The company consists of six people at its head office in Windhoek and has been able to distinguish itself from its peers through its unique and specialised investment philosophy and investment offerings.

This is elegantly explained by HangalaPrescient CEO, Alfreda Wentworth, who said: “Our success lies in the strength of our clearly defined philosophy and investment process.

“Our investment philosophy is centred on capital preservation, robust risk management practices and consistently striving for real returns for retail and institutional investors.”

Leake Hangala, the executive chairman of the Hangala Group, explained that the group has secured a multinational technical partner with the best global standards and practices.

“These practices and standards, combined with our Namibian expertise, ensure that we can provide our retail and corporate clients with the best services and innovative products,” he said.

HangalaPrescient investment management manages three unit trust funds, the HangalaPrescient Money Market, Income Provider and Absolute Balanced Funds, and invites Namibian pension funds, medical schemes, companies and individuals to invest with it.
