Global Reach, Local Edge
Mail & Guardian
|01 August 2025
At the 2025 Institute of Retirement Funds Africa (IRFA) Conference, Prescient Investment Management will present under the theme “Global Reach, Local Edge”, showcasing how global ambitions can be grounded in local strength.
-
Bastian Teichgreeber, Chief Investment Officer, and Seeiso Matlanyane, Head of Equities, will lead the session, offering insights into how Prescient delivers global equity returns through a systematic, rules-based investment process, all while amplifying South Africa’s competitive advantages.
With the offshore investment allowance for retirement funds now at historically high levels, the temptation for local investors to shift capital abroad has never been stronger. Global markets offer depth, liquidity, and opportunity. Yet, this privilege is not without its tensions. A wholesale reallocation of assets away from South Africa risks weakening the very capital markets and institutions that pension funds rely on to meet their long-term obligations.
This paradox presents a strategic inflection point for the retirement industry: How can we embrace global diversification without abandoning local development? How can South African asset managers remain relevant and competitive in a globalised investment arena?
