Despite taking Latin and not accounting at school to study law, Wilhelm eventually qualified as a Chartered Accountant and obtained the CFA charter.
He then spent twelve years working for and alongside some of the most renowned capital allocators in South Africa, first at PSG Group, and then at RECM. After gaining incredible experience – both intellectually and emotionally – Wilhelm joined like-minded partners to found Rozendal Partners.
Wilhelm has a very wide field of interests, and predictably enough spends very little time pursuing most of these. But his first loves are his family and allocating capital, and he manages to find ample time for those.
Paul then attended an executive program in Value Investing at Columbia University in the U.S. and has followed this investment philosophy ever since. He then joined RECM as an analyst and finally as a portfolio manager, building further on his investment experience.
Paul enjoys traveling the world meeting companies and experts to uncover investment opportunities. He also enjoys spending time cycling and on family beach holidays. Rozendal Partners fulfils his life-long dream of building a great company with his partners.
Madeleine has worked in administration and operations in the financial services industry since 2010 and joined Rozendal Partners in 2018 to do what she does best – keep things running smoothly. She oversees the firm’s operational functions, spanning finance, compliance, administration and client service, and is known for her grounded perspective and quiet ability to get things done.
Madeleine studied Commerce at the University of Pretoria and the University of South Africa, graduating in 2015, and earned her ACCA qualification (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) in 2025. A practical thinker with a creative streak, she’s not afraid to roll up her sleeves.
In her spare time, Madeleine pursues creative projects – restoring or upcycling furniture, experimenting with mosaic and pottery or tackling DIY. She also enjoys supporting local arts and culture and, most recently, skydiving – for peace and perspective.
Monique’s approach to her work is both practical and logical, making her a natural problem solver. Her bubbly personality and innate ability to connect with people shines through in her knack for liaising with stakeholders and managing the office.
In Monique’s spare time, you’ll find her lost in the pages of a good book, jet-setting to new destinations, or cherishing quality time with her family, friends and dogs.
Jenna studied Pure and Applied Mathematics at the University of Cape Town, followed by an Honours degree in Computational and Applied Mathematics at the University of the Witwatersrand.
Joining Rozendal in 2024, Jenna’s role focuses on data-driven investment analyses and insights. Her ongoing Master’s in Theoretical Astrophysics at UCT informs her analytical approach to problem solving and she plans to pursue a PhD in the same field in the near future.
Jenna’s interests include rock climbing, running and hiking, passions that fuel her ambition to trek Mount Kilimanjaro and the Himalayas. In quieter moments, she enjoys spending time with friends over good food and good conversation.
SJ joined Rozendal Partners in early 2026 as Head of Distribution.

SJ previously held similar positions at Credo Wealth, Truffle Asset Management and RMB Asset Management, and earlier in his career was involved in asset consulting, asset manager research and stockbroking.
