The Map before the Journey – Janet Hugo
I have always been fascinated by maps and the perspective they offer. They don’t just tell you where you are but also show you what lies ahead.
This is similar to financial planning.
Preaching is Easier than Practicing – James Guimaraens
When my eldest son entered the working world this year, I found myself a reluctant guide through the maze of medical aid, life cover, and retirement savings. The fundamental challenge remains unchanged: financial independence is something you must consciously choose to buy. In a world built for immediate gratification, the case for patient, purposeful investing is worth making more than ever.
Sterling Times – June 2026
Despite the winter solstice, we are not hibernating. Our role, as always, is to protect our client’s downside volatility as far as possible and grow the real purchasing power of their portfolio.
Sterling Times – December 2025
As we end off 2025, it’s worth pausing to reflect on a year that few would have predicted. Our team looks back on the events that shaped 2025 and look ahead to the new year. The Rand confounded expectations, elevated global valuations gave way to a sharp April sell-off, and yet markets recovered swiftly to deliver strong real returns for patient investors. Above all, it remains a privilege to serve the clients who place their trust in us.
