Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our financial services
Our financial planning process begins with an initial consultation to understand your current financial situation, goals, and concerns. We then gather detailed information about your assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and existing financial arrangements. Based on this information, we develop a comprehensive financial plan tailored to your specific needs.
The plan includes actionable recommendations across various aspects of your financial life. We then assist with implementing these recommendations and schedule regular reviews to track progress and make adjustments as needed. Financial planning is an ongoing process, not a one-time event.
We recommend reviewing your investment portfolio at least quarterly, with a more comprehensive annual review. However, the frequency may vary based on your individual circumstances, market conditions, and the complexity of your portfolio.
Regular reviews ensure your investments remain aligned with your goals and risk tolerance. They also provide opportunities to rebalance your portfolio, assess performance, and make strategic adjustments in response to changes in your life or market conditions.
The simple answer is: as early as possible. The power of compound growth means that starting your retirement planning in your 20s or 30s can significantly increase your retirement savings compared to starting in your 40s or 50s.
However, it's never too late to begin. If you're starting later in life, we can help you develop strategies to maximize your retirement savings in the time available. Regardless of your age, the best time to start planning for retirement is now.
South Africa offers several tax-advantaged investment options, including:
- Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs): Allow you to invest up to a specified annual limit without paying tax on the returns.
- Retirement Annuities (RAs): Contributions are tax-deductible up to certain limits, and growth within the fund is tax-free.
- Pension and Provident Funds: Similar tax benefits to RAs, typically offered through employers.
- Endowment Policies: Can offer tax advantages for higher-income individuals, particularly for investments held for at least five years.
The optimal mix of these vehicles depends on your individual circumstances, including your tax bracket, investment timeframe, and financial goals.
Determining your risk tolerance involves both objective and subjective factors. We use a combination of approaches:
- Risk Assessment Questionnaires: Standardized tools that evaluate your comfort level with different investment scenarios.
- Personal Discussions: In-depth conversations about your past investment experiences, reactions to market volatility, and financial concerns.
- Financial Capacity Analysis: Evaluating your financial situation to determine how much risk you can objectively afford to take.
- Goal-Based Assessment: Considering the timeframe and importance of your various financial goals.
This comprehensive approach helps us develop an investment strategy that you're comfortable with and that aligns with your financial objectives.
