Please do be a mate and 12 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,279 Speaker 3: descented along to them. I think they might appreciate that. 13 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 3: To start, some of the new stories that we thought 14 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 3: were important from the week that was, and something that 15 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 3: will affect you directly is that consumer price inflation dipping 16 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 3: to three and a half percent in January from three 17 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 3: point six percent in December. Stable food inflation and lower 18 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 3: fuel prices helping there, but still issues with food inflation 19 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 3: still at four point four percent. Our official unemployment rate 20 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 3: dropping to thirty one point four percent, down from thirty 21 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: one point nine percent in the last three months of 22 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 3: last year. At good news generally, but still so much 23 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 3: to do on this issue. Now, how many millions of 24 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 3: people are unemployed in our country. And then of course 25 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 3: the Reserve Bank saying they're planning to scrap the prime 26 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 3: lending rate, they would call it a sab policy rate, 27 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 3: and that would have an impact as well on what 28 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 3: the repo rate would be called. So it's going to 29 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 3: be interesting to watch that one play out. Tonight, we 30 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 3: bring you a mix of stories from the world of 31 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 3: money from the week that has been an investment school. 32 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 3: This week now, educators explored how investors can survive and 33 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 3: thrive during major market choke points. Floor Gail said, their 34 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 3: chief investment officer and principal at First Avenue Investment Management, 35 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 3: along with Nseka and so call Or, an equity analyst 36 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 3: at saasfen Wealth, unpacking the challenges that are facing emerging 37 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 3: markets and sharing insights and how you can navigate these 38 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 3: pressure points and how you can avoid any of the 39 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 3: trouble that might be looming. 40 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 4: So when we think about choke points, we just think 41 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 4: about other compediments to our invest when thesis is specifically 42 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 4: certainly ones that we didn't see or didn't for you know, 43 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 4: forecasts going into which kind of forces us as investors 44 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 4: to perhaps then make an on site decision about whether 45 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 4: not to continue with an investment and whether or not 46 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 4: the thesis holds up, or to kind of take the 47 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 4: loss to the face and perhaps reallocate capital. 48 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 3: So I mean, I mean a lot of people would 49 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,839 Speaker 3: see just as an obvious example, COVID is a check 50 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 3: as a choke point. The thing about COVID was it 51 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 3: probably affected almost everybody. But would COVID be a good 52 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 3: example of something that was a check a choke point 53 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 3: or could have been? 54 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 4: Oh no, certainly. So I think almost like like COVID 55 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 4: really give us these black swan events where really you 56 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 4: think they don't occur regularly, but they certainly seem to 57 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 4: sharp every five to ten years, and it certainly creates 58 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 4: a choke point opportunity, and you know for investors that 59 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 4: are skilled enough and perhaps have enough cut an opportunity 60 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 4: for certain investors to really get into the certain equities 61 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 4: and positions that we like and that you know haven't 62 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 4: come up on discount for a very long time. 63 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 3: Clelo. There must be so many other examples throughout his street. 64 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 3: And I mean, I know immediately the most famous one, 65 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 3: you know, the Great Depression. 66 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 5: Yes, do you know we we we actually are going 67 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 5: through one now the up ending of the global wall 68 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 5: trade order, right, Bretton Wood institutions are no longer functioning 69 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 5: as they used to function. In fact, I don't think 70 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 5: they exist anymore, by the way. Yeah, so that's a 71 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 5: true point that has led led to the rise of 72 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 5: gold and precious metals as an alternative to the US dollar. Right, 73 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 5: Investors are thinking about the fiscal stability of nations, the 74 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 5: indebtedness of nations. Japan is one of them. If you 75 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 5: look at the long end of the bond thirty year curve, 76 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 5: UH investors expressing their dissatisfaction at hat the deterioration government 77 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 5: you know, financis at that point, with the US being 78 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 5: the same. Right, a lot of countries reinvesting in ornaments 79 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 5: Europe to try to combat UH Russia UH and reinvest 80 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 5: in the economy and infrastructure. So the the level of 81 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 5: indebtedness is out of kilter, right with with with with 82 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 5: the credit worthiness that investors have come to expect, hence 83 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 5: doubt about the veracity of the various currencies. So the 84 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 5: only outlet is gold. Right, So gold is acting as 85 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 5: an anchor now to foreign reserves to fear currency. And 86 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 5: so if you're operating on the stock market and you 87 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 5: don't own gold, you have a big problem because how 88 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 5: else do you create wealth without that asset as an 89 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 5: alternative to money? 90 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 6: M hm. 91 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,559 Speaker 3: And ciccret would would it always be that the major 92 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 3: choke points are kind of you know, depressions or bubbles 93 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 3: or crises. Can other things be choke points too? I mean, 94 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: I suppose in a way what we're going through now 95 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 3: is I mean, I suppose it is a crisis, but 96 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 3: it isn't a crisis. I mean, in history we'll probably 97 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 3: see it as a crisis. I don't know if I 98 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 3: do now, but I'm thinking, for example, I mean a 99 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 3: quantitative easing when that started, that changed people the outcome 100 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: of investments. 101 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 4: No, certainly, so we have you can speak about your 102 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 4: natural ones, the ones that we seem to seem met 103 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 4: precipitated in the market through natural events, or you have 104 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 4: kind of these ones, these self created ones, and that 105 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 4: perhaps when we acted with quantitive easing and we release 106 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 4: so much money into the economy, the reticence around exactly 107 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 4: how we're going to unwind this trade, you know, it 108 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 4: wasn't there. And I think perhaps the short nature, the 109 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 4: short nature of how our leadership perhaps sits in some 110 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 4: of these seats. When you have people only sitting for 111 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 4: four or five years, you know, psycophantic kind of habits 112 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 4: tend to rear their heads and people are self serving 113 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 4: very much so, and trying to get their period in 114 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 4: time to work while not necessarily thinking perhaps for the future, 115 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 4: so self created. Certainly, Quantum easing is one that certainly 116 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 4: jumps to mind, and on the back of a financial crisis, 117 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 4: so that again was you know, very much self created 118 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 4: and the selling of you know, irresponsible financial instruments clilo. 119 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 3: What happens when you're on the wrong side of a 120 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 3: true point, A couple of things happen. 121 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 5: Well, a couple of things happened. Number one is if 122 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 5: you're an individual investor, you could potentially lose all your capital. 