⛽️ Your fuel station portfolio update Godongwana’s MTBPS ((Medium Term Budget Policy Statement) came with something that doesn’t happen often: good news at the pump. From 4 November: Petrol: −R1.50/l Diesel: −R3.00/l Then from 1 December to 5 January: Petrol: −R1.00/l Diesel: −R1.50/l R10 billion in relief - funded by money returned from the Central Energy Fund rather than borrowed. Which is its own quiet bit of good news. On a 50ℓ tank, that’s around R75 you weren’t planning to have. R150 if you’re running diesel. Fill up a few times between now and January and it adds up to something real. Where it goes is entirely up to you. But money that was never in the budget is the easiest money in the world to put to work, because you never got used to it being there. 🇿🇦 easyequities.co.za | #EasyEquities

Five Otters in, and what keeps Andrea coming back isn’t the finish line. “Health can be multifaceted.” You’ve got physical health, obviously - but financial health matters just as much. It’s really just health, whether it’s financial, physical or mental. Then the part that lands. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆. Anyone who’s done the Otter knows a big part of it is training, and each year you’ve got that extra year behind you. This year she ran less mileage than before. She’s also got four years behind her. “Same with investing. If you just stick to the course, be consistent, the results are pretty good.” The Grail of Trail Presented by EasyEquities @ottertrailrun | #EasyEquities

Quick clarity on delistings, because this one trips people up... → Suspended = shares exist, you just can’t trade them → Delisted = shares exist, they’re just not on the exchange anymore → Either way = you still own them What changes isn’t ownership. It’s access. And that’s the lesson: being able to sell whenever you want is borrowed from the market being open. It can be withdrawn. easyequities.co.za | #EasyEquities

Yesterday we hosted #DayoftheGirl 2026 at our Rosebank offices with CFA Society South Africa. A day of young women exploring careers in finance, investing, data and technology, asset management, trading and fintech - and a team of ours talking honestly about how they got where they are. Our industry can look closed from the outside. Days like this are how that changes, one room at a time. Thank you to @CFA_SA, and to everyone who gave their time. Here’s to the next generation of women in finance. easyequities.co.za | #EasyEquities
