In our first Conversations with Coronation session for 2026, CIO Karl Leinberger looked back on a five-year period defined by market paradoxes and reaffirmed Coronation’s long-term, valuation-led approach — including a clear case for why South Africans should invest offshore, why time in markets matters, and where active stock-picking can add value. Sarah-Jane Alexander then unpacked our risk framework and current portfolio positioning, discussing the outlook for South Africa alongside the case for offshore diversification and the key risks to watch into 2026. Pieter Koekemoer closed by reinforcing Coronation’s commitment to adviser partnership and continued investment where it matters as well as in line with evolving client needs.