123 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 5: The assets or the securities you hold could go bankrupt. Right, So, 124 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 5: when you think about the market crash and you don't 125 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 5: have correct risk management in the portfolio that you've put together, 126 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 5: you could lose all that capital. But if you're a 127 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 5: professional money manager, as we are now, if you're on 128 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 5: the wrong side of a choke point, you could impair 129 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 5: the commerciality of that product such that clients in it. 130 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 5: One out and nobody wants in, and that has ended 131 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 5: a lot of careers. But more importantly, it as regressed, 132 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 5: if not retarded, the retirement schedules that some people thought 133 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 5: they were on track to achieve. And it could make 134 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 5: clients or investors to have to work a little longer 135 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 5: because they lost money in a whole point. Okay, So 136 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 5: in seeking, now we know how scary this is. How 137 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 5: do you start to get away from it? How do 138 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 5: you protect your your investment portfolio from this kind of thing? 139 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 4: So I think there's two schools of thought you. I 140 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 4: think the main one for me is concentration bills wealth 141 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 4: and diversification protects it. And so you know, when you're 142 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 4: super concentrated in single securities or single themes, you can 143 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 4: create an enormous amount of wealth. I mean, investors invested 144 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 4: in Sabania made three four hundred percent, but he's just 145 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 4: saw an eight billion dollar in payment to go through 146 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 4: the business as early as yesterday. So the quality of 147 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 4: the business also rearing its head. And I think so 148 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 4: when you talk about protecting wealth, we think about diversification. 149 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 4: We think about you know, twenty to twenty four securities 150 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 4: on a global basis that all represent best in class 151 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 4: solutions and hopefully a lack of correlation. If you're you 152 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 4: know you're in Nvidia, theme seems to fall apart. Perhaps 153 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 4: you invested in Walmart, and I think staying diversified will 154 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 4: keep you away from it making any major mistakes. But 155 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 4: that being said, I think you'll only get I don't 156 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 4: say mediocre, but market returns. 157 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: Doing that. 158 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 4: To really create one of you have to be willing 159 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 4: to swing the bat of bit and so those those 160 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 4: showpoints again can become those opportunities to turn your odds 161 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 4: towards your favor. 162 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 3: I'm sort of immediately thinking, you know, Clelo, as soon 163 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 3: as you talk diversity, you think, well, surely what you 164 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 3: do as you buy the index. But but I'm reminded 165 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 3: that in the case of the Great Depression that Dow 166 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 3: only got back to the same number what was it 167 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 3: in the nineteen fifties. It took so long, so buying 168 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 3: the index wouldn't have saved you. Even during the Second 169 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 3: World War wouldn't have saved you. 170 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 5: I think during a Great depression the index last ninety 171 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 5: percent of its value. So risk management is really important. 172 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 5: It's similar as in boxing. Protect yourself at all times, 173 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 5: right that's a mantra here and South Africa. Investing on 174 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 5: the GRIC is even more dangerous because remember, we used 175 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 5: to have one thousand companies on the stock market back 176 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 5: in nineteen ninety eight nineteen eighty nine. Now we have 177 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 5: only two hundred and twenty five. We used to have 178 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 5: a diverse range of sectors. We probably have only fifteen 179 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 5: sectors now subsectors now right. We used to have a 180 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 5: very vibrant small cap sector fall intents and purposes, we 181 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 5: don't anymore. The top forty of the JC accounts for 182 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 5: the vast majority, about eighty percent of the market cap 183 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 5: or the JC. Right, So diversification is even far more important. Now, 184 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 5: how do you diversify? You diversified by type of return 185 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 5: that these two and twenty five companies give you on 186 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 5: the stock market. There are clearly some companies that are 187 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 5: so good and so strong that they that they appeal 188 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 5: to the concept of compounding over a long period of time, 189 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 5: that capitects the sharp rise the quota. Those become the 190 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 5: bedrock of your portfolio. But what tends to kill you, 191 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 5: meaning if you get it wrong, it kills you. And 192 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 5: if you get it right, you can create an almost 193 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 5: amount of wealth, albeit on the short term, is getting 194 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 5: your call and resources right because they are extremely volatile. Right, 195 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 5: and if you balance compounding with an appropriate exposure to 196 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 5: companies that respond to global systematic risks like we are 197 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 5: going through now, some companies respond really well to that, right, 198 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 5: Like gold responds really well to that. Right, then you 199 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 5: can have two track process in your portfolio where you 200 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 5: concentrate in compounding to slowly win you the race over time, 201 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 5: but you have access to gold counters or precious metal 202 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 5: counters platinum as well. Right, that helps you keep up 203 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 5: with the stock wall. But if the stock market falls, right, 204 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 5: you're not that over exported to it. But your compounding 205 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 5: is like keeps you afloat. 206 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 3: Okay, So in CICCA there there's also I suppose you 207 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 3: know how you deliver. I think it's called a competitive 208 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 3: information ratio. You you want to make sure that you 209 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 3: are looking at investments in a way that kind of 210 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 3: whatever happens, you're going to be fine. But I mean, 211 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 3: you keep coming back to the same tension, don't you, 212 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 3: which is that you need to concentrate if you're really 213 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 3: going to get rich. 214 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 4: Yes, so and so Funny, I think the information fighter 215 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 4: is one that's also evolved over time. You know, Warren 216 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 4: Buffett speaks about the days where they would fight for 217 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 4: pieces of you know, fight for magazines and articles, and 218 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 4: you'd be fighting to get all this information. And I 219 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 4: think as an investment manager these days, it's very much 220 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 4: about the opposite and learning away which information to turn away, 221 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 4: which information is not important, which information is actually going 222 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 4: to impede your returns. And you know, into you know, 223 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 4: the eighty twenty year auls and ensuring that you are 224 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 4: focused on that twenty percent that produces the eighty percent 225 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 4: of the returns. And just tell us point about you know, 226 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 4: the top forty representing eighty percent of the you know, 227 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 4: market cap of the total JAC You have to get 228 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 4: those calls right. You know, whether or not you get 229 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 4: your rats and mice correct and you create you know, 230 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 4: asymmetric returns from clients is great, but you must get 231 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 4: your calls on the major top forty correct. And so 232 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 4: you have just risk management and making sure that you're 233 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,599 Speaker 4: looking at and again considering the right things at the 234 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 4: right times and not you know, applying your mind to 235 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 4: companies and things that aren't going to affect and you know, 236 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 4: ensure that our clients retire with dignity. 237 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: Philo. 