Ninety One Launches Collective Investment Trust Suite

Ninety One, the global investment manager with $215 billion in assets under management (as at 12.31.25), has launched a Collective Investment Trust (CIT) suite which includes Ninety One’s Emerging Markets Equity strategy, International Franchise strategy, and Global Franchise strategy. SEI Trust Company is serving as trustee.

The launch expands Ninety One’s North American offering and provides access to its active, differentiated strategies through a CIT structure, making them available in vehicles to qualified retirement plans (inclusive of 401K’s), institutional investors, plan sponsors and fiduciaries.

The Ninety One CIT suite:

• Ninety One Emerging Markets Equity: seeks to generate alpha across emerging market cycles through investment primarily in equities or equity-related securities of emerging market companies. The strategy is managed by Archie Hart and Varun Laijawalla.
• Ninety One International Franchise: seeks durable, defensive, differentiated alpha from international equities. The strategy is managed by Elias Erikson, Clyde Rossouw and Abrie Pretorius.
• Ninety One Global Franchise: seeks durable, defensive, differentiated alpha through investment in equities or equity-related securities across global markets. The strategy is managed by Clyde Rossouw, Abrie Pretorius, Elias Erikson and Paul Vincent.

Sangeeth Sewnath, Head of Americas and Global Head of Client Group: “The US retirement market is increasingly looking beyond domestic equities for durable long-term growth. By bringing our international and emerging market strategies into a CIT structure, we’re making it easier for plan sponsors and consultants to access our capabilities in a format that aligns with how retirement assets are allocated today. Ninety One has been active in the US market for nearly two decades, and the launch of this suite reflects our continued long-term commitment to serving US retirement investors.”
