Suspension of U.S. Operations

New York Office Closure

Eternal Ethics. Pristine Principles.

Affluate’s operational ethos extends far beyond the natural scope of business. Integrity and respect will always trump profit. A resolute conscience, both in the office and out of the office, is at the heart of who we are and what we do.

U.S. Administration Policy Uncertainty

The current administration’s actions are characterised by a high degree of unpredictability, making risk assessment and quantification materially unreliable.

U.S. Administrative Racism, Dehumanisation, Fear Propaganda, Moral Inversion, Stereotype Amplification, Discrimination, Humiliation and Gross Vilification

We will not operate in a jurisdiction where the governing administration engages in grotesque disinformation campaigns that aim to undermine the sovereignty of foreign nations, including our founding country, South Africa.

We will not operate in a jurisdiction where foreign nations, together with their people, are collectively dehumanised and humiliated through vile designations while implying U.S. national superiority.

We will not operate in a jurisdiction where distorted narratives, stereotypes, and inflammatory state-level deception tactics are allowed to be amplified with the sole intention of misleading the international public.

We will not operate in a jurisdiction where severe and baseless accusations are circulated in ways that are in direct conflict with independent assessments and established facts. Where regrettable and divisive racist agendas form as the basis of foreign and domestic policy.

Abridged U.S. Suspension Statement

Affluate announces the indefinite suspension of its United States operations and closure of its New York office on 30 Broad Street, NY.

This suspension is effective as of 28 November 2025, and includes all U.S. business operations conducted by our private partners and representatives under the oversight of Affluate Group. This decision was wholly supported by the Group Ethics Committee and passed unanimously by the Group Executive Committee and Risk Committee on 26 November 2025 in Zürich, Switzerland.

Affluate is not a political organisation and does not involve itself in partisan agendas. However, certain matters transcend politics.

Truth is not negotiable, and we will not operate in environments where it is optional. Affluate stands unequivocally with the principle that truth must never be compromised, under any circumstances.
