GUEST – Mthobisi Mthimkhulu, Direct Clients manager at Allan Gray

As long-term investors, we often say that there is no such thing as a free lunch: Performance is seldom delivered in a straight line, get-rich-quick schemes usually end in disappointment, and building long-term wealth takes time.

This means that long-term investors must exercise patience, have conviction in their investment strategies, and apply a consistent approach in order to meet their investment objectives. This is also true of tax-free investment (TFI) products: The real benefits are derived over longer periods of time. Mthobisi Mthimkhulu, Direct Clients manager at Allan Gray, joins Kaya Biz to discuss tax-free investment accounts and how to maximise the benefits they offer.
