Investec launches client network

Investec says it hopes to connect like-minded clients to drive collaboration and new wealth creation opportunities across the full Investec Private Bank proposition.

The initiative will be spear-headed by Deborah Sayagh, who is moving into a newly created role as head of strategic partner relationships.

In her new position, Deborah will be linking clients with third party and in-house specialists as well as each other.

Ryan Tholet, head of Investec Private Bank, said: “We continue to break the mould in terms of the definition of a private bank. We are about enabling clients to create wealth generating opportunities and this new role will formalise what we are instinctively already doing for clients – acting as a catalyst for their success.”

Deborah Sayagh commented: “As private bankers, clients look to us as a trusted adviser who can help with more than just their lending requirements. Successful wealth creation requires strong networks, and with so many like-minded clients and in-house specialists, making these connections will be invaluable. We are challenging the role of a private bank, going above and beyond to ensure our clients reach their success goals.”
