A highly entertaining read.

I've written something about the rugby tomorrow (in Afrikaans or English original - don't use the Google translate option). Say, why aren't you subscribed to Vrye Weekblad? It's excellent.

@spectatorindex NYC is a cool city that I’ve explored plenty, but CT 🇿🇦 is unbeatable. In fact, Berlin should be no.2 right after CT. And Tokyo deserves a higher spot.

Here’s👇an excellent explanation of the new two-pot retirement system. It’s a must-read for anyone who’s confused by it (especially if they’re responsible for implementing it).

[Ninety One SA @ninetyone_sa]

The two-pot retirement system will allow fund members limited access to their benefits before retirement.

Leone Hitge, Investment Marketing Manager, unpacks the key elements of the new system and the financial implications of early withdrawals.

Just to be clear: a living annuity can invest up to 100% offshore if the provider doesn’t max out its SARB limit across all of its retail products/customers. Looks like @sygnia has, but other providers still offer 100% offshore exposure.

[Sygnia @sygnia]

“The Sygnia Living Annuity currently has a 40% offshore allocation limit. This cap ensures compliance with the SARB regulation of 45% while allowing investors to maximize their offshore investments.” - Kyle Hulett, Co-Head of investments⁠

Honest mistakes are promptly corrected. 👏

[Sygnia @sygnia]

Starting August 1, 2024, the Sygnia Itrix FANG. AI Actively Managed ETF management fee will be amended to 1% per annum (excluding VAT) AND no performance fee. Your path to tax-free savings just got clearer! 💰 #SygniaInvestments #ETFs #FinancialGrowth #sygnia

[David Hufton @DavidHufton]

@SoulFairy3 @sygnia Not fair, indeed. In fact, misleading. According to @sygnia, “maths is timeless” - or does it now come with caveats?

[David Hufton @DavidHufton]

How can @sygnia claim it’s reducing a fee to 1% when it currently charges 0.7%? Dropping a contingent performance fee (not mentioned on fact sheet) doesn’t count. @sygnia, care to clarify for your ETF investors?

[David Hufton @DavidHufton]

@Investing_1A Huh…reducing to 1%? But the @sygnia fact sheet states the management fee is currently 0.7%. “Reduced” isn’t the same as “amended”.

[David Hufton @DavidHufton]

@pietviljoen A welcome read while I'm in France and hoping to catch a stage of Le Tour. This year's shift from the traditional Paris finish to the French Riviera also underscores the importance of adapting your investment strategy to major market changes.

Admirable double-digit growth @alexforbes and positive AUM flows while competition bleeds assets. Thrilled with my higher regular and surprise special dividends. 🙏👏 Dawie and team.

[Citywire South Africa @CitywireSA]

@sygnia bleeds #netoutflows in the first half of its latest financial year. Sygnia reported net #outflows of R11.2bn for the six months ended March 2024, which was more than double the value of the comparable period a year earlier, @DieVisser writes. https://t.co/1b2YHSkh19

1. A few reflections on the #SAelections24 results (98,5% captured at time of posting). Despite some glitches, on the whole it has been a free and fair election. A majority of the world’s population do not have this privilege.