238 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 3: There are lots of people would who talk about buying 239 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 3: the dipths big thing at the moment. Yes, you have 240 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 3: businesses that look broken, but they that you can see 241 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 3: they're going to improve. Right, how do you identify the 242 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 3: ones that have the highest chance of actually turning around 243 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 3: and doing well? And it can't just be because they've 244 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 3: brought in a new CEO. 245 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 5: So that is a really difficult thing to do, and 246 00:12:55,400 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 5: it's it's best not tried by most people because those 247 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 5: are turnaround opportunities. Right. Number one is you have to 248 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 5: have very strong patent recognition of how that has happened 249 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 5: in the past. Yeah, right, But you have to start 250 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 5: with a good base. When a company used to be 251 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 5: a great company. A great example is Tiger Brands used 252 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 5: to be a great company and somewhere in two thousand 253 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 5: and six after the bread scandal, they lost their way 254 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 5: and they try to point a few CEOs. Peter Matari 255 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 5: didn't work out, Nol Dowley didn't work out, and just 256 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 5: about three years ago, twenty twenty two, they appointed a 257 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 5: guy called Trod Krueger and he came from Premier and 258 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 5: he had really done a great job at Premiere, and 259 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 5: his depth of experience really came to the four and 260 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 5: Tiger Brands has turned around. But to identify whether all 261 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 5: musual is going to work with the new guy who's there, 262 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 5: whether pick and pay will work as Tiger Brands has worked, 263 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 5: that takes pattern recognition of the highest order. It is 264 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 5: probably the hardest thing to do, the hardest thing to 265 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 5: do an investment. Don't do it, don't do it. If 266 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 5: you can do it, don't sure. 267 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 3: How do you know? Well, you'll find out if you don't. 268 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 3: Investment School this evening clail log your say is the 269 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 3: chief investment officer at First the Avenue Investment Management, and 270 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 3: Senciclo is an equity understed at sasphen Wealth. How do 271 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 3: you avoid market choke points? Is our topic tonight to 272 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 3: put it's another way, how do we keep your money safe? 273 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 3: You listen to the Money. 274 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: Show, The Money Show Investment. 275 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 3: School nine minutes to eighth the time and sequence, So 276 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 3: Carlo's equity analyst assessmen wealth clail logo, you'll say, chief 277 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,239 Speaker 3: investment officer at the First Avenue Investment Management. Investors strategies 278 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 3: for market choke points and seek if there's some companies 279 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 3: or businesses that really are all about risk appetite or 280 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 3: risk aversion. I think Gold's the classic example of risk aversion. 281 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 3: That's where we are now. There must be some that 282 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 3: you go to when you have an appetite for risk. 283 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 4: No, certainly, and I think the moment you stop dropping 284 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 4: between a lower one percent waiting and the all Z, 285 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 4: you're probably getting into that territory. And look there amazing 286 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 4: companies or small caps on the JC. Some of our 287 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 4: favorites from Telcom to PSG, and a lot of these 288 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 4: are again we love Hero and these companies that are 289 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 4: owner led, family run and truly where the ownership with 290 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 4: the ownership and the asymmetric relationship with benefit and loss 291 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 4: are really tied to the to the founders and operating founders. 292 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 4: So we saw similar things in Discame and those are 293 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 4: companies that do well. It's because everyone is fully aligned 294 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 4: on the mission statement of creating value for clients and 295 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 4: creating value for for you know, for themselves. So we 296 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 4: really look for I mean as an investment philosophy, we 297 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 4: like owner led and owner run companies with great track 298 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 4: records and with good succession planning. I mean the ruperts 299 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 4: and everything that's gone on with or something sim Yeah, 300 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 4: this game is a great example, but I mean with 301 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 4: like with every business that comes and aimpty the useful 302 00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 4: life of that and when you need real operators to 303 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 4: come and taken over. But Heinek and the business again 304 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 4: completely a family around Cartier or what you're seeing an 305 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 4: LVMH in the transition there. So these companies can be 306 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 4: great and when those transition planning is done correctly, you 307 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 4: can create amazing value for clients. And it's really in 308 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 4: knowing that you know that owner is fully tied like 309 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 4: I am, to the success of this company. 310 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 3: Hello, I need to ask a technical question, so I'm 311 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 3: going to ask you to use small words please. Liquidity 312 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 3: in terms of how often companies shares change hands, it 313 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 3: plays quite a big role in the performance of shares 314 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 3: in the sector. And then you have passive investors, which 315 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 3: is becoming a sort of big, big proportion of investors. 316 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 3: They have different impacts as well. So I suppose I'm 317 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 3: asking a question about does market structure matter when you're 318 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 3: choosing your kind of risks and appetite. 319 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 5: More than if I ever matter before. I'm a black 320 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 5: rock as fourteen trillion dollars now and black Rock is 321 00:16:54,600 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 5: a passive investor. Their liquidity is ETFs right, which are 322 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 5: passive instruments that will invest in the basket of companies. So, 323 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 5: for instance, mister Price is only in ten ets around 324 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 5: the world, First Run is in twenty ets around the world. 325 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 5: Angler Gold is in one hundred and forty four sure 326 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 5: ts around the world. This is the reason why you 327 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 5: see that you know, goal shares move around like they 328 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 5: do because they are purchased directly on the stock market, 329 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 5: but they also purchased through ets. England American and Bhpile 330 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 5: BSHP are in two hundred ETFs each, so the demand 331 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 5: for those companies is staggering. There are trillions looking for England, 332 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 5: American and the Gold accessing them through different means. They 333 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 5: are more trillion looking for those and they are looking 334 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 5: for mister Price. 335 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 3: That was Kleloguiose and in Secret and Socolo discussing how 336 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 3: you can navigate market checkpoints and build stronger and more 337 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 3: resilient portfolios. 338 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: The best of them on the show. 339 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 3: On Africa Business Focus this week, Doctor excuse me. Professor 340 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 3: Rotendo and Dingui, the founding director of Tribe Africa Advisory, 341 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 3: author of the book rumble in the jungle, reloaded, breaking 342 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 3: down the biggest business stories, shaping the content, looking at 343 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 3: the trends and some of the triumphs that are driving 344 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 3: our continent's economic pulse. And let's start with the Ethiopian Airlines. 345 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 3: They beat their revenue target very nicely. 