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/

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 ).

While investing has become more mainstream and accessible over the last few years, we still have a long way to go to ensure women and the youth are investing as well.

Cleola Kunene, Head of SME Development and Customer Experience (CX) at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), joins us to talk about how we can further expand and diversify the investor demography.

While big strides have been made in changing the investment landscape, by getting more and diverse people to invest, Cleola also highlights the challenges we still face in accessibility and representation.

Investing alongside family and friends has its advantages and disadvantages, because experiences are never the same for everyone. That’s why we brought back our favourite set of twins to talk about being comfortable with conversations about money between family and friends, and more, for this episode of Easy Does It.

We talked about their favourite investments and their not-so-favourite ones as well. They also share their investment strategies as they debate investing in companies you use, and their divergent risk appetites.

Bulls and bears? Recession? Dollar-cost averaging? Store of value? If you have come across these words/terms before but aren’t sure what they really mean then we’ve got you covered.

Our chat with Ludwik van Wyk continues as we talk about a wide range of topics that relate to a recession.

We talk about emotions related to buying shares and having discipline through the best and worst times in the markets, to the value in investing in different assets in anticipation of a recession, and what makes commodities (raw materials/primary agricultural products) so attractive when the economy isn’t doing so well.

The Managing Director at Telos Wealth Capital offers up practical finance tips that everyone can apply to improve their personal finances.

In the first part of our conversation with Ludwik van Wyk, we chat to the Managing Director at Telos Wealth Capital.

We spoke about his upbringing and what shaped him into the investor he is today, what hedge fund managers do, and the three investment principles he lives by.

He also encourages investors (new and seasoned) to understand the businesses and industries they have interest in as a means to starting their investment journeys.

And finally, Ludwik delves into what a recession really means to everyday people. Even though interest rates may seem far removed from people watching the news cycle, he puts recession in a way anyone would understand (and should beware of).

Anna Machaka, the author of Little Money Egghead, which is a children’s book about money, joins us to talk about empowering children with financial literacy.

We take a tour through Anna’s own journey with money as a young child, which we believe many South Africans would be able to relate to, and see how she came about to author her book after becaming a parent.

Even though Anna’s book is written for children aged 3 - 12 years old, Anna shows us just how the lessons go beyond the kids, and extend to parents and guardians as well.

Hit play on this episode to get a peek behind Anna’s motivations and passion, as well as the guiding principles that other parents can adopt in order to build generational habits.
