November marks the 134th anniversary of the Johannesburg Securities Exchange. It all harks back to the discovery of gold in the Wits basin in 1886, which resulted in the formation of the great mining finance houses with investors who needed a central facility to access primary capital. Initially trading took place in a miner' tent and moved to the stables at the corner of what in now Saur and Commissioner Streets. To reflect on the history of the capital markets in SA and the road ahead it'sa great pleasure to welcome Dr Leila Fourie, Group CEO, Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE); Sasfin Securities' Deputy Chairman, David Shapiro and Liston Meintjes, who is now independent but has had a storied career in investment management

More than a few market analysts have declared that 2021 is the year of the SPAC. Otherwise known as a special purpose acquisition company or a blank check company, a SPAC is a publicly traded entity that exists solely to raise money and acquire an existing private company. SPACs have been a hot way for young companies to quickly go public and scoop up cash for growth. About half of all new IPOs by volume since January 2019 were SPACs, according to a February 2021 JP Morgan report. But Shares in businesses that went public through deals with “blank-cheque” companies have dropped by an average of two-fifths from their highs, as appetite for the once red-hot sector of the US stock market cools rapidly. The figures come from a Financial Times analysis of data from Refinitiv tracking Spacs that acquired businesses worth more than $1bn, and come against the backdrop of a wider US stock market rally that set a new high in the past week. So what the SPAC is all the fuss about? Michael Avery spoke to Ian Kirkman, Partner at Bowmans, who advised on the first SPAC to have listed on the JSE, Capital Appreciation, and independent market analyst Liston Meintjes.

Business Day TV — Independent Analyst, Liston Meintjes chose AB InBev as his stock pick of the day. "I'm staying with AB InBev, and one of the reasons is that they haven't been performing well for quite some time, but you know I do believe people drink beer and I do think that they have a fantastic global reach. We do know that they got into an over geared situation which is not good but they do have that wonderful thing called fast moving cash goods and as long as they're selling beer money, will roll in. The problems will go away over time and by the way it is totally free of any currency question, any South African political overtones and whatever may happen in the next two weeks it's not going to affect them."
