Election Promises vs. Retirement Realities: What to Know

Honest Money

In this episode, Warren Ingram explores the topic of prescribed assets and their potential effects on retirement funds. He delves into their historical context during the apartheid era and clarifies that the ANC's manifesto is distinct from official policy, recommending that investors hold off on modifying their retirement strategies until concrete government policies are announced.
Takeaways

• Prescribed assets refer to the concept of forcing retirement funds to invest in specific government bonds or projects.
• The ANC election manifesto is not government policy, and it is important to wait and see how things unfold before making investment decisions.
• Consultation with unions and Treasury will play a significant role in determining the implementation of prescribed assets.
• Bankable projects, which generate returns and are well-managed, are more likely to be pursued as public-private partnerships rather than through prescribed assets.
