Science beats psychology in advice, says S Africa’s PCH

12 Jun 17

With South African clients focused on overseas investment opportunities, local wealth manager Private Client Holdings (PCH) uses investment science rather than psychometric testing to advise clients.

With South African clients focused on overseas investment opportunities, local wealth manager Private Client Holdings (PCH) uses investment science rather than psychometric testing to advise clients.

Robo-advice

PCH is one of only a dozen professional practices approved by South Africa’s Financial Planning Institute (FPI), meaning more than 50% of its advisers have to carry the professional FPI designation.

Ratcliffe says the company’s private clients are largely split between young professionals and the more established, wealthier clients, so it has been developing a tech-based solution for a younger and less-affluent end of its business.

He adds that PCH’s primary focus is always on the multi-family office client. However, the firm has been developing a tech solution to offer this younger segment of clients a tech touch point, which is expected to launch later this year.
