SFS Private Wealth has appointed Matthew McCabe as Managing Director, Regional Clients, strengthening the firm's commitment to expanding its presence across regional New Zealand.

McCabe brings more than 25 years of experience in wealth management, with a strong background in sales and relationship management. He joins SFS Private Wealth from Apex Group, where he most recently served as Head of Wealth Administration.

In his new role, McCabe will lead the development and expansion of the firm's regional capability, enhancing its ability to deliver high-quality, bespoke financial advisory services to high-net-worth individuals and institutions throughout New Zealand.

Jason Lewthwaite, Chief Executive of SFS Private Wealth, said the appointment comes at a pivotal time for the business.

"McCabe joins SFS Private Wealth as we continue to invest in our capability and expand our reach. Our boutique independence allows us to operate with agility, while our international connections provide access to premium offshore investment opportunities that support diversification.

"We are focused on growing our presence nationally, delivering tailored solutions that support our clients' long-term objectives, including intergenerational wealth preservation and legacy planning, while leveraging global investment networks — whether sovereign wealth, institutional funds, or UHNW individuals — to help channel capital into key regional projects and productive assets.

"McCabe's ability to build strong relationships, combined with his specialist knowledge across financial disciplines and wealth management, as well as his understanding of client needs, will play an important role in strengthening our offering for clients throughout New Zealand."

McCabe said: "SFS Private Wealth has a clear vision for delivering highly personalised advice and investment solutions. I look forward to expanding our regional presence and supporting clients in achieving their long-term financial goals."
