People say that laughter is the best medicine, but does this count when it comes to finding the cure for money problems?

We find out with DJ Khathu, the South African Hip Hop DJ, radio and music producer, and comedian, who offers up a humorous perspective of our relationships with money.

With his well-known laugh that he even earns an income from, Khathu gives us a peek behind his curtain as a performer and entertainer juggling money and fame.

A quote from this conversation that we believe everyone can learn from is that “It’s not about how much money you make, it’s about how much money you keep.” Well, Khathu shares his experience in keeping the money he has made.

From investing to learning how to cook, we share lessons from the DJ in this episode.

The second episode of our 3-part special with Satrix’s Kingsley Williams, Chief Investment Officer, we talk about Index Tracking and what this really means.

We know that a good investor makes sure to diversify, but the sophisticated investor can do this through funds like Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).

Our whole vibe is that we like to simplify things that are mystified, and one of the more intimidating concepts in the world of investing are ETFs and Index-Tracking.

Simply put, a lot of us just want to know how to put together an investment strategy. This sounds more hectic than it actually is, because it really is all about you and doesn’t require advanced maths.

To help us understand how to do this, we reached out to Higgo van Biljon, the founder and CEO of FinMeUp: a finance-education app that connects you to finance professionals and puts a range of insights in the palm of your hands.

Using Warren Buffett as well as his own personal experience as a guide, Higgo tells the community about the importance in ETFs, doing research, understanding one’s own personality and goals, and coming to grips with the basics.

Tune into this episode to get some tips and tricks from an entrepreneur who applies a teacher’s outlook on the markets.

We went to the Money Summit to catch some insights from a range of people attending the annual LeaderEx event hosted at Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.

From exhibitors and businesspeople to investors and students, we hit up folks randomly walking by the Youth Money Circle stand to just give us their thoughts about finance and investing.

In this episode, which is part 1 in our coverage of the summit, we fished for peoples’ knowledge about property, parenting and finance, Cryptocurrencies, networking and a whole lot more.

A common theme we found in this stream of conversations is that many people want to improve their relationships with money. Hit play to hear about the wide variety of people looking to constantly improve and grow their money.

At the latest LeaderEx Money Summit we managed to grab Bonang Mohale to offer up his insights into leadership and wealth creation.

Who is Bonang Mohale?

He is a famed businessman, CEO of Business Leadership South Africa, Chancellor of University of Free State, best-selling author, and non-executive director of Purple Group (among a host of other companies). That’s a lot of cred right? We’ve only scratched the
surface! Mr Mohale talks wealth, his personal journey, and the motivation he has used to rise into becoming a business heavyweight in South Africa.

If you are a dreamer, doer, and aspiring investor, then you definitely don’t want to miss this short yet inspirational and powerful conversation!

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are an investment vehicle that many pros in the industry love because they contain many shares in on product. To chat about some of the hottest ETFs, we invited Satrix’s Quantitative Portfolio Analyst, Siyabulela Nomoyi.

We talk about the best performing ETFs for the month of August, the value of investing in offshore (international) ETFs, as well as Satrix’s own moves in the space over the last year.

In particular for Heritage month, we spotlight the Satrix Capped All Share Index ETF, which is a super diversified investment containing large to smaller companies within the fund, which is pretty rare in SA. Until December 2022, this ETF will cost 0% TER, and Siya breaks down exactly what this ‘TER’ means.

Did you know that Satrix accounts for 26 of the 90 ETFs listed on the JSE? If you want to compare all 90 ETFs against each other, make sure to check out the EasyETFs portal.

Global central banks’ dance with inflation dominated news, while on the crypto side of things we get caught up on the latest events and even the overlap it shares with September’s Africa ComiCon event.

We also spoke about the financial results released by local companies, as JD offered insight into Discovery’s (JSE:DSY) and Shoprite’s (JSE:SHP) earnings. He also sheds light on SA’s Massmart (JSE:MSM) being bought out by USA’s Walmart (NYSE:WMT).

We love it when a young INVSTR encourages people to save and invest. And our guest, Sven Meyer, is all about that at only 19 years of age at the time of recording.

In the spirit of keeping things young and fresh, Sven and our host play a game of ‘Never Have I Ever’ to kick-off the chat, highlighting a few of the early lessons our guest has learned in his own investment journey.

From goal-based investing to giving insight into how he learned to navigate finance jargon, as well as the 4% Rule he learned, this episode is chockfull of gems. Sven also tells us about the mistakes he had made in his own approach, which everyone can learn from.

He also gives a shoutout to veterans in the finance space, Simon Brown and Sam Beckbessinger, whom he learned heavily from when starting his journey.

Give this episode a listen to find out why Sven is a big fan of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), which are an investment product that you can find out all about in this episode with Nerina Visser here. We take a sneak peek into Sven’s own portfolio as he tells us about the shares and products he himself has invested in, and which ones are performing well and which aren’t.

We want to show some love to our Namibian listeners and INVSTRs. Flying the Namibian flag high in this episode is Jacobine ‘Ms EasyVestor’ Amutenya.

From our studio in Jozi to Jacobine’s home in Windhoek, we went across the border to bridge the gap between our INVSTRs’ experiences via this episode with the social media maverick.

We get to know how she began her own journey toward financial freedom, from the initial investing mistakes she made, to understanding what motivated her to even start in the first place.

Make sure to join us as we all take a peek into Ms EasyVestor’s portfolio as well (yep, we go there).

Jacobine also tells us about how she conducts research on the assets she buys, so if you’re looking for a way to start make sure to give this episode a listen.

Side note: if anyone tried to tell you that social media is bad, tell them that we have many investors, like Jacobine, who found the path for financial freedom via Twitter.