346 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 7: They Stephen, and I'm all things to all men, Stephen, 347 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 7: just so no stress on that. 348 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 3: But don't open that. 349 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 7: But Ethopian Airlines Stephen half year is out four point 350 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 7: four billion US dollars in terms of revenue, which is 351 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 7: a two percent growth. Now we've always Knownopia Airlines Stephen 352 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 7: obviously the leading carrier on the continent, been doing very well. 353 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 7: But it just highlights again in terms of Ethopia is 354 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 7: a country and the confidence is going different sectors because 355 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 7: of structural reform. Bearing mind bishop to the new airport 356 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 7: that has been built probably ten kilometers just outside at 357 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 7: its Ababa, a significant investment by the Americans. We also 358 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 7: know that in the early last year they opened their 359 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 7: stock exchange. But in this case they've probably looked in 360 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 7: the last six months year on year half year on 361 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 7: year steven and eleven percent growth in terms of passenger movement, 362 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 7: and they've moved eleven million people in six months, so that's 363 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 7: a significant number. Cargo is also they've moved but four 364 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 7: hundred and fifty one thousand tons of cargo and their 365 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 7: total destinations are one hundred and forty five So in 366 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 7: a natural steven It's opium continues to grow. 367 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 6: And I think the key highlight. 368 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 7: Here Steven that this is on the back of visa bands, 369 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 7: tariff walls globally. Remember they obviously moved people all over 370 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 7: the world with a focus on America is a key 371 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 7: market and the challenges that they in the RCS to 372 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 7: dance arounding countries. So even on the back of these Stevens, 373 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 7: they're still they've done extremely well regards to growing and 374 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 7: performing with a twenty percent growth with a two percent 375 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 7: growth at a heart year perspective. 376 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 3: It really is quite something to watch what's happening with 377 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 3: Nigeria and solar energy. They're a very big is this 378 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 3: right solar energy importer? 379 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 7: Solar energy importer, so this Nigeria has become probably one 380 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 7: of the big importers and they actually are stripping Egypt 381 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 7: in this regards even in terms of importing solar panels 382 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 7: and solar equipment. And why this is so important for Nigeria. 383 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 7: We know that historically oil gas has been its focus, 384 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 7: but intentionally they have been transitioned in Stephen to alternative 385 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 7: power means and obviously solar is a no brainer. They've 386 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 7: got significant investments with gods to solar panels and they're 387 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 7: putting them. So the upside is that they're importing them 388 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 7: from into the country and replacing the sort of the 389 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 7: structures that were there before. Nigeria has announced one giga 390 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 7: what solar panel factory that they want to invest in. 391 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 7: And why this is important Stephen is that obviously a 392 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 7: lot of money is being spent in terms of important 393 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 7: and predomitory from China. So the key thing is industrialization 394 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 7: and manufacturing locally. Egypt, SA and Utopia also following in 395 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 7: the same suit, so Africa and itself. Stephen has become 396 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 7: the biggest market for solar panel and solar equipment destination, 397 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 7: so that's a big thing. Algeria also has become quite 398 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 7: a significant player. And also the other thing that is 399 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 7: that has facilitated this Stephen obviously transitioning from the from 400 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 7: the oil and gas lands from a power perspective, which 401 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,959 Speaker 7: that whole value chain is still significant. I mean, figures 402 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 7: have just come out. Stephen the National Oil Company that's 403 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 7: the se for Nigeria that that oversees this has reported 404 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 7: a four point two billion US dollar uh after tax profit. 405 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 7: So oil and gas still a significant player on the market. 406 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 7: But the key thing in transitioning to solar is it's 407 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 7: clean energy. It contributes industrialization if they build that factory, 408 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 7: and it takes the country in the right direction. And 409 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 7: we've seen Angola, Buttwana also diversifying from the oils and 410 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 7: the and the diamonds, et cetera, et cetera, which is 411 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 7: a great story for Africa in terms of moving in 412 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 7: the right direction. So looking at the story, Steven, the 413 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 7: upside obviously in terms of them transitioning from earl and 414 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 7: gas and going to solar. The downside is they still 415 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 7: need to manufacture locally because a big importation bill is 416 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 7: still there getting things from China. 417 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 3: No sure, And I mean, it's all moving in the 418 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 3: right way. Don't anyone tell Donald Trump you got the 419 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 3: moaning from oil for solar and Egypt is air marking. 420 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 3: It's half a trillion dollars to finance projects across Africa. 421 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 3: That's a ton of money. 422 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 6: That's a ton of money, Steven. 423 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 7: And why I like the story, Steven, because it's a 424 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 7: it's a South alf it's an African initiative. Egypt obviously 425 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 7: has got a key leadership responsibility in the African New 426 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 7: Knew ped framework and their focus is obviously to invest money. 427 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 7: They've got EU clearance, there's a whole certification while our 428 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 7: alignment process that's there. So from a global perspective, they've 429 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 7: got that perspective, they've got that go ahead, and the 430 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,479 Speaker 7: focus really Steven, is to deal with issues that affect 431 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 7: the continent in terms of unemployment, in terms of health, 432 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 7: in terms of infrastructure, and the fund is limited to 433 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 7: the Africa Business Summit as well. There's a big business summit. 434 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 7: I think they've committed with one hundred billion, but I 435 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 7: think the positive upside, yes, Stephen, is that they might 436 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 7: be up north. Africa is big, but they're doing a 437 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 7: leading initiative for five hundred billion US dollars to develop 438 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 7: three hundred projects over the continent to make the right impact. 439 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 7: So a good story coming from Africa. African's leading trying 440 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 7: to solve our African problems. 441 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 3: Really really important. As Zambia is mining regulated, they suspended 442 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 3: operation at more Pane's Falira. 443 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 7: Mineanu Felida Mine Morey. 444 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 6: As we know, steven is probably all. 445 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 7: Zambia is the second biggest producer of copper on the continent. 446 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 7: The first is the d R S Morepani is fifty 447 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 7: one percent owned by a UAE outfit called IrH and 448 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 7: the other one is olled by local by by state 449 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 7: owned enterprise. The reason, unfortunately, which is quite sad, is 450 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 7: that the regulator has done the right thing. It's been 451 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 7: the one or two accidents that have happened on the mind, 452 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 7: they've been I'm accounted for, and I guess the auditibility 453 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 7: of what has happened hasn't been clear, so the regulator 454 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,479 Speaker 7: has stepped up. Obviously, this is quite a big impact 455 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 7: because Zambia in terms of copper is more Pani is 456 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 7: a key player in that space. Steven It's copper output 457 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 7: year on ears grown by ten percent, so they are 458 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 7: producing about eight hundred and twenty metric tons of copper 459 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 7: and they are targeted to produce twenty by twenty thirty 460 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 7: one three million metric tons of copper. But this does 461 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 7: not mean anything if there's not proper infrastructure and rules 462 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,239 Speaker 7: in place. Is from a health and safety perspective, and 463 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,719 Speaker 7: that's why the regulator has stepped in in terms of 464 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 7: investigating the issue. Hopefully it's quickly resolved, identified in accountability 465 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 7: and safety is back in line so that people can 466 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 7: continue mining. But because at the end of the day, 467 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 7: jobs are impacted and that translates to lives, so hopefully 468 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 7: that will come out of the players soon, Stephen. 