Your down-to-earth investment adviser in Pretoria.

I’m the sole owner of my business.

I am a representative of Accredinet Financial Solutions (Pty) Ltd,
an authorised financial services provider FSP 8933.

Investing is not something I just do for a living.

I care deeply about it.

My focus is long-term investing.

Three people had a profound influence on why I do what I do.

How I got there

  • Born in Cape Town and raised mostly in the beautiful Cape Peninsula, in Welgemoed and Durbanville.
  • I completed my schooling at Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool in Pretoria.
  • I qualified as a metallurgical engineer at the University of Pretoria, graduating B.Eng. (cum laude).
  • My career began at UCOR (Uranium Enrichment Corporation).
  • While working there, I studied law part time through UNISA and obtained my BProc degree.
  • I later practised as an attorney specialising in patents at Hahn and Hahn.
  • My next chapter was financial advice, first at Sanlam.
  • A major turning point in my life came in 2001 when I became an independent financial adviser at Accredinet Financial Solutions.

    I have continued to study throughout my career and completed:
  • RPE (Registered Persons Exams) (Equities) through South African Institute of Financial Markets.
  • Advanced Diploma in Financial Planning at University of the Free State:
    ◦ Asset types and Investment Planning
    ◦ Personal Risk Management
  • Practice development programme presented by Fundhouse
  • Class of Business – Class 7: Investments: Integrity Academy
  • Retirement Wealth Preservation and Planning: Integrity Academy

    One thing hasn’t changed: I still love learning.
  • I keep up to date by attending fund managers’ road shows, events and workshops.

Something personal

  • I love learning and will always be a student.
  • An avid reader of investing, psychology, marketing and biographies.
  • Can’t go without coffee. And quality wine.
  • My favourite breakaway is the Good Shepherd Retreat Centre near Hartbeespoort.
  • I enjoy evening views over Pretoria and the Union Buildings.
