South African and European Investors Increase Global Capital Allocation
What happened
Investors in South Africa and Europe are increasingly seeking global investment opportunities. South Africans are moving capital offshore partly to protect wealth from local uncertainty and rand volatility, and to access global growth opportunities. Offshore investing has become more accessible to middle-income families, previously limited by high barriers to entry.

Why it matters
