Financial club aims to empower women
The Legend Ladies Investment Club had its very first get-together on May 19.
The event was presented in association with PBS Chartered Accountants and PSG Wealth, and Lisa Erasmus (the first member of the club and its managing director) explained the how and why.
“The main purpose of the Legend Ladies Investment Club is to empower woman through financial coaching to make a difference in one another’s lives.”
The theme for Wednesday’s event was “2021: The year of transition”.
Erasmus said Anet Ahern, CEO of PSG Asset Management, intrigued the ladies with such topics as thinking differently about risk, the conservative Warren Buffet approach to investing and the “fast money” Wolf of Wall Street hype.

“She discussed the amazing opportunities emerging from a post-Covid world where Amazon (the world’s biggest online retailer) is opening bookstores and retail outlets. A boring logistics company like Imperial is reinventing itself into a lean business, delivering all the items we buy online.
“Adv Ronald King, head of public policy and regulatory affairs of PSG, spoke about how women were affected by the lockdown; how they should own their financial future and get more involved in planning and managing their investments.”
This club is open to all women, and should you wish to form a part of it, you may contact Erasmus at PBS Chartered Accountants on 013-752-6280.
The evening was embellished with a little something extra by Tanya Cruse of Gin & Co, who had prepared a gin tasting for the guests.