469 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 3: And then in Morgadishu, Somalia, and we've heard so many 470 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 3: difficult things over the years, they've now got a bowling alley. 471 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 7: We've got a bowling Allie and Magadish so Mariia Steven 472 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 7: weno It. Obviously morgadish has gone through a civil war 473 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 7: for the last thirty five years. But because of the 474 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 7: focus on safety. One of the key inertuatives that has 475 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 7: come up, and it seems to be led by locals, 476 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 7: is the famous Bowling center. 477 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 6: And it's it's a basic bowling It's. 478 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 7: Attracted a great hype and high in the city and 479 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 7: really people just come in. It's a social gathering place. 480 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 7: It just gives a breath of fresh air for a 481 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 7: continent or for a country that has one through so 482 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:05,719 Speaker 7: much from a tumultuous perspective. Over the last number of 483 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 7: decades and it's given young people and old people a 484 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 7: place to come to find entertainment. Forty young people have 485 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 7: been employed, so that's obviously deal with the unemployment problem. 486 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 7: Although the unemployment rate is twenty one percent, not as 487 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 7: better as South Africa, but still Stephen, you know this 488 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 7: is a breath of fleshia on the Magadian story that 489 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 7: we know is that a hard civil war history, and 490 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 7: obviously it's still interest. But ultimately something like this has 491 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 7: made such a social impact both locally and in the 492 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 7: dashport or realm of Magadicia, and people coming from all 493 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 7: over the world back to Somalia and studies like this 494 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 7: exciting because it gives them a hope in terms of 495 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 7: where the country and the city can go. 496 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 3: Professor Rutendo and Dingui, they're giving us a sharp insight. 497 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 3: Seven you will. 498 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: Listening to the Money Shows the best bits. 499 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 3: Your business book reviewed this week Graham Mitchell giving you 500 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 3: powerful insights drawn from his compounding advantage, How small steps 501 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 3: build big businesses. He was looking at how the real 502 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 3: key to things is to take the small stuff into 503 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 3: execute it properly, time and time and time again. 504 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 2: What we've seen Stephen is. Having worked with small and 505 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 2: medium sized businesses for the last fifteen years, it's given 506 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 2: us a great perspective of what drives exceptional results in 507 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 2: these businesses. And what we've seen is those clients that 508 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 2: are able to choose a few of the right priorities 509 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 2: each quarter, execute brilliantly well on them, then reap the 510 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 2: benefits from that, and then repeat this in the next quarter, 511 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 2: and do this consistently over a period of time. They 512 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 2: effectively create a compounding effect in their business where each 513 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 2: step forward builds on the previous step, and this then 514 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 2: works at the founder and the leadership team are able 515 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 2: to then build real momentum and get real results in 516 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 2: their business. 517 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 3: Is it about knowing what to concentrate on so three 518 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 3: things rather than fifteen things? 519 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Stephen. It's very critical that you choose the right priorities. 520 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 2: Just as in investing, you need to choose the right 521 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 2: investments to invest in if you want to benefit from 522 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 2: compounding returns, the same applies in choosing the right few 523 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 2: priorities and making sure you get that right. 524 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 3: How do you tell which is which? And I mean, 525 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 3: you know this is it's interesting. We've had a conversation 526 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 3: with a small business expert about this, which is one 527 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 3: of the reasons I'm interested in your view because for 528 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 3: a lot of people, the entrepreneur, the person who starts 529 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 3: the business, kind of does everything and that's what often 530 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 3: makes running a small business so difficult. 531 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, so choosing the priorities can be tough, but what 532 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 2: I've typically found is that the entrepreneurs can choose the 533 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 2: right priority. The hardest part is saying no to all 534 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 2: the other things they want to do. So I usually 535 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 2: find choosing the right priority is easier than saying no 536 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 2: to doing all the other things. 537 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 3: Some of the other things might feel a bit burning 538 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 3: that they need to be dealt with. You have to 539 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 3: be able to say no. 540 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 2: Well, that is the challenge, Stevens. So that tends to 541 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 2: be the tougher challenge. I mean, usually entrepreneurs have a 542 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 2: good sense of their businesses and what is the critical 543 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 2: thing to move forward. But you're having a business coach 544 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 2: help you in your business can also ensure that they're 545 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 2: bringing a level of perspective to you in helping you 546 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 2: choose the right priority, and also having a good team 547 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 2: around you will also improve the chances that you choose 548 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: the right priority. 549 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 3: You suggest that people who need businesses also need to 550 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 3: have a lot of self awareness. Why is that so important. 551 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 2: It's very important because as the business grows, so your 552 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 2: leadership needs to evolve. And so the challenge for a 553 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 2: lot of entrepreneurs is, you know, for a successful entrepreneur, 554 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 2: they often have a particular view of the world that's different. 555 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 2: That's why they started the business. That's seen an opportunity. 556 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 2: They have a different view of how something could be done. 557 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 2: They also need to have a fairly high level of 558 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 2: confidence to start the business, and so what happens is 559 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 2: when the business reaches a level of success, they get 560 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 2: increasing confidence that their view of the world is right. 561 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 2: It's been reinforced. However, as the business grows, certain aspects 562 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 2: of their leadership will need to grow as well, and 563 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 2: so it's really important to be able to reflect on 564 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 2: your leadership and how that's impacting the business today and 565 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 2: whether there's a need to shift your leadership style in 566 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 2: order to allow the business to continue to grow in 567 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 2: the future. 568 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 3: And I mean, you need to sort of understand the 569 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 3: people who are working with you as well. You need 570 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 3: to know them quite well that if you don't, that's 571 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 3: not going to work. 572 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, and so your ability to judge your impact 573 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 2: on others because different people on the team, you may 574 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 2: need to adjust how you lead and work with those 575 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 2: people and be able to identify those differences. 576 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 3: The clients you've been working with, I think theyre about 577 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty of them, which is quite a 578 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 3: long list, Graham. I mean, I presume you have examples 579 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 3: where this idea of just focusing on the execution, focusing 580 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 3: on the priorities, you will have examples of where that's 581 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 3: really work for businesses and how it's paid off over 582 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 3: the longer run. 583 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, Stephen. We've got many clients that have started 584 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 2: out with us maybe doing thirty or forty million a 585 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 2: year in revenue, and today are doing, you know, several 586 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 2: hundred million a year in revenue. And that's how we've 587 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 2: been able to see what are the things that allowed 588 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 2: them to lock that in their business. 