Johannesburg - The new Wealth and Investment Management portfolio from Absa Bank [JSE:ABSP] paves the way
for a powerful pan-African franchise, says CEO Nomkhita Nqweni.
Absa announced the integration of its wealth, asset management, stockbroking and investment administration platforms into a single business called Wealth and Investment Management.
The new business will have about R230bn in assets under management.
