Ninety One Investment

Dear Ninety-One Customer Service,

I am writing to formally raise a concern regarding the handling of our investment accounts with Ninety-One ahead of their inception date of 1 June 2025.

While the initial online application process was smooth and efficient, including the linking of our personal broker, we have already encountered multiple service issues—even before the policies have commenced. Specifically, we have experienced significant difficulty in attempting to change the debit order from one bank account to another. This should be a straightforward request, yet it appears to be beyond the capability of any consultant we have engaged with so far.

Additionally, we have five investments with Ninety-One, each under a different family member’s name. As per the official documentation submitted through our broker, I am authorised to speak and act on behalf of all five account holders. Despite this, one of your consultants informed me last Friday that I am not permitted to speak on their behalf, directly contradicting the documentation you have on file.

This is unacceptable and does not inspire confidence in the level of service and care that should accompany the management of our investments.

I am requesting that a member of management contact me directly and urgently to resolve this issue. We chose Ninety-One based on a reputation for professionalism and quality service—so far, this experience has fallen far short of that standard.

I look forward to your prompt response.

Yours sincerely,

0

Reviewer Update
No, this complaint is not resolved! I am writing to express my frustration regarding an issue that has remained unresolved despite multiple attempts on my part to get assistance. I have contacted your support team on several occasions regarding the update of my banking details for debit order purposes. Although I have spoken to two different consultants, the problem still persists, and no meaningful action has been taken. I was also informed that someone from your complaints department would reach out to me, but that has not happened either. What is particularly frustrating is that this issue appears to be something that can be resolved quickly—simply by updating the banking details on your system. However, despite explaining the situation multiple times, I continue to be passed around without any resolution. This ongoing lack of action and and accountability is unacceptable. I am now requesting that this matter be escalated and resolved as a matter of urgency. Please confirm once the new banking details have been updated and the debit order has been successfully reinstated. I look forward to your prompt response response and a swift resolution.
