Today on You and Your Money, Bryan Hirsch focuses on HEALTH CARE. The news this week is about the troubles with the medical scheme Health Squared. Some years ago, medical aids were forced to have a 25% solvency ratio and from press reports it appears that Health Squared solvency ratio has deteriorated from 6% to 2.15%. The trouble for the 23000 beneficiary memberships on the scheme, is where they are going to find additional cover. However, although the Council for Medical Schemes are in talks with the country’s biggest medical schemes to take on these members, it appears that many are reluctant to take on older and ailing members.
Joining Bryan to try and make sense of what is happening in the medical aid industry is Clayton Samsodien, Group CEO of Phoenix FSG.

One of the main purposes for efficient estate planning, is to ensure that wealth passes down from one generation to the next. At the same time, correct planning is to safeguard wealth in such a way that it continues to work for the beneficiaries. It is the plans laid out whilst one is still alive. If you simply leave assets in a will to the next generation, then it is up to them to make good the investment process. Joining Bryan Hirsch for this discussion is Harry Joffe, Head of Legal Services of Discovery Life.

Joining me this evening is Henry Biddlecombe, Investment Analyst at Anchor Capital. Good evening Henry, it is lovely to have you on the show.

Most working South Africans are provided by most employers with retirement benefits, as part of a competitive remunerative package. In recent times employers have largely removed themselves from active participation through participating in umbrella funds.

Joining Bryan Hirsch to discuss this in more details is Jason Sharp, CEO, Paramount Life
The cornerstone of an Estate Plan is ensuring that you have a legal and binding updated Will in place to secure your family's future.

This week we are deviating slightly from personal finance to focus on SME's who often struggle on how to raise funds through government incentive programs. Nadia and Zahra Rawjee, Directors of Uzenzele went through this situation of trying to raise funds for a family business and found it to be an impossible task. For this reason, they realised there was a need to understand the options of how to achieve this through institutions such as the Department of Trade and Industry, and the Industrial Development Corporation.
Short term insurance is probably your biggest grudge purchase in your expense budget. The small claims not covered are incredibly irritating but ultimately insurance is to protect against major catastrophes that can destroy your possessions but also cause finanical ruin. Joining Bryan Hirsch this week is Craig Pogir of the Pogir Group to discuss the "need to have insurance" vs. "nice to have insurance
Both investment and risk planning drive financial planning. Too often we have a tendency to put investment planning and risk planning into separate compartments. The last quarter has been quite disturbing for investors, not only have they seen markets fall, but with the rand strengthening, the top rand hedge shares which make up many of the unit trusts have taken an absolute bath. Risk planning is all about protecting you from long term market downturns whilst investment planning is about protecting and growing your wealth. Joining his this week is Brendan Gace, Wealth Manager at Anchor Capital and Darryl Bennett, Wealth Advisor at Sasfin.
In the first quarter of 2018 global markets have been extremely volatile. Up one day and down the next. Fortunately, if you are a long-term investor you are probably not picking this up. However, even long-term investors watch the news daily. This week we await some important announcements. The USA Fed meeting and future interest rate hikes. Then South Africans are waiting to hear what Moody's have to say about our investment ratings, and this announcement is expected on Friday. Joining Bryan Hirsch to make some sense of all of this, is his regular investment guru, Paul Hansen, Director of Retail Investing, Stanlib.
Due to the amount of calls and emails received following last week's programme on this subject, Bryan Hirsch continues to focus on Estate Planning. Last week he discussed with Tony Davey the implications of soft loans to a trust, and the implications of Section 7C. They also touched on the changes to estate duty and donations tax and whether a trust is still a good estate planning tool. This week, Bryan discusses the advantage and disadvantage of trusts. Joining his in studio is Gordon Stuart, Managing Director of Accuro and Harry Joffe, Head of Legal Services of Discovery Life.
Despite many rumours regarding changes to estate duty over the last few years, the only two changes are the introduction of section 7C and the increase in estate duty from 20% to 25% to those who have assets in excess of R30million. To focus primarily on these two issues and to answer many of the emails that have come in with questions on Estate Planning, Bryan Hirsch is joined by Tony Davey from DAVEY VOS TAX.
Clayton Samsodien, Managing Director at Genesis EB Solutions joines Brian Hirsch as they revisits the healthcare industry. The rising cost of health care is a very real issue with government focused on introducing National Health Insurance in the years ahead. In the 2018 budget tax credits that were proposed to fund the NHI were slightly increased but certainly not in line with inflation.
Most working South Africans contribute in some form to retirement savings whether this is through membership of a pension or Provident Fund, retirement annuities, tax-free savings investment, properties and w their vehicles - not enough attention is given to the ultimate sum required to give a financial freedom in retirement. Joining Brian Hirsch on this edition of You and Your Money to talk more about retirement planning is Jason Sharp, CEO of Paramount Life
Brian Hirsch is joined by Paul Hanson, Director of Retail Investing at Stanlib to talk "investments". How things have changed in such a short space of time, four weeks ago they were talking about investments, looking at the markets and Paul made the comment that the market is in its ninth year in the bull market and that it hasn't yet had a correction for a long time, and then in the last ten days up the market started to move downwards at a phenomenal rate. So, the question one's got to ask as investors are panicking - is this the end of the bull market on the start of a bear market or, is this a buying opportunity?
Although estate planning does encompass investment tax and retirement planning, the two critical components that blanket all of this is a valid will and the use of a testament and an inter vivos trust. Joining Bryan Hirsch in studio this week is Gordan Stuart, MD of Accuro and Harry Joffe, Head of legal services at Discovery Life.
Short-term insurance is probably the biggest grudge purchase in your expense budget. The small claims not covered are incredibly irritating, but ultimately insurance is about protecting against the major catastrophes that will not only destroy possessions, but cause you to face financial ruin rather than the minor claims. It is a difficult pill to swallow when you have insurance, and then discover that your cover was insufficient. Joining Bryan Hirsch this week is Craig Pogir, Director of the Pogir Group. Craig, it is lovely to have you on the show again.
