Taquanta Asset Managers Pty Ltd. (Taquanta AM) is the asset management subsidiary of Taquanta Investment Holdings in South Africa. The firm's roots begin with Nedbank Investment Bank, Syfrets and UAL Merchant Bank in the mid-1990s. In 1997, the firms merged into NIB. Rationalizations and restructurings created Nedbank Treasury Asset Management, and in 2005, an empowerment consortium named Taquanta acquired a minority stake in the business which was subsequently rebranded as Taquanta Asset Managers. In 2007, the firm left Nedbank to go it alone under black-owned Taquanta Investment Holdings. Taquanta AM provides a range of investment products for clients including pension and provident funds, medical aids, unit trusts, corporates and multi-managers in South Africa.
