Numbers That Actually Mean Something
Everyone throws around investment statistics. Portfolio returns, market percentages, compound growth projections. But here's what we've learned after years in the South African investment space: the numbers that really matter aren't always the ones that make headlines. They're the ones that help you understand where your money goes and what it can realistically do for your future.
What Our Community Actually Tracks
We work with people from Johannesburg to Cape Town who want honest clarity about their investments. Not fancy dashboards that confuse more than clarify. Just straightforward tracking of what matters when you're building wealth in South Africa's economy.
These metrics come from real portfolios we've helped structure. They reflect diverse strategies—some conservative for near-retirement folks, others growth-focused for younger investors. The point isn't to show off perfect numbers. It's to give you context for your own journey.
Portfolio Diversification
Local vs International
Fee Awareness
Regular Contributions
Beyond the Basics
Look, you can get generic investment advice anywhere. What you need is perspective shaped by South Africa's unique financial landscape—from tax implications to currency considerations.
Tax-Efficient Structures
South African tax laws reward smart planning. We track how clients optimize contributions across retirement annuities, tax-free savings accounts, and unit trusts. The difference between using these tools well and ignoring them can mean tens of thousands over a decade.
Currency Hedge Reality
Everyone talks about offshore investing, but few explain the practicalities. We measure how much international exposure makes sense for different risk profiles—considering both potential gains and the very real exchange rate volatility that affects South African investors.
Fee Impact Analysis
This one surprises people. We've crunched the numbers on how management fees compound over time. A seemingly small difference between 1% and 2% annual fees can cost you nearly a third of your potential returns over thirty years. Worth understanding, we think.
