Who we are
We’re different. Being a global investment manager with an emerging market heritage influences our approach. We bring a special perspective to active investing, which lets us find opportunities for clients in all kinds of places.
Our culture
The culture of Ninety One reflects who we are as people. It is our shared values and norms that make us.
We believe the strength of our culture is a competitive advantage, ensuring a healthy environment for debate. This is the foundation for our pursuit of enduring investment performance and outstanding client service. Above all, our culture embodies our overriding value – to do the right thing.

Why we might be right for you
We believe in recognising individual talents, strengths and ambitions and support our people to reach their full potential, we do not box people into job titles. We are open minded to people expanding their roles, moving jobs and changing their career paths. We believe it is this constant opportunity for new challenges that has resulted in our people staying with us for the long-term.
Diversity and belonging
We have a genuine approach to diversity and belonging
True to our heritage, Ninety One is committed to creating an environment rich in diversity; an environment where our demographics increasingly reflect society and our client base; where all people feel welcome and respected; where all people have a fair opportunity to develop and contribute. We articulate our philosophy under 5 pillars:
Commitment to diversityOur commitment is to nurture diversity that reflects society and our clients. We provide equal opportunities in an environment where respect and acceptance are key. |
Integration with cultureOur core values, “do the right thing” and “freedom to create,” incorporate our diversity initiatives, giving us a distinctive competitive edge. |
Emphasis on freedomOur approach to diversity and belonging emphasizes individual freedom to express, seize opportunities, and realize potential. We do not assume a level playing field. |
Shared responsibilityWe believe diversity and belonging are collective obligations. Both the organization and individuals are held accountable to counter prejudice, discrimination, and mistreatment. |
Culture of inclusion and belongingWe drive value by appreciating differences and by creating a culture that fosters individual expression and belonging. This leads to collaboration and superior outcomes for our clients. |
Belong is a grassroots employee-led network focused on the recruitment, retention and representation of black talent. The network has set out to create a further-enhanced inclusive environment where black professionals can thrive in an equal-opportunity environment. |
Inspire is a network created by women for women at Ninety One. It enables the exchange of knowledge and experiences in order to improve the opportunities for career success. Inspire plays an important role in helping us make our firm a more inclusive place. |
Proud is our LGBTQ+ network which is designed to create an internal community for our LGBTQ+ colleagues and their allies. We aim to promote an inclusive and supportive work environment, where people who identify as LGBTQ+ are free to be themselves. |
