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’sΒ a β€˜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 β€˜Tech Hub’ with the majority of our engineering team based there. We encourage a work life balance with flexibility on location and hours

- 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.
