  What should advisers really expect from a DFM?

  Aug 26, 202625 minS0

  As advisers gain access to better research, technology and investment tools, discretionary fund managers (DFMs) increasingly have to prove where they genuinely add value. In the latest DFM Discussion, Robus Group head of investments, Devin Shutte joins Citywire South Africa editor Ruan Jooste to discuss manager selection, portfolio construction, fees and why avoiding bad investment decisions can be as important as finding winning ones. They also explore offshore diversification, private markets and whether AI will strengthen the DFM model or commoditise some of the research advisers currently pay for.

  Why the biggest regulatory shift in years is still to come

  Jul 30, 202638 minS0

  South Africa’s financial services industry is on the brink of its biggest regulatory overhaul in years, yet many advisers may still be underestimating what’s coming. In the latest episode of Money, Markets and Masterminds, FSCA divisional executive for regulatory policy Eugene du Toit unpacks the regulator’s new three-year regulation plan, explains where the COFI Bill fits into the picture, and why the future of regulation is about far more than simply adding new rules. Du Toit also reveals why the FSCA is determined to reduce regulatory complexity over time, shares what advisory firms should be doing now to prepare, and discusses how artificial intelligence, open finance, cyber resilience and other emerging technologies are reshaping the regulatory landscape. If you want to understand where regulation is heading before everyone else, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

  The adviser’s outsourcing dilemma

  Jul 28, 202629 minS0

  Are advisers still investment managers, or have they become relationship managers in an increasingly outsourced world? In this month’s DFM Discussion on Money, Markets and Masterminds, Citywire South Africa editor Ruan Jooste sits down with Equilibrium managing director Florbela Yates to tackle one of the biggest structural shifts in financial advice: the rise of the discretionary fund manager. They unpack why more advisers are handing over investment decisions, whether DFMs are genuinely improving client outcomes or simply helping practices scale faster, and what advisers should really be looking for beyond a three-year performance table. The conversation also explores fee pressure, operational due diligence, AI, digital engagement, alternative assets and why short-term performance chasing remains one of the industry’s biggest pitfalls.

And what role should financial advisers play in a digital world where credibility is often measured in likes and followers? Whether you’re a financial adviser, fund selector or simply interested in the future of investing, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
