Nedbank Private Wealth has strengthened its advisory capability with the appointment of Anelisa Mti as a wealth manager, a move aligned with the bank’s broader strategy to deepen services for high-net-worth and family-wealth clients across South Africa.
Mti joined the division in December 2025 and will focus on private wealth management, long-term wealth accumulation and intergenerational wealth solutions. Her role is expected to support Nedbank Private Wealth’s push to deliver more tailored, advice-led offerings as demand grows for holistic financial planning among affluent clients, according to Nedbank Private Wealth.
She brings experience from Fairbairn Consult, where she provided independent financial advice across investment planning, retirement strategies and broader financial structuring. Her exposure to independent advisory models is viewed as increasingly valuable as private banks compete on depth of advice rather than product-led solutions.
Prior to that, Mti spent time at FNB South Africa as a private wealth adviser, working with affluent clients on customised wealth strategies. She also developed strong technical expertise at Chartered Wealth Solutions, progressing from associate planner to retirement specialist, where she focused on long-term income planning and regulatory compliance.
Mti holds both an undergraduate degree in financial planning and services and a postgraduate diploma in financial planning from Nelson Mandela University. She is also a certified financial planner, accredited by the Financial Planning Institute of Southern Africa, a designation that remains a key benchmark for advisory credibility in the sector, as noted by Financial Planning Institute of Southern Africa.
Her appointment comes at a time when South Africa’s private wealth market is becoming more competitive, with banks and independent firms investing heavily in advisory talent to retain high-value clients amid volatile markets, rising regulatory scrutiny and growing intergenerational wealth transfers.
According to PwC Global Private Banking Outlook, demand for comprehensive wealth advice is increasing as clients seek guidance that integrates investments, tax planning, retirement and estate structuring. Nedbank’s latest appointment signals its intent to position its private wealth unit as a long-term advisory partner rather than a transactional banking service.
