Introducing Amplify Offshore

Amplify Investment Partners has launched its first global equity fund to extend and diversify investment options for its clients.
“This is a natural progression for our fund offering,” says Amplify head Marthinus van der Nest. “We currently have funds that cover mostly the multi asset categories. Many investors are looking to diversify their local exposure and it has not been a space where we have had a fund.”
Amplify has added a dollar-denominated and a rand feeder fund to its existing range of unit trusts and hedge funds. Demand for offshore funds remains strong and changes to Regulation 28, increasing the offshore exposure limit to 45%, have created further opportunities for a good global manager, Van der Nest says.
Amplify’s dollar-denominated fund, launched this month, will be managed by Sarofim & Co, an independent, employee-owned global investment manager dedicated to high conviction, sustainable-growth investing with a 60-year successful long term track record of outperformance while taking lower risk.
