-Global & Local founder Michael Haldane.
Investment advisory companies can never be successful if they rely solely on the expertise of a single individual person. It takes teams of people who each have a specialized skill and set of experience to effectively manage your invested capital in the way you need.
These people are the people that make it all work, the machinery that drives your investments forward. After having worked for a number of financial institutions for a number of years, Global & Local founder Michael Haldane realised that many financial institutions were not offering the independent advice to their clients as they promised.
In 1999 Mr. Haldane decided to create a company that would offer real independent advice to clients who deserved independent investment advice underpinned by independent research and due diligence.
Wade successfully completed a higher certificate in financial planning in 2016 and took on the role of an Independent Financial Planner for Global and Local. The company opened a branch in the south of Johannesburg where Wade was the branch manager for 2 years.
Wade has been based at the Global and Local, Emmarentia office for the last 2 years establishing and supporting a wide client base. The focus is on meeting with clients is to find the best solutions for individual needs, reviews of investments and advice. In 2020 Wade joined the Board of Directors of Global and Local.
