Futuregrowth Asset Management

Two weeks ago, several delegates from Futuregrowth attended the annual Institute of Retirement Funds Africa (IRFA) Conference in Cape Town. The theme for this year's event was "Better Together: Building A Socially Secure Future." Head of Business Development, Maseabi Marageni, and Head of Private Debt, Iqeraam Petersen, presented during the afternoon master class session on Day 1 of the conference. The discussion delved into how private debt/credit could fund South Africa’s growth. The IRFA continues to be a beacon of excellence and leadership in the African retirement sector. With its commitment to advocacy, the dissemination of critical information, and education, IRFA plays a pivotal role in shaping the dynamics of the industry. Building upon the successful foundations laid in previous conferences, the 2024 conference set out to further this legacy. It highlighted the importance of collaborative efforts between the private and public sectors, focusing on harmonising processes to create robust, sustainable retirement systems. Thank you to all who took time out to catch-up with us at our stand. We look forward to seeing you again next year!

"Be a good person. Ultimately, our titles and achievements matter less than our actions and character. At the end of the day, it's our humanity and kindness that define us, not our accolades or status. Charity begins at home, and staying true to our roots reminds us of what truly matters." These are the wise words of Ipeleng Selele, panelist at our women's event hosted in September. The event celebrated the remarkable achievements of women in leadership, and our speakers shared their unique experiences and insights on their lives and careers. The day was concluded with a creative sip and paint session for all to enjoy. Click to read our takeouts.
