Titan Wealth Introduction

In 2021, Titan Wealth set out to create a top-to-bottom, fully integrated service to make wealth management more efficient – and more effective – for individuals, advisers, businesses and investment professionals alike. We’re tackling the fragmentation holding back the wealth management sector, its clients and their advisers – to everyone’s frustration. By vertically integrating separate wealth service components under one roof for the first time, we’ve created a better way of working for everyone’s benefit.

Our values are:

Creativity– We relentlessly seek new ways of thinking and new methods of delivering, so we can keep rewriting the rulebook for wealth services.

Commitment– It takes time, effort and energy to make an impact. There’s a ‘can do’ spirit in everything we do: for advisers, individuals, businesses and professional investors.

Collaboration – Bringing the system together allows us to bring people together more effectively: around ambitions, assets, solutions, performance. We’re inviting people to join us and see for themselves the difference we can make as a whole.

Our Cape Town team: Your needs determine where you work – whether that be in our Cape Town office, your home or anywhere else in South Africa that suits your life. Cape Town is our ‘Tech Hub’ with the majority of our engineering team based there. We encourage a work-life balance with flexibility on location and hours.

One shared culture:

• Multi-disciplinary teams working together on challenges and masterfully delivering award-winning, cutting-edge solutions.
• An informal atmosphere where leaders are accessible to problem-solve or provide support – in person or remotely.
• Your personal wellbeing is front and center with a commitment to making you feel comfortable.
