In partnership with Morningstar: Just as we thought Covid-19 was behind us, 2022 bombarded us with an array of new curve balls. From the war in Ukraine, inflation last seen in the 70s, rising interest rates and global markets experiencing drawdowns that rank as one of the worst on record, investors had very little (if any) place to hide.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! In partnership with Morningstar: A sad, but harsh reality is that only 6% of South Africans can retire comfortably. “Comfortably” means that an investor retires earning 75% of their final salary in retirement, from the investments and savings put in place before their retirement. More often than not, investors only contribute the minimum percentage of their income to their retirement funding, wrongfully believing that this will provide them with an adequate amount with which to sustain their income during their retirement years. The following article considers not only the importance of saving but why doing so from an early age is so imperative. Click here to read more. Did you know that South Africa ranks in the top three countries in the world for deaths and injuries by lightning strike? Or that at least 100 South Africans are killed by lightning a year? Lightning is a standard insured peril in personal lines insurance policies, and surge protection – against lightning strikes and electrical surges, both of which can cause extensive damage to homes and their contents – is a preferred way to avoid unnecessary losses and insurance claims. But while installing a surge protection device in your home is ideal for avoiding damage to your property, and even possible injury to you when you’re at home, it won’t safeguard you when you’re out and about. Like most types of accidents, lightning strikes are largely unforeseen. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be prepared for the day they happen; there are simple, practical steps that you can take to avoid becoming a lightning strike statistic. What to do
The best place to be during a thunderstorm is inside a building. It’s best to stay away from windows and metal – and also not to use electronic equipment, telephones (even cellphones) and appliances, as well as not bathe or shower, especially if the house is not fitted with a surge protection device. If you cannot get inside a building, your next best option is a car, which acts like a Faraday cage (the discharge stays on the outside of the vehicle). It’s better if the car is stationary, because blinding flashes can lead to accidents. If you’re in the open, such as in a field or on a golf course, crouch, put your feet closely together, wrap your arms around your legs and keep your head down. Don’t lie flat – the current from a nearby strike will spread out along the ground, and through you. Importantly, put at least 3m of space between you and other people, as well as anything you’re carrying. Likewise, be at least 3m from bicycles, trees, poles, masts, fence posts and metal fences. If you’re in a boat or swimming, get to land as soon as possible. If in a boat, crouch down and avoid touching the rigging or anything metal. What won’t protect you
