In a strategic move to reinforce its investment division, Alexforbes, a prominent financial services firm, has announced the appointment of Gyongyi King and Senzo Langa to key leadership positions as Chief Investment Officers (CIOs), effective from 1 April.
Senzo Langa, who has been a dedicated part of the Alexforbes team for an impressive 14 years, has been promoted to Institutional CIO. Prior to his promotion, Langa served as the Deputy CIO for traditional assets and gained recognition as a Citywire+ rated professional. With his deep-rooted experience in the financial sector, Langa is poised to drive the company’s institutional investment strategy to new heights.
Gyongyi King, a seasoned leader with 15 years at Alexforbes, takes on the role of Retail CIO. Having served as CIO for the past eight years, King brings invaluable expertise in managing retail investment solutions. In addition to her new responsibilities, she will oversee the Discretionary Fund Management unit, further strengthening Alexforbes’ focus on individual clients and advisers. Senior professionals Nadir Thokan and Fay Khan will join King’s team, contributing their expertise to the firm’s continued growth in the retail sector.
CEO Dawie de Villiers highlighted the significance of these appointments, noting, “This appointment underscores the importance Alexforbes places on serving individual clients and advisers.” The appointments reflect the company’s commitment to innovation and excellence in investment management.
In line with its ongoing focus on private markets, Alexforbes has made significant strides in private equity, direct property, private credit, and infrastructure strategies, with its SA private markets program reaching R9bn in assets under management. The firm is also in the process of launching its first dedicated Infrastructure Fund of Funds, further solidifying its position in private markets. Given King’s extensive involvement in this program, she will also assume the role of Private Markets CIO, continuing her pivotal role in shaping Alexforbes’ private market strategy.
Alexforbes’ recent appointments signal the company’s forward-thinking approach to investment management and its dedication to fostering strong leadership at every level of the organization.
