BNC#9 | Viljoen Q&A: The investment advice most fund managers won't give you

Author: BizNews September 9, 2026 Duration: 32:40
Piet Viljoen doesn't read the news, doesn't watch the Fed, and thinks most of what the investment industry sells you is jargon designed to make simple things sound complicated. In his Q&A at BNC#9, he went after executive pay, looked at private equity's real return profile, explained why he avoids AI stocks entirely, and unpacked the regulations that let his fund own crash-prone stocks but cap it at 10% gold. Then the floor opened up to questions: offshore allowances, Bitcoin, HCI, and whether the asset management industry is about to consolidate.
