Company Overview
NMG Benefits provides consulting, actuarial, and administration expertise in the healthcare and retirement fund environments and extends to financial planning for individuals.
This allows NMG to provide end-to-end solutions across the healthcare, retirement fund, and financial planning needs of employers and their employees.
We urge our clients to look at their employee benefits through an actuarial lens.
Our goal is to ensure that the common contract between employer and employee – which sets out expectations of performance – is underpinned by informed policies that encourage productivity, loyalty, and an engaged employee but at the same time protects the future financial security of institutions that employ people.
At NMG, the leadership and staff realize that we have been placed in a position of privilege and trust to manage the well-being of our client's financial futures.
We are extremely proud that more than 50 blue chip South African companies trust our advice and implement our recommendations.
Role Overview
NMG Benefits in cooperation with NMG Financial Planning has embarked on a joint initiative that seeks to entrench financial planners within the wider NMG Corporate client base.
This is a fantastic opportunity for experienced financial advisers to take their practices to the next level or lay a solid foundation for less experienced financial advisers that require client opportunities and assistance in growing their practices.
Provide holistic financial advice over various financial planning dimensions such as savings and retirement, investments both local and offshore, life and ancillary risk planning and estate and legacy planning.
Financial planners at NMG are the custodians of our client's wealth and wellbeing.
We seek to provide unbiased and independent advice to enable clients to plan and execute in achieving their goals and aspirations, and we act as coaches and trusted advisers throughout their and their families' lifetimes.
We maintain the highest standards of regulatory and legal compliance and believe that our moral imperative is to uplift others as we create great client outcomes in everything that we do.
