Saving for emergencies


Because life happens

Most South Africans spend a large portion of their income on debt repayments, making it difficult to save for emergencies.

You ideally need an emergency fund to cover your monthly expenses or savings to the equivalent of 2 to 6 months salary for unforeseen circumstance.

Why save


Saving is always an option

 

Why save for an emergency?


  • To continue servicing your debt and avoid legal repercussion that might affect your family should you lose your income generating ability
  • To avoid over indebtedness and reduce additional debt exposure
  • To provide your family with security in times of emergencies

Things to consider


  • What does your budget allow?
  • Can you save/invest regularly, or do you have a once-off lump sum?
  • Do you understand the different solutions available to you?
  • What guidance do you need to choose the right savings and investments solution for you?
  • What kind of return are you looking for, and what level of risk are you willing to take on your capital investment?
  • How long do you want to save and invest for?

We will advise you on the most appropriate solutions to match your savings and investment objectives and time horizon.
