Len Jordaan

Len Jordaan is Head of Client Coverage for South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa at S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI). In this role, he works with a broad range of clients and market participants—from exchanges, banks, and asset managers to retirement funds, consultants, and investment platforms—to deepen their knowledge of indices, benchmarks, and index-linked products and strategies.

Prior to joining S&P DJI, Len worked at Absa CIB, where he was responsible for the distribution of NewFunds ETFs. Previously, he was Head of ETFs at Stanlib Asset Management, where he was responsible for the structuring, listing, and distribution of index products. He also worked as Head of Rand Merchant Bank’s ETF business in South Africa and Australia. He began his career in private banking but soon specialized in financial markets and joined the JSE’s graduate recruitment program, where he managed the listing of the first customized derivatives contracts in South Africa and was part of the team that listed South Africa’s first ETF. He has served in a variety of roles for asset managers and investment banks, but has always enjoyed the role and challenge of sales.

Len has an honours degree in economics and a post-graduate diploma in financial planning.
