What you can expect from us

Financial advice should help you understand your position, prepare for change and make decisions with greater confidence.

Advice that considers the whole picture

Your investments, protection, retirement, medical cover, business interests and estate plans are considered together as part of one financial strategy.

Independent guidance

Recommendations are based on your circumstances, priorities and comfort with risk, with access to a broad range of suitable financial solutions.

A relationship that develops over time

Regular reviews help keep your financial plan aligned with changes in your family, career, business, health and long term goals.

Specialist knowledge when it matters

Aurum Trust works with trusted legal, tax, accounting and investment professionals when your financial needs call for additional expertise.

Advice grounded in professional standards

You receive advice from professionals who follow recognised industry standards and remain committed to ongoing learning and sound financial practice.

Continuity you can rely on

Aurum Trust’s team-based approach and succession planning help ensure that your advice and service can continue over the long term.

How we work

Financial planning that starts with understanding you

Stage 1: Understand - We begin with your present position, responsibilities, concerns and plans for the future.

Stage 2: Plan - We help you build a coordinated plan covering the areas that matter to your circumstances.

Stage 3: Review - As life changes, we review your plan and make adjustments where needed.

Keeping your financial plan relevant

Your financial plan should change when your life changes. Let us know about important developments such as a change in employment, income, family circumstances, business interests or appetite for risk. This helps us keep your advice appropriate and up to date.

Advice designed to continue


Your financial guidance should not depend on one person. Aurum Trust has continuity arrangements in place to support ongoing client service should a member of the team leave, retire or become unavailable.

Since 1995, Gustav Potgieter and Aurum Trust have managed our investments with exceptional care and professionalism. Gustav also serves as a trusted advisor to my two sisters and, having overseen my late mother’s finances with great diligence, was appointed executor of her estate.

Over the years, we have developed complete confidence in his investment guidance and recommendations regarding portfolio adjustments. I can recommend Gustav Potgieter without hesitation.
