PODCAST | Becoming David Shapiro

He says this discipline has helped him to keep up with and organise the barrage of information that an investment professional has to deal with constantly. Even now, he keeps up with the moves of big technology players such as Apple and Microsoft. 

The discussion focuses on lessons learned along the way, key themes that have shaped SA’s equities markets and his expectations going forward. 

Shapiro is not shy to expose some of the down moments in his career, including companies whose success he wishes he had predicted, such as Capitec and Clicks. He also relates the difficult parts of his job, giving advice to those looking to have a great career in the world of investing. 

Even as many in the world of financial markets look for new and alternative areas in which to invest their funds, Shapiro believes that equities are still the best investment out there. He ends the discussion saying he’s excited about the coming decade and what it has to offer.
