About Nedbank Private Wealth in the UK
From our office in London, we provide a full range of wealth management services to UK residents and UK resident non-domiciled individuals.
Whether you are currently resident in the UK or about to be, we can help to structure your finances to achieve the best outcomes for you and your family.
We can help with wealth planning, investment management and private banking. We also provide UK residential mortgages, as well as lend against UK investment properties or international investment portfolios.
Our awards validate our commitment to clients. For example, we have won the title of best UK private bank for the past seven years in the City of London Wealth Management Awards – an honour voted for by our clients.
Our end-to-end service
Wealth planning
Your needs are unique to you and, as such, you need your own wealth plan. Our team of wealth planners has decades of experience and ensures you access the best expertise to grow, protect and transfer your wealth – for example, in collaboration with our trust practitioners. It’s about finding the right solution for your circumstances and wealth objectives.
Investment management
We start by taking the time to understand your financial goals and aspirations. We actively manage clients’ investments, using a team of experienced professionals, and offer a comprehensive and dedicated service. Or, if you prefer to make your own investment decisions, we can help you manage them through our execution-only service.
Private banking
We pride ourselves on providing a bespoke personal service to manage all your day-to-day banking needs, wherever you are or however complex your circumstances. With our own balance sheet, we can lend against UK properties, as well as against investment portfolios. Our treasury team provides quick and complex foreign exchange services.
Case study
Different currencies, different jurisdictions
An international couple required a bank account to fund their UK life, as well as an international bank account, and start to build their investment portfolio.
Case study
Blending execution-only and managed investments
A client who was introduced to the bank by a business partner has since used the bank extensively to support his family and diverse finance needs.
Case study
Constant attention while overseas
A client who came to the bank feeling let-down by her previous wealth manager knows she does not have to be in the UK to receive a high level of service.
