In this sponsored episode of Money, Markets and Masterminds, brought to you in partnership with Investec for Institutions, we sit down with Richard Swain, head of institutional coverage at Investec. With more than two decades’ experience across London and South Africa in derivatives, equities and multi-asset solutions, Richard shares his career journey and lessons from navigating two Russian market crises.
The conversation explores how South African pension funds, life companies, asset managers and hedge funds are adapting to shifting markets, what Regulation 28 reforms mean for allocations, and how innovative structuring and technology — from AI to multi-asset solutions — are shaping the institutional investment landscape.
Tune in for practical insights on balancing growth, protection and liquidity in a fast-changing world.
