Santi4, a next-generation investment technology platform, has officially launched today with R720 billion ($35bn) in client assets under administration and is positioned to reach the R1 trillion ($58bn) milestone within the next year. The platform enters the market with a clear mandate: to modernise the global investment management industry by leveraging advanced intelligence to eliminate the legacy administrative costs that have historically eroded investor value.

Included in Santi4’s shareholder base is the Prescient Group (Prescient), a financial services business that offers investment management, fund services and stockbroking services. Through this strategic partnership, Prescient aligns its heritage of innovation and entrepreneurship to the future of financial infrastructure.

Daniel Micali, CEO of Santi4, said: “Across global investment markets, firms are under growing pressure to reduce costs, improve investor outcomes and operate within increasingly complex regulatory environments. Yet too much time and capital are still consumed by fragmented processes, manual administration and compliance-heavy operating models. Santi4 was built to change that. We help investment managers, administrators and investment platforms modernise their businesses through intelligent technology that reduces operational friction, lowers cost and creates capacity for growth.”

Powered by Agentic AI and built by a team with deep experience across the investment ecosystem, Santi4 combines advanced automation with trusted core platform capabilities. This enables firms to streamline administration, strengthen control environments and deliver faster, more scalable service across the investment lifecycle.

Santi4 supports a wide range of investment products and structures, from traditional investment products, retirement and life products, and funds through to emerging digital investment solutions. Its platform is designed to manage the full operating journey across onboarding, compliance, administration, servicing, reporting and third-party integration, helping clients operate more efficiently in both local and international markets.

“We are excited to have made this investment in Santi4 - the technology and the team are perfectly aligned with our ethos as a business, and demonstrate our belief in entrepreneurship as a catalyst for innovation, growth and long-term industry progress,” says Prescient Group CEO, Willem Venter adding that while the initial launch of the product is focused on Southern Africa, the team will be able to leverage the Prescient footprint into the UK and Europe .

To support this expansion, Santi4 was purpose-built for international growth, enabling the seamless operation and management of investments and management companies across multiple legal, regulatory and financial jurisdictions.

Micali added: ‘We believed the next generation of investment technology needed to be more intelligent, more adaptive and more trusted. Our goal is to support the evolution of the industry, not only by improving the operating model for today’s investment managers, administrators and platforms, but by enabling the products and structures of tomorrow, including tokenised funds, private markets and new global distribution models.

We can achieve this goal if we stay true to our core philosophy that we are powered by intelligence and built on trust.”
