At the recent Next Generation Investor Summit, Rina Hicks shared valuable insights from her journey in the financial services industry, offering practical advice on mindful and purposeful investing. Reflecting on her two-decade career, Hicks highlighted the importance of setting personal financial goals rather than following popular trends, stressing that investments should be aligned with individual aspirations and life circumstances. She emphasized that many people invest based on what others are doing, often without a clear understanding of their own objectives. To illustrate this point, she compared two contrasting financial journeys: Rose, who, despite modest earnings, became a millionaire by strategically buying small plots, negotiating favorable terms, and consistently saving; and Sam, a high earner who took a different financial path. Hicks encouraged attendees to approach investing as a personalized journey, one where even small, consistent efforts can compound to create significant wealth over time.

Through her narrative, Hicks also underscored the power of financial literacy and long-term thinking. By understanding basic principles and taking ownership of financial decisions, individuals can build sustainable wealth and resilience. She cited her experience at her family’s investment bank, where she witnessed many clients lacking clarity about their investment goals. Hicks emphasized that financial success stems from making intentional, informed decisions—whether by investing in property, stocks, or other assets that fit one's unique circumstances. By sharing her expertise, Hicks encouraged participants to consider investments not as isolated transactions but as pieces of a larger, personalized financial strategy that can support life goals and future security.
