The first truly global DFM in South Africa

Discovery Group last year announced the launch of Cogence, a discretionary fund manager (DFM) seeking to significantly enhance the business of wealth creation in South Africa.

Uniquely, Cogence combines the investment expertise of BlackRock, one of the world’s leading asset managers, with personalised health data from Discovery, which operates the world’s largest behavioural change programme.

It offers model portfolio solutions built upon BlackRock’s asset allocation views and integrates Vitality’s data and analytics, all supported by industry-leading portfolio analytics and risk management technology, Aladdin Wealth™.

We caught up with Darren Burns, executive head of Cogence, to find out more about Cogence and the ways in which its' advanced solutions can be practically and seamlessly applied to South African investors.
