Rob Macdonald

Head of Consulting and Institutional Business

BA, MA, MPhil, CFP

I joined Nedgroup Investments in 2006. In the area of consulting, I oversee the provision of practice management services to financial advisors and I am also responsible for the Nedgroup Investments institutional business, where we provide investment consulting services and investment solutions to retirement funds, medical aids and corporates. Before entering the financial services industry 12 years ago, I was Director of the MBA programme at the Graduate School of Business, University of Cape Town (GSB) where I enjoyed a short career as an academic and consultant.
