More than 35 years of helping others take care of tomorrow.
A South African financial services group, active across South Africa and the wider continent, built on long relationships and a genuinely people-first way of working.
Built over decades, one relationship at a time.
Tennant Group was founded by Steve Tennant and has grown over more than 35 years into a competitive player in the South African and African financial services industry. The group serves corporate employers and their people with a single, integrated set of services rather than a scatter of disconnected products.
In September 2020, the group broadened its shareholding structure as a deliberate move towards transformation. Kuseni Dlamini, who leads KDI Capital Partners, became Chairman of the Tennant Group Board of Directors, bringing fresh energy and vision to a firm with deep roots.
Through all of it, one idea has held: help people make valuable, future-minded decisions. Take care of tomorrow, today.
The advantages of one considered group.
One group, one touch-point
Benefits, wealth, administration, HR, finance, payroll, training and pan-African cover, in a single relationship instead of many separate providers.
Independent advice
Tennant Wealth is tied to no insurer or asset manager. A multi-manager approach means advice serves you, not a product shelf.
Software we build ourselves
A proprietary administration and accounting system, maintained by our own team, that scales to more than 450,000 members for a single client.
A senior bench, 35 years deep
More than three decades in the market and over 150 years of combined executive experience behind every mandate.
Genuinely people-first
Our mark is people in a circle for a reason. Smart, adaptable and diversity-embracing is simply how we work.
Compliance and rigour
FSCA-licensed, a registered retirement-fund administrator, with statutory deadlines met as a matter of course.
Our mark is people arranged in a circle, and it is not decoration. Smart, adaptable and diversity-embracing is simply how we work, with each other and with the organisations who trust us with their people.
Meet the people behind the group.
Together, the leadership bench carries more than 150 years of combined executive experience.
