INVESTMENT PLANNING

When looking at investing, you need to understand the difference between compulsory and discretionary investments. Compulsory investments means that you would be savings money monthly or via lump sums through either a retirement annuity, pension fund or provident fund. Once the money goes into your chosen vehicle you will not be able to access these funds. Discretionary investments are flexible investments where you can withdraw or add capital at any time depending on the investment vehicle chosen.
