Our Story
Born from Conviction,
Built on Trust
Peter Armitage founded Anchor in 2012 with a simple belief: South African investors deserved a wealth manager that combined institutional-grade research with genuine personal service.
From a single Johannesburg office, Anchor has grown to manage R300 billion+ in assets under management and advice, with operations across South Africa, London, Mauritius, and Namibia. The 2024 merger with London-based Credo created a truly global investment capability with over 550 staff.
What has not changed: every client relationship is built on transparency, independent thinking, and the conviction to act when opportunities present themselves.
