🎬 Episode 2 of The Art of Manager Fusion is LIVE on EBnet.Stream: How Multi-Managers Have Simplified the Life of Trustees.

Brought to you by Alexforbes Investments.
Episode 1 asked the big structural question: multi-manager or investment consultant?

Episode 2 gets personal. A trustee speaks candidly - directly and honestly - about what happened when their fund moved to a multi-management approach. Not in theory. In practice. In the boardroom. With real governance implications, real accountability shifts, and real member outcome improvements.
This is the conversation that usually doesn't leave the room. 🚪🔥

Because theory is one thing. Hearing a trustee describe what changed at their fund - the burden that was lifted, the accountability that improved, the outcomes that followed - is something else entirely. 💡

For every trustee, principal officer, and investment committee member who has ever wondered whether multi-management is worth it - this episode answers that question in the most compelling way possible: experience. 💼🇿🇦

Because real for members starts with trustees who make better governance decisions — and this episode shows what better looks like.

Here's a scenario that plays out in South African retirement funds every single day. 😬

An employee goes to work. Their contribution is deducted from their pay. They assume it's on its way to their retirement fund.
It isn't.

The employer has held it back, perhaps because of cash flow problems, perhaps for other reasons. And the longer it stays unreported, the harder it becomes to recover.

Rodney Kekana, Chairman of the Private Security Sector Provident Fund, knows this challenge intimately and in this week's EBnet.Stream , he shares the practical steps that every trustee board must take to identify, pursue, and recover arrear contributions before members pay the price. 💼🇿🇦

Because for members starts with trustees who take this seriously.

Here's what makes Episode 11 of Heatwave Horizons genuinely different. 🌍

We've heard from climate scientists, actuaries, investment managers, and infrastructure specialists across the series. Now we hear from the two perspectives that arguably matter most for how SA's retirement industry actually responds to climate risk:
The regulator: Kershia Singh of the FSCA South Africa
The asset owner: Jolly Mokorosi of the Sanlam Umbrella Fund — navigating them in practice. 💼

Between them, they map the regulatory compass that should be guiding every trustee board and investment committee in South Africa right now.

Sponsored by Sanlam Corporate.

Because in climate investing starts with understanding the rules, and the people setting them.

We've spent a lot of time talking about what Two-Pot was designed to do. 🏺

Now it's time to talk about what it's actually doing — including the parts nobody fully anticipated.

Michelle Acton, Chief Experience Officer at Old Mutual South Africa, brings a uniquely informed perspective to this conversation on EBnet.Stream's — drawing on real member behaviour, real fund data, and the real operational challenges that have emerged since the Two-Pot system went live.

The consequences you haven't thought of. The implications nobody's flagging loudly enough. And the questions every trustee and HR professional should be asking right now. 💡💼🇿🇦

Because means staying ahead of the curve and not catching up after the consequences have already landed.

Here's the question that used to define impact investing. 🤔
"How much return are you willing to sacrifice to do good?"
In private markets in 2026 - that question is becoming obsolete.
Episode 11 of , sponsored by Old Mutual South Africa Alternative Investments, makes the case that impact and financial performance are no longer in conflict and that sustainable investing in private markets is delivering real, competitive returns alongside measurable real-world outcomes. 🌍📈💼🇿🇦

For trustees and institutional investors who have been watching this space from the sidelines this episode gives you the framework to engage with it meaningfully.

Because includes understanding how your members' money can work harder, for them, and for the world around them.

Here's the thing about the active vs passive debate. 🤔
Most people act like it's been settled. Passive wins on cost. Active rarely justifies the fees. Move on.

But Avikar Somaroo of Liberty Group SA doesn't think it's that simple — and in Episode 7 of , he and Leon Greyling make the case for why the debate deserves to be reopened in 2026. 🔥

Markets have changed. Conditions have shifted. And the blanket conclusions that felt obvious five years ago may need fresh examination today.

Because means never being too comfortable with a conclusion, especially one that affects your members' retirement outcomes.
