From a local perspective, South Africa has the added risk of being grey-listed, which has the potential to reduce the country’s capital inflows by 7.6% of GDP on average, according to the IMF. In the local credit market, it hasn’t all been bad news. Over the last quarter, activity has increased as more issuers return to the debt capital market, with total issuance rising by just under R5bn compared to the previous quarter.
As uncertainty prevails, one thing remains clear: we will continue to live in volatile times for the near- to medium-term future and must, therefore, suitably prepare ourselves to navigate it effectively. We believe a careful, considered approach to navigating the South African credit market in trying times like these should focus on these six key considerations, which we at Prescient Investment Management have embedded into our investment philosophy and approach.
Knowing that your investment manager can safely navigate different investment themes, cycles and, importantly, credit events through a rigorously researched and meticulously followed approach will ultimately give you the peace of mind that your hard-earned savings are being well taken care of.Prescient Investment Management Ltd is an authorised financial services provider .
