This month, we welcomed Mico Hefer to our team. With a background in wealth management, solid knowledge of investing and a passion for adding value to clients – Mico is well positioned for his role as Business Development Manager. He holds a B.Comm. Investment Management degree, with honours in Financial Economics, as well as a postgraduate diploma in Financial Planning.
To help you get better acquainted with Mico, we asked him five questions.
The combination of being surrounded by some of the brightest minds from our industry, while being able to add value to our clients’ lives is something that excites me a lot. Being an extrovert, I knew that I was not going to pursue the traditional route and become an analyst after completing my studies. Nonetheless, I maintain a keen interest in the technical aspects of investments. This role suits my extroverted nature, while allowing for me to continuously learn from our brilliant team.
I have always had two boxes that I needed checked: I wanted to work in (1) a client facing role which (2) involved investments. So realistically, I think I would probably have further pursued a career as a wealth manager had I not ventured into asset management.
As mentioned before, I am quite a big extrovert. My weekends usually tend to have quite a big social component to them. I also love various disciplines of sport, so I try and combine sport with social events as frequently as I can. Whether that is by playing a round of golf or watching the game with my friends at a braai, I will try and make it a part of my weekend. I also have a fiancée, who I love spending time with.
I had the privilege of going to watch the Springboks play in the Rugby World Cup in France in 2023, with my dad. It was most certainly a bucket list item and something I will never forget! We also got to watch arguably one of the best matches of the entire World Cup, when the Springboks beat France in the quarter finals.
