Transparency: seeing what others don't show

Why you should never have to dig to find out what you're paying.

When it comes to investing, information is power — and too often, that power sits on the wrong side of the table.

Many of South Africa's largest investment platforms still make it surprisingly hard for investors to see what they're really paying or what they can truly invest in. Some platforms don't publish their administration fee bands publicly, so you only discover the charges once you've started the onboarding process. Others limit the range of funds and portfolios visible to clients — reducing choice and steering investors toward in-house products.

At Prospr, we think that's backwards. You shouldn't have to dig to find out what something costs or what's available. Transparency isn't a slogan for us — it's a design principle.

Every fee, from platform to brokerage to fund TER, is displayed upfront and reflected in your account value daily. Every portfolio and manager you can invest in is visible, searchable, and explained in plain language.

We believe that when investors have full visibility, they make better decisions — and better decisions lead to better outcomes over time.

Transparency also builds trust. That's why we show not just what Prospr earns, but how we earn it — from interest spreads to revenue shares on default portfolios. You'll never find hidden rebates, undisclosed "model fees," or invisible product restrictions here.

In short: Prospr exists so investors can finally see what's behind the curtain. You bring the goals. We bring the clarity.
