Breaking News

The FSCA has issued warnings to the public on:

Di Lucca Investment (Pty) Ltd, which falsely claims association with African Mining. Di Lucca is not authorised to provide financial services. The public should beware of scams, especially those with exaggerated returns or urgent payment requests, and verify providers with FSCA.

And RNK and NTT Team, which are conducting unauthorised financial services and cryptocurrency trading via social media. These entities are not licensed, have failed to pay clients, and show scam red flags. Verify providers before investing and exercise caution with unsolicited offers.

Editor's Thoughts.

Most retirement funds invest in Sasol shares, which have provided great returns for members over the past year. This puts asset owners in a tough position at today’s AGM: Should Sasol shareholders back the business, challenge its leadership, or both?

Just Share’s Robyn Hugo argues that executive pay needs stronger links to emissions reductions and just transition commitments. She’s not wrong.

On the other hand, strong recent returns matter to retirement savers. They’re not wrong either. (But so do the climate, employment and governance risks that could shape future returns.)

The challenge is assessing both without assuming that either cancels out the other.

Which ESG component wins? Regulation 28 sets no hierarchy. For trustees and asset owners, the challenge isn’t a binary one of choosing climate over returns. It’s assessing how environmental, social and governance risks shape the investment case together.
