Read more: https://www.kananwealth.co.za/death-and-capital-gains-taxes-dont-get-caught-out/

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is not a flashy, Ferrari-driving, Gucci-wearing kind of tax. Instead, it quietly goes about its business in the background, day in and day out. This doesn’t make it any less consequential.

Many estates that appear financially secure can come under unexpected pressure from Capital Gains Tax at death. The good news is that there are several relief mechanisms within the tax system that, with careful planning, can meaningfully reduce this impact.

Estate planning in South Africa has followed a well-trodden path: we draft a will, appoint an executor, and ensure our physical assets – the house, the car, the Krugerrands – are accounted for.

However, in an era where our lives are increasingly hosted in the cloud, a significant portion of our estates is becoming invisible. Without a “digital will” or a comprehensive folder, your heirs may find themselves locked out of your financial,
sentimental, and professional life.

We spend our whole lives planning for retirement. While nurturing our nest egg, we worry about short-term risks. Things like
wars, elections, interest rates, leaking roofs and tax breaks.

us don’t pay enough attention to longevity when planning for retirement. Read on for some tips on how to have a long and
happy retirement.

For over a decade, the best you could say about South African markets was that there was a lot of unrealised potential. At worst, there was a sense of structural decay.

What could a childhood board game possibly have to do with investment advice? Quite a lot, it turns out.

Uncertainty has always been a feature of human history. But in recent years, the volatility has ramped up several notches.

Retirement has long been seen as a binary switch: you worked until 60 or 65, and then shuffled off to live off your pension.

But so much has changed. Economic shifts, increased longevity, and the “fractionalisation” of the workplace have birthed a new era: The “grey zone”. In this article, we explore why it’s time to look at retirement in a completely different way.

Market Update: The Investor Costs of Living with Unending Tariff Uncertainty

On so-called Liberation Day last year, investors got a taste of the uncertainty to come from Trump’s on-again, off-again tariff decisions.

In February, the landmark Supreme Court ruling reining in the US President’s tariff powers was initially greeted with excitement. But Trump swiftly announced a global 10% tariff, before upping it to 15%. This highlights the nature of the perma-crisis we are living through: it's the relentless uncertainty, not the tariffs themselves, that inflicts the most serious damage. Find out what that means for investors.
