ANTHONY JOHN FUND QUEST
“Compulsion is going to be the only way most people provide for retirement. Over the last ten years, there has been a privatisation of pensions. The government can’t provide for everyone living here. The burden will be too much for the state.”

LEE CHAPMAN VERDANT WEALTH
“I haven’t started thinking about pensions yet, I’m 21 . If pensions are still around when I’m older, which I doubt, then I would like to pay into a Final Pension Salary scheme. I’m going to invest in the property sector, and property will act in the way of a pension.”

STEPHEN RYDE STANDARD BANK
“I don’t think people should be made to pay into a Final Pension Salary scheme. Instead, people should be made more aware as there is a lack of education. When I was 25, I had no idea. Only when I had kids, did I become more aware.”
