BizNews Radio

In a recent BizNews interview, Magnus Heystek, founder and chief investment officer of Brenthurst Wealth, shared insights on the impact of the American stock market on South African investments, especially in light of a strong year for global equities. Highlighting the influence of U.S. tech giants like Nvidia and Alphabet, Heystek noted that South African investors are increasingly exposed to international markets, benefiting from global growth and diversification. He also discussed challenges in the local property market, specifically for companies like Balwin Properties, which are struggling due to high interest rates and reduced mortgage approvals. In a shifting economic landscape, Heystek emphasizes the importance of adapting portfolios and encourages engagement in financial literacy to help young investors understand and benefit from these trends.
