Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards                       
Investec is hosting an investor briefing today starting                         
at 10:00 (SA time) which will focus on the key impacts                          
resulting from the adoption of International Financial                          
Reporting Standards (IFRS).                                                     
From 1 April 2005 the group is required to prepare its                          
consolidated results (comprising the results of Investec                        
plc and Investec Limited) in accordance with IFRS.                              
Previously these were prepared in accordance with UK                            
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP). The                           
first set of IFRS compliant financial statements that                           
will be prepared by the group will be for the year ending                       
31 March 2006.                                                                  
The group`s transition to IFRS has been performed in                            
accordance with IFRS 1 `First-Time Adoption of                                  
International Reporting Standards` and other relevant                           
standards as expected to be applicable at 31 March 2006.
