The pandemic has left many feeling insecure about their financial future and their ability to enjoy their retirement comfortably.

Alexander Forbes says South Africans need to contribute 17% of their income for 40 years to retire comfortably on 75% of their final pensionable salary — a 75% replacement ratio — according to the 2019 Alexander Forbes Member Watch. According to Alexander Forbes Member Watch, only 6% of the total retirement fund membership can expect a replacement ratio above 75% of their pensionable salary.

We speak to Sisandile Cikido, head of retail investments at Nedbank, on how to avoid the potential pitfalls of retirement while maximising your income.
