August is #WomensMonth and as a women owned company, we, at FAnews, always enjoy giving the August edition a bit of a personal touch with our Women's feature. This year, we once again approached quite a few women - women from all ranks and walks of life - to give us some insights on their journeys, on the tips they believe will help other women in the industry and what it means to be a woman in the 21st century...

Our focus on High-Net-Worth insurance this month has brought up many questions.

With statistics showing a large increase in emigration, most of which would be high net worth individuals, are there still opportunities in this segment? If there are, what are their specific needs and what has changed over the past few years?

Then, for those looking after the wealth of these individuals, what are the risk management requirements? These and other questions are answered or probed by the various contributors to our feature.

Will you be a second, third or final year undergraduate, or an Honours student next year? Are you keen on pursuing a career in the short-term insurance industry? Santam and StudyTrust are pleased to invite you to apply for a bursary if your studies are focused on one of the study programmes listed below.
