Northern Cross Wealth Management qualifies for FAIS Compliant Seal

On 25 August 2017, Northern Cross Wealth Management, a Cape Town-based financial services provider and offshore wealth management firm, was awarded the 2017 FAIS Compliant Seal from Masthead, in recognition of excellent compliance standards.
