How Can The Market Be Cheap If It Is At An All-Time High?

13/3/2023

0 Comments

 
During 2022, we saw significant movements in global markets, from both an equity and fixed income perspective. Risk-off, fear and uncertainty were the order of the day. On the local side, markets held up relatively well in comparison and it left local investors puzzled. Weak growth, a record amount of loadshedding, high interest rates and an uncertain global backdrop are all factors that should send investors running for the hills, but local seems to remain lekker.

Year-to-date, there has been a healthy rebound in asset prices as inflation numbers are starting to ease, China is reopening and Europe seems to be more resilient than what the market initially expected. The JSE All Share Index reached an all-time high in January 2023, despite the uncertainties our market currently faces. How is that possible you may ask?

South Africa Greylisted

7/3/2023

0 Comments

 
On Friday 24 February, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) announced its decision to greylist South Africa. The decision has had both a reputational as well as economic impact on the country. With this said, the true impact of the news will only be revealed with time.

Background

In October 2021, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), a global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog, identified key weaknesses in some of South Africa’s financial regulations. South Africa was subsequently allowed to address these weaknesses and report back to the FATF as to how these weaknesses would be addressed (within roughly 12 months).

Finance minister Enoch Godongwana delivered his national budget speech on 22 February 2023 and it was received with many mixed reactions. According to Godongwana, since the 2022 budget, global growth estimates for 2023 have been revised lower. “The International Monetary Fund projects global growth to slow from an estimated 3.4% in 2022 to 2.9% in 2023,” said the minister.

“Global economic risks remain high, including those related to the ongoing war in Ukraine, and could impede growth if they materialise.”

Overall, the 2023 Budget allocates additional funding totalling R227 billion over the medium term.

He said that government debt is very high, with gross debt stock projected to increase from R4.73 trillion in 2022/23 to R5.84 trillion in 2025/26.

The need to prepare financially for funerals is one of the major drivers of insurance in South Africa. This has resulted in a highly accessed market with a number of providers across the industry. With policyholders demonstrating significant differences in mortality risk, combined with minimal underwriting, large cross subsidies are inherent in the market today and present a clear opportunity for disruption. 

Discovery Funeral Plan 2.0
Discovery now brings you a unique policy that not only covers these costs ,but also provides additional value through discounts and premiums back in cash.

The Scheme’s clinical entry criteria, treatment guidelines and protocols apply. The normal claims process applies. Discovery will automatically pay this from your WELLTH Fund.

FAQ
  1. Why is my WELLTH Fund not yet active?
Your WELLTH Fund is not yet active due to one or more of these reasons:
  • You or some of the dependents (aged two and older) on your policy have not completed a Health Check in the last 12 months.
  • Your healthcare provider has not yet submitted the Health Check to Discovery.
    2. Does the WELLTH Fund cover Medical devices?
Yes, the WELLTH Fund covers the following specific medical devices if they have a registered NAPPI code and are bought from a registered healthcare provider with a valid practice number (such as a pharmacy or doctor):
  • Blood pressure monitors
  • Glucometers
  • Cholesterol monitors
  • Peak flow meters
  • Spirometers
   3. Must I use network providers to be covered by the WELLTH Fund?
It depends on which health plan you have.

  • Members on Smart plans must use a Smart network GP for GP services covered by the WELLTH Fund.
  • Members on KeyCare plans must use their allocated GP for GP services covered by the WELLTH Fund.
  • Members on Smart plans must use an optometrist in the Smart plan network. Members on KeyCare plans must use optometrists and dentists in the KeyCare plan network.

   4. The WELLTH Fund tool has recommended a list of check-ups that I should go for, am I only covered for these check-ups? No, the WELLTH Fund Tool is just a guide for which screening check-ups are most suitable for you, based on your age and gender.

   5. Can I claim for medication from the WELLTH Fund? No, you cannot claim any medication from the WELLTH Fund.

  • To book an appointment for a Health Check so you can unlock your WELLTH Fund, use the booking option on your WELLTH Fund dashboard.
  • To book an appointment for any of the screening and preventative check-ups covered by the WELLTH Fund, use the "Find a Provider" functionality on the Discovery website or app.
  • You can also use the WELLTH Fund Tool to guide you on which check-ups are recommended for you, based on your age and gender. From the recommended check-ups, you can then book an appointment with a healthcare provider near you.
