A highly entertaining read.
I've written something about the rugby tomorrow (in Afrikaans or English original - don't use the Google translate option). Say, why aren't you subscribed to Vrye Weekblad? It's excellent. vryeweekblad.com/en/news-and… via @vryeweekblad

Here’s👇an excellent explanation of the new two-pot retirement system. It’s a must-read for anyone who’s confused by it (especially if they’re responsible for implementing it).
The two-pot retirement system will allow fund members limited access to their benefits before retirement. Leone Hitge, Investment Marketing Manager, unpacks the key elements of the new system and the financial implications of early withdrawals. #twopot #investing #retirement

Just to be clear: a living annuity can invest up to 100% offshore if the provider doesn’t max out its SARB limit across all of its retail products/customers. Looks like @sygnia has, but other providers still offer 100% offshore exposure.
“The Sygnia Living Annuity currently has a 40% offshore allocation limit. This cap ensures compliance with the SARB regulation of 45% while allowing investors to maximize their offshore investments.” - Kyle Hulett, Co-Head of investments⁠ #AnnuityFunds #InvestorAdvice

Honest mistakes are promptly corrected. 👏
Starting August 1, 2024, the Sygnia Itrix FANG. AI Actively Managed ETF management fee will be amended to 1% per annum (excluding VAT) AND no performance fee. Your path to tax-free savings just got clearer! 💰 #SygniaInvestments #ETFs #FinancialGrowth #sygnia

How can @sygnia claim it’s reducing a fee to 1% when it currently charges 0.7%? Dropping a contingent performance fee (not mentioned on fact sheet) doesn’t count. @sygnia, care to clarify for your ETF investors?

@sygnia bleeds #netoutflows in the first half of its latest financial year. Sygnia reported net #outflows of R11.2bn for the six months ended March 2024, which was more than double the value of the comparable period a year earlier, @DieVisser writes. citywire.com/za/news/sygnia-…

Spot on.
1. A few reflections on the #SAelections24 results (98,5% captured at time of posting). Despite some glitches, on the whole it has been a free and fair election. A majority of the world’s population do not have this privilege.

I’ve read a lot of (boring) manager commentaries in my time. Few are as engaging as👇: concise, not overrun with jargon, and expresses an actual opinion.
