Hannes Bruwer

Options and Futures Trader

Johannesburg

Hannes has been upskilled internally, by experts, on topics such as: spread betting, contract for difference (CFD) trading, futures, options, forex and commodities pricing, margin policies, corporate actions, market analysis and equities trading

Before joining IG, he worked as an Assistant Accountant, Academic Facilitator, and Barista.

With IG since: 2023

Trading since: 2023

Preferred trading style: Long-term growth focus, prioritising high-dividend equities and S&P 500 stability. Leverage technical analysis for shorter-term moves.

Most memorable trade: At a Cape Town hedge fund conference, RMB's Chief Economist predicted US Crude would surpass $100 per barrel by year-end, citing global conflicts. Inspired, I went long on US Crude at $71.82 the following Monday. I set my take-profit at $87.00 and exited with a substantial gain. I'm now eyeing re-entry above $85 to test the economist's full prediction.

Favourite financial book/podcast: Book: How Time, Volatility, and Other Pricing Factors Drive Profits. Podcast: FT News Briefing, Financial Times.

Hannes combines hands-on trading experience with comprehensive market insights. Joining IG in 2023, he embraces the philosophy: "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."

Beyond the office, Hannes is an enthusiastic gamer, film buff, Formula 1 aficionado, and devoted family person.
