Balanced funds have been an important part of the South African savings landscape for many years. When we launched the Allan Gray Balanced Fund in 1999, multi-asset equity funds represented approximately 6% of the overall unit trust industry, but grew steadily over the next 10 years to reach around 25% in 2010, and just under 40% at the end of 2022. Multi-asset high-equity funds, or balanced funds, represent over half of this category and were a key part of this growth.
Met Collective Investments in it s heydays administered almost a quarter of all SA registered third party funds before it s consolidation with Momentum Investments after merger of Metropolitan and Momentum in 2017.
Around 2020, after embroiled in exceeding maximum pension mandated investments , asset manager JM Busha , did not recover and exited the unit trust industry.
