Hurlbatt & Associates is a general practice operating under the Old Mutual brand. We are a group of established Personal Financial Advisers who work with our support staff to offer holistic financial advice in KwaZulu-Natal. Each adviser has a specialisation. You will receive the same careful treatment from all of them.

Tony Hurlbatt, our principal partner, started with Old Mutual in 1983. After years as one of the country’s top advisers he gathered others who shared the same drive. That is when the practice was established. We are now a team who support one another — and our clients — through the ups and downs of life.

The practice has been named the number one in KZN for many consecutive years. The work of staying there is simple, and not easy: keep learning, combine forty years of experience with younger advisers, and treat the relationship as the product.

“Our vision is to be the leading practice in South Africa, specialising in building and strengthening client relationships.”

Tony started with Old Mutual in 1983 after moving to South Africa from Rhodesia. Before he began crunching numbers he was an explosives engineer. He has become a well-known name within Old Mutual and the financial industry — National Top 25 Adviser, Circle of Distinguished Advisers, Regional Top 25.

He is passionate about the practice. Most of his clients have been with him for the last thirty years and more. When he is not working he is with his family, or deep-sea fishing.

How we advise

Holistic advice, not a product menu.

We follow a proper financial-planning conversation: understand your life, identify the gaps, and implement a plan you can live with. Advice is given in your interest, as a licensed Old Mutual Personal Financial Advice practice.

  • Lifetime planning

    A clear picture of where you are, where you want to be, and the steps that actually get you there.

  • Protecting income and family

    Life, disability and severe-illness cover shaped around the people who depend on you — not a catalogue.

  • Retirement

    Building a retirement you can live, not merely reach. Annuities, preservation and the long view.

  • Investments and wealth

    Growing and preserving capital through Old Mutual Personal Finance, with the discipline of a written plan.

  • Education

    Putting schooling and university on a footing that does not surprise you ten years from now.

  • Estate and legacy

    Wills, liquidity and the quiet work of making sure what you have built reaches the right hands.
