Start Building your Future Knowledge.

At 1.618 Group, the golden thread runs through everything we do. It’s a symbol of elegance, balance, and purpose. Inspired by the golden ratio from which we draw our name, it reminds us that true value lies in harmony - the harmony of planning, passion, and people.

This Women's Month, we celebrate the women who embody that harmony daily — in their homes, in their businesses, and in the entire South African economy. Whether managing family finances with insight and intention, leading teams through uncertainty, or quietly anchoring communities through resilience, women are the invisible force - the golden thread - that holds so much together.

We recognise that a woman's role in the modern world is not defined by either/or but by ‘and’. She is a mother and a manager. A caregiver and a company director. A homemaker and a high-performer. She brings intuition to strategy, empathy to leadership, and vision to the future. She balances budgets while balancing life.

As financial advisors, we know that wealth is more than numbers. It is confidence. It is legacy. It is stability. That’s why we are committed to walking alongside the women in our lives – this month and always – and cheering them on as they continue to build the foundation for the future of our country.

This August, let’s honour the women who weave excellence into our everyday - and let’s ensure the thread of golden opportunities continues. Here’s to the women who lead with heart and head. The women who are building legacies. And the women who inspire us to do better, every single day.

From the 1.618 team, Happy Women’s Month.
