Stephen Grootes speaks to Jason Lightfoot, Senior Portfolio Manager at Futuregrowth Asset Management, about why bankability, rather than capital availability, remains the main challenge in addressing South Africa’s water infrastructure crisis. Lightfoot explains that while institutional investors have billions ready to deploy, funding will only flow into projects that meet strict bankability standards. He also highlights how instruments such as blue bonds and blended-finance models depend on well-structured, investable programme design.

In other interviews, Chantal Marx, Head of Equity Research at FNB Wealth and Investments, and Asanda Notshe, Chief Investment Officer at Mazi Asset Management, chat about private assets and how they fit within the wider investment landscape.
