Charting new horizons: Anthony Palmer Leads Wealth Succession’s expansion into Africa
In our year-end message we alluded to some great things to come for Wealth Succession in 2025.
Our business created a great ecosystem between wealth and succession advisors and our client families. We are expanding our footprint both regionally – into Africa – and from an offering point of view as we continue to transition to a fully-fledged family office – the most loved on the African continent.
To drive this expansion, we are super excited to present the hugely likeable, experienced and competent Anthony Palmer as the new Managing Director of the Wealth Succession Family Office.
Anthony brings a wealth of experience and expertise to our team and clients, and we are confident that his leadership will continue to drive our vision to new heights. Anthony will be supported in his new role by our Founder and Director, Louis Venter as well as the massively experienced broader Group leadership of Craig Featherby.
As founders of their respective businesses, Louis and Craig will be at the forefront of designing the expansion and breaking new ground, with Anthony steering the growing business to excellence.
Anthony is a qualified Chartered Accountant with extensive expertise in finance and investment management. With 24 years of experience in the financial sector, his career began at JPMorgan in London, specialising in structured credit.
Some of his career highlights include:
- Deutsche Bank, New York: As Managing Director for the Alternative Risk Markets Group, Anthony led global initiatives in risk management and strategic financial solutions.
- Carrick Group, Commercial Director: Over a decade, Anthony played a pivotal role in building the retail financial business from the ground up, overseeing product development and investment strategies.
- LNKD Investment Managers, Co-Founder & Director: Anthony manages multi-asset, multi-manager solutions for clients across South Africa and international markets, with expertise in alternative investments such as structured notes, private equity, private lending, debt/equity finance, and hedge funds.
At Wealth Succession Family Office, Anthony will provide trusted advice and strategic solutions to High-Net-Worth families across Africa. His focus on both business and personal matters, combined with his deep expertise and expansive network, will guide families in achieving their financial and succession goals.
Wealth Succession is dedicated to facilitating smooth and efficient custodianship of wealth across generations. Authenticity and trust play a pivotal role and we are committed to safeguard the legacy of families, ensuring that their wealth is managed and transitioned in a way that fosters unity and prosperity for current and future generations.
Our purpose-driven and relationship-based approach fosters strong trust-based associations that consider both investment portfolios and family dynamics, values and long-term goals. As a family office, we prioritise honest conversations and lasting relationships over time.
Under Anthony’s leadership, we will continue to focus on our core pillars of wealth succession: helping families acquire and build wealth, ensuring that wealth is safeguarded against risks, strategically growing wealth through informed investment decisions and facilitating the smooth transfer of wealth to current future generations.
On a personal note, Anthony resides in Cape Town with his family. He enjoys outdoor activities, including tennis, mountain walks with his wife, and supporting their twin 16-year-old sons in their soccer, golf and water polo pursuits.
Join us in welcoming Anthony Palmer to the Wealth Succession Family Office! We look forward to the lasting impact he will make in empowering families to preserve and grow their wealth.
Note from our founder:
“My love for the Wealth Succession business and the families that have placed their trust in us to fulfil promises made to them during their lives – after they pass away, is an all-consuming love affair.
My personal passion lies in my conversations with our old, new and future family clients, and the design of the solutions to their hassle maps. To be able to put a person of the quality of Anthony Palmer at the wheel of our ship, is a massive blessing to me and the Wealth Succession family.
I look forward in supporting Antony as he grows into his new role. Great things come from great partnerships.
Welcome on board Anthony – this is going to be a great journey for all of us.”
Louis Venter
