I am confident that Kerrin will provide the leadership required during the transition period, and know that she will be well supported by the strong and experienced Old Mutual Wealth management team.

We have a business in place today that is truly centred on catering for the financial needs of high net worth customers and I would like to thank both Andrew and Jürgen for their contribution and also wish them all the best going forward,” Macready concluded.
