Octagon Financial and Graviton invite you to join Menachem Kay and Ninety One’s Jeremy Gardiner as they look ahead to what 2021 might hold for both South Africa and the rest of the world.

Rapidly declining infection rates globally coupled with equally rapid first-world vaccination programmes should see a strong second-half surge, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere. But where does that leave us?

From an investment perspective, markets – thanks to generous central bank intervention – have miraculously recovered, as has our currency, but can they hold these gains through 2021?

Menachem and Jeremy will attempt to answer these and other pressing questions in this timely event.

About our speaker: Jeremy Gardiner

Jeremy is a regular voice in the media, at conferences and to the investment-related world at large, responsible for commenting on current affairs, economics and investment markets. In his position, he is inundated with information from the world’s top analysts, on everything from politics to petrol.

Jeremy is Marketing Director, Communications, at Ninety One. He has been with the company for 29 years. During this time the business has grown from a small Cape Town asset management firm to a significant global business managing clients’ assets of approximately R2.6 trillion*.  Although he studied accounting at the University of Cape Town and economics at the University of Witwatersrand, Jeremy is neither an accountant nor an economist, but uses these skills to demystify what the accountants and economists are saying.

*As at 30 September 2020
