CAPE TOWN, South Africa – At a time when planning for tomorrow has never been more crucial, digital wealth management platform Vault22 (formerly 22seven) today announced the introduction of their innovative Active ETFs solutions, marking a significant step forward in making professional investment management accessible to every South African.‍

This development brings together Coronation's investment heritage and Prescient's precision-driven approach, offering everyday South Africans unprecedented access to professional wealth management through Vault22's intuitive, digital-first platform. With the rising cost of living affecting household savings, the platform enables South Africans to start building their financial future with as little as R500.

‍‍"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."

Two Distinctive Investment Pathways

The platform now features two compelling investment options designed to help South Africans grow their wealth steadily over time:

• Coronation Active ETFs harness over three decades of investment expertise, combining the accessibility of ETFs with proven investment strategies to deliver diversified, actively managed solutions designed for today's dynamic market environment.
• Prescient Active ETFs employ a methodical, risk-conscious approach aimed at delivering stable, inflation-beating returns. This offering blends the liquidity and flexibility of ETFs with proactive, research-backed management techniques.

"This new listing blends the liquidity and flexibility of ETFs with Prescient's proactive, research-backed management approach," says Murray Anderson, Head of Retail at Prescient Investment Management.

Making Wealth Creation Accessible

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."
