National Pensions (Amendment) Law, 2020

June 18, 2020

•

Before we move on:

•

Important to emphasize this is an emergency measure.

•

We agree with the Premier’s view that spending pension funds should only be an emergency measure if there are no other options.

•

Our focus here is on persons who have withdrawn funds and are/will be in the fortunate position of not having to spend them.

Time in the Market, not Timing the Market •

Investors who want to time the market have to make two correct decisions to be successful: • When to get out; i.e. timing the sell to as close to the peak of the market as possible.

• When to get back in; i.e. putting cash back into the market as close to the lowest point in the market as possible

•

Sounds easy enough?

•

Our experience dealing with clients over the years unfortunately shows us that investors can get this wrong too often, which can be costly on your results.

Have a Plan, Stick to the Plan Creating an Investment Plan •

An investment plan is absolutely key to having the best investment experience and avoiding many of the pitfalls that come with investing.

• The major inputs for an investment plan are: • Your tolerance for risk, • Your ability to take risk, • Important time frames and milestones, • Your financial goals, • Any other important details relevant to your situation.

• Think of your investment plan as a living, breathing document that changes as your life circumstances change.

• Gordon Goss, Investment Advisor, will provide some more insights on planning.
