Boules and bull markets
With the temperature at 33 degrees and an almost tropical humidity, the scene was set for an evening of networking and pétanque (boules). Only the view of the Gherkin and the Walkie Talkie buildings acted as a reminder that the setting was London, not Provençe. Hay's Galleria was an idyllic location for The Southern African Actuarial ConneXions (SAAX) Group event.
Our members were joined by Gideon Nell, global head of business development at Sanlam Global Investment Solutions, who shared his insights into next-generation solutions to help diversify balanced, multi-asset and diversified growth fund manager risk.
The strategy is managed with a systematic investment process, driven by a mathematical rule-based programme that removes human emotion from investing, and has gathered a US$150 billion following. Gideon gave a captivating presentation on the potential of the strategy to help the conundrum of investment portfolios in a post 30-year fixed income bull market.
A round robin pétanque tournament ensued, with strong competition for the number one spot, and ultimate glory going to Leith Raw.
The SAAX Group is a member interest group of the IFoA that meets in London to network, challenge and engage each other.
