		<description><![CDATA[In this episode of the Platinum Portfolios Perspective, Ansonette Esterhuizen, Charolyn Pedlar and Mel Meltzer explore the principle of Staying in Our Lane - a philosophy grounded in discipline,clarity of mandate and long-term thinking.

Centered on focusing on controllable factors, disciplined decision-making and learning from mistakes without abandoning strategy, the episode reinforces for Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs) and private clients that sustainable wealth is built by maintaining clarity of mandate, filtering out market noise and applying rational, process-driven judgement consistently throughmarket cycles.<br />

Takeaways<br />
• Focusing only on controllable factors<br />
• Applying disciplined, process-driven decision-making<br />
• Learning from mistakes without abandoning strategy<br />
Sound bites<br />
“excellence lives in the details”<br />

		<description><![CDATA[In this episode, Mel Meltzer and Charolyn Pedlar reflect on the lessons from an unexpectedly strong 2025 and what this means for managing risk through marketcycles in 2026. Drawing on over 25 years of experience, they explain why major downturns are rarely random, how rising risk shows up in credit, valuations and behaviour, and why these signals are used to prepare portfolios rather than predict markets. The discussion also covers South Africa’s improving backdrop and ongoing risks, before showing how Platinum’s disciplined, risk-focused approach is applied across its funds - reinforcing that long-term outcomes are built through preparation, discipline and capital protection, the same habits seen in elite sport.<br />
