John Kennedy appointed as new Head of Wealth Management at Citadel

Citadel, a leader in specialist wealth management with over 33 years of experience, announced the appointment of John Kennedy to Head of Wealth Management. Kennedy, who has spent 25 years at the company, now oversees a team of 60 wealth management professionals who provide expert advice to close to 11,000 clients and manage R430 billion in combined assets under management and advice.

Kennedy’s appointment comes at a time when wealth management is being shaped by increasingly global lifestyles, demographic shifts and rapid technological change.

Kennedy says the human side of wealth management has become even more important. “Financial decisions are deeply personal and emotional. In an increasingly complex world, one of the most valuable things we can do is listen carefully, understand where
an individual is in their life and help them maintain a long-term perspective.”
