Some of Nick Holland’s biggest decisions took years to prove their worth. The former Gold Fields CEO joins Investec’s Nkateko Mathonsi to discuss the unbundling that created Sibanye Gold, and his backing of the Chilean mine Salares Norte long before production began. He explains why safety meant stopping production, and why higher output does not always mean better returns. Watch episode 5 of Investec Minds for a conversation about the judgement mining demands and the conviction to invest beyond your own tenure. Investec Focus Radio SA
Democratic Party control of the US House of Representatives and Senate has had three broad market implications: data centre buildouts are unpopular with voters; Congress will likely limit military escalation in the Middle East (which could bring down energy prices); and slower artificial intelligence-linked investment could be good for US Treasuries.

AI agents have entered the workplace, robots are edging closer to our homes and billions continue to flow into the infrastructure powering artificial intelligence. But as technology advances, are the returns keeping pace with expectations? In this episode of No Ordinary Wednesday, Investec Global Equity analysts David Smith and Zane Bezuidenhout join Jeremy Maggs to examine the year's defining technology trends, the debate over an AI bubble and the companies best placed to benefit. From the future of work to the economics of AI, they unpack what 2026 has taught investors and what to watch in 2027 and beyond. Investec Focus Radio SA
Global equities continue to advance, while US corporate earnings continue to beat expectations. Taking into account these ongoing beats, notes Global Chief Investment Officer Chris Holdsworth, the overall US market now trades at just under 20 times earnings, which is not excessive by historical standards.

The US economy continues to grow, thanks to ongoing investment into AI, and despite federal government indebtedness and higher inflation because of rising fuel prices. One area where the strain is showing though, says Global Chief Investment Officer Chris Holdsworth, is in the housing market, where mortgage rates are climbing and applications are falling. Should weaker house prices follow, this will be a headwind for consumer spending. Investec Focus Radio SA
AI investment is supporting growth, but its wider benefits remain uneven. Where will global capital go next, and what will businesses pay to access it? In this special edition of No Ordinary Wednesday, Cumesh Moodliar, CEO of Investec South Africa, and Andrew Lillywhite, head of bank funding group at Investec UK, share first-hand insights from their time at the 2026 IMF and World Bank meetings in Bangkok. Drawing on conversations at the meetings, they examine the forces shaping global investment. They also identify signals that could support investment, from more stable long-term interest rates to the potential impact of a stronger South African credit rating. Investec Focus Radio SA
