We are a vibrant, and an independent, global business management group providing comprehensive guidance to institutional and private clients in an international capacity. We are proud of the fact that we build long-term relationships with our clients and that our approach results in “Trust for Generations”.
Marcus Cicero (106 - 43 B.C.), was an orator, statesman, political theorist, and philosopher of Ancient Rome. He stated that Magnificence – "greatness of spirit" – is: ‘the thinking about and executing of great and lofty things with a certain large and splendid determination of spirit’. Magnificence, then, is a ‘part’ of Courage. He defines the parts of Courage - Fortitudo in Latin, as:
| - |
magnificence (magnificentia), |
| - |
trustworthiness (fidentia), |
| - |
patience (patientia), and lastly, |
| - |
perseverance (perseverantia). |
In considering the relationship between our clients and ourselves, we believe that Fortitudo is a strong foundation to build upon, to expand from, and to ensure that quality grows from its roots. It is fortunately not a one-sided arrangement, but one that takes from both sides of the bond to produce a final product.
Turnstone has continued to expand globally, in order to provide a safety net of jurisdictions. Clients can be secure that their specific fiduciary requirements are met, within the appropriate environment that will suit their needs. We have been, and will always be, alert to our responsibility to consider each client, and his or her needs, as unique. The framework within which we operate, is based on long-term requirements, and must be flexible enough to serve the future, and last for generations.
“Trust for Generations” remains our motto and, quoting Cicero again, he defines Fidentia (trust/trustworthiness), as that by which: ‘in great and honourable things, the spirit places great confidence in itself with fixed hope and trust’. This characteristic underpins everything that Turnstone undertakes on your behalf!
Forward with confidence,
Your sincerely,
Heinrich Odendaal
Chairman
