Rational Perspective

The rand is officially slumping and it looks like the fall could continue as emerging markets currencies remain under fire. What is a South African to do in such an environment? Well, the biggest trick is investing offshore, hedging against the rand with dollar, euro, or pound investments. Alec Hogg and Felicity Duncan discuss how the falling rand has boosted the Biznews Global Portfolio and how offshore diversification can help South African investors stay on top even when the rand hits bottom. They also catch up on the Reinert share buyback and talk about Alec Hogg's upcoming interview with Lost Boys of Bird Island co-author Chris Steyn. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
