Companies can have their assets devalued or their ideas stolen, but as long as they possess the ability to innovate and develop people, they will always remain one jump ahead of their competitors - Arie de Geus, extracts from Planning as Learning

Organisational Development & Human Resources Key to the future success of Investec is the perpetuation of our culture and value system Investec has reached a stage in its growth where meeting the imperative of the Investec culture and values is no less critical than meeting the demands imposed by regulators, shareholders and rating agencies We apply equal rigour obligation and discipline to cultural risk management as we do to financial risk management

Image and Corporate Citizenship Consistent presentation of the Investec brand has been made possible by the creation of detailed brand management controls The positioning of Investec as Out of the Ordinary is based on a brand essence of creativity, performance, passion and focus We are continuously achieving high levels of brand awareness

Image and Corporate Citizenship Distinct approach to Corporate Social Investment Investec business principles apply (focus, innovation and ROI for recipients) Long-term, philosophical approach Concentrates on entrepreneurial and educational projects that are sustainable, innovative, empowering and have a measurable, positive social impact

Image and Corporate Citizenship Linked closely to a focused internal employment equity programme and empowerment drive (procurement, private equity investments, advice and partnering) Achievements during the past year: > Business Place > CIDA City Campus

Systems and Infrastructure The bursting of the Internet Bubble during the past year reinforced the view expressed last year that Investec operated in a New Economy mindset We therefore felt no need to create a separate entity to conduct this business This has allowed us to digitise our business thereby complementing the physical infrastructure

Systems and Infrastructure Investec continues to equip its legacy applications, where appropriate, with an e- commerce capability This strategy allows for the appropriate roll-out of the Group s internet technologies and applications A number of significant e-commerce projects launched

Systems and Infrastructure Focused on IT Governance and Business Resumption and DRP Installed: > Global Treasury System and Global Unit Trust System > Roll-out of CRM systems

Looking Forward

Looking Forward A combination of organic as well as acquisitive growth continues to drive our business Continue to enhance critical mass within our core areas of focus leveraging off existing platforms

Looking Forward Remain opportunistic -and focused avoiding niche revenues with bulge-bracket costs Adapt our business style to the new environment without losing our entrepreneurial flair > Winning the war for talent and building brand recognition

Looking Forward Continue to drive our growth and development internationally without losing our positioning in our home markets

Looking Forward Creating the right corporate structure that maximises the exploitation of international capital markets
