Save more with a flat-fee RA

A percentage fee takes more as your balance grows. A flat fee doesn't. That difference compounds in your favour.

Figures are illustrative projections, not a guarantee of returns. Projections run from your current age to retirement at age 65 and assume growth of 10% a year (compounded monthly, before inflation). Both scenarios use the same growth and monthly contribution - only the fee differs. The Fynbos line applies a flat R100/month fee; the comparison applies an annual fee charged on your entire balance (a typical platform + advisor fee), deducted monthly. The chart shows your projected retirement pot, and "you keep an extra" is the difference in final value between the two fee structures. No tax, TFSA limits, brokerage costs, or inflation adjustment are applied.

Why choose Fynbos for your RA?

savings

Pay a flat platform fee

A percentage fee takes more every year your balance grows. With a flat fee, your cost stays still and the difference compounds in your favour.

cards_stack

Multiple fund choices

Most platforms limit your options. We offer multiple Reg 28-compliant funds at the same flat fee. Switch anytime.

sell

No charges from an advisor

RAs are typically sold through advisors who take an ongoing cut. Fynbos is direct. No intermediary, no commission, no extra layer of fees on top of your fund costs.

You start the transfer in the app; we collect what’s needed and deal with your current provider for you.

  1. The timing

Section 14 transfers are regulated and can take a few weeks. We keep you updated at each step.
