Editor’s Thoughts.

Yesterday PwC released their 8^th edition of their Retirement Funds Survey. In her article, Julanie Basson shares the highlights – from trends on trustee remuneration, members’ two-pot behaviour and where funds are on cybersecurity. You can find the full survey on our Publications Podium here.

Also in today’s news is a stern ruling from the Pension Funds Adjudicator against an administrator for delays in payment to a member. You can go read the details in the article, but at the risk of a spoiler alert, we’re definitely seeing the principles of COFI and TCF coming through in not only holding service providers accountable to their SLAs but in treating members and investors fairly and with care.

On the topic of care: This morning we’ve dropped the latest episode of Heatwave Horizons, sponsored by Sanlam. What can we do about climate change? And how do we use the ASSA Climate Index to guide thinking? Leon chats to the experts about the practical steps we can take – as individuals, households and stewards of assets. One of our aims at EBnet is to create a space for collaboration in the savings industry in SA. And this conversation is one of those sharing moments of unpacking who believes what (is climate change even real? and is the S not more important than the E?) and exploring how we collectively steer this ship away from the iceberg in front of us.

And you’ll think twice before getting AI to generate that cartoon of you after reading the article from ENS.
