members of staff joined them to make an out of the ordinary contribution to charity.
They all gathered to fly the IAM flag at the annual Tusk Marathon - one of the world’s most unique marathons, in that 1000 athletes run in a wildlife reserve. While helicopters attempt to clear the track of animals at the start, there is no guarantee of your run not being interrupted by the unexpected crossing of elephants on the track!

that this race happens in one of the hottest areas in the world - and at extreme altitude.
Little wonder that most of the group just tried their hand at the half marathon. Barring, of course, one of IAM’s prime adventurers - Richard Garland, MD of Americas, Japan and Asia client group - whose wild side opted for the full 42km!
“It was an amazing and truly unique experience. It was also a very good opportunity for our client group to see, first-hand, the good work that Tusk does in the lives of so many communities in Africa,” said John Green, global head of client group.
Everyone survived the marathon and in the process the team managed to raise $60 000 for Tusk.

November saw the return of the highly acclaimed IAM Bake-off to the 4th Floor. After feeling hard done by the last time round, Chris Clark, who aggressively boasts to having spent the past four months secretly attending night cookery school, out-whisked all the others to claim the coveted ‘Golden Spatula’. Cupcakes and champers ensued later that week, much to the delight of his team, and to Chris himself, who quite openly wept for the duration of the celebration.
The event marked the end of John Daly’s charitable campaign for Tusk, which has gone on for most of the year.Congratulations to him for a great effort this year.

Mark Denny Dealing Desk (London)
When we first arrived in Basinghall Street we occupied about a third of the 4th floor and all the dealers pretty much knew everyone. Now we are losing touch, so first of all please make sure you visit us in the most exciting part of the office!Don’t let Hendrik catch you cooking fish in the microwave, it could turn nasty…and if you do use the microwave please remember where the dots go between the numbers because the London Fire Brigade do not like to be messed around!One thing that is very noticeable is that IAM has gone to great efforts to try and produce a very balanced working environment; as you already know we are all hired because we want to work passionately hard but do make sure you are aware of the social and charitable initiatives too.
Oh, and if you don’t have much hair make sure you remember to bring in a wig for your corporate photo…regrettably I forgot.

A
We’ve seen a lot of new faces around the offices, what wise words could you offer these ‘newbies’ about working at IAM?
Tell us about your most memorable time at IAM
I have hired just about all of the dealers on the desk and that has always been a very interesting, exciting and memorable process.
Hendrik’s staff address in I think 1999 when he said if we were not top quartile within 5 years he would pack up and leave London…the rest is history…
What has been your hardest time at IAM?
Making sure the desk has stayed on top of all the multi-asset growth and product additions of a fast growing company; managing the pain that goes with the gain!
When you’re not in the office, what do you do with your free time?
Busy occupying and motivating two young kids who keep me young thankfully.I am a member of the National Rifle Association and target-shoot long-range (up to 1000 yards) full-bore (.308 / .762) rifles at Bisley when I get the chance.
I also enjoy oil painting on canvas with a difference! Sundays are generally for running, homework and movies.

I was pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of all staff and their willingness to assist with any questions a newbie such as myself would have.
The strangest thing for me was on my first day, having to sign in as a visitor after working so long in Security.
Being afforded the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally within this wonderfully dynamic organisation.

Our PEOPLE
The Rhino, Monika Thaler and Denis Skeate
Having pledged to wear a zebra onesie if his fundraising target of £1000 was exceeded, Denis Skeate takes to the streets of London, dressed accordingly.
“Just” running a marathon (Lewa Marathon) at IAM these days almost doesn’t warrant fund raising, as there are so many crazy people in the building running, swimming and walking obscene distances, under different conditions. We needed a little something else to get people interested - and what better than a bit of childish fun... a little zebra onesie goes a long way...
wears a onesie
Should we break the £1000 target, I will come to the office and spend a
day in a Zebra Onesie! Leaving my house, getting the train into Waterloo
at rush hour, then the Waterloo & City Line to Bank. Only to return home
on the same route after a full day in the office. But that’s not all!! I will
then have lunch in the centre of London at a well-known and very public
venue. And for those of you who will naturally want proof I will ensure I
upload pictures including points of reference en route, for verification.”

The Athena competition
Our PEOPLE
What is it?The Athena competition aimed to encourage the global marketing team members to go beyond their day-to-day roles and to use their hidden skills in a collaborative environment to create innovative solutions to meet the needs of our client group.
How did it work? We liaised with the Client Groups and tried to understand what their biggest challenges are, and with which marketing could help. The marketing team was split into groups of 7-10 people and each team was allocated a challenge. The requirement was that we think innovatively and creatively about these challenges.
From ‘Pentagon’, the winning team
Our task was to reinvent the corporate brochure. We wanted to come up with a brochure that was fresh and exciting but concise and compact (and with the requisite number of zebras!). We wanted something that would represent our unique culture and innovative spirit whilst exploring our creativity. We spoke to stakeholders such as Katherine Tweedie, Richard Garland and John Green for further inspiration on the ideas we had gathered. Katherine suggested concise, Richard suggested EXCITING, John gave us a concrete example of a memorable brochure.
We managed to produce a wonderful idea that is truly representative of our company’s unique journey. We are ecstatic with the overwhelming response to the brochure and we hope to see this rolled out in the future. We are humbled but WE KNEW WOULD WIN ALL ALONG.

After a round of three games, the Black and Blue teams made it to the final, with Clyde Rossouw’s Blue team edging out a victory of 1 run.

All the teams finished the race with their full teams (all 12 team members) – a great achievement in this demanding challenge. Furthermore, team IAM Misfits, sponsored by Investec Asset Management, won the Charles Milner Award for the fastest team to finish with all 12 riders, and they did this in 05:33:24 – beating the previous record.
