The new secret weapon A lot has been said about value and the need for advisers to engage with their clients in new ways with different messages. So how do you engage with clients who are completely different to one another with the same set of products in your repertoire? Challenges approaching from every side What are South Africa’s major problems when it comes to retirement?
