In this podcast Rademeyer Vermaak, Head of Systematic Solutions, discusses how their precise approach towards managing risk enables the team to rate the effect of potential macroeconomic shocks on each counter in each portfolio and neutralise those risks.

Rademeyer discusses:
• The impact of the Chinese government stimulus announcement on global resource stocks
• The team’s holistic, measurable process and the key factors taken into consideration both locally and globally
• The stand-out stocks for the quarter and how the team have adjusted the weighting for those
• The STANLIB Equity Fund’s offshore strategy with J.P. Morgan Asset Management and the STANLIB Global Select Fund
