Investment management is evolving and so are the tools. In January 2026, Cartesian Capital, a boutique South African asset management firm, announced the listing of an Actively Managed Exchange Traded Fund (AMETF) and an Actively Managed Certificate (AMC)on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), offering wealth managers, financial planners and retail investors access to flexible, outcome-driven building blocks designed for today’s evolving portfolio needs.
An auspicious day for the asset management industry as Cartesian is 100% black female owned and managed. Cartesian also manages a range of products across the risk return spectrum, from a Money Market Unit Trust to a Fixed Income Hedge Fund.
The AMC listing is supported by the technical expertise of ABSA, while the AMETF is sponsored by EasyEquities.
“The listings respond directly to a growing demand from advisers, DFMs and direct investors for transparent and easily accessible actively managed investment solutions that can be efficiently incorporated into discretionary and advised portfolios,” says Anthea Gardner, CEO of Cartesian Capital.
