Mr Price | A Wardrobe malfunction

MRP's attractive positioning in the market (value fashion) was diluted in the current period due to poor execution on the product offer, underestimating the impact of high inflation on volumes and inability to adapt offer for changes in the market.

SA Investment Strategy | Review of January 2020 for SA investors: Coronavirus weighs on the ZAR

From an SA asset-allocation perspective, SA Bonds (ALBI +1.2%) outperformed cash (STEFI +0.6%) and equities (Capped SWIX -2.6%) in Jan â€˜20.

Our discussions with various corporates in China suggest that the Coronavirus will peak over the coming weeks and could take until Mar '20 to resolve.

SA Banks | Low credit risk in commercial property | Time to buy SA banks

Challenging SA economic conditions bring SA REITs credit health and banks' lending to the sector into the spotlight. Our analysis in this report provides greater detail on SA banks' exposure to commercial property and listed REITs.
