Insight
A game-changing year
Already 2018 will go down in history as a game-changing year.
From a delayed State of the Nation Address by President Cyril Ramaphosa, to a challenging Budget Speech, which saw the first increase in VAT for
25 years this eventful few months has spurred on positivity and cautious optimism in the future of South Africa.
Moreover, the ratings agency upgraded the country's credit rating outlook from negative to stable.
As a result, we've seen investor confidence come out of hibernation.
This positive upswing in sentiment is the reason why we are focusing on a "leveraging" solution. Securities based lending is an under utilised alternative to unlocking liquidity or to introduce gearing into portfolios. This is an interesting option and certainly has a place within client's wealth portfolios.
We remain focused on providing holistic solutions that address the diverse requirements of our clients. As a result, we continue to enhance our Global Wealth Solutions platform to enable our clients to effectively diversify their portfolios offshore.
Finally, we proceed with our mega-trends series, taking an intriguing look at the 'sharing economy' and examining the implications this shift has for established businesses and investments. And don't forget to view the latest offerings from eBucks Lifestyle.
A positive and optimistic tone has certainly been set for 2018. We look forward to helping you harness these opportunities.
Best wishes,
Eric Enslin
CEO RMB Private Bank
