Who we are
Privately owned by The Spirit Organisation, Spirit Invest and its directors have established, acquired and managed stock exchange listed and unlisted international companies, predominately within the financial services sector, for over four decades.
Spirit Invest is defined by its motto as ‘Investors in Intellect’. Always exceptional and striving for excellence and outperformance in all its companies, Spirit Invest provides leadership, consultancy and investment to its underlying portfolio of companies.
We excel in identifying the ‘right people’ and fit for each business, we nurture talent, encourage entrepreneurship and reward innovation.
Why investors in intellect?
Spirit Invest deploys significant financial capital into the establishment, acquisition and management of its underlying companies, but our key point of differentiation is our investment in intellect. This means investing in intangible assets like knowledge, structural capital (systems, databases, processes), and most importantly, human capital (employee skills).
Our investment in intellect delivers significant business advantages. In the modern knowledge-based economy, a firm's competitive advantage often relies more heavily on intangible intellectual assets than on physical ones.
Investing in intellect improves innovation, productivity, reduces costs and builds a sustainable competitive advantage that is difficult for competitors to imitate.
Spirit Invest’s historic track record of identifying opportunities for investment, establishing and acquiring successful businesses and delivering significant growth to the Spirit Group is testament to the unique formula we have developed over more than four decades.
Where do we operate?
Spirit Invest has operations, partners and professional associates across a number of international jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, South Africa, Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man, Mauritius and Ireland. Spirit Invest’s broad footprint has enabled clients within its many subsidiaries to benefit from the highly professional and experienced staff employed by the group.
Spirit Invest has achieved exponential growth in the 21st century and now collectively manages and administers over $3,000,000,000 of assets on behalf of several thousand clients and investors.
How do we operate?
Spirit Invest operates via a number of parent companies under the Group’s Orion brand. Each parent company specialises in a specific investment field. For more information on these parent companies please visit Orion Investment Managers, Orion Wealth Managers and Orion Property Managers.
