It’s not just a tax-free investment. It’s a milestone worth celebrating.

As South Africa moves beyond its first decade of tax‑free investing, the real story is no longer about whether people understand Tax‑Free Investment (TFI) accounts – it’s about how they are using them. Insights from the 2025 Nedgroup Investments Tax‑Free Investments Survey show that tax‑free investing has matured into a core part of long‑term financial planning, particularly among younger investors. Nearly eight in ten respondents already have a TFI in place, reflecting strong adoption and a growing culture of disciplined saving.

Unpacking investing and spending as two sides of the same coin

In this podcast, Rob Johnson, Head of Investments, sits down with Nic Andrew, Managing Executive, to explore a powerful mindset shift: viewing spending as the other half of investing, an intentional choice that safeguards long-term goals rather than eroding them. Drawing inspiration from Morgan Housel’s The Art of Spending, Nic shares practical, values-driven habits designed to help investors stay confident and committed through uncertainty. With a forward-looking perspective on early 2026, the conversation distils three enduring principles: uncertainty is constant, flexibility matters, and time in the market wins.

The hidden cost of AI and the global water crisis

Training one advanced AI model emits the same carbon as 300 cross-country flights. Meanwhile, water demand is projected to outstrip supply by 2050. Tune in to episode 5 of Sustainable Returns as David Levinson talks to Madhushree Agarwal, Portfolio Manager at Nedgroup Investments UK, about these issues and why they both have huge implications for markets. Madhushree also shares more on AI’s carbon footprint because while it is revolutionising industries, it comes at a steep environmental price. Data centres consume large amounts of energy and water, which is raising urgent questions about sustainability. Plus, insights on the global water crisis - from desalination to smart irrigation, find out where risk meets opportunity for investors.
