Market Matters [Sponsored]
This week, we look ahead to South African and Chinese interest rate decisions. We also discuss EU and South African CPI data and reflect on the US CPI data that came out last week. We also look at the decision by S&P Ratings to revise the outlook of South Africa.

Deep Dive
We dive into the world of retirement structures. We explore the origins of defined benefits and defined contributions and outline the differences between the two. We also look at the implications of each on retirement and what potential benefits each option could have.

Investor Insights
We share some insights around the latest crypto changes set to impact South Africa in 2025. We look into the impact these changes could have once they are successfully implemented. And, of course, we update our wall of preferred picks.
