GTC
GTC is a leading financial advisory business, specialising in the areas of retirement fund administration and consulting, healthcare consulting, private client wealth management, short term risk solutions, investment management, fiduciary services and other areas of financial advice. GTC also operates a unit trust management company and is a licensed investment manager for both retirement funds and private clients in accordance with the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA).
Collectively the GTC group employs approximately 120 staff in three major national centres. Assets under management and administration total R42 billion.
Over 100 000 fund members participate in some 350 retirement funds, most through one of several GTC umbrella funds. Additionally GTC consults to several thousand private clients in terms of their wealth management goals.
GTC was established in 1991 from within the Grant Thornton Johannesburg audit practice, itself part of Grant Thornton International. Effective late 2012, GTC was obliged to separate itself from Grant Thornton due to various international regulations imposed by the SEC in the United States, with Grant Thornton Capital changing its name to GTC and rebranding.
GTC has consistently been recognised within the industry as conducting best practice, specifically being awarded various PMR awards over the years, culminating in the 2024 PMR.africa Diamond Arrow Award of Excellence, for the 7th consecutive year, and rated the highest in the category.
In November 2024, GTC won first prize in the EBnet Evolutionary Awards for Evolution in Member Outcomes. EBnet, a leading knowledge portal for the retirement industry, celebrates innovation in pensions, healthcare, and financial planning through its annual virtual conference.
This award highlights GTC’s commitment to improving retirement outcomes with innovative, client-focused solutions and advancing member wellbeing in the industry.
