why the name Weaver
The Weaver bird is one of the prominent bird species prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is known for its skill, tenacity and ingenuity in nest building – the most elaborate of nest builders. The nest building process is well thought out and executed. The Weaver bird could be described as an architect, construction engineer and site foreman all rolled into one.
Weaver Investment Management identifies with these characteristics and we emulate them in the way we advise clients, build portfolios and protect wealth. We offer an end-to-end investment advisory and implementation solution.
