Guest - Ayanda Majola and Kagiso Tloubatla – Founders of SV Capital [A South African investment company]



Are you ready to invest but not sure where to start? In recent years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility due to factors like geopolitical tensions, global economic uncertainties, and unexpected events like the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the high cost of living continues to rise, it’s becoming ever more difficult to save and put money away. That makes investing all the more important so that you can make your money work for you. The key to successful saving is consistency and discipline. Even starting with small amounts can lead to significant savings over time. As you see your investment grow, it can motivate you to save even more and make it easier to reach larger financial goals in the future.

Because traditional investments like stocks and bonds are susceptible to global and local events, people everywhere are seeking alternative investments as a way to hedge against inflation and earn higher returns.

South African investment company, SV Capital, is on a mission to make investing straightforward and accessible to everyone, especially young adults looking to start owning their wealth. Launched in 2017 by chartered accountant and financial analyst Ayanda Majola, and wealth management specialist, Kagiso Tloubatla, the company is taking a strictly local approach by allowing clients to invest as little as R500 in a herd of cattle.
