For many South Africans, their retirement savings pot represents the biggest financial asset they hold.

Belinda Carbutt, investment specialist in the Group Savings and Investments team at Allan Gray, joins Kaya Biz to discuss the world of umbrella retirement funds and what employers and employees can do to get the most out of the product.
