JSE Celebrates 134 Years

November marks the 134th anniversary of the Johannesburg Securities Exchange. It all harks back to the discovery of gold in the Wits basin in 1886, which resulted in the formation of the great mining finance houses with investors who needed a central facility to access primary capital. Initially trading took place in a miner' tent and moved to the stables at the corner of what in now Saur and Commissioner Streets. To reflect on the history of the capital markets in SA and the road ahead it’sa great pleasure to welcome Dr Leila Fourie, Group CEO, Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE); Sasfin Securities’ Deputy Chairman, David Shapiro and Liston Meintjes, who is now independent but has had a storied career in investment management
