Beneficiary nomination forms may look like simple administrative documents, but they can carry significant estate planning consequences.

They can influence how quickly your loved ones receive money after your death, whether certain assets fall into your estate, whether executor’s fees apply, how taxes are calculated, and whether your intentions are carried out as planned.

They should also not be viewed in isolation. Your will, life policies, retirement funds, living annuities, business assurance policies, discretionary investments and family circumstances all need to work together.

If your beneficiary nominations have not been reviewed since you first completed them, now may be a good time to revisit them.

Family wealth is not preserved by structures alone. Wills, trusts, shareholder agreements and tax plans can transfer assets, but they cannot transfer discipline, gratitude, judgement or purpose. These qualities need to be developed intentionally over time.

In Hannah Myburgh, CFP®'s latest article, she explores why successful wealth transfer depends not only on sound estate planning, but on preparing the next generation to become responsible stewards of family wealth. From constructive family conversations and financial education to family charters, trust literacy, business succession and the difficult distinction between fairness and equality, she unpacks the human work that needs to happen alongside the legal and financial planning.

Because assets can be inherited overnight, but stewardship is built over time.

One of the greatest advantages an investor can have is not necessarily higher returns or larger contributions, but time.

Compounding quietly rewards those who start early, stay consistent and remain invested. The challenge is that its benefits are often underestimated in the early years, when progress feels slow and other priorities compete for attention.

In this article, we explore why starting to invest early can shape your entire financial future, why “catching up later” is harder than many expect, and why even small contributions in your twenties can make a meaningful long-term difference.

For many unemployed young people in Langa, the challenge is not a lack of ambition. It is a lack of access to the right training and support.

That is why Just Grace’s Phakama! Youth Activation Programme was created: to help unemployed youth build practical skills, confidence, and work readiness.

Participants in the sewing stream learn practical sewing skills, while also building the ability to see new possibilities for their future.

Nokutula’s story is a testament to that impact.

When she joined the programme in 2023, she had been unemployed for six years after completing matric in 2017. Through the sewing stream, she developed into a skilled seamstress and gained the confidence to take the next step.

After completing the programme, Nokutula was supported into a one-year learnership at Rowdy Bags, where she gained hands-on experience in bag making and quality craftsmanship.

But her journey did not stop there. Inspired by what she had learned, Nokutula bought her own sewing machine and began creating cosmetic bags to sell in her community.

This Mandela Month, Just Grace and Crue Invest are raising R50,000 to fund training opportunities for four unemployed young people in Langa through Just Grace’s barista and sewing programmes.

Help us create more stories like Nokutula’s.

July is National Savings Month in South Africa, but the conversation around saving is often reduced to something too simplistic: spend less, build an emergency fund, and start early.

While all of that matters, saving plays a much more strategic role in a well-constructed financial plan. Saving is not the opposite of investing. It is what makes investing possible.

Good saving is not about hoarding cash or being fearful of spending says Alex Odendaal, CFP® in this latest Moneyweb article - it is about creating the discipline, liquidity and optionality to make better financial decisions over time.

Financial independence is often framed as a personal goal – something that gives us freedom, dignity and choice. But there is another side to it that is less often spoken about: financial independence is also a social responsibility.

When we fail to plan properly, the consequences do not simply disappear. They are often absorbed by those closest to us – a spouse, adult children, siblings, parents or extended family members who may already be managing their own financial pressures.

Good financial planning is therefore not only about accumulating wealth. It is about reducing the likelihood that your future circumstances become someone else’s burden.

Wealth creation is seldom built on one grand financial decision. More often, it is the result of small, consistent, well-considered choices repeated over many years.

In Erin White's latest article, she explores 12 practical principles for creating and preserving wealth, from protecting your financial independence and automating good financial behaviour, to avoiding lifestyle creep, understanding the purpose of every asset you own, and spending deliberately.

The truth is that sustainable wealth is not necessarily created by the highest earners, but by those who understand the relationship between behaviour, time, compounding, risk and choice.

Visible consumption can easily be mistaken for financial success, but genuine wealth is generally found beneath the surface. In this article, we explore why intentional spending, manageable debt, consistent investing and the freedom to live according to your values are more meaningful measures of financial wellbeing than outward displays of affluence.

Before choosing an investment fund, product or platform, investors should first define the purpose of the money, the required time horizon, liquidity needs, tax implications and appropriate level of risk.

Asking the right questions creates a more considered strategy and improves the likelihood of remaining invested when markets become uncomfortable, says Hannah Myburgh, CFP® talking to Moneyweb:
