For Nicholas Sorour, investing has meant being there for his clients in life’s most difficult moments.

Over the years, he sat with them in their final days; not to talk about endings, but to offer a sense of normality. Sharing updates on markets, portfolios, and the world they’ve spent a lifetime building.

In those moments, it wasn’t about performance.
It was about presence. Familiarity. Trust.

As a Portfolio Manager, Nicholas has seen firsthand how deeply personal this responsibility becomes – not just for clients, but for their families too.

Because at its core, this work isn’t only about managing wealth.

It’s about being there, through every chapter.

The Otto1890 Way

For Portfolio Manager Heidi Saayman, this moment is about heritage gratitude, and the relationships that define our work.

135 years on, what matters most hasn’t changed — caring for our clients, building lasting partnerships, and always acting with integrity.

While others waited, we acted.

There was a time when markets didn’t move in real time.

Prices travelled slowly. Information lagged. Opportunity didn’t wait, but people had to.

So we changed that.

By creating a direct line to global markets, we removed the delay, and with it, the distance between insight and action.

It wasn’t obvious. It wasn’t easy. But it gave us something that has always mattered:

Perspective. Speed. Edge.

And it’s a mindset we still carry today.

In 1890, Johannesburg was defined by uncertainty, noise, and rapid change.

Otto Pollak didn’t wait for stability.

He helped build it.

From those early days on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange to the defining moments that shaped our business, through adversity, resilience, and acts of quiet courage, one thing has remained constant: character.

Our history is not just about longevity.

It’s about the principles that carried us through uncertain markets, shifting political landscapes, and generations of change.

Sharp minds. Steady hands. Open hearts.

Not a slogan, but a standard.

That same mindset continues to guide how we think, how we invest, and how we show up for our clients today.

Because investing is not just about managing capital.

It’s about stewarding trust, consistently and over time.

For Wealth Advisor, Nandi van der Merwe, wealth management starts with one simple truth: no two clients are the same.

Behind every portfolio is a different set of goals, responsibilities, and life moments. At Otto1890 – investing is personal, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all.
We build portfolios around people and their needs.

The Otto1890 Way 🤝

For Daphne Byers, it’s about honouring heritage while staying focused on what matters most — people.

Real relationships. Genuine care. Advice grounded in integrity.

Because behind every portfolio is a person, and that’s what truly sets Otto1890 apart.

For Nomsa Mhangwani, investing isn’t just about systems, it’s about people.

As a Business Analyst, she understands the importance of getting the mechanics right. But what defines the experience is something else entirely: knowing your client, and being known in return.

Because when relationships are built with care and consistency, trust follows - naturally.

That’s how we work at Otto1890.

Personal isn’t an exception here.

It’s the standard.
