Nedbank Private Wealth is proud to share that we have been recognised by Global Finance as the Best Private Bank for Sustainable Investing in Africa for 2026. This honour forms part of Global Finance’s 11th annual World’s Best Private Banks Awards, which spotlight institutions that excel in serving the unique needs of high-net-worth individuals around the world.

How private wealth management delivers personalised, data-driven excellence

The awards acknowledge banks that move beyond traditional investment performance to deliver personalised, forward-looking solutions. Winners are selected through a rigorous evaluation process that merges editorial board insights, industry feedback, and independent research. Both quantitative and qualitative performance factors, measured between July 2024 and June 2025, are assessed to identify true industry leaders.

This accolade reinforces our ability to combine advanced digital tools, data-driven personalisation, and the human expertise of our private wealth advisors to help clients navigate complex, multigenerational wealth journeys.

Our commitment to sustainable wealth management

Sustainability has long been integral to how Nedbank Private Wealth builds, protects, and manages wealth. This award affirms our deep commitment to embedding environmental-, social-, and governance (ESG) principles into our investment strategies.

By integrating ESG considerations, we help clients preserve and grow their wealth while contributing to positive environmental and social outcomes. Our investment philosophy recognises that companies with strong sustainability practices are often best positioned to deliver long-term, risk-adjusted returns. This belief guides our valuation-based approach and helps ensure we meet our clients’ mandates with clarity and purpose.

As Global Finance founder, Joseph Giarraputo, has noted, success in today’s private wealth landscape requires more than performance. It demands a deep understanding of each client’s aspirations and a personalised strategy that reflects both their values and goals.

Wealth management rooted in responsible growth

Annette Francke, Managing Executive for Private and Wealth, explains the significance of this achievement: ‘This recognition reflects our dedication to sustainable investing as a cornerstone of our value proposition. We believe responsible wealth management is not only good for our clients but essential for shaping a better future. Every campaign, initiative, and strategic investment is designed to deliver impact without compromising client outcomes.’

Our approach to wealth and management blends deeply human financial guidance with the best technology and global insights. From personalised portfolio construction to high-net-worth wealth management solutions, our financial managers and private wealth advisors place client well-being at the centre of every decision.

Delivering meaningful value for high-net-worth individuals

For high-net-worth individuals seeking clarity, confidence, and purpose in their financial decisions, sustainable investing has become an essential consideration. Clients want to know their wealth is working for them while also supporting the world they care about.
