Know Who We Are
Our History
Umnotho FS was established in 2019 for a sole purpose of empowering our customers with financial freedom to create their family’s wealth and legacy.

Since then, we have grown to partner with Allan Gray, Momentum Life, FED Group, Sanlam Life, Capital Legacy, 1Life and Avbob. Umnotho FS was founded with a belief that true empowerment starts from knowledge, and that there is no one size fits all, hence we ensured a professional interaction with our customers to understand their financial goals and family needs.
