TRANSFORMATION AUDIT INDABA 2016“From Strategic Agenda to Transformation Implementation in the Finance Sector”

The Black Management Forum’s Transformation Barometer found the long-term solutions to improve transformation include “improving the education system radically so as to provide a steady stream of work-ready young people that are able to compete on the rapidly advancing technology front worldwide”.

In a recent research report released by 27four Investment Managers, which provides seed capital to start-up black fund managers, black fund managers manage only 6.88% of estimated total assets in an industry worth R3.68 trillion.“Total assets managed by black firms as at June 30 2013 was valued at R253.1bn. This represents an increase of 37% since June 30 2012 and 177% since June 30 2009,” ….“Skills outside of equity management remain a challenge within black firms, with far fewer dedicated fixed-income and multi-asset class offerings and, overall, the level of skill diversification outside of conventional long-only South African equity and cash is disappointing,”the report says.

“This Conference will Provide you with the Latest Information on the Implementation of Strategies Aimed at Steering Sustainable Transformation in the Finance Services”
