In this edition, we explore what it means to be long-term thinkers who look beyond the short-term noise.

Head of Research Kevin Cousins makes the case for looking beyond the short-term noise when stalwarts fall from grace. Finally, analyst Gavin Rabbolini shares our supply-side analysis on platinum group metals, and explains how a focus on the longer-term factors shaping the sector helps us in identifying opportunities for our clients.

Hamlet once asked the famous question: “To be or not to be?” – in essence, is it better to live or to die? The heart of the question lies in our fear of the unknown.

When discussing retirement, I always begin my presentation with a single figure: R2 310. I can guarantee there will be surprises on the faces of the people I’m addressing. It’s straightforward: if you can live on R2 310 per month in today’s purchasing power, then you don’t need to read any further, because you are ready to retire today. This is the amount the government can pay you if you’re older than 60 (it increases to R2 330 per month if you’re older than 75).

“Hier is ’n fantastiese geleentheid!” Sodra ’n mens hierdie woorde hoor, spits jy jou ore dadelik. Ons is altyd oop vir ’n winskoop of ’n geleentheid waaruit jy voordeel kan trek. Ons blaai graag deur winkelblaadjies met spesiale aanbiedings op soek na die beste kopie. Daar is niks hiermee verkeerd nie en dit is ook reg indien ons uit ’n finansiële, begrotings- en kontantvloei-oogpunt daarna kyk.

Finansiële adviseurs loop hulle dikwels in die term ‘koste’ vas. Dit is ook as gevolg van koste dat die finansiële bedryf al ’n negatiewe reputasie opgebou het, wat verklaar waarom ons dikwels met die term gekonfronteer word. Ons weet sommige adviseurs jaag dikwels net fooie na met advies as ’n bysaak. Koste moet binne perke en regverdig wees. Koste moet jou nie ten koste van goeie advies op die ou end meer uit die sak jaag nie.

Wat sou gebeur as ons môre se koerant vandag kon lees? Hoe sou ons ons beleggings benader indien ons sou weet wat die uitkomste van ons besluite vir die toekoms sou wees? Natuurlik sou ons meer beheer, gemoedsrus en sekerheid oor ons welvaart gehad het.
