Why Global Diversification is Essential
Join us for an evening at Benju Wine Distributors to discuss successful strategies for protecting your financial future.
This gathering is a private, educational exchange focused on moving towards securing your wealth by diversifying beyond the constraints of our local economy.
Our economy is shallow and vulnerable to external shocks. As local investors, we must be proactive in managing the risks associated with this concentration.
Presenter: Dale Ter Haar
My journey as a DIY investor began in Botswana after a lack of understanding and misplaced trust in a commission-focused company led me into a poor investment strategy with high hidden fees. That experience was a wake-up call to take control.
Now, while studying for the Series 65 Investment Advisor qualification, I want to share the practical methods I am now getting right to de-risk from local economic shocks.
Presented by: BENJU
Benju is the leading liquor and liquid distributor to Botswana’s wholesale, retail, and HORECA sectors. Founded in 2004, we feature an extensive portfolio that includes major spirit brands from Pernod Ricard and The Really Great Brands Company, as well as over thirty-five wine farms.
Key Discussion Points
While enjoying a selection of wines and hors d’oeuvres, we will dive into:
Countering Inflation & Currency Risk: The Pula faces ongoing pressure. Learn how holding assets in hard currencies provides a shield for your purchasing power.
The High Cost of Local Pensions: Local funds often carry high management fees that leave money on the table. We will discuss how low-cost offshore platforms can counter-balance these costs to improve your long-term returns.
Hard Currency Security: Hear about how to use the Interactive Brokers (IBKR) platform—which uniquely accepts Batswana—to access thousands of global stocks and ETFs.
True Diversification: Moving from a diamond-dependent risk profile to a robust global portfolio.
