We are proud of our international heritage, as well as being part of the communities of the Isle of Man since 1987, Guernsey since 1990, Jersey since 1994, London since 1998 and Dubai since 2011.
We can chart our heritage back to 1834 with the establishment of the South African Association for the Administration and Settlement of Estates – one of the oldest trust companies in the world.
Based on these firm foundations, we have developed a comprehensive wealth management and private banking operation on behalf of a wide range of clients. These include private individuals, families, non-trading companies and trusts.
Through our parent company, Nedbank Group, we have built our reputation on personal relationships, consistency and careful attention to clients’ needs over time.
Nedbank Group is one of South Africa’s ‘big five’ banks listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
It offers a range of wholesale and retail banking services, which includes a wealth offering and our sister company, Nedbank Private Wealth South Africa. The Nedbank Private Wealth brand was launched in 2012 when both companies were brought together under the Nedbank brand.
With the stability and financial strength of an international group underpinning a vast range of opportunities to grow and protect your wealth, it is still the personal touch which really sets us apart.
