Last month, we had the privilege of hosting our Family Conferences in South Africa. The event delved into critical topics such as the global polycrisis, investment risks in the GNU South Africa, and saw discussion of many invaluable insights gained from decades of client advisory experience.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Durban, Johannesburg, and Stellenbosch. Watch our highlights video from the week.
We've had a terrific week.
What we always try to do is to blend
discussions on investments
and financial capital with broader matters
that affect the family.
We've had terrific engagement with the audiences
that we've had in Durban and then Johannesburg,
and we're looking forward to more of that today.
Discussions not just on investments
and the poly crisis that we are facing
and how to deal with that.
We've had some very interesting discussions also
on domestic economy here in South Africa,
the impact on the domestic stock market of the government
of national unity and the ways in which we
can be positive about that.
But we've also looked at the pitfalls that families face
in planning for their future in estate planning, in dealing
with the next generation.
And what's been particularly gratifying, I think,
is the way in which we've had audiences discussing
these issues with each other.
So we've just had to, if you like, light the fire
and the audience has taken over
and we've had terrific discussions
between the audience about these issues that they face.
And there's nothing better actually we find than a peer
to peer insight on these matters.
