Investec Asset Management will rename itself Ninety One and drop its famous zebra, following its demerger from the Investec banking group in the first quarter of 2020.

The UK-South African fund manager said its new name will “reflect its heritage”, as the business was founded in 1991. Chief executive Hendrik du Toit said the business was “changing its name, but not who we are”.
