Peregrine says poor market returns have lowered expected prices for the wealth management unit

Financial services group Peregrine is looking to make more acquisitions for its wealth management division following the purchase of Pretoria-based Purpose Wealth.

Commenting on the company's latest acquisition of the wealth management company, Peregrine CEO Rob Katz said “Purpose Wealth, which has assets of just over R1bn, is exactly the kind of business we should be buying and integrating into Citadel.” The group, which comprises divisions such as Peregrine Capital, Stenham Asset Management and Java Capital, announced a decline in headline earnings per share of 40% to 77.8c per share for the six months ending September.

“Everything is working well. The weak Rand boosted assets under management, the business enjoyed strong client retention and controlled expenses well, and redemptions were lower than expected,” Katz said.
