Between Donald Trump’s trade tariffs, geopolitical standoffs, a rise in protectionism and sticky US inflation, it’s been a noisy year for markets. So, how do you position your portfolio in the face of global unpredictability?

We’ve got you covered. On August 7, Currency’s Rob Rose, along with ETFSA’s Nerina Visser and Gareth Stobie, will unpack the key investment themes shaping global markets – and how to make sense of the chaos.

They’ll also explore how exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to hard currencies such as the dollar, euro, pound, yen and Swiss franc can offer stability and diversification when traditional strategies fall short.

From US tech to European defence stocks to international real estate, these ETFs give South African investors efficient access to global sectors, reduce reliance on the rand, and help build resilient portfolios.

More than just a talk shop, the discussion will offer actionable insights into how hard currency ETFs can sharpen your investment strategy.
