The second article in our series on African alternative investment during Covid-19 comprises a list of how different sectors in the Southern African marketplace might emerge post the Covid-19 Pandemic.

What are Investors Doing Differently in Africa in the Covid-19 Era?
With the advent of the Great Global Lockdown, it seems appropriate to focus on how the market in Africa is developing, with particular emphasis on South Africa as one of Africa’s most sophisticated financial markets.
