Dear Spirit staff, partners and friends,

Welcome to the latest edition of Spirit Insider and a slight change as I personally pivot allowing the Spirit Executive to cover their own areas of responsibility in more depth and to ensure that I do not steal their highlights and successes.

Therefore, please read on below from Tiaan, our CFO, about the second quarter in Finance, Compliance and Operations. Then from Marc as our CEO of Orion Wealth Managers, which owns Warwick Wealth, Infiniti Wealth, Appleton and Silverthorne. He will bring you some inside info on the development of the newer companies and the ongoing success of our M&A operations, all of which has helped to build the distribution aspect of the OWM business into one of the largest and certainly the most professional in South Africa.

As the MD of Orion Investment Managers, Adrian will deliver his reflections on Q2, the returns achieved by our five asset management companies operating in SA and will also refer to our extensive and growing number of Research Partners.  

As GM of Warwick Wealth, Connor will talk of its successes and rapidly growing number of Warwick partners, offices and distribution opportunities that are now open across South Africa. Your executive team will also be very ably supported with articles from their own Manco staff members.

Wendy as the MD of Spirit Foundation will elaborate on all the latest successes and our projects in Cape Town and Bonnievale.

I hope you all enjoy this edition, and I would like to end very simply by thanking my Executive and every single staff member for helping as a great team to produce a record Q2 and our finest first six months of overall business ever.

Regards,
