Sasfin Wealth is pleased to announce the appointment of Jonathan Sieff as a Senior Portfolio Manager, based at its Cape Town offices. Sieff brings considerable experience to the role, having accumulated more than 25 years’ experience in financial services, predominantly in the wealth and asset management and private equity industries.

Prior to joining Ashburton, Sieff spent many years working in the United Kingdom as Joint CEO of Fairbairn Private Bank, CEO of Close Brother Asset Management (a £27bn wealth management business), and as CEO Principle Capital (AIM-listed alternative asset management business focusing on emerging markets). Upon returning to Cape Town six years ago, Sieff joined Prescient Wealth Management as CEO.
According to Clinton Sprong, Head of Private Clients at Sasfin Wealth, Sieff’s versatile experience and background in private client wealth management will be invaluable as the business aims to grow its Western Cape footprint.

This is going to become an ever-increasing requirement from our clients who invest offshore and Jonathan will play an integral part in bringing this thinking into the business.”
