Absa Wealth and Investment Management announces the appointment of Armien Tyer as Head of its Investment cluster covering active, passive and alternative asset management with effect from 1 December 2013. Armien is a seasoned investment professional and leader, having fulfilled the role of Managing Director at Sanlam Investment Management for six years and served on the board for seven years.

In addition to actively managing money on behalf of clients, Armien previously held various senior leadership positions overseeing strategy and distribution and was an associate management consultant at McKinsey working across a variety of industries, including wealth.
