George, South Africa Sanlam Full time

Date: 5 Dec 2024
Location:

George, Western Cape, ZA

Company: Sanlam Group

Who are we?

Sanlam Private Wealth crafts customised investment portfolios for high net worth private clients, charitable institutions, trusts and corporate entities.

With assets under management and administration of more than R200 billion, we offer a comprehensive and integrated suite of wealth management solutions. These include equity, retirement and offshore investment portfolios, fiduciary and tax services, an equity-backed finance offering, a global stockbroking service and derivatives trading.

At Sanlam Private Wealth, our clients are at the core of everything we do. For this reason, we employ people with passion – individuals who thrive in an entrepreneurial, high-energy environment.

Sanlam Private Wealth is part of the Sanlam Investments Group, a leading investment and wealth management business in South Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Australia and Europe.

Sanlam Private Wealth - Southern and Eastern Cape

In South Africa, Sanlam Private Wealth has a footprint of nine regional offices. Two of these offices are in the Southern Cape region - George and Knysna and another in the Eastern Cape region - Gqberha, servicing clients from Swellendam in the west and the greater Karoo.

Each of the three regional offices has portfolio managers, and the offices are roughly equal in their contribution to Sanlam Private Wealth’s profitability.

There is a marked influx of people moving to the region and we expect this trend to continue for at least the next decade. It is therefore a strategic growth area for Sanlam Private Wealth, and the successful candidate will drive this growth by tapping into his or her local networks of brokers, advisers and direct client base.
