He has a particular interest in the BRICS, Responsible Investing (ESG,) and certain key investment topics including Megatrends and Financial Repression. He co-authored a book in 2014 on the BRICS, entitled HalfWay There, to some acclaim.

Glenn joined RisCura as a consultant and strategic advisor in early 2020 as a non-executive on the RisCura Global Investment Committee (GIC) and its various sub-committees. He is involved with various strategic projects and also chairs the RisCura Investment Risk Oversight Committee.

His clients included the likes of Sasfin Wealth, MCBIM, STANLIB, and Novare (acting CIO).
