This year’s conference is particularly significant as it marks the 25th anniversary of CFA Society South Africa — a milestone celebrating our longstanding contribution to advancing ethics, education and excellence within the investment profession. As the global economic order undergoes a profound transformation, the conference will explore the shift from a rules-based multilateral system to a more fragmented, multipolar world. This transition is reshaping the investment landscape, introducing heightened uncertainty, policy divergence, and structural risks across markets.

The programme will bring together leading industry voices to examine how capital markets, institutions and investors can adapt in an environment where navigating complexity is fast becoming a key competitive advantage.
