Inaugural Nelson Mandela Bay Investor Seminar 2013

, 25th April 2013 - Edge Financial Group announces the first ever Nelson Mandela Bay Investor Seminar themed “An unbiased insight into onshore and offshore investment in South Africa.” 

Experts in financial planning, real estate, economics and tax advisory will be featured such as director at Investec Asset Management, Jeremy Gardiner as well as speakers from as far as Guernsey.

The NMB Investor Seminar, which is scheduled to take place on the 15th of May at the Boardwalk International Convention Centre, is said to become an annual event that the city can look forward to.

This year’s seminar is presented by Edge Financial Group and will be a one day event where over 160 guests will receive unbiased insight into onshore and offshore investment in South Africa from local and international speakers. 

The seminar will also have an informal “couch session” where delegates can asks the speakers questions and chat to them about their area of interest. Guest will be treated to a breakfast, luncheon and afternoon snacks during the course of the day.

The seminar has received a tremendous amount of support in its inaugural year with prestigious partners on board, most of which are new to the PE market and who are using this seminar to create inroads into PE. Partners of the NMB Investor Seminar include Investec, Sovereign Group, Old Mutual International, Rezco Asset Management and Catalyst Fund Managers, who will all have consultation areas at the seminar for one-on-one chats with the guests.

Edge Financial Group aims to grow the seminar into a two day event by next year which will focus on investments in South Africa, Africa and Global. 

“What is really exciting is that this is just the first event and I have already had several other investment companies expressing interest in attending,” said Edge Financial Group Managing Director, Edward Gutsche. 

“Prudential and their CEO John Kinsley, who is a leading SA economist and fund manager, have already pledged significant financial support for next year. We have also had several top CEO’s of private international brands pledging their financial support and promising to talk at next year’s event.”

With Nelson Mandela Bay being long known as the investment hotspot of South Africa, an annual investor seminar has been the city’s missing link. The NMB Investor Seminar presented by Edge Financial Group will fill this gap and will bring together financial minds from all over the country to the Friendly City.
