ADVERTORIAL
GTC banner 2023-10-02
Two-pots is here (and in reality, this will be four pots), as opposed to the existing one-pot. How is it looking in your kitchen?

Fund members will require sophisticated fund administration accommodating the numerous alternative elective pre-retirement withdrawals of the Two-pots retirement system. They will also require additional - professional - counselling regarding the impact of premature pre-retirement withdrawal. Are you and your funds ready for this legislation?

Book a presentation with our CEO Gary Mockler to see how GTC can assist 13B administrators and benefit consultants with the relevant business processes associated with Two-pot.
