Johannesburg, 23 July 2026: Excitement is building for the JSE SheInvests 2026, as women from across South Africa prepare to come together for one of the country's most influential gatherings focused on financial empowerment, investing and wealth creation. Through both in-person and virtual experiences, the JSE SheInvests continues to make financial knowledge more accessible, helping women wherever they are to learn, connect and take meaningful steps towards achieving their financial goals.

 Taking place on Saturday, 1 August 2026 at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit under the theme, “Boldly Redefining Wealth, Power & Purpose”, the JSE SheInvests 2026 will bring together leading voices from business, finance and entrepreneurship to share practical insights, personal experiences and actionable strategies to help women take greater control of their financial futures.

 This year's programme will feature engaging conversations on building generational wealth, developing financial resilience, investing with confidence at every stage of life, navigating market opportunities and cultivating smart money habits for long-term financial wellbeing. Attendees will also hear from an impressive lineup of speakers, including renowned financial journalist and author Maya Fisher-French, humanitarian, actress and entrepreneur Nomzamo Mbatha, Dr Mavis Mazhuru, leadership psychologist and expert in emotional mastery and personal growth, alongside other influential business and financial leaders.

 While the in-person event at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit has once again generated significant interest, the virtual experience is designed to ensure that geography is not a barrier to participation. Whether joining individually, hosting a watch party with friends and family members, attendees can access the day's conversations from anywhere and become part of a growing community committed to financial empowerment.

 “The growth of the JSE SheInvests reflects a growing appetite among women for practical financial knowledge, meaningful connections and greater participation in investing. The commitment shown by our sponsors, Old Mutual, Investec, BioMedical Emporium, Kaya 959 and Primedia, highlights the critical role that joint efforts play in advancing financial literacy and creating more pathways for women to build wealth and achieve financial independence. We are excited to welcome an even larger community to the JSE SheInvests movement,” said Vuyo Lee, Chief Marketing and Corporate Affairs Officer at the JSE.

 The continued growth of the JSE SheInvests is made possible through the support of organisations that share a commitment to advancing financial literacy, economic inclusion and greater participation by women in the economy.

 As Diamond Sponsor, Old Mutual plays a pivotal role in advancing the JSE SheInvests mission. United by a shared commitment to financial literacy and economic inclusion, Old Mutual helps South Africans achieve their goals, grow their wealth and secure a better future.

 “Our continued partnership with the JSE SheInvests reflects our commitment to empowering more women to take control of their financial futures, build long-term wealth and participate meaningfully in the economy. When women are equipped to make informed financial decisions, the impact extends far beyond the individual — strengthening families, communities and future generations. SheInvests provides a powerful platform for learning, inspiration and action, and we are proud to be part of a movement that is helping more women turn financial goals into lasting progress,” said Vuyokazi Mabude, Head of Brand at Old Mutual.

 As Platinum Sponsor, Investec brings its expertise and perspective as a leading international bank and wealth manager to the JSE SheInvests platform. Wealth should optimise financial well-being and secure personal purpose. Investec is helping women navigate the world of finance with a broader lens, greater confidence and encouraging more meaningful participation in the economy.

 “We believe wealth is more than just returns. With women playing a greater role as owners and stewards of wealth, we feel that this is the perfect forum not just for a discussion of investment itself, but also of the role investment plays in bringing meaning to our lives and those around us,” says Alexandra Nortier, joint head of wealth management at Investec Wealth & Investment International.

 As a Gold Sponsor, Biomedical Emporium is proud to support a platform that equips women with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about their futures. Guided by a commitment to innovation, scientific excellence and wellbeing, Biomedical Emporium's involvement reflects a shared belief that empowered women are key to building stronger communities and a more inclusive economy.

 “At Biomedical Emporium, we believe that lasting change begins when women take ownership of their futures through knowledge, confidence and informed decision-making. We are committed to creating opportunities for women to lead, invest in themselves and build meaningful legacies. We encourage every woman to become comfortable in her own skin, embrace her potential and recognise her worth - because when women own their future, they drive innovation, strengthen communities and shape a more prosperous tomorrow for generations to come,” said Dr Judey Pretorius, Dermatological Biochemist and founder of BioMedical Emporium.

 Through its role as the JSE SheInvests' official radio collaborator, Kaya 959 plays an important role in driving conversations around financial literacy, investment participation and women's economic empowerment, connecting the initiative with audiences nationwide through compelling shows such as the multi-award-winning Kaya Biz, hosted by leading financial journalist, Gugu Mfuphi.

 Primedia, the JSE SheInvests' Media Sponsor, extends the reach of the initiative through its extensive media platforms, ensuring the message and impact of SheInvests resonates with thousands more women across South Africa.

 Nedbank and ETFSA further enrich the JSE SheInvests experience by providing attendees with direct access to industry expertise, practical investment insights and valuable resources to support their financial journeys.

 Together with these organisations, the JSE SheInvests is providing a platform that goes beyond a single event. By connecting women with trusted information, practical tools, relatable role models and meaningful networks, the JSE SheInvests is helping more women build the confidence to make informed financial decisions and shape stronger financial futures for themselves and their families.

 With momentum continuing to build ahead of the event, now is the time to secure a virtual seat and be part of a critical conversation centred around empowering more women to invest with confidence and shape their financial futures.
