Welcome to our bi-weekly newsletter, where we are delighted to present valuable insights from distinguished thought leaders, Francois du Toit, Founder of Propulsion, and Michael Frantzeskou, Director. In this edition, we delve into enhancing future self-continuity to improve retirement savings behavior, an analysis of the impact of China's reopening on the global economy, and the significance of wealth-boosting retirement security that begins on campus. We also discuss global investment opportunities and present two round table features on DFM and Retirement Planning. Additionally, we highlight two significant events to note: Humans Under Management 2023 and Meet the Managers 2023. We hope you find this edition informative and useful.
