Welcome to the Age of Confidence

Last updated on 25th February, 2025 at 02:56 pm

We are on a mission to make retirement at 65 a reality for all.

Did you know that for many South Africans, retiring between the age of 60 and 65 is unrealistic? The reality is that most of us will have to continue working well into our golden years to make ends meet.

Since the Two-pot system launched in September 2024, we’ve processed over 158 000 Emergency Savings Pot withdrawals, totalling more than R2 billion – money that could’ve been saved towards a more comfortable retirement.

Some of the top minds at Sanlam Corporate have done the research, crunched the numbers and dug deep to understand the factors that contribute to our retirement readiness – and what they found is shocking.

No-one wants to find themselves in the impossible position of job-hunting in their 70s. But the good news is that we can all do something about it now.

The Age of Confidence

As we kick off an exciting new year, we have an opportunity to reset and refocus our retirement savings plans and invest in our peace of mind for a future filled with confidence. This is our mission. We’re calling it the Age of Confidence.

Start the conversation with a Sanlam expert here to find a retirement product that is best for your age, salary and lifestyle needs.

No retirement plan is complete without taking care of your health and well-being. This is why, as a member of the Sanlam Umbrella Fund, you have access to Virtual Doctor, an online platform that gives you FREE virtual consultations with a nurse, GP, or psychologist directly via the Sanlam Portfolio App or Sanlam Member Portal.
