Wealth & Advisory
A Legacy Built on Trust
At Confiance, we believe that true wealth lies in relationships, integrity, and enduring values. Our name, derived from the French word for trust, reflects the cornerstone of everything we do, where trust forms the foundation of every relationship.
Founded by Geneé Taylor Bennett, a seasoned wealth advisor with decades of experience serving high- and ultra-high-net-worth clients and families across leading global institutions, Confiance is a boutique private wealth advisory firm. We offer the strategic depth and discretion of a family office, without the exclusivity or institutional distance, while breaking free from traditional structures to provide truly independent, deeply personal, and discreet financial advice. Confiance was born from the desire to serve with empathy, independence, and expert-led insight.
Headquartered in Cape Town with global reach, we specialise in building intergenerational legacies that reflect your values, passions and ambitions through independent, best-of-breed strategies tailored to you.

The Value of Independence
Same Mountain. Different Perspective.Let’s be honest. Most of us have, at some point, been in a relationship we thought was absolutely perfect. We couldn’t see a single fault. Everything made sense. We were blinded and certain. Meanwhile, those closest to us had…...
Debt: Amplifier of Strength — or Fragility?
Why the structure behind borrowing matters more than the interest rate Only a few weeks ago, the conversation was about relief. Inflation appeared to be moderating. Interest rates looked as though they might begin easing and the recent Budget Speech spoke about...
The Green Mamba: Leaving Home Without Letting Go
Untangling the Financial Reality of Global Optionality In recent years, many South Africans in possession of the Green Mamba (and no, not the reptile), particularly those with established wealth, have explored all possible routes to broader horizons. Some have spent...
Health is Wealth: Legacy Lessons I’m Learning with My Daughter
January has a way of inviting good intentions. Gyms fill up. Running shoes come out of cupboards. Promises are made to do better, be healthier and take more care. Most of them fade by February. This year feels different in our house. Jess has just started water polo...

This is the time of year when many South African families find themselves holding their breath. Matric results are being released. University offers are landing. For some, doors are opening exactly as hoped. For others, the news is more complicated. A dream university...
The Holiday Home Dilemma: Comfort, Memories and Money
A few days before Christmas, Jess and I baked Christmas cookies in the kitchen. We had popped into Bredasdorp to do some shopping and the weather had turned. Grey skies, a cool breeze, the kind of day that invites you indoors rather than out. It felt like the...
Season’s Greeting from Confiance Wealth & Advisory
Reflections on a Year That Didn’t Quite Go to Plan As this year draws to a close, many of us find ourselves reflecting not only on what we achieved, but on what did not quite work out the way we had anticipated. Life has a way of doing that. I am writing this from...
Buying vs Renting
When life forces a rethink! For the first time since my early twenties, I am a tenant. It still feels strange to say out loud. Renting has always carried a faint echo of impermanence, a temporary state you passed through before you had arrived. But here I am,...
Help! I have an adult in the house.
The 2 a.m. Realisation I woke up in a cold sweat the other night, not from a nightmare, but from a sudden, stomach-flipping realisation: my daughter is sixteen and a half! The trigger? A week or so ago, I’d popped in for one celebratory drink at Tin Roof, the dive in...
Health is Wealth: A Lesson I Live With My Daughter
The Turning Point We hear it all the time: “Health is wealth.” But for me, it was more than a saying. It became a personal mission. Five years ago, I was tired, stressed and watching my health slip away. Blood pressure sky high, cholesterol rising, energy draining. I...
