Ninety One is a global asset manager with its roots in South Africa, managing investments worth close to £172 billion for institutions, advisors, and individual investors around the world. The firm was established in Cape Town in 1991 as Investec Asset Management, growing for nearly three decades inside the Investec Group before demerging in 2020 to become an independent, dual-listed company on the JSE and London Stock Exchange.
Rather than funding business or finance degrees directly, Ninety One's bursary programme focuses specifically on healthcare fields - nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy - reflecting a deliberate choice to invest in South Africa's health sector rather than only its own talent pipeline.
The programme combines financial support with tutoring, career guidance, resilience training, and mental-health and financial-wellbeing sessions, treating the bursary as holistic student support rather than a purely financial transaction.
