Cape Town, 21 November 2025: This Saturday, the Old Mutual Wealth Double Century returns to Swellendam, bringing together grit, strategy, and the unstoppable power of teamwork.
Cycling and wealth management share the same DNA,” says Farhad Sader, Managing Director at Old Mutual Wealth. “Both demand clear goals, smart planning, and the resilience to overcome challenges. Whether you’re navigating unpredictable markets or conquering 200km of open road, success takes planning, digging deep, determination, and the collective strength of a team.”
Now in its fifth year, Old Mutual Wealth’s partnership with the Pedal Power association continues to inspire thousands of riders nationwide and globally. This year, a record 3,500 cyclists will rise to the challenge, proving that when we ride together, we go further.
Behind every achievement - whether it’s a gold medal or a secure retirement - is a team that believes in you,” adds Sader. The Double Century is unique: it’s not about individual glory, it’s about the power of unity, of understanding each other’s strengths, being able to read a nuance and looking after one another every gruelling kilometre of the way! At Old Mutual Wealth, we understand this important principle around partnering with our clients’ every step of the way.
“Challenges will always test us, but true success lies in long-term focus and unwavering resilience,” says Sader. “To every cyclist taking on this iconic race: ride safe, ride strong, and remember, the journey is as rewarding as the destination.”
