About

The Investment Forum is South Africa’s premier thought leadership event for financial advisors, asset managers, discretionary fund managers, and wealth professionals. Each year, it brings together leading local and international experts to unpack the issues shaping global markets, client portfolios, and the future of financial advice.

In 2026, The Investment Forum returns with a renewed and intense focus under the theme:

The investment future in retrospect: Seeing the unfamiliar in a familiar way

The future often arrives disguised as something unprecedented - AI, geopolitical shocks, inflation and new financial products. At first glance, it feels unfamiliar but look closer, and the echoes of history are clear. Cycles repeat. Human behaviour persists. Innovation often reimagines what already exists.

At the 2026, Investment Forum, delegates will gain the tools to cut through the noise, reframing today’s complexity through the lens of the familiar. The result: Clarity, context, and confidence to advise and invest with greater perspective in an ever-shifting world.
