Everything You Need to Know About EasyEquities: The Top 5 FAQs answered by Ntombifuthi Dube

Many of us dread the conversation, process, and even thought of wealth preservation when it comes to death, but it’s an inevitable part of the journey. The team at EasyEquities have decided to make it, well, easier in every way.

This is why we invited Mbulelo Mpofana, Product Manager at EasyEquities,  and Carly Esterhuizen, EasyEquities VP of Brand, to have this conversation with our community.

The duo introduces EasyProtect, a new life insurance product in the EasyEquities universe to democratise the financial landscape and protect clients’ wealth.

We go from personal experiences in dealing with life insurance, to the features in this new offering that make it suitable for the contemporary, ‘Easy’, generation. Click here to find out more about EasyProtect: https://protect.easyequities.co.za/

Carly Esterhuizen, Brand VP at EasyEquities, hosts this conversation about investing for your kids. She is joined by Justin Pearse, VP of Partner Operations at Purple Group, and Ntombifuthi Dube, Client Experience Team Leader at Easy.

Aside from being teammates at EasyEquities, these three have another thing in common: parenthood. Carly, a new mom, leans on Ntombi and Justin as experienced parents willing to share their insights in navigating family, kids, and finance.

As the first part of this two-part conversation, we get to know our guests’ beliefs, from planning for little ones, managing expectations, to teaching the next generation about the value of money.

This episode is part two of a conversation by parents sharing their insights in navigating family, kids, and finance. This special episode is hosted by Carly Esterhuizen, VP of EasyEquities Brand, and features experienced parents Ntombifuthi Dube and Justin Pearse, Client Experience Team Leader and VP of Partner Operations at Purple Group respectively.

This part of the conversation gets a little more specific about strategy, where we highlight the value of tax-free investing for the next generation, as well as the types of investments these parents like for their kids and why they chose their investments.

Our chat delves into the different ETFs and Unit Trusts parents can invest in for their kids, diversifying their investment portfolios, and the value of exchanging a kiddies’ meal for an investment (because it’s that easy ).

Cautiously Optimistic. This sentiment about the markets in 2024 is how we kicked off the first Easy Does It episode for the new year, an episode where we reintroduce EasyAssetManagement (EAM).

Shaun Krom, EAM’s Fund Manager with over 20 years’ experience, joins us in studio to talk about international and local markets, and finding investment opportunities in inflation and among the macro-risks playing out in the world.

Our conversation spans geopolitics, cyber security, and, of course, asset management.
Shaun breaks down how the EasyAssetManagement team creates and categorises investment portfolios (Bundles), so you don’t want to miss out on this topical and educational chat.

Every year, without fail, markets move - some years more drastically than others. The difference is in understanding why they move as they do.

To give us a clear understanding of the ‘Why’ we invited Duane Gilbert, Chief Investment Officer of RISE - a licensed fund administration, investment management and consulting firm that supports retirement funds and their members.

The conversation contextualises the role central banks and inflation played in driving markets,  how global political events shaped markets, and why the contraction of the Chinese economy affected global markets. We also put SA Inc under the microscope.

Make sure to tune in throughout the chat to hear about some of the challenges and opportunities in the markets.
