Editor's Thoughts.

It was an absolute pleasure to attend yesterday’s FNB Retirement Insights 2026 event at the Goodman Gallery in Joburg.

For two reasons:

1. The unique approach of sharing the top 10 insights with South African artists to depict in visual arts form really brought home the meaning of what we do.

2. The banking perspective brings a different angle to the trends seen in the institutional benefits and investments space.

You can hear more about my highlights in my Weekly Scoop.

Have a great weekend!
