Retirement and investment administration platform serving corporate and individual clients across southern Africa
Alexforbes operates a Microsoft-heavy stack (C#, .NET, ASP.NET, Azure) paired with Excel-first workflows typical of financial services operations. Active hiring across finance, engineering, and operations—with compliance and system modernization dominating the project list—suggests Alexforbes is simultaneously scaling compliance infrastructure and rebuilding legacy systems. Pain points cluster around regulatory friction (FSCA penalties, query deadlines) and operational friction (billing reconciliation, processing delays), both addressable through automation and data consolidation.
Alexforbes is a publicly listed retirement, investment, and wealth-management provider serving corporate pension funds, health funds, investment funds, and individual clients across South Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Channel Islands. Founded in 1935, the company operates at 1,001–5,000 employees from its Sandown headquarters. The business spans retirement administration, investment management, healthcare solutions, and insurance products, split between institutional (employer and fund) clients and retail individual members. The product surface reflects this mix: backend asset-liability modeling, contribution and claims reconciliation, regulatory reporting, and member-facing application processing.
Alexforbes primarily builds on Microsoft technologies: C#, .NET, ASP.NET, and Azure for cloud infrastructure, paired with Angular and React for UI, and SQL for data. Excel and Office tools remain core to operations workflows.
Current focus includes modernizing legacy systems, asset-liability modeling, regulatory compliance (FSCA alignment), billing and contribution reconciliation, and member application processing—reflecting both infrastructure upgrades and operational efficiency improvements.
