A message from Gielie’s desk

As we step into 2024 with the first edition of Through our Lens, I trust you’re well-rested and recharged for the year ahead.

To kick off, our seasoned investment professionals provide a comprehensive outlook on the investment landscape for 2024. Bringing it closer to ‘home’, our CEO Carl Roothman, shares insights into what 2024 holds for the Sanlam Investment Group. For more on our mergers, growth milestones, and the organisation’s commitment to sustainable investing in 2024, read Key insights into 2024: navigating growth and sustainable investing.

In this edition, we highlight our commitment to shaping a sustainable future for people and the planet. Sanlam Investments leads the charge in championing South Africa’s sustainable future by spearheading the exploration of green hydrogen projects.

Our commitment to sustainable investing (SI) is further emphasised in The Big Book of Sustainable Investing. In collaboration with Robeco, this resource will empower individuals at all levels of their sustainable investing journey, providing insights into SI fundamentals, strategy selection and market regulations, enabling informed and impactful investment decisions.

The article The private sector plays a vital role in shaping SA’s energy future tackles South Africa’s electricity shortages by discussing how South Africa’s private sector is stepping up, nurturing community development, and driving economic growth.

Global fund flows indicate a rise in indexation popularity, with lower costs being a big driver.  Kingsley Williams, Chief Investment Officer at Satrix, advocates blending active and indexed strategies in the article The arithmetic is not in active funds’ favour.

In this installment of In the Spotlight, we spend time with Fikile Mbhokota, CEO of Satrix and a seasoned industry leader dedicated to fostering true financial inclusion in South Africa. Learn more about her multifaceted role as an impact investor, mother and avid runner.

May the year ahead bring sustained prosperity, growth, and shared achievements. Our commitment to sustainable investing remains steadfast, and we eagerly anticipate another year of collaboratively shaping a greener future together.

Kind regards,
