The first Career Friday’s session of the year kicked off on 27 March 2026 featuring an enlightening guest lecture by Mr. Mathys du Preez, General Manager: Legal and Compliance at SanlamAllianz Namibia.
His presentation on Mathematics of Retirement provided students with an understanding of basic principles and financial mathematics required to convert the client’s retirement income need into a targeted capital amount at retirement and how the annual (monthly) savings that would be required to meet this capital goal is determined.
Career Fridays is a collaborative initiative between the NaSIA – Namibia Savings, Insurance & Investments Association and the University of Namibia School of Accounting, aimed at helping bridge the gap between academic learning and industry practice and connecting students with industry professionals.
Students from UNAM School of Accounting had the opportunity to engage with Mr. Mathys du Preez and expressed their appreciation for the session, which deepened their understanding of financial principles and their relevance in professional practice.
