Mark MacSymon

I’m a wealth manager at Private Client Holdings and a Certified Financial Planner®. In 2017, I was awarded the prestigious Financial Planner of the Year award by the Financial Planning Institute of Southern Africa (FPI). For more than a decade, I’ve authored various articles on topics related to wealth management and appeared on CapeTalk Radio, SAfm and Classic FM to share my views.

I believe the most important attributes of modern financial planning professionals are impartiality, transparency, technological proficiency and a commitment to service excellence. My tertiary qualifications were obtained at Stellenbosch University, the University of Pretoria, the University of the Free State and UNISA. Although a strong academic background is essential to rendering a quality wealth management service, the most valuable commodity in the financial planning profession is trust, built over time. Results matter, underpinned by the values of independence, professionalism and client-centricity, and the process of embracing a goals-based approach to positioning family resources yields optimal results.

About

About Private Client Holdings

Founded as a corporate tax consultancy practice in 1990, Private Client Holdings developed into a full spectrum asset and wealth management company and has since grown into a Family Office.

While the concept of a Family Office is by no means a new idea internationally, we are taking the lead in South Africa when it comes to providing high net worth families with an all-inclusive financial solution.

We offer a forward-thinking service rooted in our integrated organisational structure, which is made up of six specialist divisions: wealth management, portfolio management, financial services, fiduciary services, risk management and cash management.

While each unit concentrates on a different aspect of wealth management, they also work together to deliver a cohesive and in-depth Family Office offering.

In 2021 Private Client Holdings was rated the Top Wealth Manager of the Year for the boutique firm category by Intellidex Top Private Banks & Wealth Managers published by Financial Mail Investors Monthly.
