ALLAN GRAY – Key questions to help you prepare for a secure retirement

GUEST - Mica Townsend - specialist in the Group Savings and Investments team at Allan Gray,

While our personal circumstances may differ, as retirement savers, we share one common goal – to have saved enough to ensure that the income we receive in retirement is sustainable for life and keeps pace with inflation. The reality, however, is that less than 10% of South Africans can afford to retirement comfortably. As life expectancy rates

continue to climb, it is even more critical to adequately plan for your retirement. There are several important questions to consider, both in the lead-up to and at retirement, which will influence whether you are able to retire comfortably. Mica Townsend, specialist in the Group Savings and Investments team at Allan Gray, joins Kaya Bizz to discuss key questions to consider to plan for a secure retirement.
