Samantha Bowen
Private Wealth Manager
Samantha was born and raised in Portsmouth, UK and attended school in the English country town of Petersfield. An entrepreneur at heart, Samantha ran her own business for five years before joining the financial services industry in a senior position with an international company.
Samantha emigrated to South Africa and joined an international financial services company where over a six-year period she grew their African footprint in Botswana and Zambia. Under Samantha’s helm, the teams achieved their best performances in 2012 and 2013. Samantha believes in continuous learning and expanding her skills. She has achieved certification from the Milpark Business School for financial planning and the Chartered Institute of Securities & Investment.
Samantha’s success in the industry didn’t go unnoticed and she was headhunted to set up the Cape Town office when Carrick opened its doors. Under Samantha’s leadership, her personal team dominated, achieving numerous awards for performance in 2015 and 2016. Samantha was personally nominated for the Annual Directors Award in 2015 and won the top Associate Award in 2016.
Things she’s interested in:
Samantha likes wildlife and landscape photography, and also enjoys exploring the wine estates around Cape Town.

In every interaction, I commit to upholding the age-old principle of the stewarding of wealth, guided by principles of integrity, diligence, and prudence. I vow to prioritise my client's financial well-being above all else, striving to preserve and grow their wealth with the utmost care and expertise.

A WORD OF RECOMMENDATION
I first met Sam in 2018 and was taken back by her enthusiasm for her job and for helping her clients. It comes as no surprise to me that Sam is one of the most successful advisers in the off-shore market and her passion for creating tax planning solutions for her clients is second to none. She is a pleasure to work with and she is always willing to help other advisers with their clients as well as her own.
