Identity-based financial goals

Who are you? Who do you want to become? Identity-based financial goals are more powerful than you think. “The goal is not to read a book. The goal is to become a reader,” writes James Clear in his bestseller, Atomic Habits. When it comes to financial planning, we can learn much from this brief nugget […]

Behavioural Economics 101

Why don’t we always do what’s “best” with our money? Let’s be honest: most of us already know what we’re “supposed” to do with our money. But we don’t do it. Spend less than we earn. Save consistently. Invest for the long term. Avoid unnecessary debt. So why don’t we always do it? Why do […]

Cross-cultural connection in financial planning

You have a lens, and here’s why it matters… Financial planning is often seen as a numbers game, retirement goals, investment returns, tax efficiency. But beneath the spreadsheets lies something far more personal: our stories, values, and lived experiences. And that’s where things get interesting. As financial planners, we work with individuals and families from […]

Cost isn’t just what you pay

The true cost of a dollar, Rand or pound (or whatever you’re earning in) is not just what you earn. It’s what you give up to earn it. On paper, your salary might seem straightforward. $75,000 a year. £5,000 a month. R250 an hour. But those figures don’t tell the full story. What if the […]

An overlooked planning tool?

Meaning starts with hope, and hope begins with action. Many of the challenges we face today, such as financial stress, burnout, and indecision, don’t just come from a lack of time or money. They can very often stem from something deeper: a subtle loss of meaning. We don’t intend to lose meaning in what we’re […]

Dream big, plan better, live fully

Financial freedom quickly become reduced to a number, a target income, a certain lifestyle, or a retirement account that signals “you’ve made it.” But in reality, it’s more nuanced than that. It’s not just about what you have, it’s about how you feel. It’s about the sense of control, clarity, and calm that comes from […]

When your body says no

(Inspired by Gabor Mate’s book: When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress) Learning to listen to your intuition in money matters, matters. Have you ever agreed to something that felt wrong in your gut, only to regret it later? Maybe it was spending more than you intended, investing in something you didn’t […]

Guided or manipulated?

Good advice has always been about helping people make wise choices. But in the age of behavioural finance, there’s a new layer to consider: how we help people make those choices. Enter the concept of “nudging.” A nudge is a subtle prompt designed to steer someone toward a better decision, without removing their freedom to […]

Engaging with your financial plan

Financial planning, like therapy or coaching, isn’t just about solving a problem. It’s about holding a safe space where real change can happen. That space might be a spreadsheet, a conversation, or a long-term plan, but for the work to go deep and stick, it must feel grounded, steady, and secure. As clinical psychologist Jonathan […]

What is fear costing you?

Most of us like to think we’re being practical with our money. We weigh up the risks, run the numbers, and avoid decisions that feel too uncertain. But here’s a thought: what if what we call “practical” is sometimes just fear in disguise? It’s easy to equate safety with staying put. Leaving your money in […]

Disability & Income Protection

Most households in today’s economy rely on more than one income to keep the household expenses under check, very few are able to survive on one income alone. If you were injured or disabled in some way and could no longer work, would your family be able to cope without your income?

Life Cover

You pay tax every month to the state, but what are you paying to provide for those that you love and care about after you have gone? Life cover should not be seen as a grudge purchase but rather as an investment into the future of your spouse and children. You work hard to provide for them now, that shouldn’t have to change in the future.

Estate Planning

Estate planning is not only for the mega-rich. If you have assets, investment policies, risk cover and more than one potential beneficiary, then I can assist you with the planning of your estate and how it will be allocated when you pass away. An estate that is left open can cause a difficult time to be even harder for those who are left behind. Often there is more work needed on a R3m estate than on one that is worth R20m!

Critical Illness

These products are also known as Dread Disease Cover. Advances in medical care mean that more people can now survive illnesses once thought to be fatal. However, although many individuals lead relatively normal lives, they no longer enjoy the same mobility or good health. The best medical treatment can cost you and your diminished ability to work could force you to make severe lifestyle changes.

Retrenchment Benefit

Have you thought about what you and your family will do if you are retrenched? If it hasn’t happened to you, you probably know someone who’s been retrenched. In these tough economic times, it’s one of the most understandable fears. You want to be protected if you’re faced with retrenchment or liquidation.

ARE YOU SAVING ENOUGH?

How healthy is your financial plan when it comes to saving and provisioning funds for the future? Digital technology and our diverse economic systems and policies have increased our options both for investment and for risk protection. This is an arena that is constantly changing, growing rapidly and needs to be monitored regularly – which is one reason for having your own financial planner!

WHO DO YOU CHOOSE?

If you have never worked with a financial advisor before, you may find yourself overwhelmed by the choice, confused by the jargon and frustrated at the cost! But in the same way you wouldn't service your own car, it's good to have someone you trust to advise and guide you to make healthy decisions about your wealth.

CREATE WINNING STRATEGIES

Aside from being an expert in the money game and having a keen sense of the conditions and lay of the financial landscape, winning strategies are born inside of a relationship of trust, mutual understanding and a commitment to strive for the same goals. Your financial advisor should bring you peace-of-mind and help you maintain control of your finances.

Soundvest provided excellent personalised service and ensured my finances were optimised as much as possible whilst also helping me understand why the moves they recommended would benefit me. The Soundvest team are fully involved with my whole family and may as well be an adopted part of it. They are always seeking to not only learn more but improve and make sure your investments and policies are the best they can possibly be.
