It rewards patience in year one. Building a client base takes longer than most people expect. The private wealth managers who push through that period build something genuinely valuable on the other side of it.

It rewards relationships over transactions. The HNW clients here have options. They stay with advisors who understand their situation completely and deliver advice that's clearly in their interest.

It rewards global thinking. The clients here have international lives. Assets, families and interests that cross borders. Advisors who can think and structure across jurisdictions build the strongest practices.

And it rewards the decision to arrive while the market is still growing. The window is still open. But it gets narrower every year.

This week’s Monday Espresso Podcast – 15 June 2026 covers a packed market update, from geopolitics and central banks to IPOs and AI regulation.

Rory Dowie and Andrew Shaw discuss the announced Iran peace deal, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, recent moves in oil prices, US inflation data, the ECB’s rate hike, and what to watch from the Federal Reserve and Bank of England this week.

They also reflect on SpaceX’s record-breaking IPO and the US government’s decision to restrict access to Anthropic’s latest AI models, highlighting the growing importance of regulation in the AI space.

SpaceX’s record IPO set the tone for a week shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, mixed inflation signals and important central bank decisions.

In South Africa, stronger GDP growth and a ratings upgrade added to a more constructive domestic backdrop, although investment and demand trends remain key areas to watch.

Eight or more years of client relationships, built through difficult markets, through the moments that matter, feels like something that can't simply be handed to someone else.

We explain the structure. South African clients stay managed by the Carrick South Africa team. Relationships maintained to the same standard. Commission continues.

Then we explain what that means in practice. You are not starting from zero in Mauritius. You are building a new client base here while your existing book keeps working for you back home.

By the end of that conversation, the book is rarely the reason someone decides not to make the move.

What stops people tends to be more personal. The family conversation that hasn't happened yet. The timing that isn't quite right. The comfort of the known winning out over the pull of something bigger.

Those are honest reasons. We respect them.

But if the only thing holding you back is the question of what happens to your clients, the answer is clear. They're looked after. Your commission continues. The transition is structured and supported.

The rest is up to you.

May was another positive month for global equities, led by AI-related technology and semiconductor shares. However, market leadership remained narrow, oil-related inflation risks persisted, and South African equities underperformed global peers.

In our latest Month in Review, we unpack the key market moves across the US, Europe, Japan, China and South Africa, and what investors should keep in mind when positioning diversified portfolios.

Three global licences means you can structure solutions across jurisdictions that most South African practices don't have access to. And the clients here aren't a South African client base in a different location.

They are genuinely international HNW clients from across the world, with assets, families and interests that cross borders. The solutions they need reflect that. Independent means the advice starts with the client's portfolio.

Not a product shelf, not a quarterly target. Just what's right for the client. Award-winning means this is not an experiment. It's a firm with a decade of track record and an international reputation that opens doors with exactly the kind of clients you want to be advising.

That's what it lets you do.

This week on the Monday Espresso Podcast – 8th June 2026, Rory Dowie and Andrew Shaw take a closer look at the potential SpaceX IPO and the key questions investors have been asking.

The episode covers recent market movements, including equity markets taking a breather after a strong run, the impact of US jobs data on interest rate expectations, and rising oil prices following developments in the Middle East.

The discussion then turns to SpaceX, with a breakdown of its three business areas: Starlink, the space launch segment, and SpaceX AI. Rory and Andrew explore the proposed valuation, how it compares to previous high-profile IPOs, the potential effects of a small public float, lock-up periods, index inclusion, and why free cash flow remains an important long-term consideration.

We're not building a headcount. We're building a team of private wealth managers who chose to be here, who do excellent work, and who are genuinely invested in what we're creating.

The people already here made a real decision to make this move. They built their client base from scratch. They put in the work that year one asks of you.

We're looking for the next person who is ready to do the same.

Eight or more years of HNW experience. A track record that's real. The personal readiness to build in a new market.

If that's you, the team here would like to meet you.

It wasn't the market. It wasn't the clients or the earning potential.

It was the team.

The private wealth managers at Carrick Catalyst are not people who ended up here. They are people who made a considered decision, did the work to get here, and built something they are genuinely proud of.

Working alongside people like that changes how you operate. The standard is different. The conversations are different. What you expect of yourself is different.

We think the quality of the people around you matters more than most job descriptions will ever admit.

It's one of the reasons we are selective about who we bring in.
