Some Thoughts for Retirement

Coronation recently published their Corolab booklet with quite a few interesting articles that are summarized here.

1. Plan for higher inflation:
Over the last 10 years South Africa mostly experienced low inflation. However, we often feel that our personal inflation rates are a lot higher than the published rate (currently 5.3%). The reason for this is because the 5.3% is the average rate across South Africans’ basket of goods, but each individual’s basket is made up differently. E.g. Recreational equipment had a negative inflation rate of 5% for the past 12 months while electricity stands at 18% and private transport (including petrol) at 17%. Inflation of individual sectors ranges between -5% and +18%, which means your own inflation rate is as personal as your own investment strategy.

It is therefore important to look at your inflation rate and how your investment strategy should be developed to incorporate that.

2. The returns from the last decade versus the longer term history:

The graph below shows the annualised real returns of the last decade relative to long term average returns (last 111 years of data).



Clearly, local assets have done extremely well compared to the longer term averages while offshore equities in rand terms have been dismal. However, if you purely use the returns of the last decade as a proxy of what might happen in the future then you could well be disappointed.

Coronation set out their 10 year forecast of the various asset classes. Naturally these returns don’t materialize in linear format but could be lumpy. From the table below it is clear that the returns from local asset classes could be muted despite a bleaker inflation outlook. It is also evident that history might not repeat itself, with future returns most likely coming from offshore assets.



Coronation makes the point that at a 6% inflation rate you probably require nearly 6 times the level of income at the end of say 25 years to be able to buy the same basket of goods.

This makes it important to invest in growth assets that are able to grow faster than inflation over a longer period.

3. Life expectancy:

Finally, the change in life expectancy because of better healthcare technology could mean that the average person is going to live longer. The table below illustrates the life expectancy of people at certain ages. For example, a female that is currently 65 years old is expected to live a further 20 years (age 85)



Therefore, your personal inflation rate, changes in future returns and life expectancy all influence the investment strategy you need to follow.

Kind regards,

Vincent Heys
