Editor's Thoughts.

Last week was Employee Wellness Week. But it could (should) be said that what we do is employee wellness every week. If I listen to those around me - my friends, my colleagues, my kids and even myself – many are overwhelmed with the amount and speed of information coming at them. So how do we deal with it?

This year’s Sanlam Benchmark Survey talks to the most valued prize for any retiree is a predictable income in retirement that lasts as long as they do. Take a moment to consider where your customer is and what they need in their portfolios to reach their goals – Quantum Leap.

The FSCA has just published their latest regulation plan (on our Publications Podium), which unsurprisingly focuses on outcomes. What’s the point of an incredibly sophisticated financial system where many are still unable to retire with dignity?

But most importantly, give yourself permission to take a moment to learn something new, develop a new perspective or just enjoy a cup of your favourite coffee – while watching today’s episode of Living Markets with Liberty.