589 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 3: I think some people when they pick up a book 590 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 3: about small business, and I'm sorry to say this, gram 591 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 3: and I'm sure you know this, there are many of 592 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 3: them that they will be looking for a silver bullet, 593 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 3: a sort of magic thing. If I just do this, 594 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 3: or if I just do this differently, you know, it's 595 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 3: like losing weight Suddenly it'll all work and it'll be 596 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 3: fine and I'll be guilt free. It's kind of not 597 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 3: like that. So when people read your book, what do 598 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 3: you think they're going to get? They aren't going to 599 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 3: get from other books in this space, And I must 600 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 3: say for a lot of people, it is really about 601 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 3: simplifying life, which is to an extent what I think 602 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 3: you're trying to say. 603 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 2: Yes, that's correct. They're not going to get a quick 604 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 2: win silver bullet. But what they are going to get 605 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 2: is a clear road map that if they follow it 606 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 2: and stay consistent to follow it, they can get exceptional 607 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 2: results in their business. 608 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 3: And how long does it take to go from small 609 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 3: to let's say medium size. There is no quick fix. 610 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 3: You need to know that it's going to be ten years. 611 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 3: It's a long haul to make this work. 612 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 2: It is a long haul, and so ten years could 613 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 2: well be the number. It obviously differs from business to 614 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 2: business because there will be certain factors that might aid 615 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 2: you and speed up the process. You know, if you're 616 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 2: in a market that's growing quickly, but yes, the journey 617 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 2: is probably longer than you would like it to be. 618 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 2: But if you follow the process and stick to the principles, 619 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 2: you can have a very successful outcome. 620 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 3: Graham Mitchell there sharing the thinking behind compounding advantage, How 621 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 3: small steps Build Big businesses. 622 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: Seven notes the best of the Money Show from this week. 623 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,959 Speaker 3: How I Make My Money. This week we looked at 624 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 3: more So the business of saving South Africa's shopping malls 625 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 3: and particularly a four ways more in Joe Berg Poor 626 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 3: Girard is the managing director of Flannagan and Gerard Property Group. 627 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 3: He explained how you do it? How do you take 628 00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 3: a shopping mall that's failing and turn it around? Parking 629 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 3: obviously a big issue. 630 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 8: Well, I think that some shopping center developers choose to 631 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 8: develop shopping centers based on the income stream they think 632 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 8: they're going to achieve and don't really focus on the 633 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 8: ultimate end user, the customer, because it's all about customer experience. 634 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 8: There's so much variety and so many shopping centers out there. 635 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 8: Unless you're focusing on the end user, the consumer and 636 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 8: making it the easiest possible journey for the consumer, you're 637 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 8: missing out. And like the first point of call if 638 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 8: you're developing a convenience center, would be left in, left 639 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,320 Speaker 8: out on the way home from their work, yes, because 640 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 8: nobody wants to cross the media and on the way home. 641 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 8: But there's I mean, obviously there's so many extra things 642 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 8: that you can do to make the shopping center better. 643 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 8: You want to be able to push a trolley from 644 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 8: the supermarket to your car. So Africans are lazy. They 645 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 8: don't want to change. They don't have to walk upstairs 646 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 8: or walk you user escalator or a lift. In some 647 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 8: shopping centers where there's structured parking, making sure lighting is 648 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 8: adequate because people feel insecure when the lighting is low, 649 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 8: So you've got to get the lighting levels to make 650 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 8: them feel safe. Even if your security is excellent, if 651 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 8: the lighting levels are low, they'll feel unsafe. So that's 652 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 8: an important aspect. 653 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 3: I made a joke earlier when I told everyone we 654 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 3: were talking to you, and I said, you know, there 655 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 3: are three things you need to do to get a 656 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 3: shopping mall right, which is parking, parking and parking. Yes, 657 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 3: I mean places I go to that I know are 658 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 3: slightly more expensive. I'm sorry to say this, but because 659 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 3: the parking works. 660 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 8: Parking is important. You know, we took on four ways 661 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 8: more it was going through a bit of distress, a 662 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 8: few years ago. It was actually two years ago to 663 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 8: the day pretty much. And one of the things that 664 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 8: they didn't do is the access as you entered there 665 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 8: was there was conflict, There were cars parked in the way, 666 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 8: and you always had to yet to make a turn. 667 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 8: And so what we did is we just made it 668 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 8: more simple. So you flow in and you and you 669 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 8: and find your parking. Directional signage within parking areas is 670 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 8: important and so yeah, so the ease of getting in 671 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 8: is more important than actually ease of getting out. People 672 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 8: are less stressed getting out than they are getting in. 673 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 3: I mean, I have an example from four Ways, you know, 674 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 3: and I'll throw around the brand just because we're here, 675 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 3: But you know, I remember taking a kid's party to Bounce, 676 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,280 Speaker 3: and I'm going to mention Bounce letter as a specific 677 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 3: question about shopping centers, and my wife and I had 678 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 3: to take it literally in turns to get the kids 679 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 3: across from where we had parked into the mall because 680 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 3: the parking was so bad. You had to basically walk 681 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 3: across what looked like a runway. You know, it was 682 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 3: really quite scary. 683 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 8: Well that is still the case. You know, that's a 684 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 8: structural problem that we can't fix. There are multiple levels 685 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 8: and we can get people in. We did subsequently create 686 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 8: an Uber drop off and go near closer to Bounce. 687 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 8: We closed the nightclub there because you know, you don't 688 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 8: really want people drinking and people bringing their kids to 689 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 8: the set place. It's not there's a conflict there. So 690 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 8: you you want to bring like a complementary type of 691 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 8: retail to the same place, and we prefer shopping centers 692 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:13,359 Speaker 8: that are family oriented rather than drinking oriented. Now there 693 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 8: are other places for Tiger's Milk and Laparada, but that's 694 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:21,399 Speaker 8: for other people. We like Spur and Bounce and Stirkinicorn 695 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 8: and the like. 696 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 3: I mentioned Bounce because I wanted to ask and I 697 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 3: get all my anchor tenants and all of that stuff 698 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 3: in a minute. But does have having something that's quite 699 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,839 Speaker 3: rare or almost unique help as an attraction. And there 700 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 3: are other Bounces and there is a competitor too, yes, 701 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 3: at other shopping centers, but you would have to look 702 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 3: quite far from them. Well, I think for us, we 703 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,280 Speaker 3: always want the best. So fortunately four West Mall's Bounce 704 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 3: is their flagship and it's got a very good range. 