What do we say
EMPLOYERS play an important role in the future economic empowerment of employees. In fact, EMPLOYERS are key in the system to make a real difference in the future economic outlook of retirees.
Group financing and retirement planning that is individualised and managed by a professional financial planner attracts and retains talent. It also offers significant cost benefits and increased return on investment over time. Due to limited knowledge, the majority of employees with access to EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANNING choose default options, which in general offers conservative growth. Decision-making also resides with a Board of Trustees that does not specialise in financial and retirement planning. Monitoring of performances by funds is not conducted comprehensively and on a regular basis, leaving room for neglect and poor decision-making.
Group financing is key but individualisation and personalised service makes the real difference – for EMPLOYEES and EMPLOYERS alike.
Ultima offers EMPLOYERS the opportunity to develop flexible and dynamic EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFITS that come with training and on-going professional financial advice. We are committed to help you create financial security and wealth for your employees over time, providing them with peace of mind and the capability to live a meaningful life. Together we enhance your organisation as an EMPLOYER-OF-CHOICE. We look after the future financial security of your employees. As a professional financial planner and advisor focused on personalised service and care, we CREATE VALUE TO ENABLE A MEANINGFUL LIFE for all South African citizens. We do this by offering:
Comprehensive EMPLOYEE FINANCIAL PLANNING AND RETIREMENT BENEFIT consulting services to South African companies from Small and Medium Sized Enterprises to large corporations employing hundreds of people. – Individual financial and retirement planning and advice.

It is hard to find the words to express my appreciation of and my gratitude to Ultima for their invaluable financial advice and guidance over the past few years. They were incredibly professional from my first phone call, the friendly reception upon arrival, as well as every aspect of the business I have done with them. As far as I am concerned, Ultima go way above and beyond expectations.

I have always been impressed with Ultima’s client care, exceptional business ethics, and integrity, which are rare in a world where such values are becoming increasingly unimportant. I appreciate Ultima’s active planning and management, during which planners and clients can get to know each other’s investment philosophies to adapt and achieve their financial goals based on their specific needs in the long term.
