In 1992, Discovery revolutionised medical aid through a single, profound insight: If people lived healthier lives, it would change insurance for good. It would also change society. They introduced rewards for healthy behaviour choices, and grew into a global organisation.
Discovery Invest brings the same philosophy: They encourage you to and reward you for investing longer, investing more, living well and withdrawing wisely.
A solid investment company that helps you achieve your investment goals
Discovery offers easy access to many diverse investments and a wide choice of investment managers through one contact point. Whether you are just starting out in investments or you are a seasoned investor, they have an investment plan for you.
In just 10 years, they became one of the fastest-growing unit trust companies in South Africa, with over 280 000 clients and R92 billion in assets under management. Their funds are recognised as top performers in their sectors.

Discovery rewards healthy investment behaviour
Discovery encourages and rewards you for investing longer by starting to invest as early as possible and investing more towards your retirement goals. You can get an extra return of up to 2% each year on your investment for being healthy, driving well, and managing your money well.