705 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 8: Of activities for the kids. There's a clip and climb 706 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 8: at the back, which is in addition to the trampoline park. 707 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 8: And ultimately, what we're trying to do it four Ways 708 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:09,839 Speaker 8: More specifically is create specific destinations. So we've included we've 709 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 8: brought in a climbing gym called Block eleven that's uniqueness 710 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 8: to Joe Burger, is one in Cape Town. Now we've 711 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 8: also got Total Ninja and Shooters, which is the first 712 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 8: in the country. Shooters is an international adult arcade, so 713 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 8: you can do clay pigeon shooting and darts and pool 714 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 8: and put and a whole bunch of different activities. No drinking, No, no, 715 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 8: the drinking is part of it, but you know that's what. 716 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 8: And then obviously we've got a pedal and we've we've 717 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 8: created this thing called the Urban Playground, which is a 718 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 8: skate park. So we've tried to bring in many people 719 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 8: for reasons other than shopping, because Four Ways More was 720 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 8: volumeless and had had a lot of vacancies and we 721 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 8: needed to create energy and then we'd populate the retail 722 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 8: around the energy. 723 00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 3: So when I was young, which was in a different millennium, 724 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 3: you would go and I would spend a lot of 725 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 3: time as a teenager on a Friday or Saturday night 726 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 3: going to the movies because that's what you did, yes, 727 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,279 Speaker 3: and all of the stuff that happened around it. You 728 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 3: go and get an ice cream because no one had 729 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 3: money for a stake or any of those things. Yes, 730 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 3: I don't know that young people go to them go 731 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 3: to them more to watch a movie anymore. So what 732 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 3: do you Is there something that replaces movies to movies 733 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 3: still have a pool that I'm not aware of. 734 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I have a teenage daughter and she 735 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 8: goes to the movies, or at least that's what she 736 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 8: tells me when she goes to meet her friends or 737 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 8: some boys sometimes. So it's a combination of that. You know, 738 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 8: a lot of the time the teenagers are going to 739 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 8: just walk around in window shop. They often don't have 740 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,240 Speaker 8: a huge amount of cash flow, so they they'll buy 741 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 8: something smaller debonairs maybe and go get an ice cream 742 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 8: and maybe go to a movie. But movies have definitely 743 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 8: dropped off. Content at the movies also plays a big 744 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 8: role at as to whether people are going to go 745 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 8: or not. And I'm we're constantly in communication with the 746 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 8: cinema houses to find out what's big and you can 747 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:12,720 Speaker 8: see the attendances are very much correlated to the quality 748 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 8: of the movie, and there's fewer bums and seats for 749 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 8: sure because people have got access to entertainment at home. 750 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 8: But there are other reasons for people going to the mall, 751 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 8: and it's mostly about socialization. You know, kids have got 752 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 8: all their entertainment at home, so they actually want to 753 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,880 Speaker 8: meet up and do things. So whether it's adventure golf 754 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 8: or tenpin bowling or climbing. My son who's now twenty two, 755 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 8: he's almost every day at Fourways more at the climbing gym, 756 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,800 Speaker 8: So yeah, we're trying to create a place for people 757 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 8: to meet and spend time, and then obviously four Ways 758 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 8: more specifically, we're creating a very unique space on the 759 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 8: corner of Cedar and vit Corpen, which we'll be opening 760 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,359 Speaker 8: later this year, which is going to include a whole 761 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 8: bunch of high end quality restaurants and delis, some of 762 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 8: which you've probably shopped at. I don't want to give 763 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 8: too much away the thank you so. 764 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 3: When you do that, right, Yeah, that's only going to 765 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,720 Speaker 3: work if you can get traffic in and out quickly, 766 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 3: which means that you have to get the traffic lights 767 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 3: to work. The roads have to be able to take it, 768 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 3: because I mean, I'm presuming you know this, but four 769 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 3: ways traffic pretty much at any time can be a disaster. 770 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,319 Speaker 3: And I'm being very polite when I use that word. Yeah, 771 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,839 Speaker 3: so hot on, how do you move the traffic in now? 772 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,280 Speaker 3: And let's be clear as well, shopping centers, middle class 773 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 3: people who have them are going to use their cards. 774 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 8: So four ways is a very interesting point. When we 775 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 8: took it over, we said to the powers that be, 776 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 8: which were the owners and the banks that are all 777 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 8: representing four ways, that we don't believe that you're going 778 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 8: to fix four ways more by just looking at four 779 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 8: ways more. We actually had to look at the whole precinct. 780 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 8: So we put together a four ways improvement district. We 781 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 8: went to Growth Point and Sogo Sun from Monte Casino, 782 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 8: Burstone Fortress, all the big land owners all the way 783 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 8: down to stan City including Stan City, Dane Fern four 784 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:12,359 Speaker 8: ways gardens and we've got a voluntary improvement district and. 785 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,359 Speaker 3: One of the first like what Santon has. 786 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 8: Exactly what Santon has. And then we went to car 787 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 8: trans and we got them to do the adopt a 788 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 8: robot campaign, so we introduced that and what it means 789 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 8: is that every property owner has the traffic light and 790 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 8: backup power so if there's an issue, it will continue 791 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 8: to operate. We've also planted trees, we're getting street lights working, 792 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 8: and we've been working with the taxis and hawkers to 793 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,279 Speaker 8: clean up the streets. It's not a perfect science, it's 794 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 8: a work in progress, but it's definitely better than it 795 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 8: was when we started. But yes, that's important. You know, 796 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 8: everything around four Ways is as important as the mall itself. 797 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,919 Speaker 3: When you approach them all. So four ways or another 798 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,319 Speaker 3: one you've taken over morning Side, now holy, you have 799 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 3: to have and everyone knows that. The anchor tenants so 800 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,839 Speaker 3: in sort of you know, middle class South African terms 801 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 3: all words, but also also a checkers or a pick 802 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 3: and pay or whatever. And for something that's quite big, 803 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,400 Speaker 3: you wouldn't have just one, you'd have a couple, yea. 804 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 3: How do you get that mixture right? 