IFG Africa, the new branding for the group, brings our vision firmly into focus as a black empowered company We will certainly retain our strong focus on building assets under management, increasing annuity income, adding quality specialist people and producing innovative new products all in search of profitability which secures employee, shareholder and client satisfaction Our entrepreneurial spirit has evolved over 20 years in establishing a successful specialized financial services business and this evolutionary process has reached the stage where we can make a statement that we have thrown off the old garb and do indeed now embrace the new South Africa We have searched for the opportunity when the foundation could be laid for a substantial acceleration for the right reasons with the right partners Furthermore we have always wished to be judged by the quality of our service and our relationship with our clients rather than the size of the group or the speed of our growth
