  • The Missing Link in Retirement Planning? with Emile van der Spuy & Wouter de Witt
    Sep 27 2025

    Send us a text

    This week on PROpulsion LIVE, Francois sits down with Wouter de Witt and Emile van der Spuy, Certified Financial Planners® and co-founders of Gravitas Tax.

    With over 25 years of combined experience in retirement and tax planning, they’ve seen one thing repeatedly: advisers who ignore tax are leaving value on the table. That’s why they built Gravitas Tax, a powerful tool that gives advisers tax directive simulations to create clarity, confidence, and better outcomes for clients.

    We’ll explore why tax directive simulations are becoming essential, how they work in practice, and what they mean for the future of holistic financial planning.

  • Exploring the Fine Print of Living Annuities with Lize de la Harpe
    Sep 13 2025

    Send us a text

    Living annuities are one of the most popular retirement income products in South Africa – but they come with strict rules that are often misunderstood.

    In this episode of PROpulsion LIVE, we sit down with Lize de la Harpe, Senior Legal Advisor at Sanlam Corporate, to explore what you can and can’t do with a living annuity. From income drawdowns and commutation rules to divorce settlements and beneficiary nominations, Lize unpacks the complexities in plain language and clears up common misconceptions.

    This is a must-watch for financial advisers and planners who want to give their clients the right guidance when it matters most.

    📌 What we cover:

    👉 How income drawdowns really work (and why they can only be changed once a year)

    👉 The conditions under which a living annuity can be commuted

    👉 Why the capital can’t be claimed in divorce proceedings

    👉 The impact of the Montanari judgment and recent PFA amendments

    👉 What advisers should know about beneficiary nominations

    Join us as we explore the fine print behind one of the most important retirement planning tools.
