Retirement & Investment

A retirement plan you can read in one page, not eleven policy documents

We consolidate, benchmark and manage retirement and investment assets against a published funding-ratio target — not against a product's brochure return.

Couple reviewing retirement planning documents with an advisor

Consolidation first

Most clients arrive with retirement assets spread across four or more providers accumulated over a career. We reconstruct a single asset register before recommending a single change.

Average 11 policies reduced to 2–3

Advisor reviewing Regulation 28 compliance documents at a desk

Reg 28 discipline

Every retirement fund allocation is checked against Regulation 28 offshore and equity limits at implementation and again every quarter, not just at the annual review.

0 breaches across 214 active plans

Consultation room where offshore allocation strategy is discussed

Offshore within the rules

For clients wanting hard-currency exposure, we structure allocations within the current SARB individual investment allowance and disclose the exchange-rate assumptions used in projections.

Up to R11m annual allowance modelled

The typical outcome after 18 months

Clients typically see a 38% average improvement in retirement funding ratio, a 9% average reduction in effective tax rate on contributions, and R0 change to household take-home pay in most restructures.
