GCI's investment reputation has been built on a few simple strategies and our unwavering commitment to them.

Minimising loss

All our investments are protected by our Stop Loss Strategy which allows you to sleep well no matter what you hear on the business news. It locks in the value of your investments when prices start to fall, and means you're fully protected against dangerous market swings.

The benefits of stop losses are muted when prices are on the up, but have been highlighted in dramatic fashion during historic crashes and the most recent downturn. While SA shares lost up to 43 percent of their value in 2008, our clients never lost more than six!

Maximising returns through agility

GCI holds a unique position which enables us to outperform the market without taking undue risk. Unlike the mammoth fund managers, we don't have to worry about causing volatility when we move in and out of investment positions. We have a panther-like ability to react quickly and are constantly reshaping our portfolios in line with market conditions.

Setting the bar high

Instead of simply trying to outperform the all share index, we aim higher and our flagship funds have offered inflation beating returns since our inception. We don't become complacent when we break records, but use them to set even greater targets. Our remuneration structure is designed to encourage us to constantly outperform ourselves!

GCI's investment strategy is systems driven and completely immune from knee-jerk investor sentiment. We are constantly updating our technology and the intelligence that guides it.
