For NPW, the concept of connected wealth is not just a financial strategy, but an integrated way of managing wealth that ensures every decision aligns with broader life goals. Financial needs are not isolated – they are interwoven with personal aspirations, business or career ambitions, family priorities and global opportunities. This holistic perspective ensures that clients are not merely accumulating wealth but using it to shape the lives they envision for themselves and the people they care about.
According to Nandiswa Mxokozeli, managing executive of Nedbank Private Wealth, the promise that underpins the connected wealth approach is clear – if it is on a client’s mind, it is also on NPW’s mind. "Delivering on this connected wealth promise means being highly proactive and looking beyond traditional banking services to offer holistic, tailored advice that considers every aspect of a client’s financial world," she explains. "Our wealth bankers are not just points of contact for clients. They are wealth partners and financial stewards, anticipating client needs before they arise and ensuring they have access to guidance and solutions that reflect both their current priorities and long-term vision."
At the heart of this approach is the belief that wealth is deeply personal. No two people are the same, and financial strategies should reflect this individuality. The connected wealth approach prioritises understanding each client's unique needs, recognising that wealth is not just about security but also about enabling meaningful experiences like acquiring a dream home, investing in a passion project, or ensuring a seamless transfer of wealth across generations.
NPW’s commitment to connected wealth is evident in the way its financial solutions are structured. Its home loan offering, for instance, is more than a means to finance a property; it ensures that the purchase aligns with a client’s broader financial framework. Preferential lending rates connect property acquisition with long-term financial sustainability, reinforcing the idea that every financial decision should serve a greater purpose.
Similarly, structured lending solutions provide clients with the flexibility to unlock liquidity while safeguarding their broader financial ambitions. Whether leveraging existing assets for expansion, securing capital for entrepreneurial ventures, or financing intergenerational wealth-building strategies, these bespoke lending options ensure that clients can grow their wealth without compromising their long-term financial stability.
For those with international financial interests, NPW’s Focus Account provides a seamless platform to manage global wealth. With access to international banking, lending, and investment solutions, clients can navigate cross-border financial complexities with confidence. This integration reduces administrative burdens, enabling them to focus on capitalising on global opportunities while ensuring their financial decisions align with their overall wealth strategy.
Mxokozeli highlights that what truly differentiates NPW is not just the breadth of its financial solutions but the depth of its client relationships. The connected wealth philosophy is not merely about offering financial products; it is about understanding the motivations behind financial decisions and ensuring they align with personal and family aspirations. "We recognise that while our clients’ decisions involve financial considerations, they are never just about money," she says. "They are about the future, family, legacy, and long-term security. Our priority is to have the level of relationship and understanding required to make sure that every financial choice they make is connected to what truly matters to them."
This emphasis on proactive partnership means that NPW’s wealth bankers do more than react to client needs – they anticipate them. By maintaining a long-term view of each client’s financial journey, they provide insights and solutions before challenges arise. Whether adjusting investment strategies in response to shifting global markets, preparing for changes in tax legislation, or identifying new investment opportunities, NPW Wealth ensures that clients remain one step ahead. For example, our portfolio management approach is deeply rooted in understanding our clients' unique needs, balancing wealth preservation with growth opportunities in an ever-evolving global landscape.
Connected Wealth is ultimately about ensuring that wealth serves a greater purpose. NPW understands that wealth is not an end in itself but a means to create the life and legacy each client envisions. Through expertise, foresight and a deeply personalised approach, NPW connects every financial decision to what matters most.
This is what sets Nedbank Private Wealth apart. It is about managing wealth while connecting it to the aspirations and values that define each client’s life. In doing so, NPW delivers financial solutions and the reassurance that every wealth decision is carefully aligned with a client’s personal vision for the future.
