In a volatile economic climate like Zimbabwe’s, investment decisions are often driven by urgency and survival. But as financial markets evolve it is important to seek long-term growth and take proactive rather than reactive decisions.
At Minerva Insurance Brokers, we believe that how you invest matters just as much as where you invest. In a market where informal advice is common and scams are on the rise, ethical advisers provide not just financial expertise but peace of mind.
What Is Ethical Investment Advice?
Ethical investment advice means always putting the client’s best interests first. It involves:
● Full transparency about risks, costs, and returns
● Honest guidance based on a client’s goals and financial reality
● Avoiding conflicts of interest, such as pushing products for commissions
● Considering long-term impact, not just short-term gains
Zimbabweans face unique financial challenges: inflation, limited access to stable currencies, and a rapidly changing regulatory environment. These factors make trust even more critical.
Ethical advisers help clients avoid speculative traps or unrealistic promises and understand the pros and cons of offshore vs. local investment options. They help clients build balanced, diversified portfolios and plan around needs like education, retirement, and healthcare.
Ethics aren’t a luxury, they’re a necessity. Whether you’re investing for retirement, your children’s education, or to grow your business, make sure your advice is grounded in integrity.
Ethical advice isn’t about quick wins—it’s about sustainable, responsible decisions. At Minerva, we take our role seriously. We focus on clarity, compliance, and consistency helping individuals and businesses navigate risk with informed confidence.
