Full Job Description

About us:

Ninety One is an independent, active global asset manager with R3,9 trillion * of assets under management.
Established in South Africa in 1991, as Investec Asset Management, the firm started offering domestic investments in an emerging market. In 2020, almost three decades of organic growth later, the firm demerged from Investec Group and became Ninety One.
Our distinctive capabilities sit within differentiated fixed income and credit as well as specialist equities, and we have a unique perspective and approach to investment opportunities presented by emerging markets and the energy transition.
*as at 31 March 2026
Ninety One is an equal opportunities employer. Our imperative is to attract and retain the best talent by providing a corporate environment where people from varying backgrounds can develop professionally and build a rewarding career.

About the team:

The Performance & Attribution team is a global function with presence across London and Cape Town, covering the full spectrum of asset classes including equity, fixed income, multi-asset, and emerging market debt. The team supports all Ninety One offices by providing investment performance and attribution analysis on single assets, portfolios, funds, benchmarks, strategies, capabilities, and the firm as a whole. This work underpins reporting to Portfolio Managers and the broader Investment teams, Client Groups, Marketing, and Senior Management, and is central to ensuring clients receive accurate and timely performance information. The team is growing in scope and capability as part of a broader strategic build-out, modernising its systems and processes through a transition to more automated, scalable, and globally integrated ways of working.

In this role you will:
- Take ownership of the daily and monthly performance and attribution production cycle across a broad range of asset classes and mandate types, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and consistency of output
- Provide senior oversight of the data quality controls process — reviewing controls output, investigating material breaks that require experienced judgement, and owning escalation to Data Operations, custodians, and upstream teams when issues cannot be resolved at analyst level
- Configure and maintain portfolio and security classification structures within the performance system, ensuring correct attribution groupings across asset types, regions, and client-specific requirements
- Act as a senior escalation point between the performance team and Data Operations on recurring or complex data quality matters, contributing to a more structured and documented approach to issue resolution
- Support the continual improvement and automation of performance processes, working alongside data engineering and automation colleagues to reduce manual intervention and improve the reliability of outputs
- Assist with performance reporting for investment committees, senior management, and institutional clients across multiple asset classes and regions
- Provide day-to-day guidance and mentorship to junior members of the Cape Town team, supporting their development and ensuring robust coverage across the team’s responsibilities
- Support new client and strategy onboardings, including benchmark and performance system setup across asset classes and regions

You should consider applying if you have:
- At least 5 years’ direct experience within investment performance, performance attribution, or a closely related analytical function within asset management or investment services
- A degree in a quantitative subject or a degree with a high mathematical content (e.g. mathematics, statistics, finance, econometrics, or a related discipline), or CA(SA) or an equivalent professional qualification (CFA would be an advantage)
- Demonstrated experience as an active, daily user of a professional performance and attribution platform at power-user or administrator level — StatPro Revolution, Bloomberg PORT, or equivalent; familiarity with StatPro Revolution would be a strong advantage
- Proven experience owning or overseeing an end-to-end data quality controls process, including investigation of holdings, transaction, cash, and return breaks, and managing resolution with custodians or data providers
- Experience working across multi-asset, fixed income, and equity mandates, with an understanding of the attribution methodologies relevant to each asset class
- Strong Excel skills; working knowledge of Python, SQL, or VBA would be an advantage; and the ability to work independently and make sound judgements under time pressure, particularly around month-end and quarter-end cycles

Some of the attributes we look for in a person are:
- The ability to build and maintain meaningful relationships
- A strong belief in doing the right thing
- A strong sense of personal accountability and ownership
- The ability to exercise sound judgement under pressure and communicate findings clearly to senior stakeholders
- The ability to mentor and develop less experienced colleagues
