Why work with us

In a world of growing corporate activity and consolidations, the value of independent financial advise cannot be overemphasised. However, independent financial advisers are generally small and vulnerable to various factors that impact their sustainability, including access to capital, increased operating costs due to regulatory pressures, succession planning among other business headwinds. Black Independent financial advisors are particularly vulnerable as they often lack basic support, yet transformation goals remain distant and policymakers fear reversal of previous gains.

These businesses need support to strengthen their operations, grow their books, attract quality human capital, secure funding, meet ever increasing compliance requirements, and withstand competitive pressures. With decades of experience in the wealth management industry and corporate finance, the SyTra Capital team is able to provide tailored solutions to support wealth management firms and black-owned independent financial advisory businesses in particular across South Africa to develop and grow into reputable brands in the financial services sector.
