David Coulthard set to inspire on GCI’s annual Wealth Tour

20 August 2020 GCI Wealth

Set your GPS for a successful retirement

This year, the GCI Wealth Tour will take place virtually and will feature the legendary Formula-1 champion, David Coulthard, in conversation with Mark Gallagher, a senior Formula-1 executive, author and broadcaster.

The theme for this year’s Wealth Tour is “Reset your GPS”, alluding to GCI’s core belief that Growth cannot be achieved without a focus on Purpose and Sustainability.

“David remains an inspiration in terms of the way he got to the top in the highly competitive world of Formula-1. He knew what his purpose was and he set out intentionally to achieve it. That approach has served him well outside of Formula-1 as well, so he certainly has something to teach us all,” says Alex Cook, CEO of GCI. “Everybody needs to establish what their purpose is and then set out to achieve it with absolute focus. That’s the approach we follow at GCI to reach our goal of changing the face of retirement.

“You don’t become a world champion without a clear purpose and a set of intentional actions, and that’s the message we want to pass onto our clients and colleagues in the financial advisory sector,” says Cook.

A key theme throughout the webinar will be the power of independent decision-making based on the very best data. Technology is a key tool for financial advisors, and Cook will present Wealthbit, the financial planning tool co-developed by GCI to provide advisors with a powerful way to help their clients reset their investment GPS and achieve their goals. Using the right technology correctly is now a key success factor in today’s complex investment markets, he says.

Greg Flash, Chief Investment Officer at Cinnabar Investment Management, will participate in the webinar to explore how to make sure investments stay on track to achieve the client’s goals at the lowest possible risk by using an independent global multimanager approach.

“As always, the GCI Wealth Tour is a great way to get an update on the current thinking in the investment sector, and to benefit from the insights and inspiration offered by a top achiever like David Coulthard,” Cook says.

Investors and financial advisors are encouraged to register for the free webinar on 1 September 2020 at 10h00 by visiting www.gci.co.za/wealthtour.
