Metropolitan Retirement Administrators Metropolitan Park, Phase A, 8 Hillside Road, Parktown, Johannesburg Tel: +27 (0)11 587 8200 / 8000 Email: fundqueries@metra.co.za www.metra.co.za We invest to ensure that trustees fulfil their mandates and fiduciary duties. Research conducted by Metropolitan Retirement Administrators (MRA) shows that more than two-thirds of all possible risks facing a retirement fund are out of the trustee’s hands and lie with service providers. We at MRA are acutely aware that most of those risks relate to administration. Any risk to a retirement fund could have a direct impact on members’ replacement ratios and thus we have worked tirelessly to address those risks from our side. After becoming the first retirement administrator in SA to successfully complete an ISAE 3 000, MRA recently became one of the first administrators in the world to successfully complete the ISAE 3402 review. Through our various technological investments, which have largely lead to us achieving the latter, we’re able to ensure that trustees fulfil their mandates and fiduciary duties in light of the tougher regulation regime.

MRA Benchmark Administration platform truly sets the benchmark in retirement fund administration. In 2007 Metropolitan Retirement Administrators launched SA’s first fully-locally developed retirement administration platform that is not only SA’s leading platform by capability but can also reduce the cost of administration and compliance. The Benchmark Retirement Administration platform truly sets the benchmark in administration solutions for large and mega funds in South Africa’s retirement industry. While technology gives trustees access to crucial fund information in real time at a click of a button, our locally developed platform is designed to seamlessly incorporate and comply with local pension fund regulation. Giving trustees access to information in real time allows them to review and make the right decisions about managing members’ funds, ultimately to the benefit of the members.

Technology also ensures that members remain at the heart of what we do. Through our highly automated administration platform, benefit payments, claims and queries are addressed and resolved in rapid time. This is due to numerous technological innovations like intelligent forms and optical character recognition software that allows us to catalogue and access all information relevant from day one and execute orders almost immediately. Getting things right the first time is key to what we do and crucial for keeping retirement fund costs down.

The new Companies Act has brought about various new challenges for companies under financial pressure and in distress. At Independent Trustees we have the expertise and experience to assist businesses with restructuring their affairs, in order to navigate through the challenges they’re presented with. We call it Corporate Recovery Advisory. Contact us for more information or to schedule a consultation. +27 (21) 880 5400 | hansk@corprecover.co.za +27 (11) 991 5500 | dawiev@corprecover.co.za www.corprecover.co.za
Businesses in financial distress have for many years been unable to establish a platform from which to negotiate with their creditors. This made it difficult for businesses to restructure their affairs because there was no way to create a moratorium of legal actions against them pending the formulation of a rescue plan to submit to their creditors. Fortunately this has now changed! The Companies Act 71 of 2008 came into Law on 1st May 2011 and has presented many opportunities for companies in distress to create better outcomes by restructuring their affairs by way of the business rescue. We are able to assist companies to rescue their businesses. Even those who wish to wind up their affairs but who are loath to be subjected to the undue delay in formal processes have alternatives that we are able to assist with! Our professional staff, with collective experience of over 60 years, regularly assists financially distressed businesses and individuals in exploring business rescue and turnaround strategies. Despite the past challenges in saving businesses under the previous legal environment we have in the past succeeded in many instances. We have been able to “rescue� a major retail chain, have restructured the affairs of many companies without them closing their doors and have successfully been able to assist businesses to provide a better return for their creditors than in an immediate liquidation. Our international network with restructuring and insolvency professionals from all over the world enables us to be at the forefront of the latest trends in restructuring businesses’ financial affairs. We attend regular conferences on this topic all over the world and Hans Klopper and Dawie van der Merwe recently attended the INSOL conference in Singapore and our contribution at the international forums is to promote the efficiency of South African business rescue Laws.

This competitive advantage allows us access to a number of courts in the country. We at Coombe and Associates Incorporated believe debts should be paid, not only as a matter of principle, but also as a pillar of healthy commerce. When debtors abuse the system by failing to repay loans and by hiding assets, creditors are unfairly punished. At the same time, as illustrated in the process below, we regard the reinstatement of the debtor’s credit-worthiness as equally important.

Time management may be aided by a range of skills, tools and techniques used to manage time when accomplishing specific, tasks, projects and goals. Time management is compulsory in any project development in both the business and personal arenas. It determines the project completion time and scope. In recent years many authors have discussed time management and set out a guideline of the steps involved to achieve maximum productivity by being able to manage your time responsibly. • Get organised • Protect your time • Set gravitational goals • Stay focused on your goals • Prioritise – this is key to staying on track and will allow you to measure your progress. Perform tasks in order ranging from the most urgent to the least. • Get more out of your time by utilising whatever tools are available to get you to achieve your goal • Break down tasks into simple achievable goals •
Task lists are great – do not however fall into the rut of writing endless lists that take up more time than necessary. For all its worth this is actually a huge waste of time.
• Drop unimportant tasks – if it is not important don’t waste time and energy on it Get into a routine of planning your work and your day. Start your day at least 15 minutes early to sit down and plan. Planning ahead and being aware of deadlines and expectations alleviate unnecessary stressful situations. Have you ever noticed how some people always seem to be so busy yet cannot show much results for their efforts? Monitor your time well and plan to succeed. “Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.” Paul J. Meyer

“The workforce is everything” ... Employees essentially drive output and it is them that differentiate one enterprise from another ... ... Human Capital therefore holds the key to any enterprise’s success or failure... the so-called “profit lever” ... ... Managing this “profit lever” effectively is vital to business performance ...
80% of the impact of poor productivity is unseen. Optimal business performance demands input cost minimization and output benefit maximization. Human capital is an essential input cost that presents unavoidable but manageable threats to company productivity and concomitant financial performance. Soma Initiative (Pty) Ltd, as market leaders in Absentee, Disability and Productivity Management, advocates that a company’s workforce is the key element of its success and prosperity and that management of the employee is undoubtedly and unequivocally the ultimate value driver ... As an expert and professional Health Risk Manager with in excess of 25 years’ experience, Soma Initiative (Pty) Ltd is a Level 2 BBBEE contributor with nationally distributed offices and in excess of 40 professionally qualified staff. The company operates in both the Public and Private sectors being an appointed Health Risk Manager to the South African Government at both National and Provincial level having built its business and national reputation on a simple yet essential principle: top services backed by top knowledge, expertise and technology.

With this in mind we created a business aimed at targeting these niche areas within these sectors, then on a client to client basis offer a solution to that specific client’s needs. Each client within our business is treated as a new business and their solutions are tailor-made to them. The staffing, resources and solutions are implemented and run on its own, never crossing over any other client. We are a contract logistics company. We will find a solution and then implement, run and seamlessly perform as your logistics arm. • Speed X, same day deliveries • Same day direct loads • Special projects, promotions and roll-outs • Specialised vehicles • Closed distribution solutions • Over border deliveries • Dedicated line haul • Dedicated fleet solutions

Evergreen Financial Consultants
Evergreen Financial Consultants provide management support and business advisory services to financially distressed and underperforming businesses. With the advent of Chapter 6 in the new Companies Act No. 71 of 2008, Companies and CC’s experiencing financial distress have an alternative remedy to liquidation – Business Rescue. Business Rescue provides a platform for the rehabilitation of viable businesses through the appointment of a Business Rescue Practitioner (“BRP”). The BRP prepares and presents a plan to affected parties which demonstrates a better return to creditors as compared to liquidation. This plan is then voted upon. Evergreen Financial Consultants are able to take BRP appointments and advise companies regarding business rescue and the alternatives available to ensure effective turnaround and restoration of profitability.