805 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 8: So the anchor tenants are really there to draw energy, 806 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 8: draw foot traffic in there. And then obviously you'll you 807 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,759 Speaker 8: make up a lot of the rent that you need 808 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 8: to make the development work with the line shops that 809 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,120 Speaker 8: feed off the anchor retailers. So you want to bookend 810 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 8: What do I mean by that? Do you you want 811 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,919 Speaker 8: to place them on opposite ends of the shopping center 812 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 8: so that you can have a flow of energy and 813 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 8: even flow of energy between. Like Morning Side has got 814 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 8: a Pick and Pay downstairs and a Willie's upstairs, and 815 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 8: we've got to Clicks as well downstairs. And I guess 816 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 8: Tasha's forms a bit of an anchor in the Morning 817 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,439 Speaker 8: Side in Morning Side, and really you want the flow 818 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,320 Speaker 8: in between because you want the guys in between to 819 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,479 Speaker 8: be able to pick up the trade from these big 820 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 8: anchor retailers four ways. On the other hand, is about 821 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:06,279 Speaker 8: eight anchor retailers from Walmart, Checkers, Hyper, Pick and Pay, Woolworths, 822 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:07,879 Speaker 8: Igger's and so on. 823 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,879 Speaker 3: You are so certain brands are complementary, So I think 824 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,640 Speaker 3: Checkers or Pick and Pay under Woolworths. Yes, that Checkers 825 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 3: and Pick and Pay are not they are competitors, correct, 826 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 3: So I presume the bigger the shopping center. I mean, 827 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 3: I remember, I can't I don't know, I couldn't give 828 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 3: you the name now, but I remember spending a week 829 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,399 Speaker 3: in Richard's Bay and being amazed at the shopping center 830 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 3: there seem to have all of the supermarkets in one place. Yes, 831 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 3: how do you manage that relationship? Because at a certain 832 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 3: size it would actually work to have competitors, but below 833 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 3: that certain size is not going to work. They're going 834 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 3: to fight it out in the street. 835 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 8: Yeah, you're right. You know. The thing is is that 836 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 8: you want the energy in your center, and if there's 837 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,359 Speaker 8: going to be an opportunity for that anchor to go 838 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 8: across the road, you're just going to be splitting the energy. 839 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 8: So you if your shopping center has the capacity to 840 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 8: be big enough and you've got the ability to have 841 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 8: checkers on one end and a pick and pan the 842 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 8: other end, and maybe the Willie's in the middle. You know, 843 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,880 Speaker 8: people are brand oil. You know, some people are tix stoppers. 844 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:10,240 Speaker 8: You know, Clicks Loyalty club card is extremely popular, especially 845 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,360 Speaker 8: and more in the rural areas, disk them more in 846 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,240 Speaker 8: the metros. But everybody's got their brand, and some people 847 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 8: are clicks and disc and checkers, and some people are 848 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 8: pick and pan and discm shoppers, and some are a 849 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 8: combination of all of the above. So we want to 850 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,839 Speaker 8: give our customer every possible opportunity to want to shop 851 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:30,720 Speaker 8: in our shopping center. There are obviously types of retail 852 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 8: where it's complementary, where a person wants to shop at 853 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 8: a truerse and a Fashini because they want to be 854 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 8: able to compare that top or those those shoes, or 855 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:40,959 Speaker 8: you know, maybe mister Price has got a slightly better 856 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,400 Speaker 8: deal on a new pair of denims. So you know, 857 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 8: you want to have all of them together. 858 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,919 Speaker 3: When you have all of these shops together, they want 859 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 3: certain things from you, and they don't just want the 860 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 3: lights and water to work. They also want data about 861 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 3: the customers coming in. Yes, so do you count the 862 00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:58,480 Speaker 3: people coming in? 863 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,720 Speaker 8: We do so, and that's changed. It's evolved over the years. 864 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 8: You know, in the past it was really just a 865 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,480 Speaker 8: foot counter that would pick up a person walking past 866 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 8: an entrance, but now we use cameras over the entrance, 867 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,359 Speaker 8: which can give you a slightly better idea of who 868 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 8: it is that's walking in and out. Very important for 869 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,400 Speaker 8: retailers to understand the entrances that people come in and 870 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 8: out of, as well as the quantum of people that 871 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 8: enter the shopping center. You're if you've got paid for 872 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,760 Speaker 8: parking that you'll get stats on the number of people 873 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 8: entering and exiting by car and then I guess by taxi. 874 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 8: You know you four Ways has got a massive taxi rank, Yeah, 875 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 8: and a big taxi holding facility underneath it. And we 876 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 8: probably get about twenty five to thirty percent of our 877 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 8: customers coming by taxi. 878 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 3: So can you tell how many people come in and 879 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 3: how many of them spend money and how many of 880 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 3: them don't? 881 00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 8: Y kind of we we get turnover reports. At least 882 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,239 Speaker 8: each retailer will give us the amount of turnover that 883 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,120 Speaker 8: they generated in a monthly basis, and we use that 884 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,719 Speaker 8: to identify either whether a retailer is struggling or whether 885 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,360 Speaker 8: an area of the mall is underperforming. Obviously, if everybody 886 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:21,279 Speaker 8: in one area is has the turnovers challenging, we need 887 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 8: to find an energy, some kind of energy to bring 888 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 8: to that area in order to assist all the retailers, 889 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,880 Speaker 8: because that's a low energy point of them all. If 890 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 8: it's just one retailer within the whole area that's not performing, 891 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 8: then we need to go and have a chat to 892 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,919 Speaker 8: the retailer to see whether we can help them. Some 893 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,399 Speaker 8: retailers are beyond help, and sometimes you need to find 894 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,719 Speaker 8: a replacement, And that's kind of the science of it. 895 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 8: It's not terribly scientific, but that's it. 896 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 3: That's what we do, and so you will probably be 897 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:53,920 Speaker 3: able to tell sort of roughly what the average spend 898 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,800 Speaker 3: per month in them all is. Yes, so person, Yeah. 899 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 8: We do so. It's obviously total turnover divided by number 900 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 8: of people. So all malls are different, you know, the 901 00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 8: spend per head varies. You know, some shopping center. We've 902 00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,879 Speaker 8: got a shopping center in Port Elizabeth called Boardwalk Mall. 903 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:13,880 Speaker 6: It has a huge. 904 00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 8: Number of foot traffic for the total turnover, and that's 905 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 8: because a lot of people use it to park and 906 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 8: then walk to the beach. So they walk through the 907 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,839 Speaker 8: shopping center, pick up an ice cream along the way, 908 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 8: but they're not spending as if they're going to supermarkets 909 00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 8: and pharmacies. But then and Morning Side has also got 910 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,759 Speaker 8: a high foot traffic relative to the total turnover. But 911 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 8: you know, ultimately, what we're trying to do with every 912 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:46,319 Speaker 8: shopping center is identify their basic needs, which is food, pharmaceuticals, 913 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 8: liquor those are your general convenience needs. Then there's a 914 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 8: bit of banking, and depends on where you are in 915 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 8: the country, the moral air rural areas prefer actual banks 916 00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:01,280 Speaker 8: and ATMs, but places like more in the neighborhood Square. 917 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 8: They don't need banking because most people haven't seen the 918 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,319 Speaker 8: inside of a bank for years. You know, we all 919 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 8: banking online or have a private bank that phones us 920 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:09,600 Speaker 8: up and asks us what we need to do. 921 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,720 Speaker 3: Paul Gerrard there the managing director of Flanagan and Gerard 922 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,760 Speaker 3: Property Group, taking us inside their work developing and revitalizing 923 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,560 Speaker 3: some of our biggest shopping centers. 924 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,880 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Money Shows the best bits. 925 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 3: You've been listening to the best bits of the Money 926 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,920 Speaker 3: Show just a digest of some of the best comments 927 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,840 Speaker 3: and thoughts and insights from the week.
