And just like that, the December holidays are over and we’re already well into 2026.
In the last issue, Athena did a sneak peak of some activity we were up to in October. I’m pleased to share that Racing Spirit competed in the inaugural Cape Town Speed Classic on 26 October 2025! Racing along the world-famous Philip Kgosana highway and against the backdrop of the majestic Table Mountain, Ian and Connor joined some 140 racing entrants firmly placing this inaugural event on the racing calendar. Capetonians came out in their thousands to experience the spectacle with another 180,000 watching online.
You can visit our photo gallery on the Racing Spirit website here to watch some of the footage and browse the race photos!
Q4 was an incredibly exciting time for the marketing team. Not only with the Speed Classic race, but we ended off the year finalising the work on the new Warwick Wealth app we have built especially for clients which we then launched in January 2026. We wanted to start the year off with a bang - and we did! The Warwick Wealth app provides a clear and straightforward way to view your investments and stay up to date with the latest insights from Warwick Wealth. Designed with our clients in mind, this personalised app puts your private wealth portfolio at your fingertips so you can see where your investments stand anytime, anywhere.
The Warwick Wealth app is available in the Apple and Google play stores as well as online through our Web app.
Additionally, for Warwick Wealth, we refreshed the brand look and feel to bring in more on our ethos, philosophy and approach. In the world of finance, Warwick lives by the three core principles of time, patience and consistency. These are the same tenets that are found in nature and inspire us to continue setting the standard in private wealth management.
Just as the relentless flow of water carves canyons and reshapes landscapes, successful investing requires time for strategies to develop and grow. Like nature, investments require time, patience and consistency to reach maturity.

Our YouTube channels continue to feature valuable and informative content and Q4 was no different. Just to list a few:
Appleton – The Fiduciary Specialists covered, ‘It’s an uncomfortable topic, but we need to prepare for the costs associated with death.’
Warwick Wealth touched on, ‘Is it still worth considering taking out a Retirement Annuity?’
Orion Investment Managers discusses, ‘Looking beneath the headlines of global financial markets.’
For the Spirit Foundation, some staff went to LOFOB (League of Friends of the Blind) to just do good. This is a touching video of the day’s events! Take out your tissues – this video is going to pull on your heartstrings.
You can view the video on the Spirit Foundation Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1FpzRKoVrz/ or on our YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGb7EcEET58.
And, last but not least, we’re very excited to share the launch of two new brands within the Spirit Invest group – Infiniti Wealth and Silverthorn. Please visit our websites to read more about what these exciting new brands have to offer.
In closing, I would like to acknowledge the promotion of Athena Peddie. Athena joined us in August 2024 as Spirit Group’s Marketing General Manager, and over the past year and a half she has worked exceptionally hard and added tremendous value to our organisation.
