Navigating rate risks; Global insights for SA’s Two-pot retirement reform

The Money Show

Stephen Grootes speaks to Izak Odendaal, Investment Strategist at Old Mutual, about the uncertainty hanging over interest rates, as drama at the US Federal Reserve turns unusually political and unpredictable - with President Trump’s attempted firing of Governor Lisa Cook, a court ruling keeping her in place, and rushed Senate confirmations leaving markets guessing about the Fed’s next move.

In other interviews, Mike Adsetts, Global Chief Investment Officer at Momentum Investments, discusses about the lessons South Africa can draw from global experience as the Two-Pot retirement system marks its first year. From Australia’s disciplined superannuation model to Chile’s cautionary tale of privatisation, Adsetts highlights the importance of sound investment strategy, careful withdrawals, and professional advice to balance short-term access with long-term retirement security.
