All the assets are administered on Sygnia’s proprietary investment administration platform and are unitised on a daily basis. The operations of the Sygnia group of companies (“the Group”) date back to 2003, when certain subsidiary companies formed part of the African Harvest group of companies. Sygnia was launched in 2006 through a management buy-out by the then-CEO of African Harvest, Magda Wierzycka, and her executive management team. Until 2015, Sygnia was privately owned by the existing executives and founders. Sygnia Limited listed on the main board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 2015 and on the A2X exchange in 2018. The company remains majority-owned by its management and staff, including Sygnia’s broad-based BEE staff scheme. The company has provided asset management and investment administration services to South African retirement fund clients since 2006 and to international clients (retirement funds, endowments and multi-managers) since 2007. Today Sygnia is the second largest multi-management company in South Africa, one of the two largest passive managers in South Africa and the largest provider of ETFs in the country. It manages and administers assets on behalf of over 1 500 institutional investors and 39 919 retail investors, and its umbrella fund has over 45 000 members.
