Investment Summit 2026

On 10 September 2026, we will host our annual GIB Investment Summit at Summer Place, Illovo. This year's theme, "The Politics of Markets: How politics and markets are reshaping investment decisions", explores the growing influence of politics, policy and global events on investment outcomes, market sentiment, and long-term wealth creation. In an increasingly interconnected and unpredictable world, investors are navigating a landscape where geopolitical tensions, regulatory changes and political developments are shaping opportunity and risk like never before.

With our local elections drawing nearer and the United States approaching its midterm elections, investors may face an increasingly uncertain political backdrop, making it more important than ever to understand the forces driving markets and investment decisions.

Acclaimed journalist, author and broadcaster Mandy Wiener is this year's MC, and the keynote speaker, Pieter du Toit, assistant editor of News24 and renowned author, together with panel discussions will unpack the complex relationship between politics and markets while providing practical insights into the forces influencing investment decisions today.
