A practical review of the agenda pack for the 3 June 2026 Management Committee meeting. The emphasis is on what to ask as trustee: member outcomes, governance evidence, admin controls, investment performance, and regulatory readiness.
| Area | Pack value | Trustee interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Quarter investment movement | -R10.907m total market movement; March investment update -R23.688m | Q1 experience was negative despite 12-month growth. Ask for market attribution and member-facing explanation. |
| Member credits vs net assets | Member credits R434.262m; net assets R441.138m; diff R6.877m / 1.58% | Not necessarily wrong, but it requires a reconciliation bridge trustees can understand. |
| Fees | Q1 expenditure R1.812m, including investment management R642.7k, consulting R552.8k, administration R366.8k | Ask whether fee disclosures to members are clear and whether value-for-money is benchmarked. |
| Two-pot processing | 496 total withdrawals, 492 paid; average paid processing 3.4 days; unpaid average wait 88 days | Operationally good for paid claims; unpaid exceptions need ageing, owners, and resolution dates. |
| Portfolio | 3m | 6m | 1y | 3y | 5y |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aggressive | -3.02% | 0.67% | 16.57% | 13.12% | 11.05% |
| Moderate | -3.00% | 0.11% | 13.42% | 12.70% | 10.76% |
| Benchmark | -1.64% | 3.10% | 16.47% | 12.63% | 10.83% |
| PSGW Moderate FoF | -0.94% | 2.60% | 17.14% | 13.37% | 12.10% |
Aggressive is 37.59% SA equity, 31.40% offshore equity, 25.27% SA low risk, 5.74% offshore low risk. Moderate is 31.45% SA equity, 23.55% offshore equity, 36.60% SA low risk, 8.40% offshore low risk. Conservative is heavily low-risk at 51% SA low risk plus 10% offshore low risk, with 34% SA equity and 5% offshore equity.
64 carried forward: 60 withdrawals, 2 retirements, 2 death claims. Death claims are noted as awaiting further information and aged 12–24 months.
Contributions appear compliant. Still ask why January reconciliation is dated 27 Jan while the contribution receipt is 6 Feb, and whether the sequence/timing is correctly labelled.
Net assets are R441.138m vs investment market value R444.405m. Benefits payable are R18.802m; contributions receivable R5.718m; cash R10.129m. Ask for the full reconciliation.
The Webber Wentzel note says COFI is expected to shift market-conduct regulation, affect retirement funds and financial-services activities, and require proactive alignment of governance, TCF, fit-and-proper, operational capability, reporting, records, audit, transformation and licensing/activity mapping.
Trustee ask: request a one-page COFI readiness tracker at the next meeting, with owners and dates. The pack currently includes awareness material, but not a fund-specific readiness plan.
