Investec was founded in South Africa in 1974 as a small finance company and later established a UK presence through acquisitions, with its UK operations being renamed Investec Bank (UK) Limited in 1997. Key founders include Ian, Bernard Kantor, and Stephen Koseff, but the company grew from its South African origins with its UK entity being formed by acquiring and renaming other companies rather than starting as a new, separate UK company.
