The current state of the South African economy is a concern for many, and the absence of clear policy direction has slowed investment and GDP growth. This uncertainty is especially concerning for seniors looking to invest a portion of their lifelong savings in retirement accommodation. And it’s understandable, given that these funds cannot easily be replaced.

So, how do you future-proof your retirement lifestyle during uncertain economic times? I believe that the Evergreen Life Right offers seniors the opportunity to create a stable situation for themselves, and here’s why…

The Evergreen Lifestyle retirement group opened for business in 2008, just as the last global recession hit. Yet in spite of this timing, our business has continued to grow. In 2018, the listed PSG Group acquired 50% of the equity in Evergreen and, given its track record of investing in successful growth businesses like Capitec Bank and Curro Schools, we took this as a huge vote of confidence in Evergreen.

Both PSG and Evergreen’s founding shareholder, the Amdec Property Group, remain confident in South Africa and its future, and we believe that the strength of these shareholders should give Evergreen residents and prospective purchasers financial peace of mind.

Another excellent reason for peace of mind is the Evergreen Life Right which takes many of the risks out of a retirement lifestyle. A life right is the strongest property right in South Africa, protected by an Act of Parliament. It provides security of tenure for both partners along with a host of other benefits, including:

• Flexible purchase pricing
• Access to emergency capital
• No property risk
• No special levies
• Continuous care
• Strong shareholders capable of weathering a tough economy
