Safe Haven Capital is a specialist quantitative wealth management firm. We provide wealth advisory, investment management and training services to family offices, high-net-worth individuals, institutional clients such as pension funds and insurers, and trustees and investment professionals.
Our three focus areas are Family Offices, Institutional Clients (pension funds, insurance companies, development finance institutions and corporate treasuries) and Training & Education for trustees, fiduciaries and investment professionals.
Yes. Safe Haven Capital is an Authorised Representative of GIG Wealth, a Category I and Category II Financial Services Provider (FSP 49233) regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA). GIG Wealth accepts responsibility for the financial services rendered by Safe Haven Capital within the scope of its written mandate.
It means Safe Haven Capital manages the client relationship directly — providing advisory, investment management and training services — while GIG Wealth provides the regulatory licence, institutional infrastructure and supervisory oversight required under South African financial services law.
Broadly, a Category I licence covers financial advice and intermediary services, while a Category II licence covers discretionary investment management. Together they allow both advisory and discretionary mandates within GIG Wealth’s licence.
It is our proprietary investment framework, combining four ideas: Mandelbrot’s fractal market theory, Taleb’s antifragility, Spitznagel’s tail-risk hedging and seven-year cycle recognition. It provides systematic guidance for crisis preparedness and counter-cyclical wealth generation.
Tail-risk hedging is a small allocation to instruments designed to pay off strongly in severe market declines. It aims to protect against catastrophic losses while allowing the rest of the portfolio to participate in growth. You can explore the idea in our Interactive Risk Lab.
Yes. Protection typically costs money in calm or rising markets, which can create a drag on performance during bull markets. Our framework sizes the tail protection layer deliberately — typically 2–5% of the portfolio — to balance that cost against crisis protection.
No. No quantitative model can guarantee a specific outcome or eliminate risk entirely. Models are based on historical data and do not guarantee future outcomes. The value of investments may go down as well as up, and past performance is not a guide to future results.
The Long Equity Strategy for institutional clients is benchmarked against the FTSE/JSE All Share Index, using quantitative stock selection with a risk overlay.
We believe in alignment of interests through transparent fee structures. All fees and costs are disclosed and explained before you commit to any mandate or programme.
No. Our training programmes are designed to enhance competence and practical knowledge and contribute to Continuing Professional Development requirements. They do not constitute financial advice.
Yes. Every programme is tailored to your board, team or organisation, and can be delivered as in-house workshops, virtual sessions or multi-session programmes.
