For many South Africans, knowing whether they are saving enough for retirement can be difficult. The impact of inflation, investment returns, fees, and time can make a significant difference to the amount available when it is time to retire.

In this practical webinar, MoneywebNOW’s Simon Brown is joined by 10X Investments Investment Consultants Brett Mackay and Asavela Gwele to unpack the essential calculations and investment decisions that can help South Africans build a stronger retirement.

The discussion will explain retirement investment maths in simple terms, including how much you may need to save, how compound growth works, and how inflation, fees and investment returns affect your eventual retirement income.

The session will also look at the different retirement savings options available, including employer pension and provident funds, retirement annuities and preservation funds. The experts will explain what investors should consider when changing jobs, whether it makes sense to preserve their retirement savings, and how they can assess the costs and performance of their existing funds.

For those using a retirement annuity, the webinar will explore the differences between assurance-based and unit trust-based RAs, Regulation 28, investment costs and the impact of choosing active or index-tracking funds.

The discussion will also consider what investors approaching retirement should be thinking about, including living versus guaranteed annuities, budgeting for retirement and healthcare costs, and ways to supplement retirement income.

For those still five years or more away from retirement, the webinar will highlight steps that can be taken now to improve their eventual outcome, from reviewing fees and investment performance to considering asset allocation and whether switching to a different investment solution could make a meaningful difference over time.

Who should attend?

Anyone thinking about retirement in the next few years;
People with five years or more before retirement;
Anyone currently investing in a pension, provident fund, or retirement annuity;
Investors who want to understand whether their retirement savings are on track;
Anyone concerned about investment costs or fund performance; and
Those who want to make more informed decisions about their retirement savings.

This webinar is designed to help South Africans understand the numbers behind retirement and make better-informed investment decisions at every stage of their retirement savings journey.
