In a financial landscape where building wealth often seems reserved for the privileged few, Vault22 is changing the game. The digital wealth management platform (formerly known as 22seven) has launched innovative Active ETFs that bring professional investment management within reach of all South Africans, regardless of their starting point.
"With our new Active ETFs, you are not simply buying funds, you are gaining access to decades of investment excellence from one of South Africa's most respected asset managers with a long-standing track record that was built on decades of trust, foresight and financial returns," says Benito Mable, CEO of Vault22. "Our vision is simple: building wealth should be a process, not a privilege. Every South African deserves the opportunity to secure their financial future, regardless of where they start."
This philosophy underpins Vault22's latest offering, which allows South Africans to begin their investment journey with as little as R500. At a time when the rising cost of living is squeezing household budgets tighter than ever, this accessibility couldn't be more timely.
While traditional ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) typically track a specific index passively, Active ETFs combine the best of both worlds. They offer the accessibility, liquidity and cost-efficiency of ETFs with the benefits of active management by professional investment teams. This means investment experts are continuously monitoring, analysing and adjusting the fund's holdings to capitalise on market opportunities and manage risk—rather than simply mirroring an index. For everyday investors, Active ETFs provide sophisticated investment strategies that were previously available only to institutional or high-net-worth individuals, all in an accessible, transparent format.
What sets Vault22 apart is how it brings together heavyweight financial expertise in an intuitive digital platform. The new Active ETFs combine the investment heritage of Coronation with Prescient's precision-driven approach, offering two distinctive pathways:
Operating within ABSA's trusted financial framework, Vault22's platform delivers institutional-grade security and seamless transaction processing for all investors. Every aspect of the platform adheres to the highest standards of financial security and regulatory compliance.
What makes Vault22 particularly user-friendly is its personalised approach. New users complete a simple investor profile quiz that takes just minutes to complete but provides valuable guidance on their investment journey.
Based on your answers to questions about investment goals, timeframes, risk tolerance, and reaction to market volatility, Vault22 places you in one of five investor profiles:
This personalisation ensures that your investments align with your financial goals and comfort level, rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all solution.
This latest offering represents a significant advancement in democratising sophisticated wealth management for South Africans. The platform seamlessly integrates user-friendly digital tools with professional investment expertise, enabling South Africans to take control of their financial future with confidence.
"In today's environment, starting to invest early and regularly is more important than ever," explains Mable. "Working alongside South Africa's most trusted financial institutions, our platform makes professional investment management accessible and understandable to everyone. We believe that by removing traditional barriers to investing, we can help more South Africans build lasting financial security."
Vault22 goes beyond just investments. The platform helps users link their bank accounts to get a comprehensive view of their finances, create automatic budgets, and receive helpful insights through "Nudges" that guide better financial decisions.
"Vault22 will show you things you didn't know about your money, helping you to get better with it and find more of it," the platform promises in its welcome email to new users.
The mobile app, available on Android, Huawei Store, and iOS, ensures you can manage your money anytime, anywhere.
