In vehicle fleets, the costs of a crash extend far beyond the immediate bills related to the event. By helping clients prepare in advance, intermediaries can help them limit the financial burden to their business.

For Lizelle van der Merwe, Chief Executive of the Financial Intermediaries Association of Southern Africa (FIA), 2026 is a year of deliberate reflection and deliberate momentum. "2026 is a meaningful moment for us because it's a year where we're very intentionally reflecting on where we come from, while also shaping where we're going. The FIA has been built over decades by people who deeply cared about this profession, and this year is about honouring that legacy, while continuing to build something relevant and impactful for our members."

Much of the FIA's work happens behind the scenes, but its impact is real. "Real impact is when intermediaries are able to operate with clarity, with a voice, and with confidence in a complex environment, and that's what we work towards every day."

At a time when the pace of change can feel overwhelming, itโ€™s tempting to react with irritation or anger. But by choosing to prioritise calm, empathy and a focus on solutions, brokers can navigate uncertainty with confidence and clarity.

There are only a few organisations in South Africa's financial services landscape that can claim both deep historical roots and continued relevance in a rapidly evolving industry. The FIA is one of them, shaped by more than seven decades of collective advocacy, professional development, and industry stewardship.

The FIA's story is not the result of a single founding moment. It is the gradual coming together of multiple professional associations. On 1 January 2008, SAFSIA and the IBC formally merged to create the Financial Intermediaries Association of Southern Africa. Six months later, LUASA joined, completing a unification with combined roots stretching back to 1949.

Being part of the FIA has never been just about membership. It is about belonging to something bigger: a profession with history, a community with shared purpose, and a collective commitment to the people it serves.

That is the foundation, and from it, the FIA continues to grow.
This is just the beginning. Over the coming months, we'll be looking back through the FIA's archives, tracing how today's unified intermediary voice grew from our predecessors, and looking ahead at what collective representation means for the profession's future.

The annual golf day was a tremendous success, bringing together players, sponsors, and guests for a memorable day of competition, networking, and camaraderie.

The event was exceptionally well attended, with participants enjoying perfect weather, a well-prepared course, and a lively atmosphere throughout the day. From the exciting tee-off to the prize-giving ceremony, the spirit of teamwork and sportsmanship was evident, contributing to an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Overall, the golf day exceeded expectations and left attendees looking forward to next yearโ€™s event.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all our sponsors for their generous support and valuable contributions towards the success of our golf day.
