Top wealth managers in South Africa
PSG Wealth was awarded the Top Wealth Manager among large institutions at the 2023 Intellidex Top Private Banks and Wealth Managers Awards, while Centric Wealth Advisory was ranked first among boutique wealth managers.
This is the twelfth edition of the Intellidex Top Private Banks and Wealth Managers survey, which ranks wealth managers and private bankers on a range of products and services.
The research process involves a comprehensive questionnaire completed by participating banks and wealth managers and an online client survey.
The awards are based on various criteria, including client satisfaction levels, investment returns, value for money, and the likelihood of clients recommending the services to others.
According to the report, the Top Wealth Manager awards for large institutions and boutique firms are based 40% on the judges’ assessments of responses in the firm questionnaires and 60% on client ratings from the online survey.
PSG Wealth has won the Top Wealth Manager: Large Institutions award every year since 2019. This year, PSG also won three of the six archetype awards in the wealth management category – lump-sum investor, executive, and retiree.
In 2023, Nedbank Private Wealth rose from third to second place on the ranking, while RMB Private Bank took the third spot after being fourth last year.
Centric Wealth Advisory won the Top Wealth Manager award for boutiques for the second consecutive year in 2023.
