Taquanta was cultivated from mergers and acquisitions of several businesses over more than two decades.
This combination of expertise and experience in bank treasury management and quantitative investment management are the foundation of our enviable track record across our offerings.
1997
There is a merger betweeen: Syfrets, UAL Merchant Bank, Nedbank and Investment Bank.
2003
The merged business is restructured to form: Nedbank Treasury Asset Management, Nedcor Treasury Management Services and NIB Securities.
2005
Taquanta – an empowerment consortium – acquires minority stakes in the three restructured businesses and rebrands them: Nedbank Treasury Asset Management to Taquanta Asset Managers, Nedcor Treasury Management Services to Taquanta Treasury Solutions, NIB Securities to Taquanta Securities.
2007
Taquanta Investment Holdings, which is independent of the Nedbank Group, is established following a partially vendor-financed BEE transaction including management.
At the time, the newly established firm is owned by several participants of the original Taquanta consortium as well as founding management (DEC Investment Holding Company (Pty) Ltd, ZICO Investments, Dr V Maphai and management staff).
2008
The vendor financing put in place to facilitate the buyout from the Nedbank Group is repaid in full.
2014
Taquanta Treasury Solutions is sold to its management.
2017
ZICO Investments shareholding is bought out by remaining shareholders proportionately.
2018
An employee share scheme is established, creating an opportunity for employees to participate in ownership of Taquanta.
Eleven employees are allocated direct equity ownership in the business, joining founding management as shareholders. We call it “Changing of the Guard” and we have a formal empowerment process of transferring meaningful direct ownership to younger BEE staff.
2021
In April 2021, Taquanta Investment Holdings acquired Ngwedi Investment Managers.
This deal resulted in the recruitment of a strong team of investment professionals from Ngwedi to bolster the existing Taquanta team to increase the scope of skills and experience and furthermore strengthen the transformation credentials
