  • Concise. Informative. Valuable and focused.

    I like that it addresses topics head on and keeps it concise with what needs to be spoken about but no fluff. Bringing in an educational point as to why certain things are happening would be great

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Everything Counts: Sports Edition | How Mpumelelo Mhlongo invested his first pay cheque
Q: What is a key money lesson you want to pass on to the next generation?
His core lesson is to treat money like energy: invest with intention, seek the right skills, and start early. He stresses the importance of an emergency fund, planning for the future, and using wealth to enable education and community impact, not just personal consumption.
Everything Counts: Sports Edition | How Mpumelelo Mhlongo invested his first pay cheque
Q: Thank you for joining us. Growing up, you weren't always clued up about money. Who were those people that introduced you to the concept of money and how to treat it?
Mpumelelo describes his mother's emphasis on careful navigation of resources, the influence of teachers and mentors who encouraged academic opportunity, and the support from coaches who taught him to think about money in terms of long-term outcomes rather than short-term gratification. He emphasizes the role of practical guidance and confidence-building through early scholarships, which helped him see money as a tool to create sustainable options for himself and his family.
NOW Ep122: A new cycle for private equity
Q: Looking forward, what could derail momentum over the next 12-24 months, and where do you see the most attractive opportunities?
Tailwinds like political stability and lower interest rates can be eroded by elections, inflation targets, and potential rate hikes. The most attractive opportunities lie in clever financial structuring, hybrid equity instruments, and leveraging emerging fund managers to compete for assets, supported by improving macro conditions.
NOW Ep122: A new cycle for private equity
Q: You've mentioned AI as a key topic. How are private equity firms actually applying AI inside the portfolio companies, and is SA keeping pace with international trends?
Internationally, AI is central to due diligence, information synthesis, and deal execution, reducing cycle times and enabling better decision-making. In SA, adoption is growing but starts from a slower pace; the emphasis is on embracing AI to improve deal flow and create future opportunities, with the expectation that the trend will accelerate.
NOW Ep122: A new cycle for private equity
Q: So how is the current macro environment shaping where private equity funds decide to deploy capital, especially with uncertainty and safe-haven dynamics?
In times of uncertainty, investors want to look through the cycle and back businesses with strong leadership, cash generation, and the ability to withstand macro headwinds. There's a renewed focus on fundamentals, leadership, and selecting growth stories in regions that show tangible growth, including emerging markets.
