Dynamic Wealth Pty (Ltd), a financial services company, turned a classroom on the Main Campus of the University of the Free State (UFS) into a research room. The room will be used by postgraduate students in the Department of Economics. During the handover ceremony Dynamic Wealth also allowed Esther von Maltitz, a masters student in the Department of Economics, to complete her SAIFM (South African Institute Financial Markets) Registered Persons examinations for free because her thesis during her honours degree was considered the best. At the handover of the research room were, from the left: Mr Flip Buys (Director and Portfolio Manager, Dynamic Wealth Bloemfontein) and Dr Jesse de Beer (Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics).
