SAMI manages funds domiciled in Ireland valued at approximately US$8.7 billion, and is part of the Sanlam financial services group, headquartered in South Africa.

We are pleased to extend a relationship that supports our focus on both the long-term growth of our clients’ investments and the strategic ambitions we have for our business.”
