Wealth manager positions

GTC, one of South Africa’s leading advisory practices (formerly Grant Thornton Capital), has several vacancies for wealth managers. As a consequence of the counselling requirements of Section 36 of the Pension Funds Act, GTC is required to provide financial advice to numerous members on an ongoing basis. GTC’s proprietary technology platform sees that retirement fund members are communicated with through a combination of automated process and people engagement.

For those members seeking financial advice (ordinarily having recently joined or leaving a company sponsored retirement fund), these leads are passed on from GTC’s counsellors to wealth managers responsible for new business.

GTC seeks wealth managers to fulfil this advisory role. These positions are in each of the GTC offices around the country and accommodate financial planners with varying degrees of experience and expertise.

Based on GTC’s client engagement model, financial planners are dedicated to either the take-on of new clients or the servicing of existing clients. GTC is recruiting staff in both these roles.

1. New business development

The successful application for this position will provide financial advice and conclude new business from various sources, primarily from leads generated within GTC’s retirement benefit counselling programme whereby members have requested that they be contacted to receive advice regarding their retirement benefit.

It is envisaged that client leads will be allocated based on proven experience and advice capability. These leads are typically segmented on AUM under consideration – up to R10 million, between R10 million and R20 million, and above R20 million.

2. Client servicing

This position is focussed on servicing existing clients through GTC’s proprietary software, Altertude. Servicing is conducted on both a proactive and ad hoc basis, with obligations including:

• Protect, secure, and grow clients’ wealth by providing independent, holistic financial planning advice.
• Consult to, and service the portfolio of clients.
• Adopt GTC’s integrated approach to managing long-term relationships with clients.
• Develop and deliver the agreed business targets whilst remaining compliant and meeting clients’ needs.
• Retain current clients.
• Client servicing is undertaken in strict accordance with GTC’s house-view and internal policies.

FAIS compliance

• Adherence to FAIS, FICA and all other relevant legislation is, of course, obligatory.

Communication requirements

• GTC conducts business primarily in English and an advanced understanding and use of English in all forms of communication is essential. The ability to converse in Afrikaans or in the one or more of the common African languages will be advantageous.
• Liaison with all internal support departments within the designated GTC internal processes to ensure service delivery.
• Most new business opportunities, as well as many client servicing interactions are created and conducted through telephone and video. An appropriate telephone and online manner is therefore a pre-requisite.

Activity management

• Complete, validate and sign-off on daily tasks within GTC’s in-house Workflow system.
• Monitor activity progress.

Skills and experience required

The various positions available require differing experience and qualifications, with a minimum requirement of having attained the Regulatory Exam 5 (representatives), and currently being under supervision, through to experienced CFP’s, holding relevant tertiary qualifications.

• Category 1 or Category 2 registered representatives with the FSCA.
• Financial/commercially qualified graduate.
• A minimum of intermediate knowledge of MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook). Advanced and proven sales, presentation, negotiation, and communication skills.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Self-management with the ability to work under pressure, within a defined compliance framework.

Personal attributes

• Customer and results focused.
• Sales or servicing orientated (depending on the role fulfilled).
• Deadline adherence.
• ‘Self-starter’ with a high level of energy.
• Time management.
• Professional at all levels.
• Ability to investigate, analyse, reconcile, and solve problems.
• Ability to cope well under pressure.
• Well groomed, professional presentation.
• Uncompromising commitment to the client.
• Honesty.
• Confidence.

Remuneration

The new business function is significantly commission based, with a basic salary. Three different remuneration structures are available.

The client servicing function is primarily salary based, together with an incentive structure.

Office hours

While the client servicing positions are more conventionally office hours related, the new business position has working hours which are far more diverse and flexible.

Both positions will conventionally require a minimum of forty working hours per week. The new business positions, being largely commission based may practically take up more time than this.

GTC’s conventional office hours are between 08:00 and 17:00.

Please submit your application together with your CV to recruitment@gtc.co.za clearly indicating in the subject line whether you are applying for the new business or the servicing position, along with the reference number 682156.
