Editor’s Thoughts.

Yesterday, EBnet had the privilege of hosting experts from NMG Benefits, Soonder Inc, MIP and the Cyber Security Institute at our latest In the Moment webinar. The topic: Joint Standard 2 of 2024 on cybersecurity and cyber resilience (JS 2 of 2024).

JS 2 of 2024 affects all financial institutions – including retirement funds and their service providers. The conversation unpacked the Joint Standard from all the angles – appreciating that different role players have different imperatives. While the tasks of undergoing training, setting your fund’s policy and framework in place, and then assessing all your service providers, seems overwhelming with 6 weeks to go to the deadline date of 1 June, the experts agree that you may already be further than you think you are. And there is help out there to make sure you’re ready on time.

Find the link to the recording here – whether you’re a Human Capital or investment professional, a trustee, a management committee member, an advisor or an industry service provider – do yourself a favour, grab a cup of coffee and watch this webinar to see how JS 2 of 2024 affects your day-to-day.

Also in today’s news is a great article from Marc Lindley (Ninety One). Earlier this week we looked at how investment volatility impacts pensioners. Marc sets out the financial consequences of the different decisions retirees are faced with during times of market volatility.
