MBSE top achievers shine: how these financial pros thrived with online learning
Moonstone Information Refinery · Moonstone Information Refinery · January 2025
Moonstone Business School of Excellence writes up the top achievers on its Higher Certificate in Wealth Management, and I am one of the two.
"Stéan Bouwer, 40, director at TOHI Group in Paarl and valedictorian of MBSE's Higher Certificate in Wealth Management (HCWM), also commends MBSE for its informative updates and helpful lecturers."
The reason I took it is the reason it is worth mentioning here at all. By 2024 I was carrying a group P&L across seven entities — treasury mandate, annual financial statements, the lot — and I wanted the financial side properly learned rather than picked up on the way past. The piece I found most useful was investment and retirement planning fundamentals; the one I found hardest was the regulatory environment, which tells you something honest about where my interest sits.
I finished it in a year, because a qualification you are still carrying two years later is a qualification you are not yet using.
