Jacques van Niekerk

Jacques is a senior Tax & Fiduciary Specialist at Investec, with more than a decade of experience in the fiduciary and financial services industry. He specialises in estate planning, wills, trusts and tax, helping individuals, families and business owners navigate the complexities of protecting and transferring wealth.

Jacques joined Investec in 2019 and currently forms part of its Tax and Fiduciary team. His role includes advising clients on complex local and international estate-planning matters, while working closely with Investec’s wealth management teams to integrate tax and fiduciary planning into clients’ broader financial strategies. He is also involved in developing and delivering technical training and thought leadership across the business.

As Investec continues to expand its Tax and Fiduciary offering, Jacques is establishing the team’s presence in the Southern and Eastern Cape, with a particular focus on supporting clients and advisers across the region.

Away from tax legislation and trust deeds, Jacques is a husband and dad of two and firmly believes that estate planning should be practical, understandable and, most important of all, executable.
