The NDB Wealth Junior Masters tournament also saw wins by Taniya Minel in the Silver Under-15 Division and Yannik Kumara in the Bronze Under-11 Division, with each also awarded hefty, Rs.100,000 NDB Wealth accounts. In addition, each of the tournament’s 50 participants also received a Rs.5,000 NDB Wealth account for just taking part.

We are proud to play our role in nurturing young athletes, assuring the future of this sport.
When you play competitive golf, you need to focus on core elements such as commitment, planning, foresight, calculation and ambition; unsurprisingly these are also the hallmarks of exemplary financial planning. As such, we feel that golf, as well as other sports of a similar calibre and mindset, best fits with the NDB Wealth brand. It allows both players and their families a better understanding of our diverse range of financial planning options, which in turn provides them with immeasurable opportunities for the future.”
