BASIL NKUNA

Aspiring Wealth Management Professional
Cape Town

Summary

I am a driven, resourceful, and intuitive individual with a collaborative team spirit, eager to embrace the 12-month Sanlam YEP Learnership Programme with the goal of achieving the NQF Level 4 Certificate in Wealth Management and building a long-term career in the financial sector. I have a strong interest in data analysis, mathematical modelling, and high-performance computation, which I see as valuable tools for understanding financial trends, optimising client solutions, and supporting informed decision-making in the wealth management environment.


Hands-on experience as a learner electrician and solar installer has honed my precision, time efficiency, and analytical thinking, while leading a security team enhanced my client engagement, decision-making under pressure, and adaptability to diverse challenges. I bring a dedication to continuous learning and a results-focused mindset, ready to contribute meaningfully to Sanlam’s vision.
