Maitland appoints Thomas Linklater as a wealth manager

Maitland, the multi-jurisdictional wealth manager and fund administrator, has appointed Thomas Linklater as a wealth manager from 1 March 2011.

Mr Linklater has a high-achieving 25-year career in portfolio and wealth management. He joins the Maitland Johannesburg team that offers multi-jurisdictional integrated legal, fiduciary, wealth management and fund services to private and corporate clients.

Steve Georgala, MD of Maitland, said: “South Africans are increasingly internationally mobile. Exchange control has been largely abolished and a world of opportunity has opened up to private individuals and companies who wish to structure their affairs optimally across multiple jurisdictions. Whether it is offshore investments, pensions or consolidated family office reporting, South Africans are keen to explore ways of becoming global citizens. Mr Linklater’s experience and skills set will be invaluable to Maitland in servicing our clients.”
