Lauren Jacobs, Senior Portfolio Manager at Satrix, highlights some of the challenges faced by women on their wealth creation journey - and what to do about them.

In this episode of Ghost Stories, we get stuck into the world of fixed income - a space that retail investors often overlook in favour of equities. Yusuf Wadee of Satrix concurs with The Finance Ghost's cricket analogy: fixed income returns act as the singles that keep the scoreboard ticking over. But that doesn't mean that investors should default to low-yield cash accounts. Veteran fixed-income portfolio manager James Turp from Ninety One explains how his funds aim to optimise returns in the sweet spot between cash and bonds. And now, with the launch of the Satrix Income Actively Managed ETF (AMETF), investors have an easy way to access this expertise.

Private markets come with challenges related to daily price discovery, liquidity and due diligence. Although ETFs cannot solve these issues, they can act as a liqudity sleeve in situations where committed institutional capital can be invested in a liquid ETF until the private market manager calls the capital. Duma Mxenge joined me on this podcast to explain how this works.

The talk in investment markets is that the AI "bubble" may soon burst. Nico Katzke, Head of Portfolio Solutions at Satrix, disagrees with these predictions, though he does caution investors about potential risks. What can we learn from the historical valuations of tech stocks?

The team at Satrix has clearly been busy. They've launched two brand new ETFs to help South Africans tweak their exposure to offshore markets. If you're ready to learn more about Europe and Japan, then you're in the right place. And since most offshore portfolios in SA are really just a proxy for Big Tech, this is diversification that is worth paying attention to. Siyabulela Nomoyi joined me to explain.

The newly listed Satrix Income Actively Managed ETF is designed to offer investors a higher yield than traditional money market funds, along with all the benefits that come with ETF structures. Yusuf Wadee explains how to turn lazy cash into enhanced returns.

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have emerged as a transformative solution, for public markets and also as a strategic bridge to private market exposure. The border between traditional and alternative asset management is dissolving. Clients are driving the convergence, seeking integrated solutions that blend public and private exposures. Duma Mxenge of Satrix explains.
