Benchmark 2020

Read Between the Lines

This year the Sanlam Benchmark research considered the impact of COVID-19 specifically on the retirement fund industry. Human behaviour lies at the centre of decision-making and action. For decades we have seen the effect of not planning, saving and making the requisite financial changes in an attempt to avert a personal financial crisis at retirement.

Our approach to the Sanlam Benchmark research differed from previous years in that we did not conduct the annual tracking surveys with stand-alone retirement funds and participating employers in umbrella funds. As we found ourselves in uncharted territory, we had to be agile in our response to the unique information needs of not only our clients but also the broader retirement fund industry. For the purposes of this report, we also relied on a number of secondary research sources. Each has been appropriately credited throughout this report.
