--- title: blog | Jordan Toy, CFA description: I am an analytically minded professional wealth manager with a keen interest in equity markets and how they are affected by human behavior. My passion for the investment industry led me to become a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) which is widely regarded as the highest distinction in the investment management profession. My focus is assisting new and established investors in managing their portfolios and achieving outcomes, be that via conservative or aggressive means. Whether it's local or offshore investments, retirement portfolios, or even the myriad of different forms of insurance, I am confident that I can solve problems and ensure that your money is working for you and not the other way around. --- [Skip to content](https://jordantoywealth.co.za/blog/author/jordan-toy#main-content) # The Viewpoint Analysis, commentary, and market thinking from Jordan Toy, CFA [![](https://jordantoywealth.co.za/hubfs/Control%20room.jpg)](https://jordantoywealth.co.za/blog/investing-in-defence-its-not-just-bombs-bullets-and-smith-wesson-anymore) ## [Investing in Defence: It’s Not Just Bombs, Bullets and Smith & Wesson Anymore](https://jordantoywealth.co.za/blog/investing-in-defence-its-not-just-bombs-bullets-and-smith-wesson-anymore) ![Picture of Jordan Toy, CFA](https://jordantoywealth.co.za/hs-fs/hubfs/202307%20-%20Jordan%20Headshot%20(colour).png?width=50&name=202307%20-%20Jordan%20Headshot%20(colour).png) [Jordan Toy, CFA](https://jordantoywealth.co.za/blog/author/jordan-toy) Jun 3, 2025, 12:32:44 PM From Bombs to Bytes: Rethinking Defence Investing [Read more](https://jordantoywealth.co.za/blog/investing-in-defence-its-not-just-bombs-bullets-and-smith-wesson-anymore) [![](https://jordantoywealth.co.za/hubfs/ChatGPT%20Image%20Apr%2011%2c%202025%2c%2011_53_43%20AM-1.png)](https://jordantoywealth.co.za/blog/whiplash-economics-why-volatility-still-shocks-us-1) ## [Whiplash Economics: Why Volatility Still Shocks Us](https://jordantoywealth.co.za/blog/whiplash-economics-why-volatility-still-shocks-us-1) ![Picture of Jordan Toy, CFA](https://jordantoywealth.co.za/hs-fs/hubfs/202307%20-%20Jordan%20Headshot%20(colour).png?width=50&name=202307%20-%20Jordan%20Headshot%20(colour).png) [Jordan Toy, CFA](https://jordantoywealth.co.za/blog/author/jordan-toy) Apr 11, 2025, 12:01:48 PM As I write this article, investment markets are capping off their worst first-quarter performance si...
