Strategic partnerships Ninety One has active collaboration with major institutions such as State Street and Standard Bank Group, signaling openness to co-managed or jointly structured investment products. This presents a sales opportunity to offer advanced ETF platforms, liquidity solutions, or ESG and impact investing capabilities that integrate with partner ecosystems.

Active ETF growth Recent launches of a suite of actively managed ETFs and a strategic partnership to expand ETF offerings indicate a strong push into index and active ETF products. This creates demand for fund administration, risk analytics, compliance tooling, and sophisticated trading infrastructure to support rapid product onboarding and scale.

Fixed income expansion Promotions and hires in the fixed income trading desk combined with capital deployment into infrastructure and liquidity facilities suggest opportunities in trading technology, data analytics, risk management, and execution quality improvements tailored for fixed income and credit strategies.

Global and regional reach As a dual-listed global manager with clients and partners across Africa and beyond, Ninety One may benefit from cross-border regulatory tech, multilingual client servicing, and scalable CRM or client reporting solutions to support global client onboarding and retention.

Tech and data modernization Existing tech stack includes Power BI, NoSQL, ServiceNow, and Charles River Development, highlighting an appetite for data visualization, data platforms, and workflow automation. This aligns with opportunities to offer data integration, analytics, and SaaS-based workflow enhancements to improve fund operations and investor client experience.
