Event details

Join us for the continuation of our South Africa series, which will provide monthly content for international advisors to HNW clients. This episode will look at different asset classes favoured by South Africans: traditional international investment exposure, international property, alternative assets and more. We will discuss the latest macro trends affecting these decisions including COVID and the impact of the US Election result.

The discussion will be chaired by Dean Douglas:
