Learn from Market Veterans
Our investment education program puts you directly under the guidance of professionals who've navigated multiple market cycles and built their expertise through decades of real-world experience.
Cornelius Ndebele
Senior Portfolio Strategist, 22 Years Experience
Cornelius started analyzing emerging markets in 2003, right before the commodity boom that reshaped South African investment landscapes. He's witnessed three major market corrections and helped institutional clients navigate currency volatility during the 2018 rand crisis. His approach focuses on understanding macroeconomic trends rather than chasing short-term gains. What makes Cornelius unique is his ability to break down complex market dynamics into digestible concepts—he spent five years teaching part-time at University of the Free State while managing a R2.8 billion infrastructure fund.
Thabo Mokoena
Risk Management Specialist, 18 Years Experience
Thabo's career began in 2007 at a local asset management firm, where he learned risk assessment during some of the most turbulent financial periods in recent history. The 2008 global crisis became his classroom for understanding how quickly market sentiment can shift. He specializes in helping investors build resilient portfolios that can weather economic uncertainty. His teaching style emphasizes practical scenario planning—students learn to ask "what if" questions before making investment decisions. Between 2019 and 2023, Thabo developed risk frameworks for three different investment firms while mentoring junior analysts.
