Hannes van der Westhuyzen

Head of Fixed Income / Director

CA(SA)

Together with Louis van der Merwe, Hannes founded Truffle in 2008. He began his career at Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) in 1989 on the money market desk, where he was instrumental in starting the forward rate agreement market in South Africa. After a couple of years, Hannes joined stockbroking company Huysamer Stals, where he became a director and specialised in trading hybrid instruments between equity and the interest rate markets. In 1996, Hannes was approached by start-up company Mettle (formally known as Boland Financial Services) to take on the role of treasury specialist. The role involved maintaining a close working relationship with Boland Bank and in 1997 he was asked to take over as treasurer of Boland Bank. Through takeovers and mergers, Hannes became the treasurer of NBS Boland Bank and later BoE Bank, which was taken over by Nedbank in 2003. In 2005, he was appointed Head of Global Markets and an EXCO member of Nedbank Capital.

Lowest Annual Return

Annualized return is the weighted average compound growth rate over the performance period measured.
Investment performance is for illustrative purposes only. Investment performance is calculated by taking the fees into account and income is reinvestment on the reinvestment date. Investment growth is for the amount of R10 000 since inception of the fund.
The value of investments, as well as any income earned from them, might decline as well as rise. Historical performance is not a predictor of future outcomes. If the currency displayed differs from your local currency, currency movements may cause returns to rise or decrease. Investment objectives and performance targets may not be met, and losses may occur. We advise you to obtain independent financial counsel to ensure that this Fund is appropriate for your investing needs. Performance is not given for share classes that have been in existence for less than 12 months. No assurance is made that any investment will or is likely to produce profits or losses comparable to those obtained in the past, or that losses will be avoided. When compared to other performance charts or marketing material, the charts presented may utilize various Sector performance start dates, resulting in slight discrepancies.
