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.

Greylisting: one year on
It’s been a year since the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey-listed South Africa. At the time, many predictions were made about the impact that greylisting would have on the country. Moonstone speaks to Sangeeth Sewnath, deputy managing director of Ninety One, about the extent to which greylisting is affecting the economy, the capital markets, and retail investors. Have we seen the worst of the fall-out, or is there more pain to come? Most importantly, is the country making progress with achieving the FATF’s action plan to get off the grey list in 2025? Sewnath was one of the high-profile people featured in “Greylisting”, the documentary Moonstone released last year that explains why South Africa was grey-listed.
